This is awesome. Well done guys.

They have just ripped the heart out of what made full tilt different from Stars.

The lack of appreciation for what stars has done is terrible.

There is one huge thing they did for all of us that they did not have to do.Get your money back...Everyone complained for weeks upon weeks about how they will never see it.

Now you are getting it so you still find something to complain about.Its fair enough to be a bit pissed thats it going to be slightly different.But they owe you absolutely nothing.They already said that they are bringing something similar to the black card back and will pay mid year bonuses etc and will give some sort of form of rakeback back plus they will bring back exact same software and pay everybody..That is brilliant.

Im going to play on full tilt either way..Because of its quality software,rush poker and rush tournies and the fact its a bit different to stars.

Your average-everyday-Joe isnt going to even know that FTP is back.

Anyone speculate why there isnt a mass marketing campaign on this?

The signing of new Pros, " The Professionals ", New ownership, etc etc...I would have thought they would be pimping the hell out of this.

Whats up with these ******ed ****ing questions? do you really think they would offer 27% flat which is pretty much equal to supernova on stars?? Every grinder plat and below would move to FTP earning stars ALOT less money.

FWIW, Supernova is 40-45% on Stars. You can get the equivalent of 27% is you re a platinum or even gold and I don't think doing either especially gold is that hard.

To be honest, they should not run ads untill they open and things settle down. I m sure alot of ROW players that are aware that they are opening will login the same day. No need to overload the server and run into problems. I think it would be much better to run a week or two then run ads announcing FTP is up and running.

You're an idiot. Stars bought FTP because it's ++++++EV, not because they were feeling charitable. We're free to bitch at them any way we like. If they don't want critical feedback they can suck it. They are going to make tons of money off of us. They owe us absolutely EVERYTHING. They should be grateful of us, not the other way around. Bending over backwards for them just because we got our money back is lol. Have a spine.

Excuse my ignorance but what is the point of giving EVERYONE the same rakeback? Why not just make the rake lower. Isn't that the same thing? :/

Calm down man..Am I not alowd to give my opinion without getting called an idiot?

They owe you nothing.If you dont want to play and wanna take your money and play on another site then do so.

You and me have everyright to complain and to criticise because business cant run unless they get feedback.But the ****** site isnt even back yet and people are complaining.

They owe us NOTHING..I know they bought it for there owe EV but still if they didnt then me and others would not be getting paid.In march/april people were complaining and whinging about never ever going to get there money.

Now you are being given it(Pokerstars cleaning up a mess they didnt create) and havnt even recieved it and are giving out saying '*** pokerstars Im not playing there ' or whatever.

Not called for.Just wait till it gets up and running.If its **** then call it **** but the money you are getting in two weeks time is a bonus.Loads of people had said goodbye to it this time last year.

They aren't gonna have a mass marketing campaign until the site is actually up and running. That makes sense because you don't want some average joe watching tv seeing a ftp commercial and then going to download and play and the sites not up yet. Just my 2 cents but I think after relaunch on Nov. 6th you will see alot of marketing they just aren't concerned about getting the traffic up right from day 1.

Pretty sure they wouldn't advertise on American channels considering they can't play... I saw it in the casino of Montreal poker room. When I asked the pit boss what channel is was he told me it was channel 81 rsn-e. There was soccer playing at the time. Saw it a few times

Just saw the tv ad too, Think it was on setanta(wasn't paying much attention to the channel lol) which is an Irish station. Just says Play again, the rush is back and it shows the usual picture of the full tilt pros at the table, and then gives the opening date. Doesn't even say full tilt(or have the logo) anywhere though. Is that some marketing strategy? Less info the more people are interested?

The one I saw said the rush is back and at the end there was a full tilt logo with the start date. Hopefully someone uploads them to YouTube
