PokerStars to Develop its Own Version of Full Tilt Poker’s Rush Poker

The big news this week comes to us from PokerStars, the world’s largest online poker room, as it has announced intentions to develop a product similar to the uber popular and now defunct Rush Poker. Full Tilt Poker developed Rush Poker as “the ultimate high speed poker game”.

Full Tilt Poker was shut down on June 29 after its licensing arm, the Alderney Gaming Control Commission, pulled the plug on the site for failure to pay out customers. FTP co-founders were charged on April 15 in the United States with money laundering and bank fraud. The Rush Poker site was also seized by US authorities.

PokerStars founder were also charged as part of the same indictment, however, Stars has continued to thrive after paying all its customers and exiting the US market.

PokerStars released the following statement this past weekend:

"Pokerstars is developing a fast moving ring games product. We expect it to be available for public beta testing in a few months."

when rush comming on PS they r beat all online rooms

Should be fun I liked Rush on FT so I will give it a try just cant play for $$ because I am US

thanks for the news il take a look thanks zab

figures pokerstars would jump on a chance to make money after so many people lost theirs. I hope they go out of business as well

Damn lots of news today....

Not surprised they decided to reverse engineer this popular feature. SOP for software giants.

Oh yeah!!

Since the licensed is suspended for FTP it would be legal for Pokerstars to get Rush Poker, I still haven't lose my hope on FTP thought.
But I don't think FTP will the be same when is reopen again.

I can't wait for Rush games on Pokerstars, Fab will love this.

PS will just be fine without US.

I loved Rush when it was on FT!! PS please come back to the US market! PLEASE (I say this knowing it never will =()

This is something that people were waiting for since FTP shut down

I feel like the kid sitting on the bench while the rest of the team gets to play, I miss Stars!!

I never cared much for rush poker, I won at most of the tables, but not at that one.

Interesting news indeed. I wondered why nobody in the market already did this.

When they know that Full Tilt Poker are screwed they take the chance of making this. Hehe ^_^

They are doing just fine without US.

Would be interesting to see, I guess it would be a success

That's great news for pokerstars player's another exciting tournament that's been added

Rush poker is BS if it were a factor it would be played live
