Full Tilt store and MGR - what a joke!

[Push_Fold]

So after closing up shop last month at FTP I had some points left to use and ordered the fancy shmancy stool, a super cool sweatshirt, and that hilariously funny stress toy.

Since I haven't played there for a month I decided to see what they charged my empty rakeback account and was astonished to see that cheap junk was priced at $110 worth of MGR. Hilarious!! [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Nothing's for free.

But thanks for the heads up, I won't be buying any senseless crap like I did on Party [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I'm a bit confused.. that stuff in the FT store isn't like Stars where you just use the points to pay for them?

[KurtSF]

So they would have charged you $30 for all that crap? Including shipping? Sounds cheap to me.

It's in the TOS... So really no biggie....
I believe playing in the Ironman freeroll sgoes against you MGR also... There is an opt out list....

It's "free" if you don't get rakeback. They deduct the "price" from the MGR reported to your affiliate, so you effectively pay whatever rakeback % you get of whatever they say the price is in reduced rakeback.

For example, say I get a $250 iPod from the FT store and my RB site pays me 27% (these are just example numbers). Full Tilt reports $250 less in rake than I actually paid to whatever affiliate I signed up with, and they in turn pay me 27% of $250 less that month. The iPod effectively costs me $67.50 that I otherwise would have gotten that month.

When you get the merchandise, can you PM me and give me your opinion? I'm thinking about getting 3x stools and a stress toy.

Yes this is how it's done, just didn't want to write that much WD!

What if the item is worth more than your rakeback for the month? Like the big screen or something expensive. Will they accumulate it(the value) over the next few months?
