5. Overall opinion of offer:

So far, so crappy. I did it on Free4me, it's worth 2 credits. So far, I installed the software then signed up. I tried to make a deposit with my debit card, which was declined. I opted for a instant check payment instead, so I did all that. Then, I tried to login and it keeps saying 'login or password is wrong'. Requested a new password, still didn't work. Ughhh. So I check my e-mail to see I have 4 e-mails from them.

1st says- Mastercard deposit- declined.
2nd- Mastercard deposit- processing.
3rd- Instant echecks- processing.
4th- Instant echeck- declined.

I have no idea what to make of it. Can't log in still, e-mailed support. I'll continue this as it unfolds and update if I ever manage to get it to work.

Keep us updated as Im planning to do this offer too. Thanks

Im removing all advice ive given on this site because its a scam and they dont pay.

Lots of good information in your post, but again, as I replied back the last time you posted this, it is NOT true. I and plenty of others have done several gambling offers, including this one, and have been able to use the e-check feature and/or credit cards. It depends on the TOS of your bank just as it depends on the TOS of your credit card.

EDIT - also, if you try the e-check feature and your information such as name and address don't match EXACTLY what is on your bank account, you will most likely be declined.

Mine matched exact to my bank, but it didn't work for some reason.

I got a message back from support. (I e-mailed cause I couldn't log in.) They asked for me to send them a copy of my ID, a copy of a bill, and a picture of my credit card. Someone else can take the reigns on this discussion, I'm not doing all that. Hopefully someone else has better luck.

maybe you live in states that dont allow it .. ? just a thought

Nope.

No one yelled at you, if you don't want to read facts and others' opinions, don't post.




You should consider yourself lucky! Here's the answer I got from support about getting 100 player points:

Anyone knows how much player points u get when u deposit the $50?

You don't get any. Player points are earned by winning poker games that you play.

Thanks butterboy2524 for the quick response

Do you have to win games or just play games?

Sure thing!





OK, this is what I have found after MUCH searching of the Full Tilt site, because they keep this very well hidden.

Player points are earned in "games" by winning hands only. The points earned are very meager in what you spend to play, unless you are an extremely good or lucky player. I played a total of 4 hours on a very low buy-in table, did pretty well, and spent $15, but earned only 10 player points.

BUT, player points are also earned based on the entry fees paid to play in a tournament. You get 7 player points for each $1 in tournament fees that you pay. You can enter into a tournament for as little as $5, BUT you have to actually play in the tournament to get the player points. So you would earn player points for entering into and playing in the tournament, whether you win or lose.

Also, they have Happy Hours, where if you play in certain events during Happy Hour you get double the player points.

I am going to be testing all this tomorrow morning as I paid to be in a tournament very early tomorrow morning. Wish me luck and I will report back here on what I find.

Well, scratch my above post. I re-read the earn points terms and looks like playing ring games during happy hours is the best way to get points. You earn the points whether you win or lose the game. And for tournaments, you only earn points on the actual fee, not on the buy-in amount.

I have spent hours on this offer and still only have 40 points, and I will have to deposit more money to get to 100.

Here is the definition of rake as used in the points terms - rake

Rake is the percentage of a pot that the house collects as compensation for hosting a game. At Full Tilt Poker the maximum rake in ring games is $3, with a minimum pot size needed for any rake. The only exception is a hand completed where players have chosen to use Run it Twice, where maximum rake is $4.

Earning Points

Start earning Full Tilt Points by playing in any qualifying raked real-money hand in a ring game or a real-money Multi-Table Tournament or Sit & Go with a tournament fee:

Ring Games: For each dollar raked from a pot, every player who was dealt cards for that hand will receive 1 Full Tilt Point. For example, if $2.00 in rake is taken from a pot, each player who was dealt cards will receive 2 points. Fractional points are also awarded; if $2.25 in rake is taken, players will receive 2.25 points. A maximum of 3 points can be earned per hand.

Tournaments: For every dollar paid in Multi-Table Tournament or Sit & Go fees, you'll receive 7 Full Tilt Points. There is no limit to the number of points you can earn per tournament. For example, if you play in a tournament with a $10 buy-in and a $1 tournament fee, you'll receive 7 points; if you play in a tournament with a $200 buy-in and a $16 tournament fee, you'll receive 112 points.

this is almost a bad offer because of the points thing, if you traded with someone who's waiting for your green

Thank you for this info. I was considering it too...

-Jeez

Well, I wouldn't go that far. You need to plan a strategy to play during happy hour and fold your hands that don't qualify to play under "tight poker" because you still earn points even if you fold.

It is a time-consuming offer for sure and if you are not really good at poker, it may not be worth it.

I did have a lot of fun!

we should give each other our usernames, then create a tournament so we can play against each other

I'll play! Where do I find my player points? I can't see them anywhere. Pretty easy to use actually (other than the location of my points). I was playing the ring games .05 - .10. Had some good hand won a few. I lost one big one to pocket rockets.

you are gonna be dissappointed when you find your player points. it is in the cashier > summary

I can't check because I am at work... However, I had a blast playing today. I played for about 2 hours and broke even. I consider that a success seeing as how I have never played online for money before. I actually just look forward to playing again and really don't care how long the points take to get.

good cause it's gonna take a longg time. i did this as part of a trade and my trader has patience, thank goodness

How long has it taken you so far? How many points do you have? How much are you playing?

