I have been playing on Stars for the last coupla' years and am thinking about changing to FT for the 30% rakeback. My BR is a little over the $600 bonus FT are offering.
So, my question is what are their conditions? I looked them up on the site but couldn't find it? When can you cash out the Bonus?
If I deposit $600 on FT, get my bonus, I now have $1200. What happens if I sit down in a $3/6 with my Bonus, lose it all? Is the remaining $600 still mine to cash out whenever?

The bonus releases in $20 blocks and is held in a 'pending bonus' account that you can not touch untill it is released.
Once it's released you can lose it however you want.

also, the rakeback is affected by you clearing a bonus. it will be much less until you finish clearing it.

100% up to $600 deposit bonus
16.67 Full Tilt Points are needed for each $1 in bonus money (each point accumulated is worth $0.06).
Bonus is released in increments of 10% or $20.00, whichever is less.
Bonus expires after 120 days
Points are awarded in the following manner:
For each dollar raked from the pot, you will earn one point. You can earn partial points if less than one dollar is raked, and you can earn up to three points per hand. Basically, the amount that is raked is equal to the amount of points you will get per hand (a hand raked at $0.50 would give you 0.50 points). Each point is worth $0.06,

rakeback is capped at 27% now, not 30%
