Many of the most well known online poker rooms sprang into existence before the poker boom and indeed contributed to the explosion of poker in the 21st Century. Full Tilt Poker is one of the first online poker rooms created in response to the newfound popularity of poker.

Full Tilt, whose name is a play on both the idea of doing something with maximum effort (”going at it full tilt”) and the concept of tilt in poker, which means to lose emotional control and play badly as a result, was founded in 2004. The concept was a players’ poker site, created by players for players, and the initial founders included such poker celebrities as Howard Lederer, Phil Ivey, Mike Matusow and Jennifer Harman.
