Fulltiltpoker $10k Activity Freeroll

[bowlaman]

Thrash dont ever bash rakeback.com they do everything they can. Everyone gets there money eventually. I dont see why everyone wants to blame them. ITS NOT THERE FAULT. If FTP or UB or any other site doesnt send them the right info or all of the info. Then they have nothing saying that you played as long as you did and they then in turn cant pay the rackback. If any of you want to ever bitch. Please do it to costomer support at your poker site. Rackback is a free bonus for all of us and its FREE MONEY to add to our bankroll. Sow them alittle respect for all the hard work they do to help us keep playing and having fun. Rackback has been like family to me. If you respect them and post good topics and play loyally like me and many others then you will see you are not getting skrewed.

well I actually think this one has a more positive title but thats just me.

Wasnt bashing I know its on FTP.

[IFixlexus]

if you got over 10k in FTP you clearly did not play just to get in the 300 activity point free roll. get real.

Am I lost here or does it seem odd that people are complaining about a FREEROLL. Technically, I was elligable for this promotion as well. I wasn't allowed to play for whatever reason. Maybe some technical error, whatever. So effin what. It's a poker freeroll. A FREEROLL! You're not out any money if you play, youre not out any money if you don't.
Grow up people and get a life. There's a lot more serious things to argue about than not potentially getting FREE money that you may potentially have been able to get.
I hope I'm not alone in this matter. Who in the world thought they were entitled to getting some of the money they pay the poker sites to play there back (hence...rakeback???)

Think about the big picture here people. really.

We know it was alot to do with ftp,,,and not rakeback.However.....why should only a few get in it,and not the rest,is why pple are mad,but it is over with,and done.So let it go.but if you want answers,,,,put it to you like this..if you had 3 kids,and only 2 were invited to a family dinner party,and the other wasn't,,you would be a bit upset,,,,well we are all a part of rakeback,so there for all should be invited,is why ppl are mad,and some have the right to be.I bet you play in the freerolls,,so if you stopped being allowed,,then you might be on here wondering why ????.So before keeping the fuel going,,,step back and see if it is worth the fight.People were upset that day,and had a right to be,,but this is well over,and forgotten,,so let it GO.

Obviously you play for fun and entertainment and this isn't about making money for you.

Yes it's a freeroll. You're right, I never play those $50 freerolls where I need to compete with 8k other players to win $8 for first prize. But this case is much different. You're talking about over $2k for first prize in a limited field. Less than 200 participants for that much money is a big deal. I don't care if you are a high stakes player or not, but you cannot argue that not being able to participate in this is a loss in expected value. If you disagree, you obvious do not grasp the concept of expected value and I cannot expect to argue with you logically on this issue.

This isn't "free" as in you getting a free refrigerator magnet in the mail. This is like the state giving you a free powerball ticket for this weeks lottery as a goodwill gesture because they had a tax/budget surplus this quarter.

I realize it's not rakeback.com's fault at this point. However, as they represent me and I am the one making them money, I'd expect a bit more work on their end to resolve this with Full Tilt instead of just telling me to wait for the next one.

it happened two weeks ago.

[EliminateU]

now, but i thought i read that it didn't go well because few players got the memo, and that they were going to have another one for the rest of us. is this correct?

Not to my knowledge. Neither rakeback.com nor Full Tilt have confirmed a second freeroll. Not to say it can't happen in the future but nothing has been announced yet.

[IFixlexus]

Did any of the people that are continuosly complaining, or trying to rationalize why complaining is okay only play to 300 points so they would get into this freeroll?
Just wondering if they were trying to makes ends meet with this freeroll or not.

Earning potential and expected value are things I both understand and neither of the two belong in this thread Infinii. Don't bother wasting your time explaining it.

I do know that the day I posted that, I just read bash post after bash post with the victims either being Fulltiltpoker.com or Rakeback.com

Then I started thinking about the bottom line, which is that people are whining over money that technically isn't owed to them.

Let's think about all those freerolls you HAVE participated in. Does it make sense to bash the same people that have sponsored your freerolls time and again when one doesn't work out?

If you'll see, I made an initial post about the activity freeroll (I must have made it in the wrong section because it got moved) but I was curious as to why I did not get invited. Never got a response, but since it's a freeroll, oh well. Can't complain about free money.....or I guess you can.

Sorry, but I have to agree with infinii on this one.

FREEROLL OR NOT, if someone is eligible to play in a tourney, why should some be "lucky" enough to get in when others cant.

I was "lucky" enough to play in this one, although I didn't cash.

I play fairly low limits as my game slowly improves. I try to take advantage of any edge I can while I try to build my bankroll (freerolls, reloads, double/triple points playing times, first deposit matches etc.)

Rake takes a large percentage of my profits at these low levels and when I can enter a freeroll like this with exceptional value ($10,000/150 or so field =$60-$70 buy-in value) I look at it as a return of some of the rake I paid.

All every player is asking here is if they are eligible to play, please set the tourney up correctly so that the eligible players get notified properly and can enter it as easily as any other MTT with a real money buy-in.

Hey all
is this tournament taking place every month or was the one from october exceptional?

So if you are making a comfortable living in your dayjob and I offered you $5k USD for free, you wouldn't take it? This has nothing to do with making ends meet. I play more than enough, enough that I don't even follow how many points I generate per month because it's more than enough and it's of nominal value for me to even keep track of.

Victim of what? Surely you're not implying I made a mistake in which these two organizations are suffering from. Victim of my bashing b/c you think I'm dragging their names through the dirt? Sorry but reread the threads, they have admitted to a fault on their end and are not willing to compensate us for it.

I have never said that I was owed money and that they should simply credit my account for x dollars as a result of their error. I'm not bitching about money owed to me. I'm bitching about the CHANCE which is without question, owed to myself and several others.

Yeah you have a good point. Your boss pays you every single week...but missed one week last month, no need to bitch there.

You can complain. You choose not to that's your loss. Would you complain if the only person who received an entry to that freeroll were the immediate family members of the Rakeback.com | Helping Online Poker Players Save Money since 2004 owners? Yeah, a bit drastic analogy but applicable nonetheless.
