You can sign up for the rake back deal at ANY TIME. JUST REMEMBER to deposit the most that you can possibly afford in your gambling budget for your first deposit. You first deposit will have a bonus of 100% up to $500 I think. So no reason to send less than $500. I signed up so long ago that they only had 25% bonuses then and I didnt even know about the bonus. My first deposit was small and I fuccked up. Dont make my mistake. I think that I sent about $200 for my first deposit, but was sending in $500 at a time later. So that was just a waste
Are you suggesting that he sign up with Full Tilt BEFORE he gets rakeback? If you sign up for a real money account on Full Tilt BEFORE getting a rakeback deal, you will most likely not be able to get rakeback.
The first thing pyro MUST do is sign up for a rakeback account before registering on Full Tilt. While i agree that pyro should deposit the most to maximize the bonus, the first thing he should be worrying about is getting his rakeback situtation squared away.
First off, there are many people that have been on full tilt in the past (without rakeback) and have been unable to get rakeback. There was a grace period a while back, but none that i know of nowadays. Anything is p ossible in the world of rakeback, but i know that what you are saying is not a given.
Second, why would someone play poker on Full Tilt without rakeback. Its free to sign up and takes minutes to do so. PLaying one hand on Full Tilt is negative EV.
I have no idea why you would be encouraging anyone to sign up on Full Tilt without first getting rakeback. It makes absolutely no sense, even if it was simple to get rakeback a week, month or year later.
Here are a couple of links from 2+2 which pretty much show that its not so easy to get rakeback after you have already opened an account without rakeback:

Maybe this helps:
Im trying to play in a few free rolls just to get the feel of things. I probably won't deposit $500 because of how unstable the off-shore industry is right now, and that goes along with not having a huge bankroll either. I do want to get the rake back though, and I believe I can accomplish this by signing up with it, but not depositing any money for a few days if im reading it correctly.
ECS, I just got done reading Super System, Hellmuth's book, and about 50 pages away from finishing Harrington's book. Don't beat me up too bad...

I didnt ENCOURAGE him at all! I just said that he didnt have to do it. I played for over a year without a rakeback. Then I emailed MATT and through his website I got the rakeback. He NEVER said that it was too late. I have only gotten the rakeback there for around 5 months.
I NEVER knew about the rakeback which I am sure that 75% of the players havent even heard of it. Glad that I have it now though

I really have no idea. It involves the rake and # of hands or tournament entry fees. It takes a while, but they put it into your account $20 at a time.
There is ABSOLUTELY nothing to worry about with pokerstars of fulltilt in terms of the stability.
Pokerstars gives a 100% bonus for a deposit as little as $50 I think

Full Tilt Poker is pleased to continue offering deposit bonuses to new players. New sign-ups will receive a 100% matching bonus up to $600 on your initial deposit to Full Tilt Poker.
Here's how!
Ring Games
For each dollar raked from a pot, every player who was dealt cards for that hand 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.
Each point is worth $.06, so you can earn up to $18 per hundred hands.

The bonus amount will be automatically credited to your Bonus Account where it will be held and released to your cash account in increments of 10% of your initial deposit, or $20, whichever you earn first. So if you do a one-time deposit of $100, each $10 (10%) earned will be instantly released into your account. Deposit the full $600 and your account will get credited for each $20 of bonus earned. At three points per hand, each $20 increment can be earned in fewer than two hours of play at only one table.

All I can say is what I did 6 months ago Primetime. I had been on fulltilt for along time, and then matt24 told me about the rakeback deals. I didnt even KNOW about them! Well I signed up through his website and gave him my ID, which he already knew anyway, and I got on the rakeback. It was easy. It site may be different though
I understand. Either matt has a sweet deal with someone or you got in during a grace period when FT was allowing people to get RB even if they had already signed up with FT months or years earlier.
The point is that you do not know if pyro will be able to get that same deal (maybe yes, maybe no). ANd since it is free, it is astonishing to me that you would even hint to anyone that they should sign up without rakeback.
I know you aren't doing anything with bad intentions, but the advice is still bad and can cost people money down the road.
Thanks for the help fellas.
Just signed up with rake back, haven't deposited yet though. Going to play in a few Play Money Free Rolls to get familiar with everything and hope everything goes well.
Any other tips/suggestions you may have in regards to Full Tilt, I'm all ears.

I also agree with this. Think playing online poker is great when its linked with your sportsbook. That way you can deposit money simply by transfering from the book to poker. Pokerworld.com is also participating in the %100 initial deposit bonus but only on a hard deposit which does not include transfers. But you still get bonuses on transfers at a 20% rate. And their requirements are not as strict as some other sites.
No max to the bonus you can recieve. No rollover. Just play to get it released. For example, if you transfered $500.00 you would get $100 in bonus and they put that in the form of bonus bucks in your account. Then you need to play to get that turned into real money. For every $5 raked you will get $1 real money and they free that real money out of your bonus bucks in increments of $10. If you make a withdrawal which includes transfers back to sportsbook you are not eligible for another 20% bonus for the next 30days. So you should be expecting 1 bonus a month since the goal is to withdraw money and not only deposit it.
Why this is so great? If you have 10k in your book you could transfer that to poker room and get the 2,000 bonus bucks applied in your account and immediately transfer the 10k back. Now all you got to do is work on getting it released. Obviously the more you deposit the more the bonus and the more you have to play. But there is no deadline so you cant take your time and know that you have 2k sitting there waiting on you to come get it. So they are basically paying you as you play. Think this is a rewarding system. Can play as little or much as you want and still get the money. As far as rollovers go, must people lose their money in the process of the 5x rollover most sites have. and they are force to keep there money in the account until it is met if they want the bonus. With this way you can withdraw if you want come back 6months later and still have that bonus waiting for you.
Thats fine. I didnt mean to sound like i was suggesting that he sign up first without getting the rakeback. I just said that I thought that he could do it.
But now I see what the problem might be. If you sign up using the link from those sites, then those people get referral bonuses and a small piece of the losses. But maybe they ONLY get that if you referred them to the site.
I am glad that he signed up for the rakeback before hand. I dont any money from it either way. I havent been playing too much at fulltilt in the past 3 months. But i may make a $400 deposit this week to play in a few tournaments. Hopefully it goes well, but it probably wont
