Full Tilt makes it even Easier to get Full Tilt Points

2010-10-26T14:11:00.001-04:00

Important Information Regarding Full Tilt Poker Points

We have made it much easier for your players to earn Full Tilt Poker Points making it much faster for players to hit 250 points and generate your CPA.

Players can start building their point bankroll by playing in any qualifying raked real-money hand in a ring game or a real-money Multi-Table Tournament or Sit & Go with a tournament fee.

Ring Games: For each dollar raked from the pot in a real-money ring game, 10 Full Tilt Points will be awarded to the table and then split equally between all players dealt into the hand. For example:

In a full-ring game, if nine players are dealt into a hand and a total of $1.80 is raked from the pot, 18 Full Tilt Points are awarded to the table. The 18 points are then split equally and all nine players receive two Full Tilt Points for that hand.
In a 6-Max game, if six players are dealt into a hand and a total of $1.80 is raked from the pot, 18 Full Tilt Points are awarded to the table and each player receives three points for that hand.
In a heads-up game, if two players are dealt into a hand and a total of $0.40 is raked from the pot, 4 Full Tilt Points are awarded to the table and each player receives two points for that hand.

Please note that fractional points can also be awarded. For example, if two players are dealt into a hand and $0.50 is raked from the pot, each player receives 2.5 points for that hand.

Tournaments: For every dollar paid in Multi-Table Tournament or Sit & Go fees, players will receive 10 Full Tilt Points. There is no limit to the number of points they can earn per tournament. For example, if your player plays in a tournament with a $10 buy-in and a $1 tournament fee, they'll receive 10 points; if your player plays in a tournament with a $200 buy-in and a $16 tournament fee, they'll receive 160 points.
