Endless Rakeback saga at FTP...and other sites'.

[swrittenb]

I got the very same email a few mins ago, 27% paid every friday.
I think you have to deposit there, but maybe if you won freeroll money and ran it up and then generated rake that way, surely you'd get it back?

No deposit required, I racked up all my cash from freeroll wins as well. Sweet!

. i signed up through an affiliate and didn make a deposit til wayy over 90 days...and they still denied me

this definately didn work for me. i signed up through an affiliate and didn make a deposit til wayy over 90 days...and they still denied me

I dunno then, if you guys signed up before I did then maybe you're one of those that dakota mentioned about being in before the policy change, or your affiliate has different contract terms with them. It does suck, I'll admit. I also can't help but think there are some other seemingly arbitrary criteria they judge applicants by, that we just aren't privy to.

So you really do believe FT were monitoring the table chat

This is becoming epic!

This is some funny stuff for sure!

 

[Poker Orifice]

Thinking that table chat will affect the co's. decision.... <<< this has me shaking my head... too funny. Man will also live on the moon... fact! (I read about it somewhere... so I can back it up 100%.... well... it was my neighbor's Grd.3 project & I proof-read it for spelling errors..... but all the facts were there!?!?!?!?)
When I first signed up on Fulltilt it was a result of seeing repeated TV commercials advertising their site. It looked kinda cool so I thought I'd give it a try. I didn't know about rakeback at the time (and there were a ton of other things I didn't know about either.... ie. some of the sign-up deals out there, free software, free membership to video training sites, etc. etc. etc.). I just wanted to play poker & they were able to provide me with a great service & a new experience for me.... a very good one!! (I also signed up to Pokerstars & deposited there as well, a few days later).
After I'd been playing for awhile, I discovered that others were receiving 'rakeback'. It didn't bother me much as I didn't play much on cash tables, mostly mtt & sng (& micro levels at that, $1-$25, & $1-$5).
Then I discovered that some players on their site were starting to receive rakeback even though they initially didn't get it when they first signed up & that if you hadn't signed up through an affiliate then you 'might' be eligible. I then found out what was involved and followed through by writing a letter to Fulltilt support. I thought, "This would be a bonus." (it still didn't bug me though that I didn't have it.... when I signed up I was content with the deal I had initially been given.... otherwise I wouldn't have signed up).
I received a letter telling me I would be considered for rakebackand was put on a 'waitlist'.
I then heard of others who were repeatedly writing/bugging Fulltilt support about rakeback so after a month or so of waiting I decided to write again.
The response I received said, "we have you on a wait list & have received your first correspondence about this. We would be happy to help you in any problems/concerns you might have BUT this will be the last letter about rakeback that we will respond to. Please don't write to us about this again." So.... I didn't.
I waited patiently and around a month later I received a letter saying that I had been accepted.
Now I'm not too sure why I was accepted on that particular day (but do have some ideas),.... but the night before I had a dream where I was breaking into Fulltilt office and taking support staff employees hostage, threatening to take my micro play elsewhere!!!!!!! Oddly enough (or maybe not odd at all????) the following day there was the email..... you have been accepted for rakeback.
See.... Fulltilt actually monitors your dreams if you're logged into their site (depends upon what screensaver you're using of course).... they can actually monitor your subconcious mind... and for sure this is why they gave me rakeback!!!!! (I have other proof but won't bother to write it in here).
What I really think happened.... my partner applied for rakeback around 7wks. after I had. She received a letter saying that she'd been accepted for rakeback a couple days after I had. Leads me to believe that there are certain times when they process a bunch who are on the waitlist.
If I worked in support for Fulltilt & had someone repeatedly sending in emails demanding rakeback..... well... umm..... 'delete' kinda comes to mind. Then instead of responding I'd probably just activate the 'dream monitor program', to see if their threats of moving their $200 bankroll to another site was reality or not.

Literally LMAO :adore:

They not only monitor your dreams - they send you dreams and enter them as well. I can't get rakeback at Full Tilt so don't play there - I play at Pokerstars instead.

But yesterday Full Tilt offered me a $100 bonus so I thought I would finish the month out there and try to earn some of it. I played there last night.

