The operator stated that it made the decision to consolidate brands and focus more on its flagship product, PokerStars. This move was necessary because the operator’s commitment to improving PokerStars software and customer experience limited its ability to give the same level of attention to Full Tilt. Consolidating brands will ensure that all players have access to the latest features and innovative casino games exclusively available on PokerStars.
Since all players with any PokerStars brand have a combined universal Stars Account, their balances, bonuses, tickets, tournaments, and preferences will remain intact during this consolidation.
Full Tilt was acquired by PokerStars in July 2012 as part of a settlement with the US government. Both operators had faced indictments in 2011, which led to the suspension of their US real-money operations. After the acquisition, Full Tilt was relaunched under PokerStars ownership in November 2012 and migrated onto PokerStars’ platform in 2016. The combined business later came under the ownership of Amaya, which then became the Stars Group. In 2019, Flutter acquired the Stars Group.
