Official FTP Relaunch Thread (OP updated October 26, 2012) - Page 135 - Poker News

So is this the order I should do my bonuses in:

1. Clear Iron Man Mid Year Bonus

2. Accept the Deal Me In Bonus and clear it all.

3. Quick clear the Ring Game Ticket yielded from #2 before it expires within 7 days.

4. Do a $600 transfer from PS to FTP in order to obtain the Deposit Bonus. Clear this.

5. Use points to purchase a $5k bonus and clear this.

Any suggestions are appreciated...

You don't qualify for the first deposit bonus. Ring game tickets only expire if they remain unused for 7 days.

The only thing that makes me think:

Will the traffic be enough in the near, mid and future to clear all the bonusses in the right time??

Please tell me you are joking? It's because of muppets like you everyone is going to have to wait longer for their answers, replied emails. Do you honestly think you are helping the situation? They have just opened their doors, Shyam already said there is going to be a delay getting replies to emails, which is to be expected. Now stop being a petulant child and show some patience, everyone will get a reply.

The timliness is not the problem it's the ******ed answer that is.

I did an "Initial Deposit Bonus" on PokerStars in 2011, having played on the site for 6 years. I started on both FTP and PS with a gift certificate from a friend.

I am thinking/hoping the same will occur with FTP, but I will email support to double check. This is the quote that makes me think I will:

- Yes, as long as it is actually your first deposit. If you are going from FTP->PokerStars, you'll need to write to their support to activate your bonus. PokerStars->FTP will be automatic.

Or do they specify somewhere that you can't receive the Iron Man bonus along with a First Time Deposit Bonus?

After reading all your bonus situation my guess is this:

#1 players with no Iron Man status for June got a big DMI bonus, were told how much it is and it even appears on the 'Request/My bonus Offers' page.

#2 players with IM status for June got a clear amount of IM bonus (usually less then deserved), shown only in the email, but no clear DMI bonus.

so ppl at #1 are either casuals or high rollers who are the main target for the site and ppl at #2 are just money sucking grinders willing to take any bone they got trown, even if their IM+DMI bonus is less than DMI bonus for ppl at #1.

I got 2 emails with subject "Deal Me In Bonus - Welcome back to Full Tilt Poker" yesterday.

#1 says

Quote:

You have been awarded a $500 2011 Iron Man Mid-Year Bonus, which clears at a rate of $1 for every 25 Full Tilt Points earned. Following re-launch, you will be able to track your progress via your personal Mid-Year Bonus page in the My Promotions section of the Cashier.

Once you've unlocked the Mid-Year Bonus, we've even more to give you. If you clear your bonus in full before 23:59 ET on Thursday, November 29th, you will receive your Deal Me In Bonus offer by 23:59 ET on Friday, November 30th.

#2 says

Quote:

As soon as you log in, your Deal Me In Bonus of $500 will be waiting for you. You'll need to accept your bonus by 02/12/2012 23:59:59, and your bonus cash will be paid into your account in easily released $20.00 increments.

and I don't get anything when I do Requests -> Check bonus offers

Does that mean we can withdraw a portion of our money, then accept the deal me in bonus afterwards?

So I have just been emailed to say that I am eligible for a $500 deal me in bonus and it will be released in $20 increments.
I am wondering are these $20 increments automatically lodged into your cahier/real money a/c or do they go into a bonus a/c and accrue there?
The reason I am asking this is that I wont notice these $20 increments going in and it wont make much difference to me when I am grinding away. It would be better if was segregated and it built up over time so I could get the $500 lump sum in one go when I eventually clear the bonus.
Any thoughts?

I thought anyone depositing on the "new" Full Tilt for the first time is entitled to this 1st deposit bonus?

I have not received an email about verifying my account even(i had to send them an email and they said to send in the docs asap). I have done this and it has been over two days.

I am starting to wonder if this is a common problem with accounts they are having problems with.

I was a Black Card member who paid thousands in rake each month and I start off at the same level as anyone for the Edge rewards?

[EDIT]

Players who were Black Card members at any time during 2011 have automatically been awarded Diamond status, with a 50-day grace period beginning from Full Tilt Poker’s official relaunch date. )

Just updating my email after I forgot my passwords and moved house and closed my previous email address.

They keep sending a standard verification email after I had already sent them the docs then they say "thanks just log in and change your email" and the circle starts again and again. Then I have to explain the situation again and the standard replies start again.... very frustrating....

yes, yes. I have money in my cashier and I got the mail, but if I click requests->check my bonus offers, I have nothing (so far)

but I've been told that selfexcluded people from stars wont be able to play on ftp, which would suck.

I didnt pair my accounts yet, but I did send an email, which might be a mistake, dunno
