Full Tilt Poker News

Full Tilt Poker has released a new version of their software that includes two cool new features:

  • Run the board twice in cash game all-in situations (provided all players agree)
  • New Cashout tournaments, allowing players to cashout some or all of their tournament chips before the end of the tournament

Also, you can be a part of the November Nine at the World Series of Poker* via the Full Tilt Poker “Win a Piece of Ivey” promotion that is currently underway at their site. By playing in designated poker games on Full Tilt Poker, you can win a percentage of whatever Phil Ivey wins at the WSOP* Main Event.

Poker Host’s 5 WSOP Seats

Starting June 18th, Poker Host is running their Caveman promotion in which they are giving away 5 WSOP seats. (Actually, they are giving away 5 prize packages worth $12K, but you can use it for the $10K entry fee to the WSOP and $2K in travel expenses.)

Poker Host has one of the best initial deposit bonuses in the industry at 100% up to $2000. In addition, they offer this bonus on your second deposit as well, so if you already have an account and have only made one deposit, you can claim this bonus and top off your account as you go for one of these WSOP prize packages.

They claim to have “the highest success rate of credit card deposits in the industry”, but there is no way that I can see to verify their claim.

Update: Here is the transcript of a chat that I just had with the good folks at Poker Host. They clarified their claim about credit card deposits.

Josh: Thank you for contacting PokerHost Support! How can I help you today?
