In my opinion this comment is both incorrect and misleading. What matters is whether you opened your original account through an affiliate or not, regardless of how long ago it happened. However, I could be wrong - I often am!
Well I received an e-mail from my rack back provider concerning Full Tilt. I asked them to see if I could get RB from FT with them. They said they would give it a try. Here is their response:
Subject: Full Tilt Rake back Dear xxxxx,
Thank you for contacting Rakebreak.
We checked with Full Tilt to see why your account was not linked to us, and they replied back saying that you had signed up to Full Tilt and registered your account directly through their website, not through us. They were unable to link your account to us as your account was more than a week old, and they do not link accounts that are more than a week old. Sadly we are unable to offer you rakeback with Full Tilt.If you would like to receive rakeback from us, please choose a poker room where you've never had an account before.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions.
Sincerely,
Stephanie
I guess I'm out of luck. However, I will try Full Tilts Iron Man Challenge for rewards equal to rake back.
