Full Tilt Points are our way of giving back to any player who participates in a real-money game on Full Tilt Poker – the more you play, the more points you earn. Use your points to get gear from the Full Tilt Poker Store or enter exclusive Full Tilt Points tournaments.

Earning Points

Start earning Full Tilt Points by playing in any qualifying raked real-money hand in a ring game or a real-money Multi-Table Tournament or Sit & Go with a tournament fee:

• Ring Games: For each dollar raked from a pot, every player who was dealt cards for that hand will receive 1 Full Tilt Point. For example, if $2.00 in rake is taken from a pot, each player who was dealt cards will receive 2 points. Fractional points are also awarded; if $2.25 in rake is taken, players will receive 2.25 points. A maximum of 3 points can be earned per hand.

• Tournaments: For every dollar paid in Multi-Table Tournament or Sit & Go fees, you’ll receive 7 Full Tilt Points. There is no limit to the number of points you can earn per tournament. For example, if you play in a tournament with a $10 buy-in and a $1 tournament fee, you’ll receive 7 points; if you play in a tournament with a $200 buy-in and a $16 tournament fee, you’ll receive 112 points.

Spending Points

Once you’ve earned enough Full Tilt Points, you can use them to:

• Get clothes, electronics, books, DVDs and more from the Full Tilt Poker Store; earning points is the only way to get the items available in the store
• Enter exclusive Full Tilt Points tournaments, where you can win entries to satellite tournaments and other great prizes

Keep track of your points balance by clicking the red Cashier button in the game lobby.

Double and Triple Points

Earn double or even triple Full Tilt Points just by playing in your favorite ring games and tournaments during our daily Happy Hour periods. Look for specially designated tables with the “smiley face” next to them in the game lobby to start earning points faster. Your bonus points will automatically appear in your account, so all you have to worry about is how to spend them.

Erick Lindgren plays online exclusively at Full Tilt Poker.

Erick won his first major tournament at the Bellagio in 2002 and followed that up with his first WPT win just 10 months later. Not even six months after that, Erick won the Poker Million III, where he walked away with the million dollar top prize.

Erick came back strong at the start of 2006, when he took third in the WPT No-Limit Hold ‘em Championship event at the Borgata Winter Open. Then, Erick won the Fourth Annual Five Star Poker Classic. In June 2006, Erick won $600,000 in the $120,000 No-Limit Hold ‘em event at the “FullTiltPoker.Net Pro Showdown at the Red Rock Casino.” After that, he cashed in four events at the 2006 WSOP, finishing second in Short Handed No-Limit Hold ‘em to fellow Full Tilt Poker pro Jeff Madsen.

After a few months rest, Erick returned to form at the 2007 Aussie Millions where he won the Main Event and more than $795,000 in prize money. He cashed in a number of tournaments throughout the rest of the year, including two top-10 finishes on the WPT and an eighth-place finish in the WSOP’s $1,500 No-Limit Hold ‘em Shootout event.

In June of 2008, Erick earned his first WSOP bracelet. He worked his way through a starting field of 331 players to claim victory in the $5K Mixed Hold ‘em event. In addition to his bracelet, Erick earned over $374K. That victory brought Erick’s career tournament winnings to more than $7 million and moved him to 20th on the all-time money list.

Given his drive and competitive nature, we’re sure he won’t stop there.

Erik Seidel plays online exclusively at Full Tilt Poker.

Erik was born and raised in New York where he started out as a backgammon player. He spent eight years on the backgammon tournament circuit before moving on to the stock market. For years, Erik traded on Wall Street and played poker on the side. Now he lives in Las Vegas and it’s the other way around.

The first time Erik played in the World Series of Poker Championship Event, he finished second. He made it back to the final table of the Championship Event in 1999 where he finished fourth. Erik won his first bracelet in 1994 in the $5K Limit Hold ‘em event. In 2005, he made four final tables at the WSOP and he won his seventh bracelet in the $2,000 No-Limit Hold ‘em tournament. In 2007, Erik won his eighth career bracelet, tying him for fourth all time with the legendary Johnny Moss.

Erik started 2008 in style, taking second place and $880,000 in prize money at the Aussie Millions Main Event. Just three months later, Erik bettered his results by winning his first World Poker Tour Championship and nearly $993,000 at the Foxwoods Poker Classic. He continued his fine play at the 2008 WSOP where he made two final tables, claiming fifth place in the $10K World Championship 7-Card Stud tournament and fourth place in the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha tournament.

