Full Tilt Poker Deposit Bonus -> Play Full Tilt Poker
Bonus: 100% up to $600
They offer a 100% first-deposit bonus up to $600. This bonus is worked off at a decent rate for higher-stakes games, but very slowly at lower stakes games. The way it works is that you receive $.06 of your bonus for every dollar that is raked from the pot. Thus, people who play in higher stakes games (such as $5-$10 no-limit) end up working off the bonus very quickly, but people who play lower stakes (where the rake is generally not even a dollar) work it off VERY slowly. Most sites award you around $.10 per raked hand, so this deal is not so good for lower stakes players but it is great for higher stakes players.

Competition
FulltiltPoker.com Player Traffic
As Full Tilt's player base grows, it appears the competition is getting somewhat easier. When the site was newer and smaller, it had a reputation for being full of tight players. Now you find high-stakes games available and more money on the network. The smaller stakes games are about average.
Software
The software at Full Tilt Poker is excellent with no discernable bugs or problems. Available for both MacIntosh and Windows platforms the software runs smoothly, quickly and is easy to navigate. While the cartoonish graphics may not be to everyone's tastes they do provide a welcome change from the staid visuals found at most other poker rooms. Statistics provided in the lobby to assist table selection are average pot size, percent of players seeing the flop and hands per hour.
