Official FTP Relaunch Thread (OP updated October 26, 2012) - Page 104 - Poker News

So, the last E-mail i got from FTP was 12 oct, about the rakeback changes.
I have <3.5k but should I still expect that last E-mail to come through?
will I be able to check my real money balance if it goes back up tomorrow?

How hard is it to grind to? Is it like supernova or sne grind on stars?

It's actually 14.54% upto 29.54% if you include the FTPs valued at the biggest bonus. Though most people wont get that exchange rate unless the tournament tickets give max value.

FWIW I didn't get the email either. I'm ROW (Aussie) with 36+ months Ironman and 5 figure balance, and also got the "Cash Back Bonus".

the email i recieved from support (if you are too lazy to search for kirbys reply) was:
"Thank you very much for your enquiry.

At this time, we are contacting only a specific subset of our player base.

Due to volume concerns, we are optimising our resources in targeted correspondence. We will contact you in due course, with further information in regards to your account status and balance.

We hope you appreciate that we will have a lot to review, verify/authenticate and will do our best to keep our players informed once information is available.

As you know, we have now concluded our agreement with the US Department of Justice and hence commit to paying players back and relaunching the Full tilt Poker site within 90 days, by November the 6th. More information will be made available closer to the relaunch date.

Regards"

so we still have to wait i guess... would be really interesting for me to know how much i got exactly on it... also how much points and medals i got left. i am just remembering that i spend most of it for tickets in the last week before black friday.

Well you have a point

But wouldn't you still need to rake $55,000 to buy it, or does one get 4x the points during happy hours, besides on occasion in the happy hour week when you play the right games?

well lets just say you only play for 4x points (theoretical I know) and have diamond edge somehow....

you need 1,100,00 points for $5K

1.100,00 / 4 = 27500 points needed

= $2,750 rake

- 25% rakeback

= $2,062.50

So if someone could break even that way they would make $2937.50
