Official FTP Relaunch Thread (OP updated October 26, 2012) - Page 82 - Poker News

Dont see why people are getting so mad over 25%

You do realize that you will get up to 25%. or 2.5$ for every 100ftps. Then you can save your ftps buy some bonus's and achieve a higher %RB since they mentioned that all rewards for ftps wont be deducted from your rb.

Do you really think they do this because they have such a big heart for the poor BF victims?

The only reason stars is doing this, is because of there own interest (money, monopoly).They don't give a f about you.

Just because Pokerstars' actions are not 100% directed at me getting my money, that does not justify being totally indignant at how they choose to run FTP now that it is theirs.

I am not saying I will play at FTP or Stars regardless of how it is run. But I do, without a doubt, feel a sense of loyalty to the company for getting me my money back.

Watching Party Poker Premier League(latest season) on Sky Sports 2 and can confirm Full Tilt advertising.
2 seperate clips played one after the other, I missed the first as was playing poer but heard the end whic is what made me look up and then the next face was Gus Hansen.

Hook line was something like.. 'The Rush Is Back..... 6.11.12'.

No mention of Full Tilt or name brand etc;
Obviously trying to build anticipation for those not too in the know. Was a decent advert actually, soon be on Youtube no doubt even if just captured on a phone.

London, UK @ 04.15 BST during a Poker show.......for those that care!

If you read my whole post youll see that my point is;

That as much as everyone is pissed there is no rakeback etc...We should be happy/delighted/grateful that we are actually getting back something that most people thought they would never get back.

The new full tilt has nothing to do with the old one.Its under new owners and very trustworthy owners...

Maybe we should lay off the abuse and whinging untill its actually open.

Let me first apologize for my ignorance on the topic. But any advice would be much appreciated.

I was a US on BF, but currently am a ROW. I understand that my account will not be able to be played on. Is there any way that I can get my ROW details verified by FTP and have my original balance available for play?

Thanks.

Yes. It will be same as anyone wanting to verify a ROW account, send Photo ID with current address proof and they'll unlock it

No, you still have to apply via DOJ process for you funds if the address on your FTP account was a USA address at June 29 2011.

The people asking for a PS type system on FTP is just ridiculous because these are the same people arguing that PS is turning into a "monopoly." PS is giving players options which can only be good. If you want to play with a PS type VIP system, play on PS. FTP is clearly trying to differentiate themselves which is a good thing.

It seems like that FTP will be the site that attracts more "recreational" types of players in the long run. At that point, you can choose if you want to play with 24 tablers on PS with a good VIP deal, or play with worse players on FTP without as many rewards.

I'm too tired right now to search for the exact date, but it's around June 29th, 2011.

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.

This sounds correct to me.
Good post!

Not just GTD's but ADDED tournaments. Hate $20k guarantees, for it only to exceed that amount with a huge field, turning it into a normal buy-in tournament anyway. ADDED tournies are what we deserve. Also a huge reload bonus.
