That seems to imply you can't get the max bonus by using some other method say Firepay.

[Zag Nutz]

Does it expire in 90 or 120 days like the typical FT bonus?

Appears that way from the text.

And before anyone asks bonuses to not stack at Full Tilt, thus the having to have an empty bonus account to recieve this.

This doesn't mention Neteller at all so it looks like any payment method works.

$500 in bonus would take quite a while to clear methinks.

[hachkc]

I thought FTP gave you like 6mos to clear a bonus? Is this one different for some reason.

[E.Z.]

reloads had been 3 months until now.. but the sign up is 6 months

[solucky]

50 million hands to clear it for me:)

[flafishy]

I like to drop some money into Full Tilt whenever they have a reload. I rarely clear the full bonus, but it does release in increments. So I usually get something decent out of it before it expires. Not bad if you use it as a secondary site or just to fill in the gaps now and then.

[CappyAA]

Well it has to be through Netteller since their max deposit is $1000 through Netteller but $600 through all other avenues. Does anyone know if you can get your Firepay deposit limit increased? I emailed them, but I was just curious. I live in Maryland and don't have the option of Netteller. It sucks that I would get penalized for this.

[Drop a Deuce]

Ok, I know that they don't stack, but I never was able to ever finish the original 100% deposit bonus. It has been much longer than 6 months from when I originally signed up and played for the deposit bonus, so I believe it has elapsed. This means that I am good to go for the reload, right?

Hopefully this joint is not overrun by 2p2 and ho's.

[callmedonnie]

If I withdraw 1k and redeposit is it cool with them? I couldn't find that anywhere in the provisions.

[Hellmouth]

Can anyone give me a good estimate on how long it takes to clear this bonus playing .50/1 or 1/2 limit FR? I have never played at FT but am getting hooked up with RB etc and figure that is where all the fishies will be headed.

If I can clear the $600 signup bonuse before the 20'th then I can do the $500 as well. However I think at this point four tabling that is next to impossible.

Greg

[HSB]

Initial deposit is 120 days (4 mos) and reloads are 60 days.

I just e-mailed them to ask if they could increase my Firepay limit or allow me to make the deposit in two chunks.

I assume the answer is going to be no because I'm assuming that the point of this is to steer more business to Neteller because they're getting a kickback or something.

I believe it is. I think there are only two restrictions. 1st deposit in the reload period and no pending bonus.

Ho's hate Full Tilt because the bonus clears slow and the limit game selection is limited

so wait
can you make this deposit through firepay?

[/ QUOTE ]

Good luck with that unless you play much higher than .5/1 or 1/2 and play a ton.

I have no idea what the clearance rate for those limits are, but I don't think you really any chance of finishing it in 2 weeks.

OK just checked bonus whores and it looks like the initial signup clears at roughly $1-2/hour/table (depending on .50/1 or 1/2). Assuming the worst that is 600 table hours or 150 hours 4 tabling! Thats 18,000 hands which is definately more then two weeks worth of work. (more like 2 months for me) But I guess 150 hours is only 75 hours/week. I'll just quit my job. LOL

Greg

[E.Z.]

to those of you who haven't played full tilt. there bonus amounts to a 13 x's bonus on a site like poker-room.

game selection isn't terrible
full ring is 9 man tables
ALL INS- you can see each others cards before the board is finished
bonus realeased in $20 chunks
you can reload if your old one elapsed
players are not as tight as poker-room and aren't great players but not as poor as pacific players either

[Dangergirl]

I cleared the initial $600 bonus at FTP playing 400NL and it was not as bad as I expected. I recall UB's bonus being more painful. I can imagine it would be pretty slow at anything lower then 200NL.

[/ QUOTE ]
FTP is fine for higher limits, since you can clear as much as 18c worth of bonus per hand proportional to how much rake is taken.

UB has a higher rakeback equivalency at lower limits ($1/2 and below), but cleared bonus is capped at 5c per hand.

[Darkplate]

Since most FT bonuses are handed out in 20$ chunks, it's probably not a problem to worry about clearing all of it.

