I have question about not playing for x amount of months...

I'm pretty sure that I don't have a 3rd party provider for rake back from FT. I e-mailed them a while ago and basically just asked to be on the rake back program as I was an existing player. Then randomly one day I started receiving it.

When I "check my bonuses" and go to my rake back page..it tells me how long I am eligible for rake back for...(Till sometime in Feb).

If I go away in March and April and don't play...Would I be eligible to receive rake back if I returned in May?

Has anyone experienced this?

Thanks.

best point value would be to play in their MTTs. Go in tournaments/tickets and I think the best conversions are for the most expensive buy ins. even if you buy the cheap MTTs like $1, $2, etc... you are getting a better value than most cash bonuses. Example:

$1 daily dollar is $4.44 per 1,000 points
$2,000 cash bonus from black card store is $4.35 per 1,000 points.
If you play MTTs above $40 dollars, I think you get $5+ per 1,000 points.

So if you use points for MTTs, you are lucky, b/c FTPs are worth way more to you than cash game folks like myself.

If you mean buying in directly with points, go to the MTT lobby and uncheck all the limits, and only keep freerolls/FTPs checked. This way you will find some sattelitem MTTs. Most are satellites to the 750k guarantees and FTOPs w/ buy in of 1k-4k points.. Not sure how it converts, prolly good conversion, and possible no RB hit. I'm not sure though.

i recently bought the tokens and got a RB hit- do the tourneys get a RB hit? (apparently buying the tokens with medals is the thing to do with those cause there's no hit right?)

Correct. Everything purchased from the FT store has a rakeback hit. Tokens purchased from the IM store do not.

Alternately, there are lots of 20 ftp sng's to the 2500ftp satellite to the Sunday Brawl.... play 20 or 30 for 400-600 ftps, win just one and unregister for a net gain of `1900 ftps... Just a thought.

I knew these were around, I was thinking about cashing my points in for some tokens and doing this exact same thing but they were gone. Why were they pulled?

There was a glitch with buying in with tokens and being able to unreg for T$. Doug keeps saying that they will be back at the next server downtime. The next one isn't scheduled until the end of Feb though.

Either use them for tourneys if your a tourney player. Buy something in the FTP store you like or sell them in the marketplace.

Hello, I apologize if this is not the correct area to post this or if it has already been addressed. I have searched all around and I found stuff about what to spend FTP points on, but never large amounts.

I'm the highest level blackcard and I have a couple million FTP points. What is the best value for me to spend my points on?

I also have a 27% rakeback deal.

I know that spending the points will effect my rakeback. From what I understand the best value would be to just accumulate millions of points and spend them all on something major and then never play on fulltilt again. This really doesn't seem like a option.

I will be continuing to play, so if the cashback is the play I won't have a prob clearing the bonus. Also, if I need to save up even more for something I definitely will be playing a lot and can do that as well.

Thank you very much.

Best value would prob be to sell them at around $3.20/1k in the marketplace I guess.

5k bonus sounds easiest and best.

sell them, buy cash bonuses, buy tourney tickets, buy electronics to sell on ebay, find something in the store you want, etc etc
