Software 7/10
The software is simple to use, I suggest doing the guided tour prior to finding your favourite game though as fulltilt has a lot to offer. The graphics are not the best available online, but if your computer and internet speed isn't the fastest it will suit your needs. Avatars are available in a number of different cartoon characters; the choice is yours, panda, zombie, army girl or a dog as examples. Customer avatars are available in the fulltilt poker store but are expensive. They are also available to the fulltilt professional players and major tourney winners. A simple click on you character (avatar) and your facial expressions can be changed according to your feelings, angry, happy etc.
Different backgrounds are available so you can play on your desired table. The tables offer a multitude of features, some of the best in the game! This includes hand history, current tournament standings and instant click to take you to the tournament lobby. In a ring game, chips are available by the click of a button.
3 different lobby's are available to choose from. The most recent lobby is not as stable as the older available ones. Overall however the software is reliable and stable.
Payouts 8/10
Payouts are easy, very non complicated with fulltilt poker. They are handled fast and professionally. Checks are usually received usually within 7 days for US customers, a little longer for other countries. Other withdrawal methods (dependable on country) include:

Each withdrawal method allows a minimum of $50 and the maximum varies up to the sum of $10,000 for the local bank transfer method. Some methods are almost instant; pending approval and others take 3-5 working days.
Customer Service 5/10
Full Tilt is fairly prompt with their customer service. The only method of service however is email, where other sites offer live chat and phone support.
