i just realised something really odd...I hope it is only me though. Ever since black friday, I have stopped receiving my rakeback on FTP, I used to get it every saturday without fail but now....
As I cannot mention which rakeback site I used, I am not gonna post the site's name but could it be related to black friday?
God, I really should just cash it all out on FTP and move to another site.

RB is paid by the affiliates rather than the poker rooms themselves.. So it would really depend how badly your affiliate was hurt by black friday.. All the "trailing commissions" from US sign-ups for regular (non-RB) promotions suddenly no longer coming in would really have hurt sites heavily promoting Tilt/Stars..

Thats actually true, rakeback is paid by affiliates, not by full tilt poker. So it depends on which affiliate you used to get your rakeback offer. My full tilt poker account is also affiliated to another site that offers a 27% rakeback offer at full tilt poker and friday i recieved my full tilt poker rakeback as usual. Still i know many people complained that they didn't recieved the rakeback but it was because of the added bonus offer that full tilt poker is currently offering. Although you didn't get any bonus yet, just because you registerd for the added bonus offer there is a part of your rakeback that is taken and if you don't make a large volum of rake/rakeback you don't get rakeback anymore untilt that amount is covered. So you are sure you didn't activated the added bonus offer or another offer for that matter?

Ah Macubaas, thats the explanation for my situation I guess. I only have a small bankroll at FTP so far and activated this added bonus. So I guess this is the reason why I don`t get rakeback at the moment.
