Full Tilt's Holiday Hundred bonus

[RoyalFish]

Got mine. Cleared the first $10 already.

I just checked and got my bonus too...wouldn't have even known about it if not for CC...thanks all! Haven't cleared anything yet because I have been too busy to play as much as I'd like, but I don't have very high hopes--last bonus I only cleared $15.

Vfranks, you are killing it! How muck do you earn in rakeback each week?

 

[chipmachine]

Yeah my last bonus I cleared only $15 and that was at 2nl and 5nl. But i have learned to multitable pretty well, and have moved from 10nl up to 25nl and you can clear the bonus pretty fast if u 8-16 table 10nl or 25nl. I figured that I get wayy less rakeback also it seems, but I guess with a bonus u kinda get ur rakeback right away as opposed to the end of the week? I'm kinda curious as to if I had not accepted the bonus would I get more rakeback compared to the 10$ incraments, or when u get a 10$ incrament does it deduct 10$ from ur rb? I know it says plus rake n juice and minus bonus', but I have never fuly understood mgr and net revenue and rakeback...I guess I'm just happy to recieve anything, and I remember always hearig Bonus>Rakeback? but always like to try an figure out the specifics.

I have cleared $40 from my bonus on 5NL 6max 4 tables..

I also noticed I get less rakeback, and I found how exactly it's calculated!

Let's say you play few thousand hands and you pay $15 rake total for the whole day and you have cleared $10 from the bonus. You will be paid rakeback on a smaller amount -> $15 - $10 = $5 and you will get 27% of $5.

Total money received: $10 + $1.35 = $11.35

If there was no bonus - you would have received 27% of $15 = $4.05

The bonus is definitely great!!

ok i just cleared my first 10$ finally but i bumped up from 1-2 to 2-5 and it is somewhat a little quicker so i hope i can get 40$ of the bonus b4 its done.
also i will say it again...i hate cash games but i dont know why...every bonus i enter and i have to play at cash tables,i always make more than i lose usually doubling or tripling or more every table...when the bonus started ...i was down to 18$ and i stay on it just to bring the bonus up and im up to 44$....but my first love is mtt's

AFAIK thats not how its calculated when taking RB off b/c of bonuses cleared, i've been clearing my initial deposit bonus on FT and my RB would be down maybe 2 or $3 per week.

Whenever you buy a hoodie or enter a FT tournie with FTPs your RB takes a hit, for 0.05c per FTP from your MGR.

As you have to earn FTPs to clear bonuses they go by how many FT points you've used to clear that $10, so for example, it's normally 166 points-ish to clear a $10 increment, they charge you 0.05c per 1 FTP on you MGR, so for clearing a $10 increment you would be charged 8.30 FROM YOUR MGR, obv RB is calculated from 27% of your MGR so clearing a $10 bonus increment equates to $2.24 from your weekly RB payment...... i think lol

Its something like that anyways, they definetly don't take $10 from your RB!

 

[orangepeeleo]

Working out the hit to a $15 MGR your not far wrong, i think you would have made like 11.80 or something as apposed to 4.05, but my point was that they don't calculate it by doing 15-10.... its the perfectionist in me lol

 

[orangepeeleo]

i done those calculations wrong lol, its .005c per FTP not 0.05 like i said, so clearing a $10 bonus your only actually charged 83c to your MGR, not 8.30 lol

 

[orangepeeleo]

Still no bonus for me though, i just cleared my deposit bonus last week so am i right in saying that i'll receive a bonus offer by the 4th of dec??

 

[JMTalbert]

Orange,
You shoud qualify for this now that your other bonus has been cleared. I haven't accepted mine since I know I cant play over the Thanksgiving holiday, but have a bunch of time between Christmas and New Years. I get a pop up every time I log in mentioning that I must accept my offer by 12/6. I am suprised that you are not getting the same. I don't see any links under the Cashier. If I were you I would email FTP support.

 

[orangepeeleo]

If I were you I would email FTP support.

Done, cheers anyways Hopefully i can get clearing it, bit shitty that i would've already cleared at least $10 since my last bonus got finished but ah well lol

I took his post as saying he is going to accept the bonus, but he's going to wait till 12/6 when he will have more time to clear the bonus. You only get 30 days to clear the bonus. But, the 30 days doesn't start till you accept the bonus.

 

[HipHopStoner]

It's wierd that certain people aren't getting the offers. Very odd, but what can you do.. Good time for me to take my vacation off poker.

 

[soncheebs]

Cleared mine today, I've been mashing the last 3 days or so.

oh ok i didnt know...i thought it started all at the same time...my bad

 

[maolitas]

I have just deposited on 2 other rooms (still waiting FTP to convert my account into a rakeback account).

So I can't get that bonus

 

[Vfranks]

Well I cleared mine..I am up, but down kinda lol..I deposited 30$ before this bonus and now am at 100$, so I think break even would be 130 without counting any rakeback...I did get up to 200$ but bad run/tilt kinda, so I havent really played today or yesterday. First bonus I have acctually cleared of this type! WOOT! (take 2 i cleared but that was a diff kind)

 

[GENUCOM]

No bonus here

if it was tradeable, you can have my $100 bonus for $10

I would actually make money that way :marchmell

next time there's a bonus, I'm gonna decline on it

rather than accept. can't win a hand to save my life.

ok im a newb but i got a question and i didnt want to open a new thread cuz it should be answered in 1 line...so here goes.....


(remember i consider myself a begginner in the odds and % part of the game)...
Hypothetically speaking...lets say i have 2-2 and my friend has a-k....who has the better hand pre flop percentagewise and i asked him if we both knew each others cards b4 the flop...i would accept probably both hands depending on the bet but most of the time when people bet like all in with a-k its becuz they think the other person has lower a-rag

 

[WVHillbilly]

I could give you the answer but it will be better if you can get it yourself.

U have to deposit with a bonus code and clear the bonus to be eligible

What? ^^ This is incorrect.
I know of many who didn't deposit with a bonus code.. never mind clearing it. I'm not sure what the parameters are for the bonus being offered but did hear that some were getting $400 (<< don't know of any personally so am not 100% sure of that).
All my online poker friends who play on Fulltilt all received the $100 bonus offer (none of them cleared a deposit bonus btw... fwiw).

My sister has already cleared her entire bonus - all from SNG's. I'm jealous, lol (I wish I had the time to play that often )
