Will the Full Tilt Iron man bonuses effect our rakeback?

[steelwheel1982]

Full Tilt offered a year end bonus for players depending on how often they qualified for certain levels
of their iron man promotion.

I think it was something like $100 for every month in Iron, $75 for gold, $50 for silver and $25 for bronze. To release this bonus, players had to earn x number of full tilt points in relation to the size of their bonus and once they earned the required amount, the bonus was released into their accounts.

Will this effect our rakeback totals for January?

This is a reply from Full Tilt about using medals to buy cash bonuses:

If a player uses medals to buy a cash bonus then this works in the same way a deposit bonus would work so that would count as a bonus deduction.

But I am not aware if this applies to the situation you brought up. Have you yourself released any that kind of bonus yet? There are no bonus deductions in your Full Tilt rakeback so far in Jan or Dec.

No, these Bonuses will not affect rakeback. This is according to FTPDoug, a FullTilt rep, on another forum.

This is an exception to the rule; as nearly all bonuses count against rakeback. However, FullTilt has said this bonus is different.

Ah good, thanks.

Yes, I received a $625 bonus and have had that released into my account already, so I would expect it would have shown up if there were to be deductions.

What if you use the medals to buy the $26/$75 tourney tokens? Does that get deducted too?

Here is a response from Full Tilt about Iron Man medals and tournaments:

The medals that are used to gain entry into a tournament will not effect a players rakeback. But if the player uses the medals for entry into a guaranteed tournament and the guarantee isn't met then it will go down under Player Added.
