Full Tilt Poker Returning November 6 with Deal Me In Promotion
When it re-launches on November 6, the revived Full Tilt Poker will kick off Deal Me In. It consists of four individual promotions, the first being freeroll tournaments that will run daily from November 6 to November 11. These will award more than$250,000 in combined prize money and according to a press release received this week, “The prize pools increase in size on a daily basis, with $10,000 to be won in each of the ten tournaments scheduled for Sunday, November 11.”
Deal Me In Bonus Packages have also been given to Full Tilt players. These include bonuses of at least $200 per player along with a Rush Poker game ticket for whenever the person sees fit to use it. Full Tilt added that new players will also receive Deal Me In Bonus Packages: “New players will be extended their bonus offer, in addition to the First Deposit Welcome Package, once they make a deposit and begin playing real money games.”
Discounted ring game and tournament tickets will be available in the Full Tilt Poker Store. According to the soon-to-be-opened online poker site, which is now operating under the watchful guise of PokerStars, “Discounted tickets are available for ring games, Steps Tournaments, FTOPS events, and some of Full Tilt Poker’s most popular daily and weekly tournaments.”
Full Tilt will be holding Happy Hour Week, which means double Full Tilt Points at all hours of the day. Different Happy Hour games will be featured each day during the first week of the re-launch, with players being able to use their points in the Store for items like the aforementioned discount ring game and tournament tickets.
Full Tilt is also bringing back its popular FTOPS starting December 2 and running through December 16. This will mark the first FTOPS since Black Friday and PocketFives has learned that Full Tilt plans to announce details of the series on November 9.
What we do know is that FTOPS XXIwill feature a Satellite Frenzy that will dole out $300,000 in FTOPS entries. When the Satellite Frenzy will take place is not clear.
PokerStars purchased the assets of Full Tilt Poker in a deal consummated in August with a $225 million payment to the U.S. Government. PokerStars assumed responsibility for repaying non-U.S. Full Tilt players, while the U.S. Government will remit payment to U.S. players as part of a yet-to-be-determined process. PokerStars’ deal to purchase the assets of Full Tilt Poker was worth about three-quarters of a billion dollars.
Gus Hansen, Viktor Isildur1Blom, and Tom durrrrDwan will serve as the faces of the re-launched Full Tilt. The site will hold a license from the Isle of Man, with player funds being held in a separate trust account from operating capital. The old Full Tilt intermingled funds, leading to insolvency and charges from the U.S. Government that it was no more than a Ponzi scheme.
