this what I call a 'proportional contributed rake' system. Action network in Canada does a similar structure as Tribeca. here's how it works:

a) you must contribute, blind or ante into the pot to count.
b) the percentage of the pot which is your money at the end of the hand, that the the same percentage of action points you will receive based on the rake collected for that same hand.
c) each Action point represents 1 cent of contributed rake.

so lets say a pot reaches $24 at the end and is raked $1, and you put in $8 out of that $24 (33.3%), then you should receive 33.3 action points. if you fold one of the blinds to a raise preflop, you'll get a miniscule amount of points. if you fold preflop without being a blind, you receive zero points.

this system obviously clears fastest in higher limit games, particularly shorthanded. also note that the number of action points required per $1 of bonus is important. the doyle's "old" bonus of 35% up to $135 needs 100x points per bonus $1, so it's 100% contributed rakeback. the so-called "super" bonus of 110% up to $550 requires 200x points per bonus $1 which is 50% rakeback.
