Full Tilt rakeback?

[couriermike]

I think I read a post here at PT saying it was possible to get retagged for rakeback at Full Tilt even if you had already played cash games there. So I emailed them asking about it and got back the reply below. This was like 2 months ago. Does anybody know anything more about this? Would love to get rb on Tilt.

Hello Mike,

Thank you for contacting Full Tilt Poker.

Full Tilt does not pay players rakeback directly. There are a number of rakeback affiliates who offer players up to 27% rakeback if they sign up to Full Tilt Poker through their site.

Please note that this is not an issue which can be solved by opening another account with Full Tilt Poker, it is against our site policy to open more than one account. Though you could cease using your account, we do not remove it from our system, nor do we freeze accounts in order for players to create new ones.

However, we do value your continued support of Full Tilt Poker, and we are currently looking into organizing something that will help players who are not already attached to an affiliate. We have added your username to our files for further consideration. Please be patient.

If there's anything else we can help you with, please don't hesitate to ask.

Best of luck on the tables!

Kind Regards

Rafael

Apparently the trick is to contact FTP ONCE and then just be patient. Some 2+2 posters who contacted FTP several times have reported getting an e-mail saying they will never get rakeback. The whole process took like 3.5 months for me and I only had to sign up at RakeBackPros (an FTP subsidiary, looks like), no re-installing the FTP software or clearing cookies etc.
