I've been playing on Pokerstars for about 4 years now, Absolute Poker for about 5 years, Full Tilt 1 year and Ultimate Bet for about 6 years. I've never received any rakeback for any of the sites I've played on. Is rakeback just for new accounts on these sites? I've put in a lot of volume on each of these sites over the years(and I still play nearly every day). What can I do about receiving some rakeback on any of these sites? Seems like I could be missing out on a fair amount of money. Any ideas? Thanks!

PS has no rakeback, if you didnt sign up through an affiliate you can email FTP (if you did i think you are SOL), and i think AP/UB will let you get it if you didnt sign up for an affiliate or something.

Cool, thanks for the reply. Rakeback is something I dont know too much about, but I figured it would be worth my time inquiring.

rakeback is at account creation when you put a code on for a new account. Once in a while you can get it from FTP later on by asking to be on a 'list' but most of the time you're boned.

If you're not getting rakeback you're losing a lot of value, and it might be in your best interest to switch sites to where you can.

nope if they find out u will probably get your account terminated and the money in your account taken.

Find a new site if you aren't getting rakeback on FTP....

I'd never play on a site without rakeback... it is invaluable.

Full tilt was good for me to get me rakeback (without an affiliate). Anyone can get it really if you didn't sign up with an affiliate. Say that you just made an account on rakebackpros.com and that you heard they can give rakeback to an account that didnt register with a rakeback site. Also say you are a long term player that is currently making a choice between FT and pokerstars and this will be a big factor.

A) tell them what they already know (that rakebackpros can give you rakeback without having registered the account with them)
B) show your loyalty to the site
C) show that you are aware of other options if this doesn't work

Great advice man, I really appreciate it. I think I've been missing out for far too long! Thanks again and good luck at the tables.
