Just got the email a little bit ago.

Standard disclaimers apply: Probably not fully baked on the site yet. Not that hard to understand, but a lot of people will find a way. May or may not effect your MGR, but you shouldn't care about that. Probably accessible through the promos page through the cashier, just like everything else.

Does anyone remember if last years bonus that was given in January worked off at the same time as another bonus like the $600 one from the Iron man store?

So when you play in July, the points you make will earn you both bonuses at the same time?

This was true with the Year End Bonus but there is no guarantees it will be the same this time around..FTPSEAN or FTPDOUG said the bonus was being "tracked off line" and that was why you could clear 2 bonuses at the same time and the Year End Bonus did not effect MGR either...

Regardless it's a sweet deal..

yay full tilt

I'll take it! Hope it doesnt effect MGR like the last one.

how u take this bonus???

Try bending over.

You may wish to consider reading the link provided. This Internet thing, it's very hard.

FTP Doug posted this in the FTP Answer 5/29 thread today:

12. As for the additional [Iron Man] bonus, ftpdoug was non-committal this early in the year as to whether that would occur again, but we'll see.

- As some have already seen, we just announced the Mid-Year Bonus. To answer all of the normal questions about it: It will work just like the Year-End Bonus. You have to opt-in and qualify for any level of Iron Man in June, then you'll get your bonus and clear it in July. It clears at a rate of $0.05/point. It DOESN'T hit your MGR. It CAN be cleared at the same time as another bonus (since this is web based and the other bonuses are in the game). And finally, it's paid in one lump sum once you fully clear it, and if you don't fully clear it by the end of July you'll get a lump sum in early August of whatever partial amount you did clear.



So now we know thats in July bonuses will be cleared at the same time which is nice. So my question now is, how long does it take to get a bonus from the Iron Man store credited to your account?

How can I find out if I reached any of the levels in previous months?
Thanks

With last years end of year iron man they had a chart telling you about that, which you could access from the "my promotions" page.

The second to last paragraph of the linked FTP page seems like they will do it like that again. I guess it will just take some time to appear...

Punter, the cash bonus is not yet automated like some of the other things in the iron man store. Typically, an email to support after the purchase gets the bonus to you within a few days.

hey guys sorry to orevive that ery old thread but do you think it is possible to get the bonus if i take the continuing month in june? i won't be able to play much poker in june and it would definitely not being good if i was to miss this
cheers guys

I'm, sure others can remember better but I'm pretty sure that in the past it said specifically that you had to play the last month in order to qualify.

Also you normally have 45 days from the 1st to clear it so buying a continuing month days or weeks later would confuse things (you buy the continuing month after the next month start). This is different from a regular bonus which starts when you request it (or rather when FT gets around to your request).

But you'll only have to reach bronze even if you have been at iron the other months.

is full tilt still doing the midyear and endyear bonus this year for ironman? i looked on my ironman page and it only shows last year's yearend bonus and says its no longer a promotion.

Would be surprising if they didn't do it again and they are usually slow in announcing this stuff.

I see enough posts every 6 months on this and it's quite clear that it's a "yes" unless otherwise stated.

they still have it on their site: http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/mid-year-bonus
so i also believe its a "yes".

If there is no bonus they will loose a ton of goodwill. So it's pretty obvious there will be.

If there is a new program planned to start in the second half of 2010 I guess they could make changes to Iron man that eliminates/changes the bonus system from July and on but no way will they not give out the bonus everyone is expecting for Jan thru June. That would make lots of players leave on principle (and yes I know they haven't promised anything).

If there is a new award program starting already in July we will probably not find out about it until the June ftp answer thread.
