Depositing on full tilt?

I was curious because I have never deposited funds on a poker site before that if i was to make the minimum deposit of 50$ with the bonus bringing me to 100$ say I played tonight and got up to 150$ would I be able to withdraw the min 100$ and keep the original 50$ that I deposited? Is there any catches to the bonus and what is the best way to make withdrawals from full tilt by check option or should i set up to go through the ultra option?

You need to collect full tilt point before you can get ur bonus.

what do you mean collect full tilt points just yesterday I had over 4k worth of Full Tilt Points

To get your bonus you need to collect full tilt points. If you depose 50$ you probly need to get over 500 points.

hmmm ok how do you gain points playin with real money is it by hand, pot etc?

You also have to play a certain amount of raked pots as well as collect all those points. But the FT points I don't know HOW those work!

The winning/withdrawal scenario you presume doesn't make sense. First off, you need to play "raked hands" to get the bonus. Second, you have to play well enough to not lose your original BR. And if you play well, why are you taking money from your BR when you're doing well and are in line build a larger BR? You need money to make money; just ask Warren Buffet.

Yeah its by playing with real money. Like if you pay 1,25$ for a Sit N Go , They will give you points for your .25$ and on the tables they take $ on pots and give you points.

ahh alright I get it thank you very much for the info it makes a lot more sence to me now. Now out of curiosity one more time lol is it better to play the cheap sit n gos for a real money beginner or the .05 .10 cent tables or perhaps something i am unaware of?

i should throw in that I have tons of experience with playing 9 peep full tilt point tourneys however those more times than not turn into a game played like freerolls

You have to earn your bonus over time. Time in this case means hands played, or tourneys played. Then the bonus is doled out in increments.

You need to play real $$$ raked hands to earn FT points as you earn points you unlock your bonus $$$ in 5 dollar increments. I don't recommend you make a deposit unless you are a highly expierenced poker player or you don't care about losing money. If you are a good player you can win the freerolls and build a bankroll from there. GL at the tables!!!

Dj is right you dont get all the bonus at once i think everytime you accumalate 15 or 25 ftps and you get a very small percentage of your bonus. My friends have went broke b4 they got all their bonus so play it smart. They do this so you cant cheat them out of the bonus your getting. You'll end up putting far more than 150 dollars in play win/or lose to get the 100 dollar bonus. So good luck and win.

It was a good idea that you asked, because when I deposited my first $50 I was expecting a $50 back, however they paid it out in increments based on FTPoints gathered while playing tourneys and cash tables. I believe the first payout was at $5.
For example, if you like playing Sit&Gos, Full Tilt gives you 7 points for each $1 spent in entry fees.
Also, you can follow your progress by going to the Bonus section in Cashier. You will be able to see how many points you need to collect for each bonus pay-out level.

I've never cleared a full FT bonus. Back when I actually had cash in there, I never played high enough stakes to be able to collect enough FT points to clear it all in the allotted time. It would be nice if it was like party poker was (when U.S. players could still play there) where it was a simple raked hand requirement. I enjoyed how their almost monthly deposit bonuses very easily helped build my bankroll when I first began playing.

It's pretty easy to do playing 2 tables of 25c 50c limit Razz during happy hour where you get double or triple fpps. Your in EVERY hand due to your ante.

UGH.....the thought of having to play that much razz makes me cringe.

Good post thx for the information.

If you really want to clear your bonus fast at Full Tilt, sit in at a $.05/$.10 Omaha Hi/Lo with a high average pot per hand. The rake on the 5c/10c games are double the rake of higher stakes. You earn points for every dollar of rake taken from a hand in which you were dealt cards. I was able to clear my entire bonus this way at a profit, folding almost every hand.

For each dollar raked from a pot, every player who was dealt cards for that hand will earn one point.
You can earn partial points if less than one dollar is raked, and you can earn up to three points per hand.
Each point is worth $.06.


For every dollar paid in tournament or Sit 'N' Go fees, you will receive 7 Full Tilt Points. There is no cap on the number of points you can receive.
The bonus amount will be automatically credited to your Bonus Account where it will be held
and released to your cash account in increments of 10% of your initial deposit.


You can see your bonus cash amounts in the Cashier window.

Look at BONUS ACCOUNT !!!
