** Official thread for discussion of RB for existing FT accounts and RakebackPros

[SmokeyRidesAgain]

Wow, **** you very much Full Tilt. I open an account a few months ago and you retroactively decide it will no longer get rakeback because I took too long to deposit. Yet you are giving away rakeback to existing members. Very nice. I can't wait to send you an angry email as soon as my cashout hits my bank account in a couple months time.

**** you Howard. **** you Jesus. Your site is balls.

I thought they changed this policy a few months ago, but I could be wrong. This is the thread I am remembering: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...d.php?t=131069.

So, I was one of the tards who fell for the "List me as your affiliate in order to get the $600 deposit bonus from FTP!" FTP was my very first online poker account and I didn't know the first thing about deposit bonuses, so I honestly did think that this was the way you got a deposit bonus.

Anyway, I just sent rakebackpros an e-mail asking to be added to the list for rakeback. They wrote me back the following:

I have checked with Full Tilt Poker and it appears that you are attached to another
affiliate therefore you will not receive rakeback from us. I have been told that Full
Tilt Poker is going to start a new program for players like yourself that is similar to
rakeback with even more benefits. I have added your name to the list of players to send
them for this program. You will hopefully hear something from them in the next month or
two.

I'm a bit skeptical. I mean, I'm tagged with another affiliate but I can expect a better deal than the people who aren't in just a month or two? But who knows, I'll just have to wait and see what happens.

I got the same mail and I reacted the same. Is this another joke or what? Can anybody elaborate on that?

FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GETTING THIS EMAIL, WERE YOU ALREADY SIGNED UP THROUGH ANOTHER AFFILIATE?

[sneaks619]

I got mine about 2 months ago after emailing rakeback and full tilt to give it to me for about 6 months straight. Based on my averages over the first 2 months i can pretty much pay my mortgage just off the rakeback!!!! Whooooo Hooooooooo!!!!!!!!

I have just been told I will not be getting rakeback because I am already tagged to another affiliate that does not provide rakeback. I had no idea I was already tagged.

So I ask them who this is. They won't tell me.

So some unknown party is making money off me (or did). Or who knows maybe they don't exist anymore. Or maybe they provide some other benefit to which I am already entitled. But I have no way of finding out because these GREEDY customer backstabbing jerks at Full Tilt won't tell me who they are.

I don't care what their "agreement" with their affiliates says. They created this moronic system which results in the guy sitting next to me at the table having a higher EV just because he clicked the right link to join the site. They can fix it. As long as they don't they are not worthy of my participation.

Poker Stars' EV just went up.

You may have been connected to an affiliate and never have known it. Sometimes just visiting a website puts a cookie on your computer that ends up assigning you to that site as an affiliate when you create your poker account. I know that I did not willingly open up my FTP account through any affiliate yet I got the same BS email that I am already connected to an affiliate and therefore can't get rakeback. I asked them who my affiliate is and they actually told me. It's some person/website that I've never heard of before and I sure as hell didn't knowingly sign up for anything through them.

What this is is account hijacking by lowlife affiliates. It's bad enough that they profited in some way from us when we opened our FTP accounts (and we got absolutely nothing out of it), but what really stinks is that this totally unethical behavior prevents us from benefiting from rakeback.

I really find it hard to believe that a cookie set in your web browser had an effect on which affiliate you were associated. FTP doesn't know about browser cookies. You must have entered a code when you signed up that connected you to your affiliate.
