I'm a member of ftp, ps, ub, carbon. Well, i hear about rake back and I want my money back and i've attempted to join, but since I'm a current member, it won't work. does anyone know any ways around this, minus killing my account creating a new one? thanks

Yup, out of luck -- I'm in the same situation. You could try an account at Absolute and get rakeback there.

This guy claims he can get you rakeback with an existing account, he regularly hosts tourneys at Tilt.

Setting up new accounts will not work, either, as you'll be in violation of the T&Cs of just about any room. However, IF any of your current accounts are not already "tagged" to an affiliate, a rakeback site *MIGHT* be able to re-tag your account to them and start paying you; I was able to do this with my Absolute (then VP247) account via a site called RakeSwap, although I'm not sure I'd recommend them . . . but there are many out there, if you just do a Google search. Also, PokerSource just recently announced that any "dormant" Absolute Poker/Ultimatebet accounts are eligible for a re-tag to their rakeback program, but that would only work if you haven't used the account in something like 6 months.

If none of this works for you, as someone already mentioned, you can always set up an account at a new site and get rakeback through them. I recently got one at a new (Everleaf-affiliated) site called SwankPoker, for example, and I'm getting up to 30% rakeback with them, although it's a tiered system, and there's not (yet?) much traffic on the site. Also, I recently contacted Full Tilt in regards to rakeback, and they told me they are working on implementing a program in the near future for existing account who do not yet have rakeback and are not tagged to an affiliate; if you email them about this they'll put you into a database and are supposed to notify you when (or if?) this gets going.
