Full Tilt Poker Changes Rewards Structure

Leading online poker site Full Tilt Poker announced changes in its rewards structure on the same day its parent company Amaya Gaming revealed it would be diving head first into the Daily Fantasy Sports space with the acquisition of existing brand Victiv.com.

It was an especially busy Thursday morning for Amaya.

Among the changes:

• Doubling what we give away in our freeroll tournaments.
• Mystery prizes will be awarded to those who play a few times a week.
• There will be daily added-money tournaments open to Players Club members.

“In the first month after Players Club launches, we’ll bump these rewards even more to ensure all players get to enjoy the new benefits, with over $200,000 in added value,” Full Tilt Poker says.

At the heart of Players Club rewards will be a brand new game called The Deal.

“It’s fun, fast action and there are all kinds of prizes up for grabs, from tickets and cash all the way up to a progressive jackpot that we’ll kick start at $100,000. We’ve crafted the entire experience in such a way that if you’re an average player playing an average session, you’ll get a shot at that jackpot pretty much every single time you play.

“The changes introduced over the last month are based not only on our in-depth analysis of Full Tilt, our customers’ behaviour and the poker industry at large, but are part of our philosophy to keep poker fun, no matter where you’re playing or what stakes you’re wagering.”

Reaction from the online poker community to the changes had yet to be determined at the time this was going to press.
