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

[I_Luv_Wilco]

Hi, I emailed ftp about 5 weeks ago asking if they would offer me rakeback in return for me playing full time on their site again. I explained that I play high volume and that I would only move back to ftp if I was offered rakeback, as I can get RB on a european site. They replied saying that I was been added to a list and to be patient while they got back to me.
I just noticed this thread now and I assume that most people here are in a similar position. So, how long does it take for them to actually tell you whether or not they will give you rake back? I never signed up with an affiliate when I opened my account. Am I getting my hopes up here waiting for a response?

I informed them that I used to play at ftp but moved to a european site to get rakeback. I play a pretty high volume and generate a good bit of rake, so I said I'd chance emailing them and just see what they say.
They replied to me saying that I am being considered for rakeback and to sit tight while they get back to me. They also mentioned that they are currently working on an alternative of some sort to offer players that do not have rakeback that want to play on the site. I assume this will be something like stars loyalty rewards system. Anyway, I am just wondering has anybody here been successful, or know somebody who was successful with their personal request for rakeback with ftp. Or, are they just "considering" everybody who writes to them with such a request?

Did FTP say anything about already being linked to an affiliate???

No, I am not linked with anyone as I never bothered when I first signed up.

So emailed FTP about getting rakeback through rakebackpros. I do not believe I used any affiliate when I signed up... These are the emails I got from them.

Thanks for contacting Full Tilt Poker Support.

You?ve asked about the possibility of receiving rakeback but at this
time, Full Tilt Poker does not offer rakeback directly to players.

There are a number of affiliate companies which offer rakeback if
players sign up to Full Tilt Poker through their website. However,
it appears that you were referred to Full Tilt Poker from an
affiliate which does not offer rakeback. We are unable to switch
your account from this affiliate to another, as our agreement with
affiliates prohibits this.

We understand that you are interested in such promotions in the
future and if the situation changes, our players will be the first
to know and we will contact you when we have more news.

• I then asked them to tell me what affiliate I signed up through.

Thanks for contacting us.

Currently Full Tilt does not offer rakeback, but there are a number of affiliates who offer players rakeback if you sign up to Full Tilt Poker through their site.

We constantly review our position and we offer promotions with players on an on going bases who are not already linked with an affiliate, as our agreement with affiliates prohibits this.

Now you have contacted us, we understand that you are interested in such promotions in the future. If the situation changes, our players will be the first to know and we will contact you when we have more news.

Then you will get your rake after some waiting.

If you had been affiliated, no personal request would work.

I personally now moved to another poker room due to lack of rake on FTP, but play on FTP now and then, because It's a great room. My wife have a player money account on Tilt. That is it for now.

I am not angry or whatever on FTP, they have some rules, and last letter from their support was nice. What hurts me is that I never got a bonus from the site which affiliated me to FTP, and I can't get my rake as well. It just feels very unfair.

rake != rakeback.....

[I_Luv_Wilco]

This is the reply I received today from ftp support. So, how long do you think it will take if they are going to offer me RB? I mean, as a general guide, could it be a few weeks, months, or even a year from now?

Hello xxxxx,

Thank you for your response.

We have added your username to our files for further consideration. Please note that our partnership with the affiliate Rakebackpros is in the testing phase, and a test group of players have been selected to participate.

If the partnership continues and you are selected to receive rakeback from the affiliate you will receive a confirmation email from Full Tilt Poker.

If there's anything else we can help you with, please don't hesitate to ask.

Best of luck on the tables!

Regards,

Took me about 3 months. I played daily, and still do.

Amount of play/ rake generated may influence how fast they accept you.

I really don't think it does. Because when I requested rakeback (late 2008) I hadn't played regularly on FTP since mid 2006. I continued not playing there until they gave me rakeback at the beginning of April.

Based on the various posters talking about playing a lot, playing a little, or not playing at all, I think amount of play has pretty much nothing to do with whether you get selected.

I just wanted to stop in and say I'm one of the lucky people that received rb on April 4. I sent the original email February 2.

I also received rakeback in my existing FullTilt account a few weeks ago. Took about 2 months and I was playing almost every day so I definitely think that influences who gets selected. If you request rakeback and have never made IronMan or don't play often I doubt they will consider you. People who play often or used to play a lot but have quit will be more likely to get the offer.

lol noob.
Your account is not registered to receive rakeback from us because you already had a FullTilt account before you signed up with rakebackpros.
Full Tilt Poker is trying to accommodate players who have previously been unable to receive rakeback. Currently they are testing a small amount of players with us and hopefully we will be able to handle more rakeback requests in the coming months. I will send your player ID to FullTilt to see if you can be considered to receive rakeback from us. If we are able to offer more players rakeback then the next step will be to wait until you get an email from Full Tilt Poker with instructions on how to receive rakeback from us.
