Full Tilt Poker Announce Re-Launch Date Officially

Full Tilt Poker today sent out a communication officially announcing the re-launch of FTP under the Pokerstars banner. It is being looked forward to by many players and there is excitement in the poker community. All players today will have received the following communication. 

Dear XXX,

Full Tilt Poker will re-launch under new ownership on November 6th, 2012.

The Rational Group, which owns and operates PokerStars, acquired assets of Full Tilt Poker in August 2012 and appointed new senior management to re-open and operate the site as a separate brand to PokerStars, providing the online poker community with another high-quality poker platform.

Following re-launch, you will have complete access to your account - including your full balance - and you can once again play on the innovative online poker platform that made Full Tilt Poker home to serious online poker players.

This means you'll soon be able to return to the Full Tilt Poker games and tournaments that you've known and loved for years, secure in the knowledge that your experience is now backed by the same account security and game integrity that millions of PokerStars players have trusted for more than 10 years.

Full Tilt Poker now operates under a license in Isle of Man, which is among the most trusted and rigorous e-gaming regulatory jurisdictions in the world. The Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission maintains vigilant standards for e-gaming, particularly the safeguarding of player funds. Information on these standards can be found here.

Since August, we've been carefully reviewing all Full Tilt player accounts in preparation for re-opening. In the coming weeks we will be completing the restoration of all non-US player accounts including yours, in preparation for re-launch day.

What this will mean for you:

• normal access to your Full Tilt Poker player account with your current password
• renewed access to all Full Tilt Poker real and play-money games
• access to your total balance without restriction, including withdrawals

We thank you for your patience during this time. We will update you further as re-launch day approaches.

I think we all are looking forward to a great site under management that has proven time and again that they know what their doing.
