Do black card members automatically make Iron Man each month? If not they should, would be an easy fix for the "I play a billion hands but only on a couple of days and not some hands on 25 days" complaint imo

Yeah this or something close to this. Just get rid of the 25 days thing (make it at least monthly or something), anything but the current system please.

MGR = total rake / nr of player in table - bonuses etc.

now we have new rakeback system that pays from RAKE paid. so when you pay 100$ rake and buy tournament tickets with your points you still get 27$ rakeback??

(old version: 100$rake-ticket(36$)= 64$*0.27%rakeback = 17$ rakeback.)

Gotta be ****in kidding me.

New Rewards System my mother ****ing ass.

srsly ftp way to go. And stars has even made their own reward system just that much better taking away their VPP clearing reqs for cash bonuses. WAY TO GO FTP.

This.

Especially the bit about stars.

Yeah I guess it's a tradeoff but I always either close FTP when I leave or at least shut it down to the windows PW thingy

BUT WAIT WAIT GUYS, HEADS UP PLAYERS CAN EARN FTPS FIVE TIMES AS FAST. They are ****ting on our RB and giving us pts faster because pts are worth ****all.

Please say yes?

It means the maniac uber losing fish who usually doesn't have rakeback will lose the rackback to FullTilt.
Regs with the higher winrates may get more rakeback only if they play a LAG style where they are involved with many pots. Regs who are on the nittier style will lose the rackback on hands that s/he didn't contribute to the pot.

The result is a winning solution for FullTilt because they keep more of the rake. The losers are obviously the nits and likely the average non-LAG player.

if black card is so exclusive yada yada yada, you shouldn't have to work off the cash bonus.

Heads up players contribute 50% of the rake each so they are not affected by this change. They do earn points at 5 times the rate though so its win win

So after being pretty excited about this new rewards system, I have found out that I will 1) be losing ~85% of my Iron Man medals per month, and also having my RB reduced ~20%. BUT IM GETTING DOUBLE PTS **** YEAAAAH.

Holy **** ftp. Holy massive ****ing ****.

edit: Fuji you are leveling right?

For every 1k point you earn (over the 2k/day) you lose 10 medals for there not being IM+ anymore and gain 1k FTP due to 2x points. 1 medal is worth 40 points so you gain 600 points

Or in other words it's as if you'd get +25 medals instead of +10 medals like from the old IM+

Could you please post something to the checks thread? Things are getting a bit silly. While I know the whole checks thing is a challenge, it would be nice for an update.

The games didn't improve when ipoker changed to contributed calculation for their points schemes, they won't improve at full tilt either.

For each 1000 points, you used to get
1000 pts and at most 10 medals
now you get
2222 pts (or 3333 pts, 6maxrush)
and the ability to convert all your points easily to cash.

Do you really want your 10 medals instead of the points?

Also, if you don't care about the basic ironman promo; now you don't have to play 15 days a month just to get your ironplus medals.

wait a minute... as of yesterday I was qualified for Iron Man, and now I'm just a Gold, because "Unable to qualify at 250 points per day" (I have 3 days with 200<points<250). Is it fair to change points requirements on the last day of month???

I hear the sound of slamming doors as the nits leave in their droves.

Who wants to 12 table at VPIP 8 any more.

FTP, please correct promotions pages for this month. I was Iron, but with the changes to make Iron Man being applied from the start of the month, I hope incorrectly, I'm now Gold. TY
