Full Tilt Poker Partnership In Online Poker Deal


Well the strong rumor about Full Tilt Poker in talks with Stations Casinos panned out to be true. Yesterday, March 30 2011 Fertitta Interactive and Full Tilt Poker agreed on a partnership to operate an Online Poker site if/when there is federal approval. Fertitta Interactive is co-owned by the Fertitta brothers Frank Fertitta III and Lorenzo Fertitta (co owners of Station Casinos and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)). The UFC is also a sponsor and provides huge prizes in The Make Poker Legal Online Poker Room. Tom Breitling and Tim Poster (founders of Travelscape which was eventually sold to Expedia.com) are also part of the partnership. Breitling has said that the partnership will only back on legislation on a federal level and not Assembly Bill 258.