When not playing in tournaments, Erik listens to music, plays tennis, and can be found playing poker online at FullTiltPoker.

Gus Hansen plays online at Full Tilt Poker.

Gus was born on February 13th, 1974 just outside of Copenhagen, Denmark and grew up playing a lot of sports, especially tennis.

Gus has always been fascinated by numbers and math. When he was introduced to backgammon, it became a challenge and he practiced intensively until he was ready to test his skills around the world. Gus ended up in New York, touring backgammon and gin rummy clubs, and hanging out with guys like Huckleberry Seed and Phil Laak. It was during this time that Gus was introduced to various types of poker, including Stud games.

Gus played his first World Series of Poker in 1996 but, looking back, says he had absolutely no chance of winning, as he had never really played No-Limit Hold ‘em before then. After being knocked out on the first day, Gus decided to start practicing more, testing new plays and experimenting with different styles. Experimentation and mixing-up his style has been part of Gus’ game ever since.

By 1998, Gus found himself playing more poker than backgammon, and making more frequent trips to Las Vegas. When the World Poker Tour kicked off in 2002, Gus had developed a loose, aggressive style that immediately paid off, both in terms of money and recognition.

Gus won the WPT’s inaugural event, the $10,000 No-Limit Hold ‘em tournament at the Five Diamond World Poker Classic. Later that year, Gus took down another event, the $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em Championship at the WPT’s L.A. Poker Classic.

During the WPT’s second season, Gus won the invitation-only Bad Boys of Poker tournament and, in early 2004, earned his fourth WPT title at the Caribbean Adventure tournament. Gus was also in contention for another title that season, but had to settle for third place in the Bellagio Five Diamond tournament when his pocket 10s failed to hold up against his opponent’s A-Q.

Gus reached yet another final table during the WPT’s third season, but ended up with a third-place finish in the Bay 101 Shooting Stars tournament. All in all, those four WPT wins and five final table appearances earned Gus induction into the WPT’s Walk of Fame the first year they launched it. To this day, Gus remains the only player on the WPT with four titles to his credit.

In 2005, Gus decided to play fewer tournaments in order to focus on his cash game. Still, even with the reduction in tournament play, Gus made it the final table at the FullTiltPoker.Net Poker Invitational from Monaco and won the Grand Final of the inaugural Poker Superstars Invitational.

In 2006, Gus has been even more selective about his participation in tournaments and other events. Recently, he played in the second season of High Stakes Poker where he won the biggest pot in the show’s history ($575,700) defeating Daniel Negreanu’s 6 6 with his 5 5 on a board of 9 6 5 5 8.

In 2007, Gus continued to build on his growing list of tournament championships, bringing home $1,192,919 for his first-place finish in the $10,000 Aussie Millions Main Event in Melbourne, Australia. Gus added another $1.7 million in tournament winnings to his bankroll in 2008 when he finished second to fellow Full Tilt Poker pro David Chiu in the WPT’s World Championship at Bellagio. 2008 saw Gus take second in the WPT’s $25K World Championship event where he banked more than $1.7 million and 10th at the WSOP’s $10K World Championship Mixed event.

When not playing tournament poker, Gus is a regular participant in the “Big Game” at the Bellagio battling it out in as many as 13 different poker games with players such as Phil Ivey, Doyle Brunson, Barry Greenstein, and David Benyamine.

Online, Gus can often be found in a high-limit Pot-Limit Omaha game or an Omaha 8/B Limit game on FullTiltPoker.com. On occasion, he can also be found in low-stakes Limit Hold ‘em and Razz games, along with low-limit SNGs and some of FullTiltPoker.com’s larger tournaments.

If Gus isn’t playing poker, there is a good chance you can find him on the golf course, the tennis court, the squash court or playing soccer with his friends, as he finds that playing sports and working out help him maintain the physical stamina he believes is needed to be a successful poker player.

Gus also finds time in his schedule to provide poker commentary for both Danish and American television shows, and is always ready to play a high-stakes backgammon match against anybody who would like to challenge him.

Gus is currently single and resides in Monte Carlo, Monaco where he spends a lot of time with his family.
