Poker Bonus...where is the catch?

[MidnightCowboy]

Hi All,

I'm no rookie but no expert either. I stumbled across a new microgaming www.paxpoker.com/bonus. Are the points realistic or is it some sort of catch?

Structure is as following

Deposit Bonus Required points
$20 $100 1500
$50 $250 3500
$100 $500 7000
$200 $1,000 14000
$500 $2,500 35000

Pax Poker Points are earned when a player contributes to the pot and the hand is a raked hand.

This is maybe 15% of hands if you play typically. To clear, say, the $100 bonus with play on .5/1, you need 1500 points, which is 3000 raked hands to which you contribute. This corresponds to 20,000 actual hands of play to make $100.
