WTF Full Tilt

Full Tilt has jumped the shark, and is now screwing over affiliates by not crediting them with players who deposit after 60 days of registering. Here is the direct quote from the latest Full Tilt affiliate newsletter, “As an affiliate, we want to make sure you get the credit you deserve for directing real-money players to Full Tilt Poker. Our Affiliate Agreement defines a real money player as someone who makes their first real money deposit within 60 days of signing up on our site.”

This is absolute ludicrous, a good majority of Full Tilt deposits occur after a 60 day period. I'm not the only one who is disappointed, there are huge threads all over affiliate communities that are packed with livid posters.

Another interesting move is that Full Tilt launched an in house rakeback program. Not sure exactly what the goals of the in house rakeback program will be. But this is about the worst news possible for rakeback affiliates and regular affiliates.

I have a slight feeling that Full Tilt may reverse this new policy, due to the outrage they have caused, although I'm not holding my breath.

I haven't updated the blog lately, because Jim and I have been coasting for a few weeks here. However, we should have a new mini site launched within a week or two. Also there is a new skin on the Cake Poker network, that is offering rakeback. This is a great opportunity to get some great search engine positions for this room by putting up some content before the competition does.

Will provide links when the new mini site is launched
