Full Tilt RakeBack!

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.

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.

ah shucks, you do care

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!

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

Talking Poker · #8 09-30-06, 08:10 PM

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.
