Full Tilt Poker: What Players Need To Know About PokerStars Deal

Over the weekend further details emerged which helps to somewhat clear up the confusion surrounding the deal.

Last week it was announced that PokerStars will be acquiring Full Tilt Poker along with all of the debts. Players, however, are still somewhat in the dark as to exactly what this means for them and whether or not they can expect to get their money back from Full Tilt. Over the weekend further details emerged regards the deal which helps to somewhat clear things up. Early indications are suggesting that PokerStars plans to have Full Tilt Poker back up and running by early November. Specifically Sunday 4th has been put forward as the potential launch date. It is expected that "most" European player accounts will be reactivated upon relaunch and FULL balances will be available to cashout immediately. In total is thought around $200 million is going to be paid back to players, including those in the UK. It has also been rumoured that you will be able to transfer cash between the two sites, which is something that will likely appeal to many players who have now found their poker home at Stars following Full Tilt's demise in 2011. Full Tilt will operate under the same licensing arrangements as PokerStars. There will be an Isle of Man as well as a Malta based license, with the website operating from both FullTiltPoker.com and FullTiltPoker.eu, depending on the location in Europe of the player.
