New rakeback promo, gift promo, and other news at PSO!

[dlk9s]

Poker Source Online has recently started some exciting new promotions.

Full Tilt Poker Rakeback

It's been in the works for quite some time now, but finally, PSO is happy to announce that Full Tilt Poker rakeback is now being offered at our site. It's a flat 27% rakeback, no matter how much you play, with the rebate deposited directly into your Full Tilt account once per month. This is for new Full Tilt customers only, play money or real money.

We're double-checking on how bonuses affect rakeback and whether or not tourneys count.

Poker.com Promotion

Poker.com was added as a new promotion a couple weeks ago. I, myself, just completed the promotion and am a big fan of the site. Poker.com has beautiful software and good customer support. It could use some more players, but I am generally able to find enough tables at which to play. Right now, they only offer Hold'em and Omaha, but they have a new software release on the way (this month, supposedly), where they'll add a whole bunch of new games.

The PSO requirements are 5,000 comp points. I play low stakes ($25 NL, 1/2 limit, cheapie S&G's) and it only took me about a week or so of moderate play to complete. Points from tourneys do count.

The deposit bonus is 100% up to $100, with a 25,000 comp point requirement to clear it in its entirety. It is released in 15% increments every 3,750 comp points.

Nevada Jacks for Europe

PSO recently expanded its Party Poker Instant Bankroll promo to several countries worldwide, and now we are thrilled to announce that our European customers can now receive a set of 300 Nevada Jacks chips with no shipping costs or customs fees!

Right now, the upgrade to 500 chips is not available for Europe. Additionally, Nevada Jacks are restricted to one set per European customer.

For more information on the Nevada Jacks to Europe promo, check out the Promotions forum at the PSO website.

DLK --

A little bit ago another forum on 2+2 mentioned that if one did not open a Full Tilt account through an affiliate that it was possible to close it, and re-open an account via an affiliate for rakeback. Is this possible through PSO?

[dlk9s]

Zag,

If I had to say yes or no right now, I'd say no, we can't do that. But, since I'm not sure (I'm not "Mr. Poker Source), I'll check on it for you. Obviously, we'd love to be able to do that for you and others who are not tagged to another affiliate.

Happy birthday, btw!

Thanks for the heads-up. For some reason, FTP didn't give us all the info, so we have to contact them for all the details.

In the meantime, I found out about switching to rakeback.

Full Tilt WILL allow it, as long as you have never been tagged to an affiliate AND your Full Tilt account has not been active for 6 months.

[Zag Nutz]

Blimey, I signed up at FT 8 months ago...

Thanks for checking Dlk...

How about this scenario: I signed up through FT through PSO an eon ago. FT account has been static for a looong time. Would love to switch over to a RB account with PSO.

Heck, I even mentioned in a post here I was willing to pay for the priveledge of getting my account switched to a RB account. A FT rep PMed me on it saying it may be possible.

Is there anything that can be done here? This looks like a win/win for all involved since I do not plan on playing anywhere without RB.

Same situation for me, except that I won't hit my six months for another two months or so. I'd love to know what the situation on this is, dlk9s.

[dlk9s]

Greg and Sand,

We're checking with Full Tilt on that. I'll reply here when we find out definitively.

[GanjaFarmer]

I opened a account on fulltilt this month. How can I get rakeback?? I registered without an other affiliate.

[dlk9s]

Sorry for the delayed response. Here's what I was just told:

"FTP used to allow people to switch for a short period but it was a disaster. They no longer allow it."

[Manchild84]

Snag. I'm in the same boat (signed up through through PSO with the gift, don't play there anymore)... but I would with RB.

Oh well.

[spence79]

So am I. I imagine there are hundreds of us in same situation. I signed up to FT and Abs thru PSO a long time ago before I was rakeback savvy. Now I no longer play at either room. Both rooms refused point blank to switch my account. I can understand that neither the rooms nor PSO wants people to take the piss and sign up for the gift only to switch to rakeback afterwards. But there should be a time period after which it's possible to do something - especially for those of us who signed up before rakeback was a common thing.

That neither the rooms nor PSO can do anything to help us here is insane. I multitable 8+ tables of 10/20 limit up for 40+ hrs a week. That adds up to a lot of money to be made for both Tilt/Abs and PSO if they allowed the switches. Especially when they consider that a lot of you have similar or higher MGR.

By the way I tested absolutes resolve on this by explaining I wouldn't play there at all (hadnt played for over 6 mths anyway) without rakeback and to close my account if there was nothing they could do. Eventually a manager said no way as I'd got a free gift. *shrug*

The stupidest thing is that *WE* are the ones who lose least here. It would be nice to have the freedom to play on these sites. But we can get rakeback elsewhere so all we are losing is some game selection. With this decision its the sites and PSO who are the real losers

[kcheel]

I am in same boat also. I actually just got done emailing FT about it about 30 minutes ago. I signed up with FT earlier this year via PSO and now I want rakeback.

Makes no sense for them not to allow players who are already tracked to PSO switch to rakeback with PSO. I told them I would have no problem with having a negative MGR to work off from the get go to make up for whatever PSO was paid for my referral.

I also will basically never play another hand there without rakeback as long as I have Absolute to play on w/RB. Everybody loses by them not being more helpful regarding this problem.

[Zag Nutz]

I signed up direct through FTP so I never even received a kickback through a site like PSO (stupid me).

I'd like rakeback now too, and also won't play anymore when I can play elsewhere. I'm 95% sure that I will never receive rakeback though, because they aren't going to make any deals for me in the hopes that I will play on their site, regardless of what stakes I play.

People in the affilate dept. at Full Tilt got back to me and were of course were clueless.

They said that Full Tilt didn't pay rakeback to players and that they did not decide who received rakeback or not. That it was up to PSO to decide whether I could get rakeback. Which of course isn't true. Guess I won't be playing there ever again.

[Takshi]

Hey guys realise this is quite old but it's the same for me now, I only had a play money account (never deposited or withdrawn) and they wouldn't close that account so I could make a new one and get rakeback, the affilate people said that I could only have one account no matter what......To me this seems so stupid and I really can't understand it and it's quite annoying I will now find somewhere else to play as I want rakeback.
