This is so goddamned aggravating. In July there is an iron man mid year bonus, where your accumulated status from January - June gets you qualified for bonus money depending on your status earned every month. Well I was eligible for $200 in bonus money. In June I played just enough days to get bronze status.
But came up short about 10 points two times in the last few days. So I emailed FTP support to see if they could do anything to award me my bonus money anyway.
Hello dumb shmuck,
Thank you for contacting Full Tilt Poker Support.
Upon review of our records, I see that you were two days short of qualifying for the bronze level during the month of June.
Unfortunately, missing two days is a significant difference in qualifying for a level in the Iron Man Challenge. Therefore, I regret to inform you that we will be unable to adjust your status in the Iron Man Challenge for the month of June.
Having said that, I am pleased to see that you have already earned 68.9 Full Tilt Points on July 1 and are well on your way to qualifying for an Iron Man level this month.
If there's anything else we can help you with, please feel free to ask. Best of luck at the tables!
Regards,
Vanessa

I missed it by 20 points. TWENTY!!!! That's like fucking virtually $3 in rake. $3 in rake is grounds for losing $200? Such bullshit especially since I've been a loyal FTP player for so long. I'm one of the biggest advocates for FTP not being rigged but this bullshit negates all the bad beats I've suffered on stars. Nickel and diming pricks. Stars, here I come. Treat me like the princess I am.
