Full Tilt RakeBack!
 

It's FINALLY here.

After much back and forth with Full Tilt's affiliate department, I have finally convinced them to switch me to their % plan and allow me to give players rakeback. The maximum rakeback they allow affiliates to give is 27%, which is what I will be giving - nothing but the best for you guys!

If you don't already have a Full Tilt account:

1. Use to download Full Tilt Poker and create a new account.

2. Once you have set up your new account, PM me with your Full Tilt Player ID. I'll confirm that you are being tracked to me, and that's all there is to it!

Then all you need to do is play (the more the better!), and I will transfer 27% of the rake you generate back into your player account after Full Tilt pays me. This is usually done on or around the 15th of the following month. Please note that you need to earn at least $5 rake back in a given month, as $5 is the minimum amount Full Tilt will allow me to transfer to you.

This is a sweet deal, and I hope you guys looking for rakeback jump on it. I'm going to be offering rakeback to a number of other sites very soon, but I wanted to start with Full Tilt, since, IMO, it is by far the best site out there (that allows affiliates to give rake back - you will never get rakeback on Stars, for example). I've been playing at Full Tilt pretty much exclusively myself for the past few months.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.

P.S. If you already have a Full Tilt account and are not getting rakeback, I may be able to get you switched over too. PM me for details.

wow
 

hell of a deal TP, kinda sad I have a full tilt account already.

I noticed the "Probably" in there, if you can get around this I'm game. I already get 27% and to be honest Full Tilt pays earlier in the month than ANY other site I have had rakeback on.

I'd switch to your affiliate code if I could though.

I appreciate that, but as an affiliate, there is nothing for me to "get around," if you see what I am saying. I'm not the one would would be setting up a new account on a clean computer, using a different name, email address, funding source, etc. All I do is check the reports and make the payments to those who qualify.

As for them paying earlier in the month than any other site, maybe they pay your affiliate fast, but I don't get paid by them until the 15th, so obviously my payments to you guys wouldn't be until after that.

sorry for the stupid question, but if my wife wanted to open an account at fulltilt and get rb from you, does she also qualify for the first time deposit bonus or are they mutually exclusive offers?

She would, yes. Keep in mind though, bonus money is subtracted from the rake she would generate (this is how all sites do it), so her rake back would be lower until she clears the bonus. In the end though, she'll come out ahead.

Ok, I am going to make like I am really stupid and spell this out because I my wife can be silly sometimes and I want to make sure that I she doesn't screw this up.

After clicking link in the first post, one is directed to a generic FTP welcoming page. On this page a person should click the "download" option sandwiched between "our team" and "how to play". From this download page, one selects windows or mac and downloads, creates a new account, and then pms you the screenname? My Her confusion is that the generic wecloming page has all sorts of mumbo jumbo in the URL, but on the downloading page there is no mumbo jumbo in the URL and I she naively thought the mumbo jumbo was key to the RB.

I She has a hard time chewing gum and walking as well.

Thanks.

So basically you won't recieve the 1st 500 dollars of your rakeback?

No, I think you won't receive the first 27% of the first $500 of your RakeBack.

I'm fairly certain (although I don't have rakeback at Full Tilt) that rakeback goes like this when you have a bonus still with them.

When playing you get 42% of your rakeback through the bonuses that you are clearing. Full Tilt then subtracts that total amount of bonus that you have cleared from the MGR. You then get 27% of what is left of the MGR.

So, if your total rake generated playing that month was 1,000, you would get $420 (1000*.42) in bonus money and $156.6 for rakeback (580*.27=156.6).

Thus, if you have a bonus+rakeback, it is then in effect 57.6% rakeback.

I didn't do the math and I'm not sure where the 42% number came from, but that sounds reasonable to me.

The point is, the "bonus money" - regarding how it reduces your rake - is going to be split between Full Tilt (73%) and you (27%). So you'll still be getting some rake back ON TOP OF the bonus. In other words, it's a good thing.

Sweet deal! But I am really noticing a difference in play from Stars...I mean these guys reraise anything with any kind of draw and nothing at all...so far my hands are holding up though so I guess I can't complain.

What level are you playing? I've always though (and heard) that the play is much softer than Stars.

1/2NL...My CB's were getting reraised significantly more than they usually do at Stars, but who knows long run.

Just to let you know I received the following email from The Hendon Mob today.

"Get 27% Rakeback
On Your Existing Full Tilt Poker Account!

If you already have an active Full Tilt account without rakeback it's
now possible to receive the maximum possible 27% rakeback just by
sending us an email.

Full Tilt have now approved that existing accounts not linked to an
affiliate can be moved to our affiliation and receive rakeback just as
if you had signed up a brand new account.

............ "


Just to let you know, that maybe you'll be able to do the same, for members with an account already who like to sign up under you

{Post Removed}

I believe this IS the case, yes. I've been emailing them about this, literally waiting to hear back.

So...................... for anyone interested, send me your screen name at Full Tilt, and I'll see if I can get you moved over to me.

