Can anyone explain Full Tilt players disappearing?

corpfan1 · #1 03-09-2007, 04:37 AM

Hey all,

While I was checking out Full Tilt stats, etc...I noticed some of my RMP not on my Full Tilt Report...so having all the time that I do (LOL)...I checked out reports for the last few months (Nov06 - Present).

I noticed that many players (all RMP) have mysteriously disappeared from month to month. The average was about 5 or 6 per month - but these were all big money players.

Because my revenue has increased steadily each month as I bring in new RMPs, I have not really noticed this until now.

Any ideas what could be going on here?

Thanks!

Oh dude, I seriously wish I could answer that question. That has happened to me numerous times on fulltilt, with huge players. All you can do is ask FT to clarify why the players are AWOL, usually the response is "ran out of money in the account", but you can never really know.

Go back a few months and find the usernames - then use the search feature to see if the players are still playing at FullTilt. If not - google their username and you can ususually find them on a poker forum (assuming they are a medium or high stakes player), then PM them saying your a fan and that you were wondering why you never see them on FTP anymore. Usually the answer will be: I am, just changed my name, my name is now ________. Gotta love FT

Can't say I've ever heard of that. I did ask one AWOL player and he said he quit poker or something similar.

Well it's because they signed up a 2nd account under an affiliate that gives rakeback!

That would be my guess also....

is that the point of the OP. I know we have problems from time to time. Also, I don't know if its changed but FTP used to be one of the best at catching people that sign up for second accounts.

I realize that people always find a way. Seems like such a simple fix just checking for duplicate IP's but the minute they start doing that some outfit figures it out and cheats it.

I noticed the same thing and i was just about to start a thread about it... I only have four players at FTP so it was very obv when 2 of them dissapeared! half my players gone. Even if they signed up for another account or stopped playing FTP shouldn't they still stay on my list of players?

i know they used to. Unless something changed. They are making some changes that relate to tiering, not sure if this has anything to do with that. It certainly appears that whenever you do anything related to tech it could get ugly fast.

I sincerely doubt that, they are very adament about not moving players if they're already linked to an affiliate.

I dont know what RMP is...so I can't explain it. As a Rakeback affiliate, I can only say that our players are listed whether or not they generate rake or not, so we've never seen players disappear.
