The software is proprietary and was created by none other than Chris Jesus Ferguson who is an owner along with his team of developers. Because of this they have made sure that the room carries every feature you could ask for including those for the advanced layer. Every detail has been taken into account when designing the layout, graphics and navigation. The lobby features a detailed and easy to use lobby filter which will allow you to quickly filter out unnecessary games. All the statistics you need are available in the lobby and the tables and if you need more details you can export your hand histories onto your hard drive.
FullTiltPoker.net does allow the use of Poker Tracker software if you still require more detailed
statistics. While playing at the tables you will have access to a last hand button. This gives you the ability to see the last hand in instant replay. One of the nice features is the chat window which can be separated from the client.
FullTilt.net is one of the few sites that is suited for multi table play and features easy to use custom options that allow you to decide if you want to resize the windows, tile them or play in full view mode. Recently they added another option which lets you ask your opponent if they want a rematch. This is a great little feature when
you're playing heads up. Overall the quality of the program along with consistent speed is well above par.
Support at www.FullTilt.net is only available through email and because of the size of the room and the amount of players online there may be a delay in response time.
