Bodog Bonus Clearing Question

[spino1i]

It says on the Bodog webpage: "You will accumulate Bodog Poker Points by playing in ring games when you have contributed to a pot that is raked. Points are awarded based on the following table:" and it goes on with a table.

My question is, if you fold pre-flop (and not in the blinds) and other players see a flop and pay a rake, do you contribute to the pot or not? Do you have to actually contribute money to the pot to "contribute" to the pot? Anyone know from experience?

Thanks for the clarifing..
