At the very least, they had to know about these issues, and they had the responsibility to act before it was too late. But, the poker community was hit with deafening silence for the most part — they never got the answers they were hoping for.

During the investigation, it was revealed that the management of FTP further deepened the crisis by issuing big loans to some of their big-name players. But, the whole story of what was actually happening behind the closed doors in those last years and months of Full Tilt Poker was never told in full. Perhaps the story of Full Tilt Poker would be much different.

In July , former FTP players could finally see the light at the end of the tunnel after long and painful months of waiting. Money was available for withdrawal, and players could also opt to transfer it to their PokerStars account through a rather simple process.

Although the repayment money was secured, there was a long process ahead. With financial issues out of the way, the question became: what would happen with Full Tilt Poker? For a little while, the room was up and running again, and with PokerStars now backing the brand, some players believed the room would bounce back and reclaim its position. It seems that PokerStars entertained the idea of keeping Full Tilt Poker alive but eventually decided not to go through with it.

While the brand certainly had some value, everything that happened over the years made it very difficult to rebuild the trust. PokerStars created a huge amount of goodwill with the player base by purchasing FTP and reimbursing players in full. You will then be asked to enter a password and re-type your chosen password in the next field. You have to do this because you cannot see what characters you are entering in the password fields, so this is to prevent you from making any mistakes.

If the passwords do not match you then know you have hit the wrong key some where within the password, so its best to retype the password again in both fields.

Once you are happy with your password enter a valid email address in the next field. You can then select your Avatar which is the character that will appear when ever you sit down at a table.

Make sure you have clicked on the two boxes where you confirm you are over 18 years of age and that you agree to the terms and conditions.

Once done hit the red Sign Me Up button at the bottom of the screen. You have now created your FullTilt Poker account but a screen will pop up which asks you to validate your email address.

To do this open your email account which you have entered onto your Full Tilt account details and you should have received an email from the Full Tilt Poker support team. This will contain your validation code. Copy and paste this code into the space provided and click on the red Validate button to continue.

You can perform this update from the Full Tilt desktop software or via your mobile device through the Full Tilt app. Players that choose not to update their accounts will need to withdraw their funds before the software upgrade takes place.

You will then be asked to confirm the details of your existing PokerStars account, or if you do not already have one, your Full Tilt account details will be used to create a new PokerStars account and you will get to keep your Full Tilt username if it is not already in use at PokerStars.

You will then need to verify that those account details are still accurate. During the account update process you will also need to verify your banking details, so make sure you have them handy when you begin the update process.

After you have completed the update process, all of your Full Tilt account assets will be immediately transferred to your new account, or to your existing PokerStars account if you already have one. All cash balances will be transferred in USD. Unused real-money ring game tickets and bonuses will be converted to real-money dollars and added to your account. Bonuses will be prorated based on the progress achieved towards completion. Players with unreleased bonuses purchased in the Edge Store will have the Full Tilt points used to purchases those bonuses refunded.

Unused Edge Rewards will be converted to real-money which will be added to your account prior to the software upgrade.
