New Terms at Fulltilt - your players have only 60 days to deposit

[StinkyT]

Just a hunch, but I'm guessing that affiliates are the last thing on their minds at the moment, they're having some serious website/server issues.

[Notspot]

Surely they are a different department to whoever is responsible for the tech side of the website.

I find the lack of response very telling and can't help but take offense by it.

just one individual, but ....
I have this guy who I met in july last year. Explained the rules, gave him some tuition, handed a business card with my FT bonus code. He signed up with FT in august. Contacted me, gave him a bit more tuition. Made his first deposit last month. Started playing a little bit. Now since 4 weeks he's skyrocketing, 600 $ of rake in one day multitabling at 10/20 NL.
Thinking I wouldve lost that guy under the new rule ....

And btw, FT : I now have a good personal relation to that guy - he knows I am making a profit from him, and he doesnt mind. He's loaded anyway, seriously so.

And I know that many affiliates have players like this one. Think about how easy it is for an affiliate to convince guys like him to play someplace else - maybe even a site that gives more than your meager 20% ....

So I'm pretty sure they're not off for President's Day then...

I just got done reading every post in this thread. I think that we all need to voice our thoughts about this huge issue with full tilt new policies with full tilt. It great to post here but we need to tell them. If you have not already emailed you’re AM or the affiliate dept please send them an email.

Be professional, this is the only way to get respect. And be taken seriously.

Their is also always power in numbers with any change (needed or not) and or decision making. I am not going to go on about how this totally sucks and how uncertain it makes me feel about promoting FTP. Plus I don’t want to speculate as to the final outcome. But I do feel that we are all a part of this industry and should make our voice heard in a big way if we want to affect the outcome of any room’s policies.

I guess this issue will just be ignored and forgotten about. I have not received a response from FT - has anyone else?

[Prenut]

Wow, not even one single response from Full Tilt. Not a "hey we are discussing things internally we will get back with you" or a "sorry but this is the way it is". a 20+ page thread with 5000+ views on the largest poker affiliate forum and nothing?

Jeremy, Greg? Guys can we get someone from Tilt in here?

[Graham]

Shows they don't care... I know what my plans are now.

[corpfan1]

Don't you think it would be professional of Full Tilt to do something like....

We have altered the 60 day decision to 180 days and have increased affiliate revenue% by 5% (or 10%) to account for any losses that may occur for players that might be lost due to the signup term policy going forward. This change will take affect beginning April 1st and WILL NOT include players already in the system (only new signups after April 1) - please contact us with any other concerns you have.

Wouldn't something like this make sense if they are DEAD-SET against enforcing this stupid policy?

[RounderStaked]

Its unbelievable that there is still no response. I could understand if the elen and the other aff. managers haven't checked in with PAP yet, but nobody has gotten a reply from their emails either?

This makes the decision a whole lot easier if I am waiting for a response that isn't coming.
