Absolute - do antes count for "contributed" hands?

If I play Stud H/L does my ante make all hands count for rakeback?

It is weighted contributed from what I understand so you would only get your % share of the pot that was yours. Antes don't make a hand count towards the bonus either.

I wrote Absolute about this. If you play 0.05-0.10 NL and the pot gets raked over 0.50 the 10 cents blind makes it a valid hand (bonus vise). In stud you pay e.g. 20 cents ante and it doesn't count -not very logical.

The Blind would not count bonuswise. You HAVE to see the flop for your hand to count.
One extreme example:
You raise $10 preflop and get re-raised and re-re-raised and then you decide to fold.
If there is a flop, your contributed $10 doesn't count towards the bonus,even when your conributed share of the rake is $0.50.
