View Full Version : Explain to me like a child :
What this whole business is about.
What exactly does 7x, 14x, 20x mean?
Why do some sites that both have 10x for example, clear at different rates?
Thanks : )

Like a child? Ohhhkayy
You see that little "x" you're asking about? That is often used as a symbol for multiplication.
So when you see 10x, this means "ten times"
Bonuses have raked-hands requirements in ring games only (at most sites, there are some exceptions).
There is also usually a threshold for what makes a "qualifying" raked hand.
Most sites only require that you be dealt into the hand. A few sites require that you contribute to the pot.
In the example of "ten times," to clear $1 in bonus money, you must play ten qualifying hands that are raked.
Leveraging the above information, you should be able to read the T&C's of any bonus and site rules and figure the rest out for yourself.
Don't come back all shocked that hands raked $0.05 aren't counting on some sites. Read the T&C's and enjoy.

No, its about using bonuses to avoid going broke while you learn to play well. Then making money from poker with bonus money as just a little extra gravy.

Well, the thread was started by Noam Chomsky, though that does make me wonder how he failed to parse the whole thing himself.

Just because you're jewish doesn't mean you can't be an anti-semite.

10X means you play 10 raked hands for each $1 in bonus money. so it looks like 10/1x or 10raked hands for 1dollar bonus money.
for example, at paradise, you must play 100 raked hands for $10 in bonus money. So it is essentially 100/10x or just 10x.
7x is 7raked hands for every dollar...etc.

Actually I was thinking of doing paradise. So you've done this bonus? Is it not a cent until I hit 100 raked hands, then $10, or is it $0.10 cleared for every raked hand?

they release at every 100 hands/ $10. Some sites release NOTHING until you clear it all! Paradise has no expiration date, which, of course, is good.
