looks like FT just allowed players who weren't under any affiliate, to receive rakeback........chances are......if you were referred by an affiliate who doesn't offer rakeback......you wont be getting an email.......

fwiw....i don't think its a scame

This doesn't really make sense to me.

A.) FTP has been staunchly opposed to giving existing players a way to get rakeback and B.) What's so special about rakebackpros.com? Why do they get to sign up existing players and not the other countless FTP rb affiliates?

But, then again, it would be really dumb of rakebackpros.com to send out this email without concent of FTP affiliate department. Someone have a vendetta against them, trying to get them in trouble?

didnt ftpdoug say at one point that getting exisiting accounts rakeback was in the works... and that a list was being compiled or something?

This has to be a scam. The rakebackpros site is just using this to generate interest in their new rakeback site.

Its a scam, it tells you to create a NEW ACCOUNT, and then will credit your acct each month if over $5 if not will be "written off"

create a new account for who? i did not have to create a new FT account. i have received rakeback for 2 months already on rakebackpros and not these forums floating around have me worried that i registered onto some scam sight.

Well, since the people forwarded the mail to FTP one of two things should happen:
A) It's a scam and rakebackpros will lose their affiliate license and all of their profits.

B) It's for real and they'll be the richest affiliate around very shortly.

And if it's (B) FTP should really explain why they can do it and nobody else can.

I'm going to keep watching to see the outcome of this one it should be fun

It is too a scam, I contacted them and you HAVE to create a new acct, as well their own site tells you while filling out the form to create a new acct and use their affiliate code in the new account setup.

I signed up my existing account with rakebackpros after getting the email today. I contacted their support and they said I didn't need to re-download the software or create a new account or anything -- that I was all set and my stats should be updating tomorrow.

I really doubt it's a scam, seems like they've got an arrangement with FT. I have in the past contacted FT to see if there was any way I could get rakeback and they said they had something in the works.

very suspect imo.

Seems to me if FT was allowing this, FTP Doug would be starting a new answers thread to announce it, considering hes been badgered about this subject repeatedly in those threads.

i also signed up my existing FT account. and like i said, i've received 2 months of rake back already with no problems.

wouldn't you think FTP Doug would start a thread about this regardless of whether rakebackpros was legit or not? him not commenting at this point probably means he has not had the time to do it or is unaware of these discussions.

This is a SCAM. Full Tilt would not tell you which affiliate to sign up with. Somebody PM FTPDoug and have the affiliate banned.

I emailed support at rakebackpros.com also and this is what I got back from them...


"Full Tilt Poker is trying to accommodate players who are unable to get
rakeback on Full TIlt Poker. Currently they are testing a small amount
of players with us, and hopefully we will be able to handle more in the
coming months. We just were able to move a batch of players that they
sent emails to. If you were not on that list, i will keep your player
ID and request you be put on the next list.

Regards,

If this is true the bolded area (I bolded it) might explain why 1) FTPDoug hasnt commented on the issue and 2) Why they are only allowing this one affiliate at this time.

hey chicken little - are you not capable of sending a PM?