For those who have sent me PMs so far, I've got them and I'm making a list of usernames. I already emailed the first batch to Full Tilt - just waiting to hear back from them. As much as I love the site, my only complaint is that their affiliate department is very slow to respond to emails (at least to MY emails). I'll let you guys know individually when I hear back from them.

Yeah, something tells me they're probably a wee bit quicker on the draw when the Hendon Mob calls. :D

How about their software is heavy!!!

OK, here is the deal - this is brand new, hence the confusion in the Full Tilt affiliate department (and their slow email responses).

If you already have a Full Tilt account, I can get you switched over to under me if you are not tied to ANY affiliate. If you are tied to ME already, they are still working with me on this, but hope is not lost yet.

What I need from you is the following:
Your Full Tilt screen name, First and Last name, and Email address - this info must match what they have on file for you. If it does, they will tie you to me, and I'll be able to start giving you 27% rakeback.

So, for those who already PM'd once, sorry, but you need to all PM me again with the above info. I'll contact anyone I don't hear from today, but hopefully you guys will all see this message.

SWEET!!!!!!
I have been signed up at FT since the beginning of their beta and never signed up under anyone (I don't even think they had affilaites then).

Bonus Points for passing along this info to you :)

{Quoted Post Removed}

Apparently, the Hendon Mob's mass email was a huge no-no, as was posting it here. As per Full Tilt's affiliate department, this thread is going to be changing shape drastically shortly.

did you get my info I sent you yesterday?

I got all of the PMs that were sent to me, yes. Your names have all been passed on and I was told (today): "I will get to these switchover requests first thing tomorrow." So I should have an answer for each of you tomorrow.

Now I need to go delete a bunch of stuff from this thread which is going to make it really hard to follow...

As I'm going through this thread, "cleaning it up," right now, I realized I never saw this post and didn't respond.

Your assumptions were correct. Don't worry about the mumbo jumbo disappearing from the URL. As you know by now, whatever your wife did worked fine. :thumbsup:

ah shucks, you do care :D

so much for the wasted effort, could have let my wife play on my old account with rakeback if she would have just waited a week. What an impatient bitch!

Hope I didn't get anyone in trouble -- maybe a PM next time would be more appropiate :o

Not your fault at all... Some affiliates were apparently overly aggressive with their marketing (like what you had posted here), and Full Tilt's affiliate department wasn't very happy about it. It's all good.

For those waiting to hear back from me still (PMs), I have been told that I should hear back TODAY, but I'm not getting my hopes up too high. The good news is I was told that if you are moved over under me, you'll be able rakeback for all of your play since October 1st.... so basically, it's no big deal that they have been dragging their feet with this a bit.

I guess they got overwhelmed with requests (from the bigger affiliates), and basically stopped everything, waiting on the CEO for approval of all this.

is there any place where I can check and see how much rakeback ive earned so far?

Or are you the only one who can see that?

I didn't used to be able to see anything. Now I get daily reports. I can't really think of a way to automate this yet (so you can log in somewhere and see your part of the report) - if anyone has any ideas, let me know. In the mean time, I can send you your numbers once in a while if you want me to.

As for EVERYONE else (omahilo was the only one I heard back about right away for some odd reason), I am STILL waiting to hear. Hopefully tomorrow, but I'm not holdoing my breath, as they have pushed this back so many times before. As I said in a previous post though, if you are switched over under me, I should be able to get you RB retroactively, starting on 10/1.

if you can figure out a way for me to get a automated report, that will work out fine...

if not just send me my numbers every once in a while as you get a chance.

I heard back from FT today and I have good news. Everyone who contacted me earlier this month (minus TWO people who were attached to other affiliates) has been moved and will be getting rake back from me.

Individual PMs to follow (give me a little bit).

FYI - While I was told that you guys had been moved over under me, you're not on my reports yet and I don't have any numbers for anyone, so please be patient. It's not going to be realistic for me to send out numbers for everyone every day either. Poker Tracker isn't exact (and it doesn't account for bonus you earn, player fees, etc), but it should give you an idea of what kind of rake you are generating.

For us rackback noobs, can you answer a couple questions... (1) what is the percentage rackback we'll receive, (2) when is it paid out (end of each month), and (3) are there any minimum hand requirements? Thanks.

Dude. Did you even read this thread? I'm pretty sure the first post answers ALL of those questions, but here are the answers again anyway:

1. 27%
2. After the 15th of the following month.
3. You need to earn at least $5 in rakeback to get paid.

haha this was funny.

I gotta make you work for this shit TP.

Don't you have some over-priced tickets to go buy so you can watch your team get worked in person?

haha. thats what u guys have been sayin the whole way huh? anyway, it doesnt look like ill be going :(

That sucks. What happened?

No offence, but mind if we take the JD baseball discussion back to the already existing thread? Thanks.

Sorry boss. And you'll be happy to hear that I re-filled my Alzheimer’s meds this afternoon so no more asked-and-answered questions from the resident old guy.

I received notice today that Full Tilt will no longer be switching players not tied to affiliates to other affiliates for rakeback purposes any more....
