FTP bonus

MAYHEM45 · #1 02-01-08, 04:02 PM

75 bucks, no deposit. Cool.

Mr Eaton · #2 02-01-08, 04:51 PM

75 also, wished I had seen it this moring instead of checking after I played for a few hours.

Kurn · #3 02-01-08, 04:56 PM

yeah, I saw it this morning. I managed to get in 500 hands of low limit LHE this afternoon to get started.

I'm not familiar with how they award FT points. Is it like 'Stars FPPs?

If so, cash games pile up the points faster than SNGs. Anybody know for sure?

MAYHEM45 · #4 02-01-08, 05:01 PM

1 point per dollar of rake. 7 points per 1 of tourney fee. .06c per point.

Kurn · #5 02-01-08, 05:09 PM

Pretty similar to 'Stars, then. cash games > tourneys

Cleared.

How did you find out about this, mayhem? Did you get a nemail or spot it in an add on their site or did you just happen to check your bonus offers.

I would never know about these things if it weren't for you guys.

Talking Poker · #7 02-01-08, 06:15 PM

I disagree. I mean, maybe cash games clear faster than MTTs, but no way are they faster than same buy in SNGs (especially HU). I cleared this today in like an hour.

Should we wait to get this bonus until after the rakeback of does it matter?

Talking Poker · #9 02-01-08, 07:58 PM

Doesn't matter. It will come off of next month's (February's) payments. And while it will lower your gross rake by $75, that will really only cost you $20.25 of rakeback when all is said and done, so you'll still be about $55 to the good.

melioris · #10 02-01-08, 08:44 PM

$75.

Unlike other FT boni I didn't get an email notifying me of that I was eligible for this bonus; I only realized after I checked the "check my bonus offers" option after reading this thread, so thanks Mayhem.

Yeah, after a few drinkies, I like the run-on sentences, you got a problem with it?

Robbr25 · #11 02-01-08, 11:08 PM

I got an email that it is there and I have till Monday 23:59 to accept then 10 days to clear

MAYHEM45 · #12 02-01-08, 11:15 PM

I read something on 2p2 about it, figured id pass it along as i didnt get an email either.

Nikita · #13 02-01-08, 11:19 PM

I've got the bonus, which is really funny. I've played there once (for the TP league game) in the last 6 months, yet Rob who has been playing there exclusively the last month and a half got nada.

Talking Poker · #14 02-02-08, 12:28 AM

That's funny, but kind of what I'd expect... You would think they'd give it to inactive players to tempt them to play and not to regulars who will likely be playing anyway.

I just appreciate FT making it a nice even $75 for me, bringing the total amount of bonus money they have paid me in the last 24 or so hours an even $1000. Mmmmmmmmmmm.

New Guy · #15 02-02-08, 11:41 AM

My old account thatI dont play anymore got an e-mail with a 100$ promo from tilt!

hc422709 · #16 02-02-08, 02:25 PM

ugh, so this isn't offered to everyone?

I didn't get it...

Invigilator · #17 02-03-08, 01:49 PM

I need to check my email more often. WOOT!

VeryMoonFunk · #18 02-03-08, 03:24 PM

yea i got this today too, but with only $6 on my account, I'll be lucky to clear $7.50 probably.

still worth trying to get as much as possible though i guess.

Invigilator · #19 02-03-08, 03:46 PM

I hear you. I have been focussing on my big field torunament game lately. Not sure I'll be able to play enough 25 max to release more that $15 in time.

Still, free money...
