noob: getting back online after a year
 

I used to play some online before the law changes on PartyPoker, but ended up just playing cash games at the local Indian casino over the last 6 months or so. So I no longer have an active cash account online.

I started the epassporte steps 3 days ago to get cash into an account, probably be active in 10-14 long days after that's all through.

if anyone here would like to give suggestions I'd appreciate it:

I'm looking at starting a new account online with (likely) Full Tilt unless you have a better place.

What's the best way to optimize my first deposit and get rakes back? is there anyone that I can also help here get some kind of bonus for referral?

I also prefer to use my Mac, so OS X friendly programs are best, although I do have a couple of PCs around too.

thanks for the help!

-Full Tilt has a deposit bonus for 100% of up to $600.
-TP(Talking Poker) offers rake back here, here is the thread for that....



-For friend's refferal, I can help you out with that, just PM me your name Email address that you are gonna use for full tilt and select the 100/25 deal, Good Luck!

I agree with the first two points here, but I'm not sure about the third. I THINK (and I'm not 100% sure here) that you need to either sign up through my link for rakeback OR do the friend referral bonus thing. I don't think you can do both. I'm not positive (feel free to email FT to confirm), but I know this is how it works on every other site I've dealt with before.

If you use my link and it asks for a referral or bonus code, you're supposed to use TPF - If you do the friend referral, I think you won't be under me and then no rakeback.

I'd definitely suggest sticking with the instructions I laid out . It's really not worth risking not having RB for a small one time bonus.

P.S. Full Tilt (with 27% RB and a nice first deposit bonus) is an excellent place for you to start growing your online roll.

thank you for the replies.

i can't believe i am STILL waiting for the deposits to verify. talk about the slowest service I've ever encountered online. :donkey
