Hi everyone,

I am new to this site. I have been playing online poker for a while now. Started with Party, added Stars and then Titan. I am looking to start an account with Full Tilt.

I started a thread on another Forum about rake. Someone suggested that I look into this site before I commit through any affiliate link.

I did the example based on my play and it looks like I would get $50-60 per month from rakeback. - approx $200 rake taken x 27%. I have a few questions that both other members and support are encouraged to answer.

1. Is this working out as expected?

2. For Titan I signed up through another affiliate. They offer $5000. monthly freerolls, WSOP freerolls etc. I have made quite a bit of money in these freerolls over the last year as the fields are quite small. - No WSOP package yet though! Is the rakeback better than the perks provided from other affiliates?

3. Would Full Tilt treat you poorly by offering less Reloads and other promotions because they know you're getting rakeback already?

4. Am I giving up anything else at Full Tilt by signing up through rakeback? eg. different point structure

5. Is there a minimum level of play to be eligible to receive the monthly rakeback? eg. .25/.50 tables, minimum $50/$100/ $200 etc. before rakeback cuts a cheque?

I would appreciate a candid response to the above. I have heard many stories about players wishing they signed up through this or that affiliate because they didn't know any better and didn't know what they were giving up. My understanding is once you sign up through an affiliate you are with them for life.

I'm Canadian. When I started Party and Stars I went directly to their site to sign up and I know I have missed some opportunities because of that.


Thanks

Hi allthatremains,

1. Yes you will get 27% monthly from the generated Rake. If you will generate 200$ in Rake then yes you will get $54 in rakeback.

Your 27% rakeback is based on Full Tilt Net Rake. Below is the actual formula used by Full Tilt to calculate your net revenue:
Rake + Tournament Fees – Bonus – Player Added – Used Points – Player Fees - Fraud = Net Rake

Your rakeback is 27% of Net Rake

Legend:
Rake - Money earned while playing in ring games
Tournament Fees - Fees a player pays when joining a tournament
Bonus – Bonuses a player earns
Player Added – Money Full Tilt has to add to tournaments. For example, if there is a $10,000 guaranteed tournament and Full Tilt only gets enough buy ins for $9,000, they split the remaining $1,000 by the players in the tournament.
Used Points – Full Tilt Points used on the site or in the store are deducted at a rate of $0.005 per point.
Player Fees – Transaction fees when players deposit money onto the site
Fraud - Bad credit etc.

2. We do not have WSOP freerolls here on our website but we got other freerolls monthly and daily. And they are open to all the Rakeback.com registered users. So you can participate in them already

3,4.

3. Would Full Tilt treat you poorly by offering less Reloads and other promotions because they know you're getting rakeback already? Am I giving up anything else at Full Tilt by signing up through rakeback? eg. different point structure

All the Full Tilt players are treated the same no matter if the they have rakeback or not. If I am wrong then founder of Rakeback.com Mollila will correct me.

5.

Is there a minimum level of play to be eligible to receive the monthly rakeback? eg. .25/.50 tables, minimum $50/$100/ $200 etc. before rakeback cuts a cheque?

No if you generate rake we pay you rakeback. It is paid monthly directly to your poker account. And the minumum rakeback amount paid must be not less than 5$.

My understanding is once you sign up through an affiliate you are with them for life.

Yep thats right you cant get out of the system

Tony already gave you a thorough response.

If you open a Full Tilt rakeback account through us, you will also get access to our online Rake Tracking service, where you can view your daily rake and expected rakeback.
