Lobby Software Upgrade Released by Full Tilt Poker

Full Tilt Poker, host of a worldwide online poker cardroom service, has finally released a new lobby software upgrade which was available to poker players for download this morning.

This new software upgrade which comes in a full package has several new features such as a fresh design for its lobby, new security pin system and an exciting big bonus offer for which the players had been requesting.

Login Screen is the first thing to notice in this new software. Compared to its previous design, its size is much larger. Its color scheme also becomes gray to better complement the look of the site.

Full Tilt Poker also provides with a new security Pin system so that their regular players will be given with a greater security because this system doesn't only require the login and password but also a 3-card pin combination. This security pin is randomly generated by the poker room and sent to users for verification before they can login. This improvement will make hacking of accounts almost impossible.
