Full Tilt Poker is just weeks away from relaunch and players and fans of the site are ready to see Full Tilt back in action. Good news continues to stream in about the relaunch and what Full Tilt is going to be offering, however, for former affiliates, the news is not so good. The Rational Group has just informed affiliates that they will not be earning their past commissions, which is unfortunate for former affiliates of the online poker room.
The Rational Group is the parent company of both PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker and they stated that they have removed the previous payments made from player accounts along with not paying the past affiliate commissions. A letter was sent out to former affiliates by the group which read:
“Other than the non-U.S. player balances, The Rational Group did not assume any liabilities of the previous Full Tilt Poker companies and therefore previous contractual agreements that Full Tilt Poker may have had with affiliates were excluded. As such, The Rational Group is not liable and will not pay for any affiliate earnings which may have been due to you under your agreement with any former Full Tilt Poker company.”
Affiliate payments were in question just a few months ago as a Full Tilt Poker representative was asked a question on the subject at TwoPlusTwo online poker forums. The representative had stated: “I don’t have the answer for this (affiliate payments). I’m confident that once the affiliate plan is solidified all of the affiliates will be updated”
One option affiliates had was to be paid though their Full Tilt Poker account and these accounts have had the funds removed. The letter to affiliates read: “For those accounts where player funds are commingled with funds derived from affiliate earnings, The Rational Group will only be making the portion of the funds relating to your previous player activity available for withdrawal.”
The Rational Group is still working on the current affiliate program and have announced that it will not be available until 2013.
