We have worked with Sun Poker to increase the rakeback percentage from 25% to 32%.
Mark, our Sun Poker rep, posts here at FTR under the handle CaribbeanSunPoker. One of the reasons we recommend Sun Poker is because of our close relationship with Mark. He goes out of his way to take care of folks who sign up through FTR.
How are the 50 NL FR tables on sunpoker?
Thanks for the kind words Eric.
All new and existing Sunpoker members will receive between 32-35% rakeback based on the amount of rake generated during the month.
$0-$999 = 32% rakeback
$1,000 and up = 35% rakeback
Note, bonuses are NOT deducted from your rakeback amount, so you can clear the bonuses AND receive rakeback from Sunpoker at the same time. Not too shabby.
If you want to keep track of your rakeback each month, simply enter the last 7 digits of your account number and your player name here: http://www.flopturnriver.com/Referra...ake-Meter.html {link updated by Eric (word censor issue)}
The rakemeter is updated once daily.
How do you sign up? Simply download and register for an account through this link: Sunpoker
Good luck at the tables! :)

CaribbeanSunPoker: i haven't played there in quite some time but i was a previous registered rakeback member thru FTR would this new increase apply to me if i come back and make a new deposit, or would i have to notify certain individuals of this promotion??!?? Thank You
Great. Any comments about the tables at Sun Poker?
What a shame I joined Sun Poker through a different RB provider a mere 10 days ago. Sorry FTR :(
Yes, this new increase will apply to you when you start playing again and make another deposit.Quote:

Mark, I have an account but have never played there (I think...maybe an FTR freeroll). Can I get this rb deal applied to my account?
Hi Warpe,
Please send your Sunpoker player username via PM and I will verify if you are signed up under FTR and eligible for rakeback.
Thanks,
Mark
Dislexsik and kyc12,
Sun Poker is part of the CryptoLogic network. This means tables are shared with players from PokerPlex, InterPoker, WilliamHill and ClassicPoker. Please check out our reviews of each of these rooms and take a look at the Ease of Making Money/Fish Rating sections to get more info about the tables.
TY Mark!
Um...any first deposit bonuses available?
100% up to $50 first deposit bonus.
$100 reload
Mark
Damn.. All this time I've been whoring their monthly bonus without rakeback because I assumed that they deducted bonuses... Any way I can close my account and get a new hookup? :P Or join another crypto (other than willhill, interpoker, sunpoker) with the same deal?Quote:

Also KoRnholio, have you considered promoting Sunpoker on your poker blog? Would be another great way to earn some poker money.
Thanks,
Mark
Usually 2-4 going. But you can also choose from about the same number of 25NL British Pound tables. That works out to about $45NL tables. I personally like the site. Good luck.Quote:

I am pretty sure I signed up through an affiliate, either PSO or VPP :(Quote:

I'm afraid I signed up to Sun Poker through BonusWhores already because of the (then) better rate.
It's great that FTR have got the improved deal.
Is there any chance that FTR members will be able to get the additional $100 15x bonus that bw offers?
I'd rather be recommending FTR's deal and if this was part of it there'd be no contest.
Yes, in fact FTR will be offering an extra $100 bonus on top of the $150 bonus for new players at Sunpoker.com. This will be starting in October.Quote:

is it possible to clear the monthly bonus' playing $25NL?
Absolutely. You just need 500 MPPs (my poker points) for the monthly $100 at Sunpoker.com.
Thanks,
Mark

Do I need to wait until October for the extra bonus or is it already set up? What's the procedure for all these bonuses? Download the FTR link, and is there any codes? I wanna get this right if I'm going to switch sites. Sounds great, bye bye pacific.
Here are the details: http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...oker-43352.htm
This starts in October. You would just need to sign-up via the FTR link. You can sign up at anytime.
There is no bonus code needed for the reward bonus.

Where exactly is the account number found?Quote:

(Signed up today)
Thanks!
I think that this is one of the best deals around. I love the way that deposit bonuses are stackable and the loyalty bonus is concurrent.
And rakeback. Mmmmmmm. Rakeback.
Your account number would be C30XXXXXXX where XXXXXXX is your account number you would enter to track your rakeback.
Thanks,
Mark
Yes, I just cleared $50 sign up playing $25 NL.Quote:

