FT Reload Bonus vs. Rakeback

[kaboshedx]

Hi All,

I just signed up for the 50% reload bonus at Full Tilt. I have no rakeback on this account right now.

Does anybody know what the bonus equates to as far as a rakeback percentage at 3/6 LHE?

Also, am I correct in that even if I had rakeback right now - the bonus would be subtract from whatever rakeback I would be entitled to?

thanks,
KABO.

The bonus would be subtracted from your MGR not your rakeback.

You get six cents of bonus per dollar raked at your table so at six max that's about 36% of your MGR returned and at full ring, it's about 54%.

You'd be much better off with bonus and rakeback. If you didn't sign up under an affiliate there's a chance you can get switched over to a rakeback affiliate

I signed up under Poker SOurce for a free PT so apparently I cannot get rakeback under my existing account.

Could you elaborate on this a bit?

I got the following e-mail from the affiliate through which I get Full Tilt rakeback:

If you have an existing account on Full Tilt Poker, and it
is NOT YET setup for 27% rakeback, you have to read on!!

We might be able link your existing Full Tilt account to
RakeBreak.com! That means you will get 27% rakeback on
your Full Tilt account every month, including October. Of
course, we cannot promise anything at this point. However,
if your account is not already linked to another affiliate,
you will have an excellent chance of getting linked to us!

Simply send an email to admin@rakebreak.com with subject
line 'Existing Full Tilt Account'. And the following:

Line 1) Your first & last name
Line 2) Your Full Tilt Poker Screen Name
Line 3) The e-mail address that you used upon registering
your Full Tilt Poker account

[Please ONLY write 3 lines of text, and do NOT label any
of the lines]

Feel free to tell all of your friends about this incredible
opportunity, too -- but please do NOT discuss rakeback at
the tables! Please allow a few days for Full Tilt to get
back to us on whether or not your account is able to be
transferred to us for rakeback. We will send you an email
as soon as we hear back from them.

Of course, you may always contact us with any questions.

I would imagine other affiliates can do this as well.

I got a similar email from Rake The Rake. I'm already set up with them however. If you don't have rake back here (I think Absolute is offering the same thing as well) you might as well try to switch over to one of these affiliates. I'm thinking some affiliates may take the 1 time referral bonus, which might leave you eligible for rake back. This seems like it'd be a bad idea for an affiliate to operate this way, but who knows. I don't know if it would work like this even if they did operate that way. Still worth a try. I can't believe I used to play without rakeback.
