Full Tilt Poker was an online poker room that launched in 2004, quickly becoming popular among players for its innovative software and variety of games. It offered cash games, tournaments, and unique features like the ability to play multiple tables simultaneously. In 2011, Full Tilt Poker faced legal issues when the U.S. Department of Justice shut it down, accusing the site of operating illegally. After a lengthy legal battle, the site was eventually sold and resumed operations in 2012 under new management, but it never regained its former prominence in the online poker community.
