Regarding the Added bonus related questions. You do not hv to accept it now if u'll be away. U hv until may 8th to accept then 3 weeks to clear. Anyone got more than the 1k Ren received? I got only 500 myself. And once I clear it should be another 60usd rush ticket if I understand the promotion correctly.

Where did you find the details that say theres another 60USD rush ticket? I got 500 but no notification or anything just randomly found it in my bonus section

Thx

"MWHAHAHAHA"- USA

Also by the USA securing all of the oil countries when they run out we will have the last great reserve in Alaska making the USA all powerful!!!! "MWAHAHAHAHA" - still the USA


The real leader and brains behind the USA...

Spoiler:

yes, I am insinuating that the USA is an evil corporation being run by an evil panel of incompetence cleverly named but poorly disguised as a "democracy".

this panel obv does not include the president as he has very little to do with what actually happens in this country.
You just now figured this out?

This, I intentionally didn't bother overreacting the way some people did. I know guys who literally went out and set up VPN within a day, and they're obviously running into issues now. I took the same line with not buying tourney tickets, etc. My thought process was that trying to force through any unnecessary transactions after the damage was done was only going to further complicate the process. I'd be pissed if FTP rewarded a bunch of people who decided to throw that hail mary while ignoring the fact that everyone else still had points and medals sitting out there.

oh how I miss those 2/5 games with $200 max buy in with huge rake, but oh once you go busto you can rebuy for $300. Please tell me something is in the works to normalize those games.

It's on the bonus page on FTP.co.uk
If I understand it correctly, anyone with more than 200 bonus will get max 60 rush ticket if u successfully clear 100% of bonus.
