I play mostly 25-50nl. I joined Full Tilt over a year ago before I knew about rakeback, so I don't have it and cannot get it. I play on both Stars and Full Tilt, but I'm thinking about switching exclusively to Stars to take advantage of their VIP program. Anyone got any pros and cons to this move?

email FTP and get put on the list for rakeback.

play on stars until you get rakeback. go for supernova in 2009 if you play a ton.

I did email FTP about getting put on the rakeback list, but they replied with this:

Thank you for contacting Full Tilt Poker Support.

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

After reviewing your account I note that you are linked to an affiliate who does not offer rakeback.

Most of our affiliates own a website and have our banner advertised. If a person clicks on this banner they are taken to the Full Tilt Poker sign-up page and are automatically tracked to the affiliate.

Unfortunately, as a part of our agreement with our affiliates, we cannot switch your account, once you are assigned to an affiliate.

We do value your continued support of Full Tilt Poker; and are currently looking into organizing an alternative to rakeback. We have added your name to the list for this program.

Regards,

Rudolf
Full Tilt Poker Support

I don't remember signing up through an affiliate. I did get the 600% sign up bonus, so maybe that was through an affiliate. Regardless, it looks like I won't be getting rakeback anytime soon.

There's a huge thread on this all ready where the veteran posters break it down . Search and read it . It is worth the time .

If you play a lot and can get to SN by playing exclusively on Stars then you are better off with Stars program than even if you would get a RB from Tilt.
