FullTilt.com is For Sale

If you are an online casino poker fan, then it is highly unlikely that you have not heard of Full Tilt Poker. The insanely popular poker-centric internet casino is one of (if not the top) most visited poker sites on the World Wide Web. Among the highly competitive world of poker-based online casinos, Full Tilt routinely takes top marks, for its outstanding graphics and sound quality; for its wide variety of poker titles; and for its industry-leading customer service. With such a prominent name in the online gambling world, it’s simply no surprise that the site (located at www.fulltiltpoker.com) gets incredible traffic.

At least one group of people can’t stand the traffic that the Full Tilt online casino generates, though – and surprisingly, it isn’t one of the online gambling hub’s many competitors. Full Tilt Solutions, a “product information management company” based in New Jersey which owns and does business from the web address http://www.fulltilt.com, is just about fed up with misplaced hits from gambling aficionados looking for the poker site that shares its name. At first, company reps said, the amazing amount of traffic coming from fans of online casinos was “fun.” Now, however, the site is receiving more than sixty thousand visits, or “hits,” a month from confused internet casino players – and they’re eating into the much more modest site’s bandwidth to such an extent that it has been affecting business.

Rather than continue to resent the Full Tilt online casino and the online gambling fans who can’t seem to get the correct web address, Full Tilt (the management company) is putting the domain up for sale. FullTilt.com is understood to be a “high profile” domain name, and the company has enlisted the MH Kogan firm to take over its auction.
