New Software Update for Full Tilt Poker

[TPC]

I just downloaded the new software. The bonus you can recieve is based on how many points you have earned in the past. I'm getting a $200 bonus!!! So this will be sweet!!! I just hope the software runs smoother. I've had problems with the new updates as well.

Will be merging all update threads into one again. Sorry Texas pokerstar, someone beat you to it. Will stick with your thread title though.

Actually it will pay out in $10 increments. If you go to Cashier > Bonus Status you will see it there.

I assume you mean "Bonus Account" as there is no "Bonus Status". But even there all the rows are blank.

For the bonus it sais no deposit neccessary but then you only get FTP via cash games.

 

[WVHillbilly]

No you get points for tourneys as well. You get 7 points per $1 in tourney fee. So you would get 3.5 FT points for a $5 + $.50 tournament.

I have seen them. In the classic view I still cant see the ok button when I try to login (have to click where it used to be long time ago...).
The new view looks fine but the black text is hard to read before the grey background.
There are still jobs to do at FT I see.

I don't think it's that confusing. It says, plain as day, that the full amount is paid out upon earning $100. And if you don't earn the whole thing then it'll pay out at 30 days with a cut from what you did earn.

My guess is....this ^^ is incorrect. If it's similiar to clearing a first deposit bonus (which it certainly sounds the same as), then you will receive your bonus in increments.... AND at the end of the bonus period, if you haven't reached the next release mark.... they don't ship you the balance.. taking a cut from it.

CLearing BONUS playing SNG's....

$100 bonus,... $0.06/pt. need 1,667 pts. to clear 100% of bonus.

This would translate to playing 238 $10 Sng's,... total buyin = $2,619.00

~ 8 - $10 Sng's/day

There were many updates these times on FT, and I just thought it was one more update... but when I opened the new lobby (with standard view)... I was really impressed

And clearly, I simply think this is the easiest lobby I have now, to quickly find exactly what I'm looking for.
Hats off for this one FT

I'm so sick I'm waiting I did not earn any FTP, because there was a nice 100$ bonus
I've heard about people answering a survey for another bonus.
Anyone knows where to reach it?

I've seen the new face of Full Tilt and it looks pretty nice. Got to check it out more to really comment. I don't care much for changes but let's give the changes a chance. I'm hoping the changes will be great and everyone likes them.

 

[undone]

now i am actually excited to go home and play!

 

[eagle jim]

Yep pretty sweet update...like the filters and like the $$$$$$$$bonus.....I got $400.00 not bad for a 10 cent grinder....now I just gotta play a billion hands to clear it .......yippeee

 

[Stu_Ungar]

Does anyone know how this bonus effects Rakeback?

 

[MaxiRodriguez]

I might have to rectract my earlier applause of the new FT client as now it crashes more than ever, as before it would freeze, it now completley crashes and I have to load it back up.

Which takes about 5 mins as during the connection and log-in... so frustrating.

 

[WVHillbilly]

Does anyone know how this bonus effects Rakeback?

Presumably it the bonus amount will be deducted from your MGR. So if you have rb a $100 bonus will cost you $27 in RB.

 

[8Michael3]

Its running smooth as a ferrarrrrrrrrrrrri engine for me.

The bonus is pretty cool as well but I think at the stakes I play, I will only be able to clear half by the end of August.

 

[MDTed]

I got a database error when I clicked on the accept button to get the bonus. So I suppose I'll have to wait until FT support gets back to me.

 

[Kenzie 96]

Hopefully in 3 or 4 days I will get something other than Full Tilt is not responding & be able to check this out, woo effeng eee.

 

[DawgBones]

Make sure you guys go to Requests > Check My Bonus offer. Supposed to be at least $100 bonus for everyone. Mine was $500. Clears at standard FTP rate (.06/point) and is released in $20 increments.

Thanks for the info WV. Gotta love the bonuses( or is the plural boni). Seems as though I'm having no connection problems today after the update. Before it was almost every hand and sometimes twice in a hand. Liking the new layout too. Easier to find the ring games I wanna play. Not so much jumping around. They're seperated better too as far as the limits. Wtg FT!

 

[smerald]

i dont really like change so im staying with the classic view.

 

[cardplayer52]

No you get points for tourneys as well. You get 7 points per $1 in tourney fee. So you would get 3.5 FT points for a $5 + $.50 tournament.

i thought is was 7 points for every $1 of rake paid. not the fee itself. oops just read the rest of that. by fee i thought you meant the whole $5.50

but i have been beta testing this new software for a couple weeks now. i'm not to trilled with the basic view. but like the other 2. i've been using the classic mostly. i was hoping you could put more filters on it though. like filter for 27 player SNG only. or when setting the min. max. amounts it goes form $1 to $4 skipping $2 + $3.

i got $200 in bonus. havent started it yet. but will need 3333 FTPs in 30 to get it. i'm not sure i'm ready for this grind. i'm only at 2nl right now as 5nl has crushed me. got a week of stox coming so maybe start the bonus after that.

 

[Sharesol]

I lovee the new standard view. I dont think there are any freerolls or anything available for using it though just a nice organized display.
