Full Tilt Poker does not simply rely on big name endorsements to prove their site is worthy of player’s trust. Their company is owned by Kolyma Corporation A.V.V. which is an Alderney limited company. The European Union which is strict about which sites it allows to advertise in their jurisdictions recently white listed companies holding Alderney licenses which Full Tilt Poker also happens to have. They also maintain a license with the Kahnawake Gaming Commission in order to service the North American market. They are working hard to become one of the best poker sites online, but they still have a long ways to go in order to catch market leader PokerStars.com
The software company that powers Full Tilt Poker is based in Dublin Ireland and is called Tiltware LLC. This company was originally California-based, but in August of 2006 moved their headquarters and operations, creating 200 new jobs in Ireland. This move came at the forefront of UIGEA rumors and was completed before the bill was signed into law.
Full Tilt Poker Security and Game Fairness
Full Tilt Poker takes security and game fairness as a serious matter. Having been in business for over four years there have never been any complaints or know issues involving anything to do with random number generator issues, super users, security leaks or leaks of personal information.
Full Tilt Poker uses 128-bit SSL encryption when transmitting any forms of sensitive information. All players’ details are restricted only to Full Tilt Poker offices, and only employees who need access to player’s information are given access, and are only given access to the specific information they need.
The Full Tilt Poker random number generator and shuffle has passed numerous audits by both their license providers and third party auditors. The way their system is programmed is that cards are chosen only when they’re needed. The RNG (Random Number Generator) uses a TRNG (True Random Number Generator) and not a PRNG (Pseudo-Random Number Generator). This means the numbers truly random at a quantum level making it impossible for the resulting numbers to be predicted. All factors in determining the random numbers are internal; player’s action, mouse movement etc do not have an effect on which cards is dealt.
As you can see by Full Tilt’s endorsement from over a dozen of poker’s biggest names, their choice to operate out of the ‘Preferred Gaming District’ of Alderney as well as their numerous safeguards and state of the art technology, they are truly amongst the safest and most fair online poker rooms to play at.