It isn't easy to clear. I did it playing mostly 2-3 tables.
Your average for three tables will be around $3 per hour + $3 per hour rakeback. I believe I have been averaging $10 / hr playing 3 tables if you work in my winning as well.
Final stats from pokerspy: 2100 hands $95.25
This equals 9.07Bigbets/ 100 hands.
Actually I am up $100.88, pokerspy doesn't kick-in to after one hand has been played at the table.
I just cashed out $200 and bought back in for $100 for the SEP100 bonus.
If I play 3 tables it will take 33 hours to clear!!!
Either I need to increase the tables, or the limits, or go to 6MAX
OR ALL THREE AT ONCE !!!!! :shock:
Good luck!!!
Thanks for the report Krazy - So Sun is maybe a bit short still on players (like the 2500 or so the review sites?) - But the RB and bonus' sound pretty good - I can play 6max so I may just have to go there as soon as I clear the Pokerroom bonus (1 more night) -
the Reload bonus of $100 - is that once per month? Or is that part of the 500MPPS? Would we need to cash out and THEN reload monthly?
thanks again
The $100 reload is once per month. It takes 500 MPPs to clear monthly. These are also stackable.Quote:

No you don't need to cash out to reload. Make sure when you sign-up through the FTR link to get the rakeback bonus as well. If you don't then you won't get the RB. Yes it is short on players, I'm not sure but maybe there are more players at the beginning of the month. Guess I will find out in a couple of days.Quote:

Sun Poker won't accept my OCT100 bonus code. It's the same error message that InterCasino gave me when I tried to enter the bonus code there (which I later figured out is because I'm in the US).
Has Sun bonus banned US players the way InterPoker has?
Sun Poker doesn't require reload codes - you just deposit the $100. Unless things have changed in the last few days? Mark from Sun, what's the score?
(hmm, I deposited my $100 on Sunday but haven't had a chance to check it went through. Didn't get an error code though)
Not sure yet. With the recent bill on Friday, I am waiting for some official confirmation from Sunpoker and Crypto.
Thanks,
Mark
If I were a poker site I'd be encouraging new US players for the 270 days before things change forever.
What do you mean 270 days?Quote:

Does anyone know if Sunpoker will post rakeback payments this week for September? In contacting them, they wouldn't answer that directly, only to say that bonus and reward money won't be available to U.S. players. I think a lot of people might get screwed out of a decent amount of money if they don't. What good is a rakeback increase if they won't even payout?
A general question: how many of you U.S. players out there are actually going to be playing right now?
I do think, you need to type OCT100. That's what I did. And it worked. But I am not an American. (I am afraid Crypto has banned US-Citizens, I read such thing a few hours somewhere in the net. For Crypto it seems to be a minor problem, because of fewer Americans than at other sites.)Quote:

Crypto will not be accepting US customers anymore. This includes Sunpoker. This is a decision made by the Cryptologic network. This is why the bonus did not work for you yesterday.
This is a terrible turn of events and I'm extremely sorry for those US players that enjoyed playing the game of poker at Sunpoker. Due to the recent legislation, this course of action was determined to be the safest route for a publicly traded company like Cryptologic.
I'm a Britisher, and I checked last night - my bonus had still not gone into my account despite my deposit having successfully left Neteller. If this is a short-term blip then it's understandable given the circumstances, but perhaps I should contact Sun's help desk direct?
Yes, please check with the Sunpoker customer support.
Thanks.
is Crypto doing this immediately, or are they going to do the 270 day window?
They are doing this starting today, October 3rd at 12 noon EST.
Mark,
Thanks for keeping everyone informed, we really appreciate it.
Ditto - Thanks Mark - hopefully we can get the PPA to fight and get this ridiculous law extinguished...in the meantime, i hope Sun finds enough business abroad -
so is it really the publicly traded companies that have the most to lose, and are thus pulling out right away? If so, what sites may be around still?
BattlefieldPoker has a nice rakeback program and they're still taking US players at the time of this writing.Quote:

Having someone like Mark here who can answer questions and help people out is a huge plus for Sun Poker, we can't say enough good things about them.
Suprise Suprise, another site closes it's doors to US players.Quote:

This shows no faith whatsoever in the PPA's struggle to overturn the bill, (providing exclusion to poker based on taxation and regulation).
The players need the support of the sites to at least continue business as usual untill you actually hear a knock on the door.
Just gotta speak out about the CYA response vs. sticking up for online poker and the game in general.
Suppose the PPA, (without most of the sites help at this point), does turn it around. Are US players going to flock back in droves after all this.
Sure, we're a minority at this point as far as this is concerned, but what's around the corner for online poker?
I think that people who like playing online poker WILL come back, albeit in smaller numbers, if the law is overturned. And the poker sites themselves will have effectively a virgin market so just watch the marketing budgets explode!
If you are upset about the recent decision, I would urge you to contact your congressperson and express your opinion. I know this sounds like a broken record, but every little bit helps.
Mark
Anyone know if US players will be paid? Have any of you non-US guys gotten your rakeback yet?
Per http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...yers-44470.htm balances for US players will be sent by check.
