27% RakeBack at Full Tilt...

Talking Poker · #1 11-15-06, 09:01 PM

ended up getting pretty messy, with Full Tilt's affiliate department going back and forth about if existing players would be eligible for rakeback or not (they no longer are), so I'm killing that thread and starting this new one.

Here is a summary of the good stuff, with up to date information:

-----
The maximum rakeback allows affiliates to give is 27%, which is exactly what I will be giving you.

If you don't already have a Full Tilt account:

1. Use to download Full Tilt Poker and create a new account.

2. Once you have set up your new account, PM me with your Full Tilt Player ID. I'll confirm that you are being tracked to me, and that's all there is to it!

Then all you need to do is play (the more the better!), and I will transfer 27% of the rake you generate* back into your player account after Full Tilt pays me. This is usually done on or around the 15th of the following month. Please note that you need to earn at least $5 of rake back in a given month, as $5 is the minimum amount Full Tilt will allow me to transfer to you.

*Please note that things like "Player Fees" (for deposits and withdraws, I assume), "Bonuses Earned," and even "Used Points" are deducted from your TOTAL rake generated, before the 27% is calculated. I am not 100% certain on this, but it appears that Full Tilt values player points at 200 points per $1, so if you were to spend 3600 points on a flexfit cap, for example, your gross rake would drop $18, which would cause the rakeback you receive from to decrease $4.86.

Payments for October's play have been completed (transferred directly into your Full Tilt accounts). If anyone has a question about the amount of money I transferred them, shoot me a PM and I'll send you the breakdown. By now, you guys know that you can trust me, so hopefully I won't get tons of requests, but I don't mind breaking it down for you, especially for this first month.

Thanks.

how long is this rakeback thing gonna last? is this like somethin that u'll only offer for like a month, and whoever gets it gets it, or its gonna be here for a while?

Talking Poker · #6 11-16-06, 02:41 AM

Why would I only offer this for a month?

As far as I'm concerned, this is forever, but obviously there are a lot of things out of my control, like Full Tilt staying open for business for starters. But no, this is not a "temporary" deal.

The sticky is closed so I cant post there.

I am signing up tonight so I can rail your cash game later on. I will be depositing soon, as I just got my checks from Stars and Bodog, and will wait until I am 100% sure they have cleared the bank.

1. Anyway, TP, do I need to put a bonus code in the bonus code box when creating an account (to be able to get 100% bonus)? I dont think I do, but want to make sure. I used your link (obv.) so I should be linked to you when I finish. I will PM you details.
2. Also, I think my debit card may work for depositing (I remember Kurn saying his worked). I have a bank of america debit card (a huge bank), so i dont know if that if will work for or against me. Anyone deposit using a debit card lately?
3. How long is the bonus gonna take me to clear at like .50/1 & 1/2 LHE?
I am thinking its gonna be a bear to get this done. Does the bonus expire? I sure as hell hope not.

Thanks

I'll be watching the shark tank tonight.

I'll merge this thread with that one in a sec. Last month's payments should be going out tomorrow - just waiting on one last report to roll in.

As for your questions:

1. You shouldn't NEED to put in a bonus code, but if you put in TPF you'll definitely be good to go.

2. I have no input for #2.

3. I think it will go faster than you think. It clears in chunks, which is nice - you don't HAVE to clear the whole thing. I believe there is a time limit, but I'm not sure how long it is. I think it's at least 90 days... I also think it will clear much faster than you think, even at those limits. Well..... I guess it depends on how much the average rake is at those limits. Let us know after you've played for a few days.

When does one "month" start and end? is it the usual 1st-30/31st but it takes a week for them to send you the monies? and thus you deliver on the 7th/9th/whatever.

Talking Poker · #15 12-19-07, 03:19 PM

Months always start on the 1st and end on either the 31st, 30th, occasionally the 28th, and very rarely the 29th. Please consult a calendar for details.

And yeah, it takes them about a week to pay me and get me the detailed rake reports - this adds at least 1-2 days EVERY month, since they have yet to actually send me the reports as an attachment on the email that says "Here is the report, blah blah blah." EVERY single month, I have to respond to the email, tell them there is no attachment, and have them resend it to me.... WITH the attachment. *sigh*

Once I have the reports, I pay you guys within 24 hours.

Talking Poker · #16 07-10-08, 01:44 AM

I made June's payments earlier today, but forgot to post.

As always, any questions or requests for a breakdown, shoot me a PM.

de-coder · #21 05-15-09, 05:42 PM

wow - I suck.

melioris · #22 05-22-09, 01:37 PM

This info has been validated on several RB sites, although I do not have confirmation yet from FTP. But it seems like ordering a withdraw from FTP via check results in a $15 player fee assessed against your monthly MGR. So it costs roughly $4.something against your RB to get a check from FTP. Rumor has it that other withdraw methods also results in a player fee, all except for echecks.

Just as a FYI. Personally, I think this is fine and getting a check is still my preferred way to move money off of FTP. I am not baller enough to do bank transfers and echecks suck as FTP stores your bank info and each echeck has a $995 cap (or so I was told).

PShabi · #23 05-22-09, 07:35 PM

Man, I need some dick.

Talking Poker · #24 09-09-09, 12:18 PM

Sorry for the delay this month, but FT only got me the monthly reports today, for whatever reason.... definitely later than usual.
