On March 14th 2013 the Department of Justice has appointed an administrator for Full Tilt Poker meaning that former US players may now make their claims. This will now hopefully lead to all US players owed funds by Tilt being paid and should put a close to things. Full Tilt continues to serve the non US market.
As you may have heard, Full Tilt Poker along with Absolute Poker, Poker Stars, and Ultimate Bet have been closed to US players due to the alleged improprieties conducted by the owners. Several indictments were handed down and the sites were closed by the FBI. In lieu of these recent events, all is not lost to poker players from the US.
Full Tilt Poker is open for non US players and is now owned by online poker giants PokerStars.
