Rakeback for Existing Players on Full Tilt!

[otbdave]

Anyone who is even a fairly high volume player on Full Tilt is going to be excited about this...

I have been burned up for quite some time that I could not get rakeback on Full Tilt because I pay a TON of money in rake to that site. (currently ~$650 per month) I entertained the idea of demanding rakeback from them or I would leave, but I never really went through with the idea because I never intended to leave. (it would be a stone cold bluff)

Anyways, I heard from my buddy Hoops that he got offered rakeback for his existing player account on Full Tilt. I was pretty skeptical and he is not the type to lie, but he made it sound like it was some sort of special or lucky situation that only applied to him. He pointed me to a thread on twoplustwo.com and I went on to read all about it.

Anyways, I will save you all the research... Anyone that has an account on Full Tilt and does not already have rakeback is eligible to receive rakeback as long as they didn't sign up through another affiliate. Even if the player did sign up through another affiliate they may still be eligible. This rakeback deal is a promotion through a website called rakebackpros.

All you have to do to get the rakeback is send a polite email to support@fulltiltpoker.com as well as an email to support at RakeBackPros - Welcome to RakeBackPros!. It is not necessary to "demand" rakeback or threaten to leave.

You should first get an email saying you have been added to some sort of list and will be considered for future rakeback. Eventually, you will receive rakeback, and they even pre-dated my rakeback 45 days before I received the email that I got rakeback.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me, you will receive 27% rakeback through rakebackpros. I am in no way affiliated with rakebackpros, this is strictly for the players benefit.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Full Tilt Poker.

Full Tilt does not pay players rakeback directly. There are a number of
rakeback affiliates who offer players up to 27% rakeback if they sign up
to Full Tilt Poker through their site.

Please note that this is not an issue which can be solved by opening
another account with Full Tilt Poker, it is against our site policy to
open more than one account. Though you could cease using your account,
we do not remove it from our system, nor do we freeze accounts in order
for players to create new ones.

However, we do value your continued support of Full Tilt Poker, and we
are currently looking into organizing something that will help players
who are not already attached to an affiliate. We have added your
username to our files for further consideration. Please be patient.

If there's anything else we can help you with, please don't hesitate to
ask.

Best of luck on the tables!

Kind Regards,

Edouard

Full Tilt Poker is trying to accommodate players who have previously
been unable to get rakeback. Currently they are testing a small amount
of players with us, and hopefully we will be able to handle more in the
coming months. We just recently were able to move a few players that
they sent emails to. I will keep your player ID and request you be put
on the next list if they allow us to service any further players. The
next step will be to wait until you get an email from Full Tilt Poker
about us.

Regards,

If you have any questions, please contact support@rakebackpros.com for assistance.

Your FullTilt player account is now registered with rakebackpros to
receive rakeback. You will receive rakeback from the 1st of June and we
pay your rakeback directly into your player account every month. We
usually pay rakeback between the 6th and 10th of every month for the
previous month depending on when FullTilt pay us our commission.

Regards,

Joe

I know they say a lot about being a "select group of loyal players", however, from my research is appears that just about everyone from 2+2 that has bitched about getting rakeback has eventually gotten what they asked for...

The turnaround time seems to be anywhere from 2-16 weeks...

Dave,
Thanks for the info. I hadn't played cash online for awhile because it seemed like I was barely breaking even with the current competition online. If I can get close to a third of all the rake I am paying back, that should make it quite a bit more tempting for me to play cash games again online.

This is great news!

I was very interested in last months online poker pro magazine when a pro (not a big name) was interviewed he said whatever site you are on if you are currently recieving no bonus for playing there email them and ask for rakeback. Obviously this player generates probably 20 times the rake I do, but he also said he had emailed numerous sites and almost always gets it. He says if you play a lot ASK. Until now I had pretty much forgot about this and at the moment Im still clearing a bonus at Cake but when I have cleared it I will be asking. Suppose it never hurts to ask, this thread could be very profitable to bbs members

I just finished my bonus, if you see otbdave on Cake this month it is my roommate so be sure to say hi. He plays .25/.50 on my account and I take half of his action.

I am at .50/1.00 on cake right now but I am working on a huge bonus on Tilt this month so you won't see me on Cake, just maybe my screenname
