Default Full Tilt Promos...

In last month's goals thread, I mentioned how I wanted to set up a Rake Back account at Full Tilt and start really getting some hands in. I wanted to play enough to earn 10k points and qualify for their Australia 7 Seat Freeroll.

Well, I'm happy to report success! I played enough in September to qualify for this Saturday's $20,000 Iron Man Gold freeroll ($3000 for first - 507 entries), and you'll notice my name is already on the list for the 10/21 Aussie Millions 7-Seat Freeroll (qualification for that ends on 10/14). Right now, there are a mere 20 of us entered - Chris Ferguson included - but I expect that number to increase significantly. When you click on Satellites for that tourney, it only shows two, but each one is giving away 9 seats. Add in however many more people will earn the 10k points, and it's going to be a much larger field. How much larger, I don't know... I'd love it if it stayed below 100 entries, but that's probably not gonna happen.

Anyway, that's that. Here's hoping I can score an Australia seat ($18,000 value)!

GG Full Tilt.

Speaking of Full Tilt promos, they have a ($500 max) going on right now.

Note that you only qualify if you don't currently have any bonuses pending. Good thing I finished clearing my $600 initial deposit bonus last night.

The offer is good through 10/20, so I think if you clear your initial bonus by then (for those who haven't yet), you can get this one too.

The link above explains in detail, but basically Full Tilt bonuses work like this: For every $1 raked in a given hand, every player dealt into the hand receives on point (partial dollars count). Points are worth 6 cents each towards your bonus, and bonuses are released in $20 increments (or 10% of your bonus - whichever is less).

So, if you are playing at a table with 5 players and $1 is raked (20 cents each), you are effectively getting 30% of your rake back... And this is on top of the 27% rakeback .

Again, I say GG Full Tilt. It's nice to see one poker site stepping up for U.S. players while so many others are cowering in the corner.

Damn after a week I still have 500 left to clear. I don't see that happening before the 20th. You should have gotten the rakeback started sooner.

Yes, I know. When I initially signed up to be an affiliate of theirs, most of the players here were looking for flat payouts for signing up places, so I went with their per signup plan. This worked for a while, but the big players want rakeback, of course. Their policy is to NOT let affiliates change their mind and switch to the other program, but after numerous emails, I was able to talk them into it, effective last month.

If and only if you signed up under me, shoot me a PM and I'll see what I can do. I highly doubt they will let me switch you over, but maybe if I tell them to take the money back that I was paid, I could work something out. I'm going to email them right now and tell them that I know some players who aren't playing there much, if at all, because they aren't getting rake back, but if they were able to, they would start playing more. I'm sure this will only work for those of you who signed up through my links (if it works at all), but it's worth a shot. I'll get back to you guys (probably in the FT rakeback thread) if I can work something out.

Besides giving you a cut of the rake, do they pay you hourly for such vigorous site promotion?

If so, GG Full Tilt.
