Re: Full Tilt and the PPA...FINALLY A GREAT IDEA
[ QUOTE ]
Why don't you just give some of your money to the PPA directly, without further indebting your players? [/ QUOTE ] I am not FT,but this one is easy to answer. It really does give the PPA more lobbying weight to be able to say '1 million card carrying members' as opposed to saying the poker sites fund us.

Re: Full Tilt and the PPA...FINALLY A GREAT IDEA
[ QUOTE ]
To clear something up, the bonus does not affect MGR. [/ QUOTE ] ok, thx for the news ftpdoug, i'm sure this clears up at least some of the confusion...can u emphasize a bit more on y the 1000 bonus gets u no % overlay?? i mean, i understand if that's how they want to do it, but it doesn't seem like there's much benefit to the player, so i don't see that as being a viable options...

Re: Full Tilt and the PPA...FINALLY A GREAT IDEA

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] If I donate $1000 I get $1000 bonus. That bonus then most likely comes out of my MGR and 27% of $1000 is $270. So for me to do the max bonus it actually would cost me $270. Am I missing something or is that whats going on here? [/ QUOTE ] I believe you are correct - you recoup the $1000 donated from the bonus, but you're $270 behind in potential rakeback from donating and bonus clearing just go get back to 'even.' [/ QUOTE ] Don't forget the taxes we will have to pay when we withdraw the money because its going to look like winnings. Bad deal, right Howie Mandal? [/ QUOTE ] You pay taxes on money that LOOKS like winnings? Might be time for a new accountant. BTW, who is Howie Mandal? I wonder if he knows Howie Mandel? [/ QUOTE ] If you are good enough that you actually cashout, then thats $200 more you have to report on taxes. Even if you only made $100 b/c you donated $100 to the PPA good luck explaining that to the IRS. But then again not everyone makes money and the $200 lets the fish swim longer in the pool. Also, since it is now known that this is not deducted from RB I am offically hearing Howie say "you made a excellent deal."

Re: Full Tilt and the PPA...FINALLY A GREAT IDEA
FT is sending this offer to players that are not from the USA.
Is that in the PPA's best interest on Capitol Hill? ToT

Why don't you just give some of your money to the PPA directly, without further indebting your players? I think your players should be outraged, outraged that you're using this bill as a marketing ploy to make even more money for yourselves. Looks desperate. [/ QUOTE ] You are an idiot.

Re: Full Tilt and the PPA...FINALLY A GREAT IDEA
Sorry, I don't think I worded that very well. Is the money credited to your FTP account when you make the donation, or do you have to get x number of FTPoints to clear it?
