    It might be confidential, but does anyone know what all players get when they sign on with a site? Can any signed pro's comment on this? Obv it must be a pretty good deal, but didn't know if you get money up front, or free buy-in's to tournaments or what... Thx

    Rakeback, hourly rate, prob buy-ins to some $10k+ events sporting their gear, etc.

    I remember Raymer saying awhile back that pokerstars pays him a 6 figure salary, buy-ins to events, plus bonuses for final tables wearing gear, all expenses paid for travel to tourneys to represent the site, etc...

    Pretty much living the dream.

    Friends of Full Tilt (i.e. those who don't have stake in company, but are still red pros).

    $35/hr plus 100% of rakeback. Not sure about incentives for Final Tables and such in live events. I'm sure they are also bought into some big events as well.

    May not sound like a lot but it sure adds up to a bunch.
