The new Full Tilt Poker has relaunched its slightly revamped website and is officially open for play-money play - a week ahead of its scheduled real-money relaunch.
Players outside of the United States can now log-in to check balances, player points and dabble in the play-money games as well as change their password.
Deposits and withdrawals are still unavailable until Nov. 6, as are player-to-player transfers.
US players are also still unable to access their accounts and will be until at least that date.
A note in the client informs US players to access FullTiltPoker.net at that point, although they will still be unable to withdraw funds until a process has been established with the US Department of Justice.
Players in regulated markets such as France and Spain can log-in and use the play-money tables but real-money play will not be available until a proper license has been arranged in each country.
UPDATE: Players in regulated markets (except for Italy) can now access and withdraw balances via the account-pairing function with their PokerStars accounts. See FullTiltPoker.com for details.
