In the past 3 days I've accumilated 4 buyins of rake playing 10NL.

That's pretty effin insane.

So now that I've seen the level of which I'm getting raked, I started inquiring about rakeback. I went through rakeback pros about 4 months ago but they don't speak english and they don't seem to understand my concerns... they never were able to sign me up and I never got anything from them.

So I spoke with the fine support system of FTP and they pretty much copied and pasted the same email twice:

Hello David, Thank you for your response. Most of our affiliates own a website and have our banner advertised. If a potential player clicks on this banner, they are taken to the Full Tilt poker sign-up page and are automatically tracked to the affiliate. Unfortunately due to our privacy policy, I cannot disclose more information. What I can say is that Full Tilt Poker has relationships with various non-rakeback affiliates, and they receive commission on all real money players they send to Full Tilt Poker. If you signed up to Full Tilt Poker using the Refer A Friend program your affiliation would be Refer A Friend. 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.

anyways... now no one's even talking to me and I'm gonna have to switch to stars... for ****'s sake

In my opinion all full tilt poker support ever does is copy and paste e-mail responses that are probably saved on a file. Anyway, I always find poker rooms support slow and stupid.

1 switch to cake
2 take rakeback
3 ?????
4 Profit

Cake = no HEM/PT though which suuucks.

If you're non-US there's plenty of other - albeit ****ty sites - that provide rakeback. If you're US, unlucky.

I've been raked about 80% as much as I've won and i win at 6ptbb/100

If you go too Annete Oberstad's twitter, she can offer you 60% rakeback at betfair.

wow you're getting screwed. Keep sending mails imo, and make clear the insane amounts of rakeback you should get and that you WILL switch to another poker site.

It doesn't matter if you send 9297812898246912 emais a day, Full Tilt won't give you rakeback on your account. You've signed up through an affiliate already and thats that.

If you really want Rakeback you have to move simple as.

hey op what happened to your sng career on the 27$ sngs? still calling off dem semibluffs?

I grinded out ironman last month at 10nl. Don't even talk to me about rake.

I wouldnt play at stars at nl10 if you want some sort of rakeback if i were you, theres some pretty sick rakeback deals else where, i've raked 28 buyins there in the last 10 days, just over 3kFPP's with Platinum star, Im only staying there because i'll be SN next week (UK promo) and moving up! (lol)

I want to get rake back too!!!

I play small but I play lots

I should have never let someone else sign me up through their friggin site

****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think this is what happened to me... but I can't remember...

poker sites/card rooms take rake. simple.
its a big **** in the ass, but thats the game we sign up to play....

beat 600 posts, 7 month as a 2+2 member, playing NL10

Did you sign up using an affiliate code?

i think this is bogus as well

**** em i will open a new account some where else if i have to

or i will open an account under another person and sign up for rakeback

what a bunch of ass holes

Thank you for contacting Full Tilt Poker Support.

In accordance with our site rules, only one account per person is permitted on Full Tilt Poker, and unfortunately players may not close their existing accounts in order to create new ones for rakeback. This policy is in place because our internal records depend on Player IDs remaining constant.

If you would like a full explanation of our site rules, please visit our website at: http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/siteRules.php

Having said that there is a test group of players who are not linked to any affiliate, who have been assigned to an affiliate 'rakebackpros'.

The reason for why we were unable to put your name forward for consideration is because you are already linked to an affiliate.It would violate our Affiliate Agreement to move a player off of an affiliate account.

Since you have not been receiving rakeback from this affiliate, we have placed you on an alternative list for upcoming promotions as compensation.

In the meantime, we are constantly releasing new bonuses for our loyal customers. Be sure to check your email regularly for your chance to earn some extra cash.

There are plenty of ways to get in on the action. Please visit: http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/promotions.php to view all of our exciting promotions.

If there's anything we can help you with, please don't hesitate to ask.

Best of luck on the tables!
