Europeans: Play at FullTiltPoker.fr! | Online Poker Bonus

Playing at Fulltiltpoker.fr (the French site of Full Tilt) is possible for all Europeans because of EU regulation. That’s great news for all poker players who are looking for that edge and make more money! The advantages are two-fold. First and most important is that you get to play against the French Full Tilt Poker players who are only allowed to play at regulated .fr poker sites. The French are well-known in the poker world as the worst players in the world, so that alone should be reason enough to create your Fulltiltpoker.fr account. The second reason is that players who already have a Full Tilt account, can create a new .fr account next to their .com account, so they receive a sign-up bonus again.

The above led us to write a detailed guide on how to play at Fulltiltpoker.fr. It’s all pretty easy and straightforward, so if you don’t need the guide, download the fulltiltpoker.fr software right away. Use bonus code: ‘MPCFRANCE’ to receive a sign-up bonus of 200% up to €1.000! The bonus is released in steps of €20 for every 571 Full Tilt Points. Let’s go to the step-by-step guide for playing on the French Full Tilt site:

1. Download the software

Go to fulltiltpoker.fr. Click on the red ‘Jouez Ici’ on the right of the screen.

2. Choose your language

If you choose ‘English’, the rest of the installation procedure will be in English. Moreover, your hand histories will also be saved in English which makes it possible to use poker tracking software like Holdem Manager and Pokertracker.

3. Accept the Terms & Conditions

The Terms & Conditions are not yet translated in English so if you really want to read them, use Google Translate or else just click accept.

4. Install the software

Choose the location on your hard disk where you would like to install the French Full Tilt software, and click ‘Install’. Be aware that the .fr software is completely different than the .com software, so you need to set all your preferences again.

5. Start the software

A small hurdle is that the French and the international client can not run at the same time on the same computer. Even worse, when you install the .fr version, the .com client will be erased from your hard drive. This is not a problem, because you can easily go to fulltiltpoker.co.uk to download the .com software again. When the program is installed, start up the software by ticking the box before ‘Launch Full Tilt Poker.Fr’ and click ‘Finish’.

6. Create a new account

When you start up the software for the first time, you won’t see the Full Tilt Lobby first, but a special welcome screen. Click on the ‘Create New Account’ button (you can’t miss it). If you already have a .com account, you can’t use the same email adress again. To open a .fr account, you need a second email adress in that case.

7. Choose to create a new Full Tilt account

This step is important. In the screen you will see now (see below) you have two options: “Create a new Full Tilt Poker.fr account” and “Create a new Full Tilt Poker.fr account using the same information as your previous Full Tilt Poker account”. The word ‘previous’ in the second option tips it off, if you choose this option there is a big chance that Full Tilt converts your current .com account to a .fr account and closes your .com account. This is not what we want so choose for the first option “Create a new Full Tilt Poker.fr account” for a totally new account that can exist next to your .com account.

8. Make up a Player ID

In the next screen we need to make up a Player ID and choose a password. To get the French on monkey tilt before you even played a hand, choose something that offends their beloved country (this works ). You also have the option in this screen to put a referral code. Put ‘MPCFRANCE’ to be entitled to play in special freerolls and added tournaments which we organize for our players on Fulltiltpoker.fr.

9. Register your account

In the next screen, check your info and fill out your date of birth. Also fill out the CAPTCHA and tick the second box which says that you agree to the Terms and Conditions. The first box you can leave unticked, if you don’t want to receive spam mails.

10. Congratulations, you now own a Fulltiltpoker.fr Play Money account

Of course, we want to play for real money so just click ‘OK’.

11. Validate your email adress

In the meantime, you have received a validation code from . On the screen below you can fill out the code in the email to validate your account. You can now play poker at the play money tables.

12. Choose for extra security

Now you see the following screen:

If you would like extra security for your online poker money, you can request an extra login with PIN or security key. This can be done at anytime by going to Menu > Security > Additional Security Settings.

13. Register a real money Full Tilt Poker France account

In the next screen you begin the process of opening a real money account by filling out your personal info. Pay attention that the info you provide the same name and adress as on your bank statements.

14. Do you have an EU bank account?

In the next screen you will see that Full Tilt France accepts players from all over the world, but they need a bank account in the European Union. We assume this is the case for you, so click on ‘OK’. Important: Because you can’t use E-wallets like Neteller or Moneybookers you can only cash out to regular bank accounts!

15. Fill out your bank account info

Now you fill out your bank account info. FInd the IBAN and BIC/Swift codes on one of your statements or just Google it (shouldn’t be hard to find). Click on the question mark if you don’t know what to fill out exactly. Needless to say, the info needs to be correct.

16. Choose your deposit limits

On Fulltiltpoker.fr you need to choose your deposit limits as a legal requirement. Choose whatever limits you like. If you want to 16-table, be sure to don’t set the limits too low. Of course, you can put the limits on maximum. Adjusting your deposit limits at a later time is possible.

17. You now own a ‘Provisional Real Money Account’

You are almost there now with the second ‘Congratulations Screen’. With a Provisional Real Money Account you can already play and deposit, only you can’t cash out your profits yet. You have 30 days time to send in the required documents before your account gets closed.

18. Send in your documents

On the next screen (see below) you will read precise instructions on what to do. Send in a scan of your Passport / Drivers License / Idendity Card plus a recent bank statement to . If you would like to reload this screen sometime later, go to Account > Activate My Account. The approval of your documents happens manually by a Full Tilt employee, so it can take a while before you receive a confirmation. Meanwhile, we go on with the next step.

19. Make your first deposit

In the lobby, click on ‘Cashier’ and choose ‘Make a Deposit’. In the next screen you will see the deposit options. Choose your deposit method. Although you can’t cash out to Moneybookers or Neteller, you can deposit with them. Be aware that only with your first deposit you get the 200% bonus up to €1.000, so it is adviced to deposit at least €500 if you have that amount available.

20. It’s play time!

Depositing money can also take some time, because Full Tilt employees need to verify this manually as well. It can take up to a few hours, so don’t wait to deposit just before you want to play a tournament. When the money is on your account, you will see a pop-up with the good news.

21. Your documents have been approved

When your documents are approved, you will see a pop-up screen in the software as well. On that moment, the adress verification code is sent to your home adress (in a discrete envelope) which will take around 7 days.

22. Activate your account

When you received your envelope from France, you can finalize things. In the letter you will find a 10-digit activation code, which you can use to verify your home adress. Go to ‘Menu’ and click ‘Activate Account’ and fill out the code in a screen that looks like this:

23. Your account is now activated completely

You are now finally done after you see this screen pop up:

Like the screen says, you can now deposit, play and cash out on the Full Tilt Poker France site. We wish you good luck at the tables and be prepared to a lot of bad beats, because we assume you will get your money in good most of the times..
