Fulltilt Poker to re-launch on Nov 6th

Looks like Filltilt wll be back up Nov 6th! This is a copy of the e-mail I received yesterday:

---------------------------------------------------------------------

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. For more information please see our Full Tilt Poker account FAQ.

In the meantime, we welcome your feedback and ideas to help make Full Tilt Poker your number one poker site - please click here to visit the feedback page.

Sincerely,

Full Tilt Poker

Okay, but they don't mention anything about it being open to U.S. players

I got an email that said real money will not be available to US players.. only play money until further notice

Dear xxxxxx

As a player on Full Tilt Poker, you may be aware of the recent settlement reached with the U.S. Department of Justice (the "DOJ").

Full Tilt Poker will not offer real money online poker in the U.S. until it is permissible to do so under relevant law.

In relation to your account balance, you will have the opportunity to file petition with the DOJ through a remission process which will be administrated by the DOJ.

In light of the above, only play chip games will be available to Full Tilt Poker players in the U.S. following re-launch, in the first week of November, 2012. Your Full Tilt Points balance will remain intact in your account.

Please note that we are unable to answer queries in relation to your funds - all such questions should be directed to the DOJ in accordance with the procedure to be defined by them.

Please retain this email for your records.

Sincerely,

Full Tilt Poker

LOL this is a joke, full tilt is a joke is exactly what I mean.   And yep not open to US players for real money.  Nothing is really different

Not sure why some people are getting excited over this news. As another poster said their software reminds me of a bad disneyland ride. I never played there and would certainly not play there after they ponzi everyone. I guess if you feel the need to throw your money into a black hole then go for it pal.

Some people have more success at poker (regardless of the site).  I consistently do well in the rush poker tournements on Fulltilt.  The other reason to get excited is I finally have access to my $1500 that I never thought I'd see again.

Of course the site re-launch does not do F all for my US friends, but Fulltilt can't change US gambling laws.

GL where ever you end up playing.

Fair enough, good to see some people getting their money back. Can you withdraw your funds now or do they force you to play some hands first?

i need some money on my account for tomorrow on bovada help a brother out P1354A5E

I just donated two dollars in your name to the local homeless man at the corner of wal mart  so he could by a beer. Seriously though if i thought you had a chance at beating bovadas poker then i would consider it....