Then last night I dreamed that I was playing in the Sunday million at Pokerstars. It was down to the last 30 and Joe Cada came to support me - at my house. He sat down next to me and started showing me pictures of all the houses he has bought with his winnings to show me what I could do if I play at Pokerstars and win.

I know they sent me that dream to me cause they want me back.

I came across this thread yesterday morning and as someone who's been on FT for a while now (purely at micro stakes) but who isn't getting rakeback I decided to give it a go.

I received a quick response from FT saying that they would put me in touch with their official rakeback partner, Rakeback pros, who would be in touch with me to consider my request. Today I get a mail saying I've been accepted and will now be eligible to receive 27% rakeback.

Now I'm nowhere near as active a player as some of those on this thread and tbh I feel slightly embarrassed given the trials that others on this thread have been through to get rakeback (if then). All I can say is I sent a simple polite request in and I've been accepted very quickly. Go figure...

LOL 1 DAY!!! Please Lord tell me you're playing 2nl too!

Full Tilt support has never done anything in 1 day before. I'm pretty sure they're just ****ing with you now cAPS!

Well the only conclusion that can be drawn from all of the above is that Full Tilt Poker officially hates you cAPSLOCK. Or more to the point:

[ ] FTP loves cAPS

 

[Tangerine 53]

LOL 1 DAY!!! Please Lord tell me you're playing 2nl too!

Errm yes I am - and $2 SNG's. Like I said I am embarrassed having read through the rest of this thread. I did ask nicely... Oh and I pointed out that I'm planning on playing more - maybe that did the trick?

 

[WVHillbilly]

My day is complete. I can't wait for cAPS to stumble in and catch up on this thread.

Tangerine 53, you are my new favorite poster. Thank you dear sir or madame.

 

[Tangerine 53]

Hillbilly - it's a Sir. And if I have brought some joy into your life then my day is complete also...

I couldn't believe it myself to be truthful - all I did was ask. Maybe it's because they can't see the volumes that some of the rest of you guys do that I got it? I really don't know.

 

[cAPSLOCK]

There has to be some difference...

Do you at least like 8 table or something?

Complete this sentence:
Full ____ is rigged.

 

[Debi]

I keep trying to tell everyone it has nothing to do with stakes or volume but nobody believes me lol.

If you really want to make WVH happy, go to the Bad beats and vents section and post all of your bad beats... he just loves reading through those and giving you a shoulder to cry on.

That's actually fine with me. I don't read that section (except for the fact that they stuck the monthly thread in there).

Now can we go back to laughing at how much FTP hates cAPS? I think your next email to FTP should be this entire thread. I'm sure it will bring the lolz around the FTP water cooler. They're just playing with you now.

That's okay, I'm actually LMAO at how much enjoyment you're getting you're getting out of FTP getting ramrodded!

 

[DoubleAA80]

Had an account for over a year and finally they give me my rakeback, Im about to turn blue. rakebackpros is the only site that has even tried for me and they finally got it.

I rarely play at Full Tilt except for tourneys, but still rarely. It has nothing to do with volume. Not sure why it finally took

 

[WVHillbilly]

rbpros "tried for you" because rbpros = ftp. Same or similar ownership anyway. That way when they give an existing account rb it only costs them 27% (the $$ they give you) not the full 35% they pay to actual affiliates.

 

[KerouacsDog]

I grind 2table 2nl-10nl, maybe 18000 hands over 6 months, so its not volume nor stakes...............................

 

[Tangerine 53]

I think this must be true. I've only recently started to put in any meaningful volume (34 SNG's this month and approx 1.5k cash hands - pitiful by other standards on here but I am a recreational player) so it can't be much to do with that. Admittedly my volume is increasing steadily over time so maybe that helped?

I've now got the confirmation e-mail from Rakebackpros and my rakeback starts immediately! All told this took 2 days - very slick service. But my experience seems to be completely different from that had by others on this thread.

 

[orangepeeleo]

I dont get why there's a 6page thread on getting RB at fulltilt, i dunno if anyone knows this, but there are other sites that you can play poker on, i have FT RB and don't even play there!

Instead of putting so much effort into getting (not a lot of)RB at FT put your energy into finding other, softer sites, with more RB, theyre out there trust me!
