Don't panic - it's good news this time. While 'discord' generally means a lack of agreement and people not getting along, in this context it means the exact opposite.
To start playing today with PokerStars just follow our hassle-free download process.The award-winning software is available across a range of widely-used platforms and hand-held devices, including. This is a discussion on can't set up EU version of pokerstars within the online. PokerStars Mobile - Deutsch Mobile - PS Casino #1. Was to download standard pokerstars client, it updated.
Now, if you're of a certain age and bent, you're already saying 'Wait - PokerStars is on Discord?' But if this is all new to you... Discord is a voice and text chat platform where people can talk and chat (think 'Skype crossed with forum software'). It has 25 million users and is very popular among the gamer crowd for voice chat within games, and for discussing those games when they're not actually playing.
We saw that and said, 'Hey, what a great place to meet and talk with our players.' We've had the PokerStars Discord server up for about a week now and it's beginning to buzz with discussion. With both SCOOP and Monte Carlo going on, there's plenty to talk about.
This is also going to be a place where you can interact directly with PokerStars employees. This won't be for customer support - support@pokerstars.com is still the best place for that - but where you can have one-on-one conversations with your fellow players and the people who make PokerStars tick.
We're also going to have a series of AMA ('Ask Me Anything') gatherings where we bring in PokerStars subject matter experts, Team Pros, poker luminaries - anybody we can coax into the hot seat to answer your questions in real time.
In fact, on Wednesday, May 3rd, at 1:00pm Eastern Time (6:00pm UK), Team Pro Online member Jaime Staples is going to host the first PokerStars Discord AMA. I'm sure by now you're thinking, 'Okay - how do I get in?' Easy - go here:
If you already have a Discord ID, it will simply add the PokerStars server to your list. If you don't have a Discord ID, it will invite you to create one and then populate that ID with the PokerStars server. If you want to add a League of Legends discussion group after that, it's up to you.
Our Discord community has very few rules - basically we expect you to be civil and polite, both to your fellow members and to the PokerStars employees and Team Pros who are there. That's not to say you can't tell us how we can do our job better - in fact, that's one of the main reasons that we're there. We just ask (and expect) you to tell us in an appropriate and constructive manner. Bring us your tough questions and incisive comments - we're listening.
If you find that being positive and constructive is just not in your range today, have no fear - we have a special discussion channel called #padded_tilt_room. You can go there and rage about bad beats, rigged shuffles, and whatever else is eating at you.
Then come back out and let's talk.
We want the PokerStars Discord to be a place where you get information from us, and we get feedback, questions, and concerns from you. But none of that happens if you're not there. Remember:
And when you see something that looks like:
You know you're in the right place. See you on Wednesday, May 3rd at 1:00pm Eastern (6:00pm UK) for Jaime Staples' AMA, or sooner.

Our commitment to improving the PokerStars software and the PokerStars customer experience in recent years has limited the amount of focus and resources we could apply to the evolution of Full Tilt.
The last remaining assets of the Full Tilt software are set to be taken offline on February 25. On that date players will no longer be able to access the iconic brand, pokerfuse has learned.
Since May 2016, Full Tilt had been operating as a skin on the PokerStars network under its own branding, sharing the same games and player pool, rewards program and account system.
The only differentiator was the cosmetic look and the retention of the Full Tilt assets including the classic cartoonish avatars and Full Tilt special table themes.
On Thursday next week, this will no longer be the case as the Full Tilt desktop and mobile application and its branding will be completely ceased and replaced with PokerStars, its original buyer.
Existing Full Tilt users can migrate to the PokerStars platform using the same Full Tilt username and password, the FAQ page for the migration process states. Players’ balances and bonuses will automatically be switched to the PokerStars platform.
- For more than a decade, PokerStars has led the industry with the best software, largest player pool and safest environment to play.
- Great Welcome Bonus: $30 freeplay on your first deposit, letting you play real money games for free, or a huge 100% up to $600 deposit bonus.
- Home of the Sunday Million, WCOOP & SCOOP, Spin & Gos and more.
Full Tilt Shutdown Process Already Started in 2020
The decision to shut down Full Tilt did not come out of the blue. PokerStars began the process to close Full Tilt software for the dot-EU players in October last year.
In fact, this was speculated by our industry-focused sister site Poker Industry PROin early 2020 considering the cuts the operator had been making. Ten months later, the operator took its first step and switched the download link for Full Tilt.EU desktop and mobile platform with that of PokerStars.EU.
It also released a FAQ page that is now available on PokerStars’ .EU and .COM sites.
“Our commitment to improving the PokerStars software and the PokerStars customer experience in recent years has limited the amount of focus and resources we could apply to the evolution of Full Tilt,” the FAQ page for the pending shutdown states.
It remains to be seen whether FullTilt.com website will remain available once the software is gone. PokerStars has yet to respond to our inquiry.
One and a Half Decades of Full Tilt Poker
Full Tilt Poker was launched in 2004, just three years after PokerStars’ inception. It was opened with the involvement of some of the biggest names in the industry: Raymond Bitar, Chris Ferguson, Howard Lederer, Mike Matusow, Jennifer Harman and others.

Post-UIEGA, it became the main competitor of PokerStars and the second largest online poker room worldwide. It also became home of nosebleed cash game action involving big pros such as Tom Dwan, Phil Ivey, Viktor “Isildur” Blom and Gus Hansen—who all became Full Tilt ambassadors.
The second-largest online poker room changed the landscape of online poker by introducing several unique features to its poker platform. It invented Rush Poker, a fast-fold poker variant that has been a wildly success innovation and is now ubiquitous.
However, Black Friday happened in 2011 and this led to the brand’s downfall. It did return in late 2012 after it was bought by PokerStars with its own player pool and software and continued to operate for few more years, but its traffic was nowhere close to pre-Black Friday.

In 2015, the operator adopted a dramatic strategy to make the poker room more attractive to “recreational” players by removing table selection, heads-up games, nosebleed games and mixed games.
It then revamped its reward program to please casual players, a pivotal moment for the industry in its approach to player loyalty.
No, Full Tilt Software Is Not Up for Sale
However, this was not well received by the players and its cash game traffic took an immediate hit.We feel it is time to consolidate brands so that everyone has access to the newest features and most innovative games which are available exclusively on PokerStars
Ultimately, Full Tilt was migrated to the PokerStars platform in 2016.
Initially, the site retained the old Full Tilt branded games such as Jackpot Sit & Go’s instead of Spin & Go, and Rush Poker in place of Zoom. But the branding was gradually changed to match that of PokerStars.
At that time, a Full Tilt representative told PRO that the original software would not be put up for sale.
Over the past few years, PokerStars has made several changes to its platforms, including introducing a new game engine, Aurora, and a new Mobile NG platform for its mobile apps.
Keeping Full Tilt in sync with these upgrades was obviously an extra burden for the operator. Although it did eventually bring Aurora on Full Tilt, it had fallen out of step in many key areas such as lacking new games like Grand Tour, Tempest and even Spin & Go Max, which was launched many years ago.
Considering that the operator had been putting more focus on PokerStars brand, the shutdown of Full Tilt ultimately seemed inevitable.
