Full Tilt beta launches Rush Poker for iOS
Product is operator's first mobile offering since being acquired by Rational Group last year.
Full Tilt Poker has beta launched its first mobile app since being acquired by Rational Group in July last year.
The app is currently available on Apple’s iOS operating system only, and features the Isle of Man and Malta licensee’s fast-fold offering Rush. Tournament play is not available, however ring game stakes range from $0.02/0.05 to $2/4 across No Limit Hold’em, Fixed Limit Hold’em, Pot Limit Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo.
Under its previous ownership, Full Tilt was the first egaming operator to launch a real-money mobile poker app when its Rush Poker Android app went live in 2010 , while a non-download iOS version was released in June 2011, just weeks before the operator saw its Alderney operating licences suspended.
However PokerStars parent company Rational Group opted not to go live with a mobile client upon relaunching Full Tilt for real money last November. PokerStars’ own mobile app has been launched in the iTunes App Store in a number of dot.com and dot.country markets including Italy and the UK.
Full Tilt’s beta launch comes as the operator continues the search for a new CEO, while the operator has also introduced its first affiliate programme since relaunch.
The operator was awarded an Isle of Man operating licence ahead of its real-money launch in November, before securing a licence from the Maltese Lotteries and Gaming Authority this year. However it is yet to move into any dot.country markets, with Rational Group allowing Full Tilt account holders to pair their accounts with PokerStars accounts in the regulated jurisdictions of Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, France, Italy and Spain.