That's the attitude to have, if you are doing well. I have known people who got their 100 points with the initial deposit because they did well. However, the average player will have to deposit more money, ($30 minimum for me) so it is also important to have a strategy for gaining points to try to avoid this, like playing in tomorrow's triple points happy hour from 3 to 8.

Since the points are based on how much the house rakes from the pot, whether you win or not doesn't matter as far as points go, though of course you want to win! Even if you fold your hand, you get points for that particular game based on the rake.

It took me 18 hours of playing ring games, mostly during happy hours, to get 103 points and I had $10 left over. But, I folded a lot of hands since I was playing tight poker, which makes the pot smaller and, therefore, less points gained.

ive been playing over 1 week, and it took a lot of learning on how to get more points faster, for the sake of the offer requirements and going green. i still have to get like 70% of my points and i will make more deposits to get them.

if you have a lot of money to spend on this offer, you can just play touraments and earn 7 points for every $1 in tourament fees, but you will probably deposit up to $200 because the fees are so little for each tournament.

thanks butterboy for your help and tips, it helped a lot. i cant wait to go green and just enjoy this offer and play for money without thinking about the points. btw the real purpose of the points is to buy stuff in the full tilt store, i guess that is why it takes a while to earn them

ok i figured out how to earn 100 points pretty fast, butterboy's tips helped a lot and what she said is all true, happy hours are the best, play at a low risk level, and play multiple tables. you will be done within a couple of days if you play for an hour each day

I had fun completing this. All it took me was 3 hours with the happy hour bonus. I was playing two tables of no limit .10/.25. All I played were small hands and let everyone else push in. The points go up pretty fast. I just had to raise against blinds once and a while to stay playing. And I still have $25 in there to play with.

I have $2.50 left... LOL
I had a lot of fun. I was done about a week ago. I still play every day with my $2.50 in the ring .05/.10 games.

Im removing all advice ive given on this site because its a scam and they dont pay.

some of those tips dont exactly work when you are trying to earn 100 points with a $50 deposit. but i dont feel like explaining it anymore. i got my points! lol good luck to the others who try!

Look. If you like playing/watching poker, you're going to like this offers. Plus it's worth 2 credits at free4me. Some people get the 100 points fast, some take their time. Big deal. It's a quality offer and it credits well.

Again, you are wrong in what you state, but since you obviously have a big ego, this is for you.



Points are NOT awarded based on the size of the pot, but what the house rakes from the pot. A $1.00 pot is going to have a very small rake (there's a chart at the Full Tilt site that shows how the rakes are calculated) and, therefore, only a fraction of a point will be awarded each player in the game. Unless the pots are pretty large, it is going to take a lot more than 100 hands and an hour to earn 100 points.



The Happy Hour promo was slated to end this month, don't know if Full Tilt will have another one.

edited...lol this didnt credit for me probably because I earned the points to fast and used all the advice they didnt credit me

That's cool, ninja, some people played 2 tables at once to get points more quickly, but with my up and down routine here taking care of all these furkids, I couldn't do that.

same thing...edited

also dont want to post a guide how to get points to be safe

Just fold everything but "tight poker" hands or hands you are positive you can win. You still get your points if you fold.

EDIT - play nothing lower than the top-rated 10 hands, myself I play nothing rated under .50

http://www.tightpoker.com/poker_hands.html

you should only bet ring games if you are trying to get your points. and play tight like butterboy said. once you get your points, play however you want

Well, he is playing ring games, 9 player table, he just meant switch to that lower table from the one he is playing.

lol edited

open more than one table at once, thats another tip

Have fun. That's the best tip of all...

LOL, yeah, but don't lose your shirt in doing so!

Im removing all advice ive given on this site because its a scam and they dont pay.

Just curious... has this offer been crediting good or bad? I haven't found that anywhere, just how to earn points quickly.

I earned my 100pts in about 5-6 hours, of which the first 2 hours were spent playing tournaments where i spent $25 and earned a whopping 20 points. Then i realized it was ridiculous hard to earn points that way and started playing ring games, and ended up earning all of my points within a few hours, and still ended with $20 left. I was actually up A LOT at one point, but someone got really lucky against me is all i can say. They had no business being in the hand... and then got extremely lucky when i called their bluff.

Also, my advise for earning points... play in a ring game that is almost too expensive to play in (play at happy hour for the most points). Since you don't have to actually play in a hand to earn points from it, just have to be dealt in to it, you earn huge points if you play in a real high ante game, you earn more points per hand.

Oh... and bluff....bluff a lot! That is how i got all my money! Buy in to the table with the normal table amount, wait around until you get a great hand, and play big. Then, once you get a big stack of money, play as the table bully and bluff tons of hands when you are playing with someone who doesn't have much money!

Anyways.... so does it credit well or not?

it was crediting great until 2 people did not receive credit around the same time, recently. the bad part about that, is that free4me supposedly worked directly with them, in order to give you credit. so its messed up that they did not get credit. full tilt claimed they did not sign up thru free4me, with some website code or something like that


can you elaborate?

Bluffing won't always work, it just depends on the balls of the other players. I played for about 2 hours as the table bully one night, it was fun.

The offer is manually credited, so except for 2 people who seem to have gotten ripped off, not sure by whom, the offer crediting rate would seem to be 98%.

nvm doesnt matter

wtf.. butterboy was correct in saying what she said. simple

Did your mother drop you on your head as a baby? Or maybe you're just from another planet. Whatever, you have a serious reading comprehension problem.
