Full Tilt needs to reward their high rake players
 

They need to do something besides this iron man thing. I am so frustrated that players that do not play at all for about six months all of a sudden get a 300 dollar bonus. Now i understand that they need and want new players but how about something for their big time rake makers.

Iron man is no more than fair. I get my medals but so what. They really do not have a great value and there seems to be far better rewards at poker stars. ANd please do not tell me rakeback is something that the site does because all sites offer rakeback except stars.

Any ideas? and what about throwing a bonus our way once in a while FULL TILT?

agree

Re: Full Tilt needs to reward their high rake players
 

ya really I dont play there cuz I dont have rakeback if they had a vip system as good as stars I would play there instead of playing completely at stars

Re: Full Tilt needs to reward their high rake players
 

they keep on sending me emails (until last week) offering me bonuses to get me to play to ftp.

in the meantime, i'll keep playing at party.

Re: Full Tilt needs to reward their high rake players
 

how is rakeback not an incentive?

only reason stars has the VIP the way they do is because they are making up for a lack of rakeback

Re: Full Tilt needs to reward their high rake players
 

not everyone can get rakeback.

Re: Full Tilt needs to reward their high rake players
 

Open 8 accounts so you constantly get bonuses.

Re: Full Tilt needs to reward their high rake players
 

If you keep playing there, FT would be idiots for giving u anything

OMG....................





I semi agree with Omahahiloking what is the world coming too.....

Re: Full Tilt needs to reward their high rake players
 

one thing they could do for high rake people is set up their fpp points system better.

For one make the items not overly priced like the 24" monitor costs around 900 when you can buy it knew in stores for 450$ when we pay from our rake back almost 300. Most items in the store are like this ipods are about the only thing that isnt at the moment.

They could also allow bonus' to be bought from their points.

Ive never under stood why they don't make a points system copying to an extent PS. All the items hit MGR so it seems like it wouldn't hurt them much and would allow people that don't have rake back to get something similar.

Re: Full Tilt needs to reward their high rake players
 

I definitely agree with this.

Right now Stars offers the best deal without a doubt for high-volume players.

The more rake you pay, the more rewards (percentage-wise) you should get.

Full Tilt should put in some kind of milestone bonuses OR make their Iron Man promotion actually worth something.

Re: Full Tilt needs to reward their high rake players
 

You guys don't get it. FT won't do anything because you guys continue to make them a butt load of cash without them trying. I'm personally moving to Stars in January, but it has nothing to do with Tilt rewarding me for my high rake.

Yeah, I'd love it if like, they doubled our FTP points, or something. I mean, it helps FTP anyways because they take out of our MGR, and it also makes us play more because there's an incentive (I'll make it to the biggest TV [which I want] in like 8 months and that's ridiculous).

No it doesn't help them. They give away a $100 item but only save a percentage of that in affiliate payments.

Yeah I guess it doesn't but who cares, they're pulling in way too much a month to not offer a bonus or something for us.

Re: Full Tilt needs to reward their high rake players
 

I agree Full Tilt should do more for their high rake players. FTPDoug said they had something in the works to be reveiled at the end of this month. I hope it is worth it. If not I will also be heading over to Stars Jan. 1st as long as they run a similar promotion to the one they had this year.

Re: Full Tilt needs to reward their high rake players
 

Yea, Im thinking FT will loses many players to stars Jan 1.

Re: Full Tilt needs to reward their high rake players
 

what happens jan 1st?

Re: Full Tilt needs to reward their high rake players
 

I play at Stars.

If Full Tilt offered their high-volume players a better deal, I might consider it. But right now it's not even close.

Re: Full Tilt needs to reward their high rake players
 

I'm not really that unhappy w/ FTP in general. I get rakeback and it's great. I'd love a higher rakeback % and stuff like store items not coming out of my MGR, but like I said, I'm not that unhappy with the way things are.

I'd much rather they take the extra rake money they're taking in from a player like me and invest it in things like more staff for better support, more developers for faster software updates, more lobbyists to help impact the US legislation situation, and more advertising to attract more new players.

Back in the day, Party Poker had basically the worst support ever, each software update was a miserable disaster for the first few days on a totally different scale from the FTP updates and they had no official rakeback. But, they spent a ton of money on advertising and that's why they had the best and most games around. I would certainly trade all the extras for more and better games as a result of advertising and/or changes to US legislation.

You make some good points. I agree with a lot that you said. However, Full Tilt should at the very least make sure that their high rake players get the largest bonuses when they offer them. When they give out bonuses to the low rake players, no rake players, and do not offer their high rake players anything its a little bit of a slap in the face. Regarding Party, they did give their regulars larger bonuses and then added the VIP club later on. I do not remember them ever offering a low volume player a higher bonus then a high volume player. I could be wrong though.

I would like Full Tilt to offer their high rake players a challenge like Stars does in which they are rewarded substantially for a lot of play.

Re: Full Tilt needs to reward their high rake players
 

BULL [censored]----in any other casino in the world they reward the high limit players and try to convince low limit players to join with different types of incentives. The high limit players are the ones with the free food and rooms not the players who have never gambled. Well when the day comes and it legalized and there are 30 different sites out there we will see where the players are going to go. I will bet when that happens they will allow everyone to get rakeback. (I already get rakeback) But i will remember the nothing i got from them besides a [censored] Iron man medal. give me a break!!!

While I've never stepped foot in a casino, I'm pretty sure that high limit poker players don't get special treatment.

Re: Full Tilt needs to reward their high rake players
 

sure they do ---reduced price rooms as well as free meals and decent comps. obvioiusly not like a craps player or slot player. But enough. And i am talking about BJ or craps players. our industry is only poker!

Re: Full Tilt needs to reward their high rake players
 

Small stakes players get these too.

You're right. If those players start playing casino games though, they start getting the red carpet rolled out for them.
