Yes, that's right, you have RB now. Amazingly, all the other people on this forum all the time complaining about not having RB never even thought of this!
[/sarcasm]

Real answer: No, you have to be added to the list, and then receive an email telling you that you are eligible for RB.

I don't even play at FT so I'm no expert, but again, I don't think so. From earlier in this thread:

Then I saw this thread and decided to give it a shot and try to sign up. To my surprise I was actually able to sign up for it.

For all the people that want it and didn't get an email maybe you should just try to sign up anyway - it might work!!!


2 questions:

1) Is rakebackpros.com the only affiliate that is doing this?

2) For the people that got an email: was it from Full Tilt or from rakebackpros and also what did it say?

I just tested it out signing up with my FTP account and was successful too - but I know it won't work as my FTP account is closed (since they wouldn't give me rakeback!)

When I signed up they sent me this email:

Welcome to RakebackPros, *****!

Below is your login information.

FTP Username: *****

Guess it can't hurt to email Full Tilt support and check.

Edit: you can sign up on the rakeback pros site with any 'FTP Username' it seems. I just typed a long string of completely random characters and it worked, so don't think that means anything

not unless ftp emailed you telling you you have RB. you can sign up at rakebackpros, but your stats will stay at 0.

[Devilboy666]

Yay I didn't even know this was possible I was gonna move my bankroll to Stars but if they give me RB I might stay! w00t.

Inspired by all the recent folks getting rakeback, I signed up for rakebackpros and then emailed the affiliates contact at FTP. I received an email and was wondering if this was standard or if I need to tell them I have signed up with rakebackpros. This is the email I received back.

Thank you for contacting Full Tilt Poker.

Full Tilt does not pay players rakeback directly. There are a number of rakeback affiliates who offer players up to 27% rakeback if they sign up to Full Tilt Poker through their site.

Please note that this is not an issue which can be solved by opening another account with Full Tilt Poker, it is against our site policy to open more than one account. Though you could cease using your account, we do not remove it from our system, nor do we freeze accounts in order for players to create new ones.

However, we do value your continued support of Full Tilt Poker, and we are currently looking into organizing something that will help players who are not already attached to an affiliate. We have added your username to our files for further consideration.

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

Best of luck on the tables!

Kind Regards,

Tomotaka

this probably means they put you on the waiting list for rakebackpros. after i received this email i received a second one about a month later saying i was selected to receive rakeback, but i dont think getting the first necessarily ensures the latter, and the wait time is most likely indefinite.

this thread already addresses your initial statement in several posts. no, it does not work if you just sign-up. yes, it will let you sign-up, but your stats will not change and you will not get any money. rakebackpros (run by FTP) is the only affiliate offering rakeback on existing FTP accounts now afaik. the email is from FT and says you are a valued member and that you have been selected to receive rakeback on all your future play.

Will threatening to withdraw my roll help me become a 'valued FTP member'?

i did. i mentioned the volume that i played and reminded them that at stars you dont even need rakeback. the next day i tried to take out half my roll via bank transfer to try out stars and they emailed me saying they couldnt do bank transfers right now. after that, i doubled my volume to show them theyd be losing money if i left, and about a month later i got the magic email. i really dont know if any of this helped at all, but thats what i did. you might get it just as soon just waiting after they send you the initial email telling you youre on the list for further consideration, but i figured it couldnt hurt.

Ok I downloaded and installed FTP a couple years ago, but never deposited anything, I went with party instead. Now Party isnt as soft as it was and I want some ****ing rakeback. Seeing as the 100% deposit bonus applies no matter how long youve had an account as long as youre making your first real money deposit, shouldn't the same be true for rakeback? Full tilt told me no. How are you guys with existing accounts getting rakeback, and are there any workarounds for me to get rb? Thx in advance anyone who can offer advice.

Good advice:

1) If you want to know how to get RB on an existing account, how about reading the very thread you've posted in?

2) You're from Canada? Why the **** would you want to play at a tight-ass site like FT? Get yourself a good deal at iPoker or OnGame, do some bonus whoring, earn some affiliate kickbacks...anything but play at FT!

3) For the answers for the questions you'll have about point 2), don't post them here...this thread's about FT. There's tons of threads both here and in IB about good sites to play at, bonus whoring, etc. DO some research, and then post any more questions you might have.

[junsie]

just want to say that this thread was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I just had my rakeback account shutdown 2 days ago and my first account I signed up for when I was young and dumb without rakeback is now my only account I can use. I have signed up on rakebackpros.com, emailed their support, and emailed FTP's support. Hopefully all of that pays off in getting rakeback on the old account.

Any other advice if all that doesn't work? This seems like my best chance to get rakeback again.

if RB doesnt pan out, you could always go for supernova on stars, although you have to put in a lot of hands at decent stakes to make it.
