New Full Tilt Bonus

[Aldito]

The ring game tickets should appear in your cashier after you unlock the bonus. You can then use the cashier to track how much each ticket is worth.

Actually unlocking their value is insane BTW - I played about 450 hands of $5NL Rush yesterday for a grand total of 13FPPs. You need to make 50FPPs to unlock a single $2 ticket. On the upside the profit on top of $2 got added directly to my account balance once I stood up. On the downside I had to short-stack $5NL which feels super-dooper-scummy

I had a look into it last night. The ring game tickets you get are to the value of the increments in which your bonus is released. Mine is released in 20$s, I cleared one at 5nl rush, and that'll do me. Game's are so nitty these days it's hard to B/E. The ring game tickets are added once the bonus is expired/completed.

$500 bonus with $50 ring game tickets. I have been putting in some big volume, even started playing rush and I am about 1/3 of the way into it...

I think I may even be liking this rush game...

According to FTP doug over on 2+2, Fulltilt is currently looking into what to do with USA players FTP but they are definitely not going to 'go away'. I would expect you would get some value out of them one way or another.

As for there lack of emails to US players he also indicated that there legal team has advised them to ignore US customer enquires at the moment until they work out exactly what they are going to do.

Not the answers I'm sure most people would like but at least something is happening behind the scenes.

Aren't these bonuses just another form of rakeback? As I calculate it, it should equal to 40%.

I'm not 100% sure if FT takes this from your weekly RB payment or it doesn't affect it at all. It'd be cool if it doesn't affect the RB, since it will really be a bonus. If it's deducted from the rakeback, then it's just 40% instead of 27%.

And why the F do they have this stupid happy hour nonsense if it doesn't count for shit? HH points don't count towards bonus clearing so why the hell would I need them? To buy a coffee mug? Gee, thanks!

Logged on to fulltilt today to see there is a new 'The Added Bonus' available. Looks like I have 3 weeks to clear about 1100 FTP to get the full $50 which is going to be hard but not impossible to do for me.

Has anyone else received this bonus?

i received the same bonus me too.. but i dont think that i take all the bonus...
probably i'll take only 10/15$

I got a bonus of $200. I have cleared $20 of it and will maybe get another $60 or $ 80 more

Cleared $80 of mine so far, $120 left but it's gonna take a lot of volume to clear it all...

does FT Bonus affect your rake back
Telboy

I'm at rakebackpros, and it does affect mine. I clear my $300 bonus in chunks of $20 for every 500 FTP, which equates to a $5.40 hit each chunk. It's still a good bonus though, as it's still an extra $14.60 for every 500 FTP.

So the way it works for me is like this...

* I typically get about $15 in rb for every 500 FTP I earn without any bonuses (27% rakeback)

* With the bonus, I get about $30 in rb for every 500 FTP I earn (so I guess that's like 55% effective rakeback)

* The bonus also awards ring game tickets, so that's an additional amount on top of it.
