Re: Full Tilt and the PPA...FINALLY A GREAT IDEA
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Are you sure it's $1200 for a $1000 donation? If so, it doesn't seem like a ripoff if you look at it from the standpoint that they're giving you the same $200 for $100 bonus then your money back for the $900 you donate over and above that amount. On the email I received it appeared they simply gave you your money back ($1000). [/ QUOTE ] Yep, it says you have to donate $1k to get the $1200 bonus. I don't quite get what you mean [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]. I still feel like it's kind of a rip off; you have to accumulate 20k poker points to receive it. Sounds like quite a lot, I haven't played yet on FT so I have no idea how long it takes to accumulate it. It would've been a different matter if they gave PPA $5 and the player $1 for every 100 points the player accumulated, which would give the same result after 20k points ($200 for the player and $1k for PPA). Now the player has to pull $1k out of his/her own pocket. [/ QUOTE ] The bonus is obv to fund the PPA in the fight against the US Government for legalization of Internet Poker and a work around of "legal issues" of a foreign company(FTP) making contrubutions to a domestic lobbying group.. FTP is simply reimbursing its players for contributing to the PPA..This is the same thing Party did way back when..

Re: Full Tilt and the PPA...FINALLY A GREAT IDEA
I agree that it's a lot both in donation and required points to collect the bonus. It's definitely targeted at the FT regulars who know they accumulate 20K+ points every month. I'm not one of those so I'm in for $100. This article helped in the decision.

Time is up! How many participated in this promotion? I didn't, too much hassle plus I'm clearing another bonus on another site right now. [/ QUOTE ] I think they extended the promo to the 22th actually. Question: How long does it take for the money to appear in your bonus account?

Go to Cashier, click on My Promotions, and on that webpage click the top PPA Bonus banner. That page will tell you your status. Once I cleared it, the money hit my account very quickly, in less than an hour.

I did the $100 donation the first day it was offered, just cleared enough points to get my $200 bonus -- they put it right into my account -- nice. [/ QUOTE ] Hmm, I might do this one as well. So if the last day to sign up is 22nd of March, how long do you have to clear it?