Just play as much as you usually do and when time runs out, you have what you have.

[Little_Luck]

FT bonuses are an insult to all of us. Although, in the future we may be getting lots of "When's the next FT reload?" threads.

[Wubbie075]

I guess this is off topic, but since this has become a "how quick do FTP bonuses clear?" thread and game selection has come up I'll attempt a short hijack...

how is their selection of low limit (like .50/1 or 1/2?) Omaha/8 games? many tables going? tight or lose?

[Yaboosh]

Seeing as how the FT reloads are around every 2 months anyway, just think of it as rakeback.

[The_Bankroll]

Sweetness. I'll do this if I can finish up the sign-up bonus b4 the 20th. Still have about $460 to go, but I've been clearing $20-$40 a day, so I should be able to.

[/ QUOTE ]

Very very few tables.

[metsandfinsfan]

and withdrawls before bonus clears is okay right?

[E.Z.]

from what i gather, most people just like to play at full tilt and win there among whores. a 13x's poker room bonus kinda sucks but the layout is easier on the eyes.

full ring can be painful at times though on full tilt as the "clock to act" seems too long. and many players make the hands per hour seem much lower than other sites.

there is enough game selection and will be more soon with new players coming in by the hundreds.

it you play low limit or low NL you will find out very quickly that this bonus clears at prob 20% the speed of a party or paradise reload.

withdrawal before clearing is fine

[sonartec]

Guys Make sure you have Rakeback when playing with this bonus, whilst the bonus is deducted from MGR you stake make money with rakeback, i just cleared $1200 in FT sign up bonus not so long ago, and that combined with rakeback was equivilent to about 55-60% rakeback, and i think the rake at FT is slightly lower than party.


"Ok, I know that they don't stack, but I never was able to ever finish the original 100% deposit bonus. It has been much longer than 6 months from when I originally signed up and played for the deposit bonus, so I believe it has elapsed. This means that I am good to go for the reload, right?"

Yes you should be good to go.

Also be aware there is no disconnect protect at all on FT so keep that in mind.

can anyone confirm this? because I'm about to do it, but can wait a few days until another cashout clears neteller.

[MicroBob]

Yeah, a couple reloads ago I made a deposit and barely got around to clearing any of it.

On my 'bonus account' page at FT it still had that bonus listed even though under 'valid to' it said August 27. So obviously it had long since expired (no idea if I would still be able to clear it if I tried but I am assuming not).

I just deposited the $1000 for the reload.
The old bonus has disappeared from the page and the new $500 bonus now shows on my bonus account page.

Expires on Dec 5. But since it releases in $20 increments and there's probably a good chance they will offer another reload before then anyway (continuing to try to grab up customers) I'm not particularly worried about it.

Will clear as much or as little of it depending on my mood.

[bkellog1]

I also have an expired bonus that still appears on the bonus account. Microbob, so the new bonus was valid for you? How long do you have to wait before withdrawing the money u deposit for the bonus??

[E.Z.]

might be able to cash out sooner but i usually cashout the next day

Same exact situation for me, so I'd like to hear if Microbob was explicitly offered a bonus or if he just knew it was supposed to be there and it showed up.

I don't know anyone there or anything, I just play there a lot. It can't hurt to ask them and see what happens.

It still said there was a $600 max when I went to the cashier but when I submitted the $1000 it went through fine.

Ok, I just noticed that max deposit with Firepay is $600. Can I up that to $1000 somehow? I have been with Full Tilt for a while, and have never had any problems depositing/withdrawing. I would like to think I've been a good customer as well. I live in Maryland where I cannot get Netteller, and it just sucks that I would have to get penalized for that.

When I e-mailed them I mentioned I wanted it up specifically to max the bonus. Perhaps mentioning that would help.

[rowdyclassmate]

They should up the limits based on your play, not because you want to fully capitalize on a bonus. To the poster who earned 60k pts in 8 months, I'm sure you are set at max limits.

[gimmetheloot]

I dunno why all the whining about the bonus. If it clears at the same rate as the deposit bonus, 4 tabling 50NL knocked that out in 2 weeks.
