2 Questions about this
1) I'm assuming this rakeback is ring only, or are sng's/MTT's included?
2) is it theoretically possible to get 100% of your rake back? (say you sign 16 people up with your link, 16 * 5 = 80, + 27% = >100%) Is this possible?

You're getting 5% of their rake, not your own.

Are we supposed to get some confirmation from them that we will actually get rakeback? When do we get this?

If I had a hammer
I'd drop in the morning
I'd drop in the evening..

Yes, if you use our links then you should get an email shortly after signing up. If you don't see it in your Inbox then check the bulk folder (Bulk for Yahoo email or Spam for gmail).

What do you mean by sign up? Download the client and create an account? I did that using the links and didn't get an email.

Did you get any emails from True Poker? Did you deposit any cash? I'll ask Chris if it waits for a deposit.

I asked Brock about this. Rakeback applies to both ring games and tournaments. For tournaments the entry fee is the rake.

This is true of the way most rakeback is handled, to my knowledge. For instance, in a $10+$1, the $1 is considered rake (so you'd get $0.27 back from such a tournament).

I got an email from them talking about bonuses I could get, but nothing about rakeback...

Subject: rakeback?
I signed up through an affiliate link (FlopTurnRiver.com) that offered
a 27% rakeback (referral code (on website link) is "c9bFTRax0"). I
was wondering if I was supposed to receive some sort of confirmation
email that I will receive a rakeback when I deposit and start playing.
Thanks,

You should get the rake-back email very soon. Please check you bulk/spam folder. When my brother signed up through gmail, the rakeback email did not make it to his Inbox, it was in his Spam folder.

they have to put in a fullname before they get picked up. There are 3
people that got an email yesterday that have yet to fill out the full name
area in the game.
