New Full Tilt 250 FTP Requirement

[TheDonk]

Here we go again boys and girls.


"Beginning April 1st, 2010, Full Tilt Poker will be making the following changes to the Affiliate Program.

Qualified Referrals:

A qualified referral will now be any real-money player who earns 250 Full Tilt Points. This change will be retroactive and include all players who have previously signed up through your Affiliate account that have not yet been paid for.

Our Full Tilt Point requirements for Affiliate referrals have not changed since the Full Tilt Poker Affiliate Program first launched. Since that time we’ve made it easier for players to earn Full Tilt Points; the adjusted Full Tilt Point requirements take this into account and bring Full Tilt Poker in line with industry standards.

The primary effect that these changes will have on Affiliate commissions is that it will take slightly longer for new players to meet Full Tilt Point requirements. However, you shouldn’t see a reduction in sign-ups or qualified conversions, as Full Tilt Poker continues to convert new players at a rate well above the industry standard.

To offset these changes for our Affiliates, we’ve increased the CPA bonus from $15 to $25 for all players who earn 500 Full Tilt Points. Capitalize on this higher commission by taking advantage of Full Tilt Poker’s strongest features and upcoming promotions - tell your players what’s going on to help increase their time at the tables:

* Rush Poker*: Since its introduction, Rush Poker* has been incredibly popular and resulted in increased player sign-ups and reactivations as well as a substantial increase in the number of hands played at Full Tilt Poker.

* FTOPS XVI: The next Full Tilt Online Poker Series begins this April, guaranteeing over $18 million spread across 30 events; with satellite tournaments running for every event, players of all levels can be a part of big tournament action.

The Full Tilt Poker Affiliate Team looks forward to continuing to work with you on developing promotions that will help boost your profit margin - contact your Affiliate Manager for more information and advice.


Isn't that nice of them? They want to help us boost our profit margin.

Just got the email too - pretty sure we all knew this was inevitable after the Stars announcement on their restructured CPA requirements a few months ago.

If I hear ONE affiliate say this shocks them I'm going to hunt them down and shoot them in the head.

Full Tilt Point requirements take this into account and bring Full Tilt Poker in line with Pokerstars standards.

Fixed the post


Would be interested in seeing what the conversion will be like compared to PS - Although they do still pay a much higher CPA than PS - $75 to start is pretty pathetic

Is this just for CPA? Is the rev. share still $10 balance within 60 days?

not really unexpected!

Yes, CPA only. The next rev share damage isn't due for another 30 days.

Hey, at least FT was nice enough to give us this news 9 days before the end of the month...plenty of time to move them down or remove them off our sites.
