Are you only able to do this reload if it's the first reload you've ever done on Full Tilt or what? I did the last reload and am just about finishing it up...will this reload work for me? (BTW, I do understand that I need to clear the first reload before reloading)

"Just make your first redeposit during our reload period..."

It means that your first deposit while the reload perdiod is going is the only one you will get a bonus on. Basically if you only deposit 100, you'll get 50 bonus. You cannot deposit another 500 and get the other 250 in bonus.

Not your "first" as in first ever on the site deposit.

No, it still applies to you once you're done with the other.

no. You have to finish the deposit bonus first.

Which is stupid since a stackable bonus would just mean that you are at thier site for longer.

Do you have to get the email in order to get this reload bonus? I have an account there, but never got the email.

Just a question...Could I take $600 out of my FT acct and than put in back in to get this bonus? Or would that not work?

Also, does anybody know how much more this bonus is worth than just playing for 27% rakeback? I have no idea how to do this kind of math.

Bonus + rakeback is roughly equivalent to 71% rakeback at ring games.

so are you saying it isnt even worth it to do the reload bonus? ie im losing 29% of what I would make just using rakeback?

Or are you saying that the reload + RB = RB + 71% RB again....or ill just be getting 71% more than I would just using the 27% RB.

rakeback alone - 27% rakeback
rakeback + bonus ~ 71% rakeback

Can you deposit, withdraw after a day or two (48 hrs?), and then redeposit in the near future to play it off? I think you have 60 days(?) to get this reload done?

these mother effing bonuses take a long time to clear...if you're a low limit grinder like 2/4 below...better off going absolute.

no way this is right.

tilt subtracts bonus from rakeback ... and charges you deposit fees as well

no way bonus is = 71% rb

At full ring you are getting 1 point for each $1 in noncontributed rake. That means that through the bonus (which clears at $1 per 16.67 pts) you are getting 60% nonconibuted rakeback through the bonus. Add onto that 27% rakeback on your remaining 40% MGR and you get 10.8% rakeback.

Hence at full ring, 70.8% noncontributed rakeback.
Using the same math, at 6-max you are getting 53.3% noncontributed rakeback.

This of course does not accord for deposit fees. Have a nice day.

Maybe it's just too damn early in the morning, but can you explain to me why it's different at six max?

HSB

I worked it out just in case anyone is wondering, it's because your MGR is being calculated differently.

Full ring would get you one $.06 bonus and $.11 MGR for each dollar in rake at your table and the six max tables would be $.06 bonus and $.16 in MGR.

So at the full ring tables you're getting paid rakeback on a higher percentage of your MGR.

Now just so I am clear, even though you are getting a higher % of your MGR at full ring, everything else being equal you are still making more money at 6-max as your MGR will be higher total no? ie. If there is $1 in rake at full ring you get MGR for 1/9th of it or 11% while in 6 max you get credit for 1/6th or 16%. So even though it is a higher % at full ring it is still less as 6 max is a lower % of a higher amount?

No I don't think you have it straight.

If you play 100 hands at each limit and $1 is raked from each pot, the same amount is raked from each table, $100. But, your MGR on the 9 handed table will be $11.1, while your MGR on the 6-max table will be $16.7. You will clear the same amount of bonus on each. You will earn a bit more rakeback on the short handed table, but inherently that means you paid more rake. Your thinking is essentially the same as the fallacy that you'd make more money if the rake was increased because you'd get more rakeback.

Miyogi

I think I must have miscommunicated. The earlier posts, by giving a higher number make it seem at first glance that you are getting more rakeback by playing full ring. I was trying to figure out if that was the case or not. My point was not that it is better to play 6-max because of more rakeback but merely that everything else being equal I will receive more in rakeback at 6-max (acknowledging that I did pay more in rake at those tables).
