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..

You have to actually put money in the pot. This can be playing the hand to showdown, limping in and folding to a raise, or even folding in the small or big blind.

Once you commit any money to the pot you get full credit for the pot regardless of the size. If you're at a $25 no-limit table and two people each go all-in for $50 and you fold the small blind you still get full credit for the pot.

It seemed like they would give you partial credit for times you folded, and every orbit, you would get some points. Maybe it just seemed that way to me.

One bonus about Bodog's bonus is, they give you credit every day for time played. Also, you get full credit for tournament table fees paid.

Well, you are guaranteed to contribute to at least two pots per orbit at a holdem game....

It's still a good clearance rate, since 3x contributed is about the same as 10x dealt, if not a little better.

I hate this site and I have my 16 yr old son 3-tabling the play money tables to earn points. He can put starcraft on hold for a few days. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

You earn points on play money that count toward the bonus?

[Ted Metro]

Yes, you earn 1 Bodog point per 'table hour' whether it's at cash or play money games.

-------------------
Time spent playing: You will accumulate Bodog Poker Points for every minute spent playing at a table. 1 point is awarded for every 60 minutes of play. All time spent 'playing' (sitting out is not 'playing time') at free games, real money games, and during tournaments counts towards points earned. 500 points earned for playing time is the maximum value that can be accumulated per calendar month.

It clears super fast, just play and find out.

[MakesCents]

is it 6pts per $1 bonus? so they are paying you 16.667 cents an hour basically.

[Ted Metro]

3 points per $1, and the clearance rates are estimated here

It is significantly higher than $.16 per hour.
