I've only ever played on stars, but FT's rakeback and deposit bonus up to $600 has me thinking about a switch...at least till I get my deposit bonus.

Anyone know how long does the deposit bonus actually takes to get?

And why are regs here not playing on FT given the rakeback? Are stars FPPs essentially as good of a rakeback as FT's 27%, or is the table selection better on stars with more players?

you should search really hard, and find as much information comparing full tilt and stars, then post it here. as punishment. that way i dont have to search and read.

Good thread by everyone's favorite spoon. I can see why he's going for supernova elite.

http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...to-t40635.html
This thread has FT supporters claiming RB > FPP, and unless you're at supernova elite -- I'm inclined to agree based on the numbers. However, I don't use my FPP for cash bonuses -- I usually play in those 2700 FPP 2-table sunday mil sats as you get more bang for your buck than the lower cash FPP tradeins anyway... I've won 1/4 which got me $215 T$. I could have traded the 10k FPP for $100 instead.

Here's the thread I was looking for:

http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...el-t51594.html

There doesn't seem to be a good consensus about 'where the fish are'. Everyone's got anecdotes which are completely meaningless when trying to assess the fishiness of an entire site. I'd be interested in seeing average %seeing flop / pot size numbers for different sites at different levels, but have never seen any analysis of this...

If you're playing small stakes then FT with RB is the best option, imo, and you still accumulate FT points. Also, if you opt-in for Iron Man then you get those bonuses as well.

Full Tilt with Rakeback here, but mainly because I have never looked at playing Stars!!! But from what I can tell unless you are playing higher stakes Full Tilt is probably the place to be...
