Full Tilt RB questions

MuckinWinners · #1 10-06-2006, 09:39 AM

I have read here that Full Tilt "deducts everything" from MGR. What and how much is "EVERYTHING"?

I assume the following:

1) Bonuses - fully deducted from MGR.
2) Transactions Fees - Which transaction(s) and how much?
3) FT Store Purchases - Yes/No? How much?
4) Freeroll Tourny awards - Yes/No? How much? How frequent?
5) ???
6) ???
7) ???
8) ???
9) ???

I am sure there are others that would also benefit from this information, before they unitentionally lose out on their rakeback. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. Bonus Whores says that the maximum number of tables played at FT is 4. Is this correct? I was able to open a 5th table last night (accidentally) but didn't try to play on it because I was doing something else on my second monitor. How many can be played/opened?

Below the 4 table max on BW it mentions you can email to get it set at 8 tables. I guess they now set players at 8 no matter what?

As far as deductions......

1. Yes
2. Deposits, not cashouts
3. Yes
4. Yes, add overlay in guarantee tourneys too.

Thanks for the info.

For an invite to a $1000 freeroll with 100 players, I ASSUME each player would have $10 deducted from their MGR.

I guess the value of items purchased in the store is an arbitrary amount assigned by FT at the time of purchase.

Kind of reminds me of the old saying "Ass, Gas, or Grass ... Noone rides for free" [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Anyone else have anything to contribute?

Just another question. Dealt or contributed method?

Correct, assuming you are making the cap allowed of 27% you would lose $2.70 off your rakeback. Full Tilt will allow you to opt out of invitation freerolls like the Iron Man promotion. Discuss with your affiliate the ways to get removed but I think it is as simple as emailing support.

Dealt

When I have some time I will get that chart back up as a sticky.

Here's an excerpt from the email we usually send out to players inquiring about Full Tilt deductions...

[ QUOTE ]
In addition to bonus deductions, Full Tilt also makes deductions for payment processing fees (only incurred on deposits), points redemptions, freerolls, and tourney overlays. Below is a breakdown of how these other deductions are applied.

- Points Redemptions: Full Tilt does not provide us with an exact dollar figure to point ratio. It appears they deduct the average value or cost of items you order. For example, we had a player order a Full Tilt jersey and his MGR was deducted by $100 (which seems about right for the going price of a jersey these days).

- Payment Processing Fees: Full Tilt is charged a small fee when you use a payment provider (such as Neteller/credit card/etc.) to deposit funds. These fees typically run from 3% - 9%. Credit cards are the highest and Neteller is around 5%.

- FreeRolls: Full Tilt deducts the "value" of the tourney entry equally from each player entered. For example, if the prize pool is $1,000 and there are 500 players entered then each player's MGR will have a $2 deduction.

- Tourney Overlays: Similar to freerolls, Full Tilt deducts the overlay amounts equally from each player entered.

Another FT rakeback question:

Can I have a friend refer me, then sign up through a rakeback site, and do the deposit bonus??

I realize all these bonuses will be taken off my MGR, but eventually I'd start earning rakeback after burning these off, right?

As a rule with poker rooms using a RAF will void any affiliate connection. I am almost positive this is true for FT.
