What’s this week’s poker question? Let’s dive straight in…
Question: I have an account with Full Tilt Poker.net. I haven’t dowloaded the .com software yet and haven’t been playing with real money. Can I create a .com account using one of the rakeback sites without any consequences, or would I have to stick with my .net account?
Thanks for the help guys. I think I’ll contact the support team before I do anything.

Answer: It’s against the TOS at Full Tilt to have more than one account. I’m pretty sure that the .net account is considered the same as .com. I wouldn’t risk messing with them on that front — they do tend to catch it and do suspend accounts. It’s a pain to have deposited and then find your account (with money) frozen. It’d really suck to be banned for that.
You might, however, want to contact support before you start playing with real money to see if there is some way to get rakeback once you start playing for real. Just talk to them. You might want to imply that you probably won’t deposit there if you can’t get rakeback, since you can sign up to other sites through rakeback places and get it. 
It might work, since they would rather you sign up for a real money account.

If you use a different e-mail address you can make another account. The rules state that you cannot have more than one account though. At the time I didn’t know this rule and made a second account (with different e-mail) at FullTilt to get rakeback and have not had any problems - have depsoited and cashed out several times. If you do try it be sure not to have two active accounts (money in two accounts). This was a couple of years back - things could have changed.

They are very likely to catch you and this will probably cause problems for you if you ever decide you want to make a withdrawal. If you email their support team at support@fulltiltpoker.com, they can usually switch you to a rakeback account (if you butter them up and they’re in a good mood).

If you are using different email addresses and different names then you can make a new account in Fulltilt poker. you need to authenticate your bank account for attaching it with this new account. OR as Jacjace said send an email to the support of fulltilt poker community to attach your account.
