Full Tilt Re-launch Novemeber 6th: Update for Non-US Players

Yesterday PokerStars sent an email out on behalf of Full Tilt to announce that Full Tilt will be relaunched on November 6th under The Rational Group - the same company that operates PokerStars.

The re-launch sees Full Tilt operate under a license in the Isle of Man, and backed up by "the same account security and game integrity that millions of PokerStars players have trusted for more than 10 years" states the email newsletter on the re-launch. The Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission is particularly committed to the safeguarding of player funds, which will be a great reassurance to all Full Tilt players. (For more information and details on player protection visit the Isle of Man's Gambling Supervision Commission's dedicated page.)

News of the re-launch date comes with confirmation that all non-US Full Tilt accounts will be restored - including those of RakeTheRake players - in preparation for November 6th when all the tournaments and games that players came to enjoy will once again be made available. This means...

• Access to your full balance with no restrictions, including withdrawals!


• Normal access to Full Tilt player accounts with normal passwords


• Renewed access to Full Tilt Poker real and play-money games

RakeTheRake have not heard anything about rakeback going forward at this time, or any news on Full Tilt Poker rakeback deals with RakeTheRake. However, we can confirm that rakeback from the last week of June 2011 will be paid out to players, so that is something of an encouraging start at least. We will of course keep you up-to-date with any further news on the Full Tilt re-launch - particularly with regard to rakeback payments and any potential future deals.
