I have created an account when i was a donkey. I used the $600 deposit bonus lol... depisited $10 AHAHA

And unfortunately signed up through an affiliate aparently. FTP will not give me rakeback or let me get rakeback. Is there any reason to play on FTP other than pokerstars? how many here play on FTP without rakeback?

Pokerstars doesnt seem to have that great of a deal either 5000 FPP for the cash bonus only $50 :/

If you were me and you like FTP interface better would you just give up the stars VIP system and shift to FTP? or would you stay because at least you get some sort of bonus?

u've completely wasted the two good reasons to sign up at FT. although the software and traffic are both very good, i honestly suggest u don't play there no more. go to stars or if u want rakeback go play at Cake or UB/AP.

what about a 3rd site?
If US player i guess Stars will still be better, (esp for 10nl and below)

If it was not for RB, I would see no reason to play on FTP.

Cake and AP/UB are subpar in my book.

Play on PS, I think the competition is marginally softer, the interface is ok, and they are reputiable.

I have to confess I have no rb @ Full Tilt. I have recently signed up through rakebackpros and heard nothing. I have emailed FT and nothing. I have raked over 700$ this month at 25nl.

fml.

Any way to rake FT into submission?

send them an email telling them you want rb they will sign u up with an affiliate within a month or two

I too signed up before i ever knew what rakeback was,

I was able to get rakeback through rakebackpros

you can send them an email and see if you are eligible, when I asked i got my rakeback deal in about 5 days

If you email them just say if you do not get rakeback you will not play on FT and you will find another site that will give you rb.

Cake cashouts perfectly fine IMO. 2 checks, 10 days each. Cashout to ewalletxpress in 1 day. Someone call the wahhhmbulance for these guys.

Dear tankgirl,

Thanks for contacting Full Tilt Poker Support.

You?ve asked about the possibility of receiving rakeback but at this time, Full Tilt Poker does not offer rakeback directly to players.

There are a number of affiliate companies which offer rakeback if players sign up to Full Tilt Poker through their website. However, it appears that you were referred to Full Tilt Poker from an affiliate which does not offer rakeback. We are unable to switch your account from this affiliate to another, as our agreement with affiliates prohibits this.

We understand that you are interested in such promotions in the future and if the situation changes, our players will be the first to know and we will contact you when we have more news.

Regards,

Zbigniew
Full Tilt Poker Support

Does this mean no rakeback for me, nevereverever?

Send them an email saying that you wont ever play on their site ever again if you don't get rakeback, if they don't give you rakeback, then you should just move to Stars.

Personally, I wouldn't be playing @ FTP if I didn't get rakeback. I do get rakeback though so I'm straight!

Stars dont do rb tho?

Or am I missing something?

I will likely rake 900-1k USD this month.

Where else could I be playing that is similar in turnover/softness @ 6max 25nl to FTP.

Any sugesstions?

Betfair is where I started with 1 dollar average pot and >15% flop...

So FTP is good for now.

Would love any kind suggestions from others in a similar position to myself.

Hey Rek just for your info:

I don't recommend Cake but if someone is not in a hurry to cashout then its not a bad place to play. Great rakeback, soft tables, just bad customer service, really bad.

I think their CS is ok - not great but certainly not bad. Their software is not impressive and they have had a few issues lately. I just think you were being a bit unfair saying you can't cash out.

For US players I realise that it is difficult and I just think after Stars and FTP, Cake is probably the next best thing.

I just prefer stars. They pay me super fast.

I think you could still use FTP because of their speedy customer service and the fine way they manage their software upgrades.

Agreed, everyone?

Pokerstars is Full Tilt on Roids. If you are gonna play without rakeback might as well go to stars. Stars is number 1
