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.

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.

Agreed, but they won't because we're gonna play there anyways.

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.

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.

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!

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