Full Tilt was no longer operating in the US as the DOJ had seized the domain in relation to illegal gambling. During the investigation, it was also uncovered that the poker site was potentially operating a Ponzi scheme business model.

In just a few days, the Full Tilt Poker brand will officially become extinct. According to an announcement by PokerStars, the company will officially close both desktop and mobile applications for the poker site on Feb. 25 and all account information and balances will be moved to the corresponding PokerStars account.
