Full tilt poker Store

Hi, i've a question regarding the ftp store

to my knowledge, when you buy from the ftp store, you have some of your rakeback deducted, im guessing that you get MGR deducted... for people that have shopped here, does it decrease significantly? i want to spend about 40k fpps but i wouldnt really want to have no more rakeback for the rest of the month haha.

i think it carries over into next month if you dont clear the negative balance, so it doesnt really matter when you spend it (unless your gonna quit ftp) you will have to pay for it eventually

buy the bike and then quit ftp forever, then email them saying you only gonna come back if they clear your negative mgr balance :D

i think you get a small reduction in % of rakeback until it's paid off. So instead of getting 27% back you'll get something like 15 or so if im not mistaken. Not sure about the percentages

Don't get the headphones they are shitty.

They count points as $0.005 value and deduct that from your MGR. So if you're gonna spend 40k points, it is valued $200 (normally the real store price is lower), which is deducted from your MGR (so your MGR is $200 lower than if you wouldn't buy it). 27% of that is what you'd normally get in rakeback, but now you don't get that. So you'll effectively pay $54 for the item. If you think it's worth more than $54, go for it, if not (say you're gonna get something just to use the points but you dont really need it), just keep your points and don't get your MGR reduced

With this you can just compare the items in the store with the price you pay in Wal-Mart, Amazon, etc, and see what's the best value, what discount you get by paying it with points, etc.

Thanks for this - very useful. Will keep points and not buy random shit then until I really want it!

I have bought and they decrease depending on there points value but never decrease percentage for example I bought an iPod once they did minus 150$ but I think points are worth more now so maybe it's less

Kinda related so I figured I'd put it here:

How about tourney buy ins for FTPs? Do they deduct from your rakeback too?

From what i remember they don't deduct when you use it for tourneys

They deduct $5 for every 1000 points spent in the FTP store. Check my blog, I posted all the known FTP fees that I got from my RB site.

headphones end up being like <$10s.

Decent value imo, you can def get worse for more money.

Use the ftp's for tournies instead, no mgr hit there so you get full value from them

+1 LOL.

Is that Sony 40-inch LCD TV worth getting? It's getting great reviews on Amazon... I don't have a TV ( I download everything lawls ) and wanted to purchase one for maybe some PS3/360 action.

It's priced at like 180k FTP points.

i got a zippo lighter from the store and within two weeks, it broke (as in the flint no longer sparked). waste of $ imo. cost me $30 in RB

i received my rb, bought some stuff and then cashed out all my bankroll.
