    I'm happy enough with my rakeback deal its a flat 30% and Ive no limits to how much I have to rake each month either :-)

    Didnt even have to go asking for the rakeback deal either which was the best part :-)

    Whilst I do feel sorry for everyone who lost money on Eurolink, who in their right mind would keep 1 million dollars on a poker site, that is just plain stupid!!

    Just tagging on another RB question here.

    Can you get RB even though you already have a FTP account or is it solely with new accounts?

    No you can't get RB on an existing account. Maybe your brother can...?

    I remember I opened a FT account and the Ste05 told me about RB. So I just opened another and they came at we a week later by email. Saying they would have to close one. I said I wanted my first account closed and they let me keep the one with rb. I dount think this is very common tho, I think the customer service girl was just v nice to me

    there are ways around it, if you email pokerstars about it, they will sent your details onto RakeBackPros.com who will then get back to you, they look into your account and see if you can get it - don't know how they do this....

    yeah rakebackpros are the only way. We've literally dealt with 100s of FTP retag cases. It doesnt matter if you signed up yesterday or 5 years ago with FTP, they wont retag anyone even if they went direct through the FTP site. I'm pretty sure that rakebackpros are afull tilt owned company that theyve setup themselves to avoid paying out to affiliates.

    The only option is to see if a family member or a friend likes poker...

    Assuming one has rakeback at FTP, is it best to not use up any gathered points or is it six/half a dozen?

    Would using up Ironman medals affect rakeback or does that only apply for regular points? If not, is one better off using the medals to purchase bonus $$ or tokens? I'm very confused - any experts got some advice on these ones?

    Full Tilt deduct everything from rakeback. Deposit fees, withdrawal fees, bonuses, tournament overlays, freerolls, store purchases. Basically, anything that is given to players as a promotional item is deducted from your MGR/rakeback.

    Definitely not. They just have their own VIP system done through FPPs. The higher level you are the greater rb % you will receive but they dont do rakeback and never will. To the best of my knowledge its not available through any affiliates either unlike Party and a few non rb rooms.

    Great, thanks! Does this means leass regulars and more occasional players there then? I guess regulars are after good deals, am I wrong?

    oh...didn't think about that :(

    So in terms of rake back and softness of the field, which site would you advise? I am new to cash, just started 2 weeks ago and play 200nl, but not higher for now.

    There is still fish on stars and FT. And the software makes multi tabling sweet.

    Entraction is supposed to be good.

    I currently play on a site with sweet fish pools for SSN and MSNL. Its ridic soft. Some of the things I seen players do to lose 200bbs is astonishing. Obv I'm not gonna post here where the site is.
