FT Bonus Time
 

Everyone check their bonus on FT. I just got a $100 bonus to clear. Probably to do with the launch of the revamped lobby.

200 here

Awesome.

200

REALLY like the new lobby setup. Tons of filters options!

I haven't been able to cleanly "update" my FT software for like 2 months now. Every time they release an update, I have to go to their site and download the full thing again and then redo my mods. It's annoying.

Right now I am AGAIN uninstalling everything (including deleting the registry keys) and am about to reboot. Someone sent me an older setup file, so hopefully once I get this one installed, the stupid update will work for me.

Fingers are crossed.

Nada... WTF?

OK, got the new version up and running (I still need to add my mods) and I love it.

As for my bonus... $200. WTF? How is that my biggest bonus ever? That's not even as half as high as my mid-year or year-end bonuses are. :mad:

100 here

I didn't get anything and i've actually been playing quiet a bit. Booo FT Boo

Biggest Bonus Ever

$100 for myself

You have to play the beta version and you only get 30 days to clear it

How do you claim it, I have nothing in my bonus account, even after clicking the promotions button in my cashier. I'll email them as well, but they probably wont get back to me within the 30 days.

Fildy - standard FT stuff - go to requests -> Check My Bonus offers. I don't know why they tell you to go to promotions...

It IS my biggest FTP bonus ever so I'm good with that! :)

Requests/Check my Bonus Offer

...if that's what you are looking for. You have to find one there and accept it.

Thank you guys, although Im saddened to say that there is still nothing there for me, I emailed full tilt support. If they don't give me a bonus I'll be a little bummed because it was going towards the BAP :-(

this new bonus can be cleared at the same time as the midyear bonus, if anyone is still clearing that....

I got a $300 bonus, which is pretty awesome...

My account got a $100 offer. My wife's account - $0 :mad:

I got $200. Gonna be tough to clear with 23 cents in my account.

got the standard $100:cheers:

nada. No big surprise though

200

Fucking horse shit that some of us (who play there a lot mind you) are getting nothing. Guess I'll go back to Cake. I hope Howard Lederer gets the swine flu.

For those of you that didn't get a bonus
 

To celebrate the launch of the new Full Tilt Poker, we're offering every player who has earned a Full Tilt Point before July 28th at least $100 in bonus money for trying out the improved software.

lol

edit : I'm not laughing at you RD, I'm laughing at the swine flu wish for Howard Lederer.

Hello Brennon,

Thank you for contacting Full Tilt Poker Support.

Congratulations on qualifying for the Biggest Bonus Ever!

A brief technical issue prevented your bonus from being viewed on your account. However, we're pleased to confirm this issue is now resolved and you should be able to see your bonus.


A response within 24 hours, and a positive one at that!!!! sky is falling

but they didn't tell you how to get the sand out of your vagina....

Thats your job silly.

How do you tell which one is his vagina?

Thanks for adding reputation to this user. May you be lucky enough to receive the same Reputation back in turn.

lolololololol

ooops. My bad. I found the $100 bonus.

I don't know how much I'll be able to clear with $1 sng's though. :rolleyes:

Play 12 at a time. 10 hours a day. :)

will actually go a lot quicker than you think. even 8 sngs a night should able you to clear about 20-30 dollars in a months time

ahhhh, I like that it is released in $10 bunches. My last bonus was released in 20's. Yeah, I can get some o' that.
:thumbsup:

How many points do you get per sng?

No clue tbh, but after a session of 12 tables, 3.30s and 6.50 i get like 50+ ftps.

of course I normally play during happy hour and it looks as if its only base FTP's that are counted in this, so it will be a little tougher.

For a $10+1 SNG I get 7 FTP points so each one is worth $0.42 for this promotion. The $20+2 get me 14 points. So it looks like 7/$1 rake.

Correct, it's 7 points per $1 of rake. So at 6 cents per point, you're basically getting 42 cents off each dollar of juice you pay.

Of course, if you have rakeback, the additional 27 cents per $1 you would normally get back is reduced to about 16 cents per $1 while you clear the bonus.

But in the end, that's 58 cents back per $1 of rake paid (plus FPPs) while you clear the bonus. Not too shabi, if my math is right.

The rakeback reduction does suck:mad::mad::mad::talktothehand

So you are one of the people who prefers to get 27 cents per dollar back instead of 58?

That complaint always makes me :confused:

I want both the Bonus and my 27%:cheers:

same thing when ppl complain about paying lots of taxes...
ya it sucks, but the more u pay in taxes the more u made so :confused:

I wish I was paying millions in taxes every year

I find it quite odd, I got $300 and everyone else $200 or else....... hmmmm...... weird

How clever! I thought I got $200, but it's only $100. Anyway, decided to dust off the old mouse pad and deposit $1k. Let's see how much money I can lose clearing this bonus. Gonna play $1/$2 LHE.

Also: Is depositing with a credit card supposed to be this easy?

First online session in a long while complete. Cleared $10 of the bonus in around 510 hands of $1/$2 LHE 6max. Lost $5 playing. Up $5 so far!!!!!!! Woot Woot.

It was fun and I was focused 90% of the time. That's a very big reason I quit playing online. Well, losing was the reason, but lack of focus played some role in it. I was just mashing buttons half the time with my mind wandering about everything other than poker. As usual, I find that when I pay attention I play better. Weird.

Anyway, maybe this will springboard me into playing online again. I have played around 250 live hours in the last 5 months, FWIW. All LHE.

Live limit? Ugh...

Let's see... 250 hours of live limit.... so you've played around 6-7k hands? I think you could have gotten that same volume in online in under 20 hours, and that's if you only 4 table!

So long, 230 hours of life! (Not counting driving time)

Well, according to recent results, I could've lost a lot of fucking money in those 20 online hours. Instead, I made a decent amount of money, got drunk for next to nothing, and got a bunch of free meals out of it.

So.....lose the house or make money? I'll make the money. :D

Also, it's probably between 8-9k hands. LHE w/ regs (shitty, shitty, regs) is a pretty fast moving game.

I actually very recently started playing some 6 max limit online again, just to mix things up... and IMO, these are easily the worst players online. I'd be amazed if you couldn't (easily) beat these games in the long run.

No "free" drinks or meals... but then again, the rake is less and you're not tipping. So order a pizza and a six pack, and you should still come out ahead.

I was dabbling in that game a couple of months ago (Feb) and was running terribly. Basically felt like I didn't know how to play poker anymore. Wasn't just losing but was losing EVERY session. I played 700ish hands today at 6max lhe $1/2. Still lost but felt like I was playing well.
