Have read most of the thread and do not see the answer to my questions:

1. Is the 5X bonus a 5X points bonus or a true 5X raked hands bonus?

[/ QUOTE ]
It's based on HW points. You get .7 points for each $1 in raked money, or a fraction thereof.

[ QUOTE ]
. If it is 5X raked hands, what is the lowest limit it can clear at?

[/ QUOTE ]
I wouldnt' want to try at less than .5/1. Bonuswhores doesn't list anything lower.

[ QUOTE ]
3. What qualifies as a raked hand? Does the pot have to reach a certain $ amount to qualify?

[/ QUOTE ]
See answer to #1. It's based on points, not raked hands. If there is 10c rake, then you get .07 points.

Thanks for the response. Has anyone attempted clearing this at .5/1? If so, what does it work out to in terms of a traditional raked hands playthrough bonus? Would 10X raked hands be a reasonable guess?

I actually have played some .5/1 there while teaching my wife how to play. It takes about 500 hands to clear 100 points ($20).

Um, 4 tabling 1/2 fullgets about 65 points an hour. so say thats 17 pts a table/hour and thats about 60 hands a table hour. Hence about 1 point fo reach 4 hands, which would make a 5x point = 20x hands, multiple that by 2 since .5/1 contributed half as much rake (about) and that makes it a 40x at .5/1. Then take into account that not all dealt hands are raked on a normal raked hands bonus, lets say 75% are usually rake, that would make this equivalent to a 30x rake hands bonus give or take at .5/1. Have a nice day.

You can't do the math that way in this case, because the 1/2 tables are ROCK tight right now and the .5/1 tables are still reasonably loose. At .5/1 limit, my wife is getting about 50 points per hour playing 4 tables.

From her play, i can see that it takes about 5000 total hands (all hands) to clear the 1000 player points.

A reminder for anyone doing this bonus.

You can get $200 BW bonus (5x) for signing up and then another $200 reload bonus (5x) at BW as well. Add this to your $75 RAF bonus (4x) and it's some nice change.

Question for anyone who's had luck stacking both the new player bonus and the reload bonus. I haven't cleared the new player bonus yet, but when I ty to deposit (Neteller) for the reload there is no box to put in the bonus code. Any ideas?

[Mathemagician]

Email support and ask them to add the code. Workded fine for me!
