Looking for Full Tilt Poker Alternatives?
07/02/2025As many of you know by now, Full Tilt Poker had their license suspended by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission on Wednesday. Since this time, games, new sign-ups and payment processing have been halted. A report issued today from the Los Angeles Times stated that Full Tilt Poker has been sold to European Investors and that Phil Ivey would be dropping his lawsuit against the site. This is obviously great news if the deal is completed and could be a positive sign towards games resuming and players being paid.
In the meantime, you may be looking for a new, safe European room to play. Online Poker Central recommends players have a look at one of our top partnered rooms:
