The website relaunched last month after a turbulent period that saw its previous owners fall foul of authorities on both sides of the Atlantic. Its poker and gaming operations are licensed in the Isle of Man.

The change of ownership means that Full Tilt is now part of the Rational Group, which employs 1,500 people globally. “We have a number of remaining open positions that we are seeking to fill,” he said. The jobs are mainly in information technology, content management, data analysis and engineering, as well as finance and other roles.Ī spokesman said yesterday that job numbers there have grown from 175 to more than 200 in recent weeks and confirmed the business is continuing to recruit. This week, a new company, Rational FT Services, responsible for servicing the website, advertised for staff to work at its Dublin offices in Cherrywood Industrial Park. Rival Pokerstars took over Full Tilt, whose service hub is in Dublin, last August, following a court settlement in New York that involved paying about €600 million to the poker site’s former players and a complete split from its previous owners. In the end, they are responsible for customers getting their payouts on time.Full Tilt, the poker website rescued in August after legal and licensing problems shut it down, is on a recruitment drive. This was an expensive move for Pokerstars to take, but they absolutely did the right thing. It's moves like this that tell you why Pokerstars continues to add market share and leave the rest of the competition far behind. How can they not at this point without looking bad? As we said yesterday, a normal run-of-the-mill bonus isn't enough - players need to be compensated with cash for their troubles. It will be interesting to see whether or not Full Tilt Poker follows suit. They were obviously aware of the growing discontent in the community, and acted appropriately. They were likely just telling their customers what their eCheck processors were telling them - the cashouts will be processed soon, etc etc. Pokerstars have been put between a rock and a hard place in the past month. Players will then be able to withdraw via other means, such as paper checks.

They go on to say that if cashouts DON'T start hitting accounts on Tuesday, then they will cancel all delayed eCheck cashouts and credit player accounts for the cashout amounts. Pokerstars further went on to say that they have been told by their eCheck processors that cashouts will start "hitting players' bank accounts on Monday, May 12th or at the very latest on Tuesday, May 13". Again, you will receive these bonuses regardless of whether or not you receive your money on Monday or Tuesday. Pokerstars said that bonuses will be applied to players' accounts by "end of day, Monday, May 12".

These bonuses will be paid out even if eCheck withdrawals magically start showing up in bank accounts early this week. These bonuses will not have to be "earned" - they will be deposited straight into player accounts, and could be cashed out immediately. Pokerstars said earlier today that they would be issuing bonuses of 20% of the delayed cashout amount for people that requested eCheck withdrawals from April 15th to May 10th and didn't receive their funds. Pokerstars said that they will be issuing no-strings attached bonuses to those who were affected by the delays. Customer service reps from both sites have been claiming that the cashouts would be showing up on any number of different dates, but still no money had appeared. Many Pokerstars and Full Tilt Poker customers have been waiting weeks for their eCheck cashouts to arrive, but nothing has shown up as of yet. Pokerstars issued a statement today that dealt with the issue of delayed eCheck cashouts. In a somewhat surprising announcement, it seems that the legal problems surrounding the world’s second largest online poker site, Full Tilt Poker, are only beginning.
