Just got this email this morning had a quick look couldn't find a thread?

Looks interesting:

Hi ,

After reviewing our records, we've noticed that you previously have emailed our customer support team requesting rakeback.

We are unable to offer you rakeback as you were referred to Full Tilt Poker from an affiliate that does not offer rakeback. We're unable to switch your account from this affiliate to another, as our agreement with affiliates prohibits this.

However, you've been selected to receive a special Full Tilt Poker bonus: we're offering you $10,000 - a bonus equivalent to an average of 27% rakeback. This trial bonus is only available to a select group of players and you have until 23:59 ET on December 31st to accept this offer.

To accept your bonus, log in to Full Tilt Poker before the offer expires and go to Requests. Select Check My Bonus Offers and click on Accept.

You then have 360 days to clear your bonus amount. For every Full Tilt Point you earn, $0.04 of your bonus amount will clear. Each $20.00 you clear will be moved from your bonus account to your real money account. Check your status at any time by clicking the 'Bonus Account' button in the Cashier.

We may contact you in the future via email to request your feedback on this offer. If you have any further questions, please contact support@fulltiltpoker.com.

Sincerely,
Full Tilt Poker

So basically equivalent of rakeback? How many others have this, is good to see fulltilt finally offering something like this.

Thank you full tilt!

ugh I did search you can delete this =(

No, I think we might as well keep this one open now as the title is better and it's in the right forum. Here's the pertinent post from that thread, which I've now locked.

I just got this an hour ago myself, I had emailed Full Tilt about rakeback 18 months ago.

wow..

This may be the one thing that keeps my action at Full Tilt from switching to stars in January...too bad I didn't get an email..

OK, although there's a spelling error in my title, if you feel like fixing it.

I emailed fulltilt + rakebackpros about 2 years ago for this and didn't take them up on the latest bonus offers, had pretty much given up hope. Wonder what criteria they are giving it out on this time.

Fixed. I also posted a thread in the Zoo linking people here, because I think it's pretty big news. Congrats to you guys that got it, and kudos to FT for finally coming up with a solution.

I'm convinced now. Full Tilt is an intelligent life form.

I would rather have this 10,000 bonus than 27% rakeback.
Is there anyway to swap?

whats the difference and the answer would likely be "no you are not eligible for the $10k bonus as you are linked to a rakeback affiliate, you have been put on the waiting list and will be contacted in 24 years from now" oh fulltilt I can't say anything bad about you now, least someone there has their head on straight.

OMFG wow i havent gotten a email yet.but i have been emailing them once a week asking for rakeback so i really hope i get selected.if not this will be the end of my playing on ftp.

I'm thinking no deductions.

Hmmm I didnt get an email/bonus offer for this but have complained to ftp several times in the last 2-3 years for rakeback, but can't signed i signed with random affiiliate 3~ years ago.

How do I get this?
