I am considering making a deposit on FullTilt Poker, and I've been looking for the best deal around, and I couldn't really find any except the standard bonus, but then my friend told me he signed up through http://www.majland.de/ftp.html - is there any better deals around than this one? Otherwise I'll just sign up through this. An extra 50$ is really nice for a beginner like me imo.
One often overlooked part of signing up at a rakeback site is the option to use a friend as a referral. The friend actually makes free money as it does not come out of your rakeback, but the sites funds. It's not much, but my referral deposit each month is about $50 as I have had 6 or 7 people sign up using me as a referral. I didn't twist anyone's arm to use me... I had just offered to help set up their computers for online play, sometimes more than a noob can handle. <<Bonus hint: After you get an account, try to sign up others as it can be free money for you too.>>
IF you don't have a friend on the rakeback site you like (I use raketherake.com) then a suggestion is to use someone from 2+2 that you admire for helping you (or others). When I signed up, I used one of the mods on the 6Max small stakes forum as he seemed very helpful and offered good strat advice.
First thing is of course, get rakeback. But if you can, use a referral.....it really is free money for someone (doesn't come out of your pocket), Contact that person (on 2+2 through PM) and ask for his member number as you will need that during the signup process. You can't add a referral after the fact.
