Yes they get paid P/H (i guess its diffrent for diffrent players but think its $33ph) all fees etc paid for and they get to keep winnings (again depending some might be 100% outhers 85%) but also have to do interviews promoting etc.
M3, i guess the get entries to touns they want, yep, and hotels, food, ahem women cough cough etc etc.

M3turbo, Ya, I'm not sure. But I seen Clonie Gowan's case with Full Tilt and she's suing them for like $40 million. So I thought maybe they get paid a lot of $.
B1gfoot, they only make $33 p/h? That's when they're playing online? I think I heard one time they get $250,000 for promoting at the final table of some tournaments.

We'll never know for sure cause everyone who get's signed are thrilled and wont risk their new contractl to tell the world which advantages the contract carries. Im pretty sure they are not hourly paid.
The red FTP pro's get 100% rakeback that's all I know about the FTP contract.

Its all diffrent for diffrent players, promoters sites etc. But from what iv seen they get a PH pay for playing in a game + % of winnings obviously all fees paid and extras that go with it, but like Geneyuss it will be diffrent $ for the promotion side. Iv seen $33 somewere and sure its for PS but again that will all vary from player to player it might be bottem line?? Clonie Gowan's case is a funny one, as far as im awar its not for loss of pay its for the % of the company she says she owns (full tilt) might look in to that later.
and why I am not Demidov's brother... He is 2 but I woulg be pleased to have a little percentage from the money that he won... I like everything FREE!!!
I think they will have lots of benefits: free buy in for torunaments PS wants them to play, gadgets ( shirts included ) and of course money, money and money
) and of course money, money and money
