Bonus clears slowly, very few games, very tight games. The search function will give you any information you need beyond that.

Tight games?

All the games I've played there are full of maniacs.

Actually saw an $84 pot at .05/.10 NL.

5 players all-in preflop.

the small NL games can be incredibly good at random times. The limit games are some of the tighter on the net.

I think at the micro limits it will take 100K hands to clear. You get a % of a player point for each raked pot and then x amount of player points is $1.00. I forget the exact numbers but if you go to the website, they explain it in more detail.

I don't know how tight the games are, but last time I checked there were only 14 people playing .5/1 limit HE.

Did you really bump this after just 20 minutes? If you're that impatient, do some research.

Their bonus qualifies as the arse-end of the online poker universe. Watching leaves fall off of your trees this fall has a higher EV than trying to clear that bonus.

The bonus gives you essentially a year of high-percentage rakeback. Just put in your $500 (or however much you want), check it out for 3 days (you can't cash out for 72 hours). Then cash out if you like and you've reserved your bonus for a year.

The 2/4 and 3/6 limit games I've played were pretty tight, but sometimes weak and you can steal all over the place. The dealer's choice games are one of their unique offerings if you are into that.

As others mentioned, the micro/small NL tables are almost always running and soft, but really for now there's more consisent soft action elsewhere.
