Full Tilt Poker Down Again: Second Time in Two Weeks

Full Tilt Poker
Aug 12 2008 - 2:46pm

Online poker players were freaking out on Tuesday as the world's second largest poker room went down for a second time this month, this time for just over 2 hours during the peak afternoon time.

"Sorry We Are Experiencing Technical Difficulties" the website read.

There is an industry wide fear that Full Tilt Poker has gotten too big to support its own existence, something the online sports betting community is quite aware of having experience website collapses of Biblical proportions during the years 1999 through 2001. Traditionally the busiest betting days of the year - the start of College football and the NFL - sites would routinely crash with double the number of past year customers trying to access at the same exact time.

While Full Tilt's problems are not known - They typically do not provide information to industry media sites - the situation seems similar as that online poker rooms has enjoyed greater growth than any others in recent months.

Full Tilt Poker went down shortly after 1 pm Eastern Time Tuesday and was up at 3:15 pm. A peak of 12,000 real cash players was recorded over the last 24 hours.
