Full Tilt Poker on OPR
July 03, 2009
To solve the dispute with Full Tilt Poker (see below) we have accepted not to display Full Tilt Poker tournaments with less than 30 players.
Full Tilt Poker has decided that displaying statistics based on these tournaments gives our users an unfair advantage.
In addition we have agreed that our users will have to accept a "Fair use policy" before they can access ROI, Profit and ABI on Official Poker Rankings.
We are glad that we again are able to display the most important Full Tilt Poker tournaments and statistics and we hope you still will find Official Poker Rankings a useful service.
Thanks to all of you who took time to forward your opinion to us and directly to Full Tilt Poker.
Your help has undoubtedly been instrumental in highlighting the importance of Official Poker Rankings to Full Tilt Poker.

We are currently communicating with FTP to find a solution. We expect that we will be able to reinstate FTP within a few days. Thank you for your continued support.

Full Tilt Poker (FTP) has demanded us to remove all FTP tournaments and player statistics from Official Poker Rankings (OPR) because they suddenly decided that OPR "gives players an unfair advantage"
and works "very similar to how a shared hand history database works".
We don't believe OPR gives players an unfair advantage. OPR is a free site available to all players and in our opinion any player should be allowed to use OPR
to follow their progress, for staking, collusion detection, community discussions, competitions and to see how they are doing in comparison to other poker players.
All the data we collect is publicly viewable at the end of each tournament in the tournament lobby.
We do not collect hand histories nor do we provide access to any hand history information. OPR has nothing to do with a shared hand history database.
We have proposed Full Tilt Poker different solutions to keep FTP tournaments on OPR and we hope they will reverse their decision and help us clear this misunderstanding soon.
But for now we have decided to follow their demands to remove all FTP tournaments on OPR.
Your opinion matters.
We strongly encourage you to forward your opinion about this directly to Full Tilt Poker.
We would also like to hear your comments and feedback. Please forward to ftpinfo@officialpokerrankings.com
We apologize for the inconvenience.
