aren't they raked like the other cryptos (i.e. $1 rake out of a $20 pot counts as 1 raked hand)?

That will probably be the case for the November bonus.
<ul type="square"> A raked hand is defined as any hand where at least $1 (or £/€, depending on the table) is taken as rake. Every hand you are dealt cards and the total pot is $20 or more, a raked hand will be counted towards your bonus. You do not have to contribute to the pot for the hand to be counted as raked.
Further to this, every hand you play where between $0.25 and $0.99 (or £/€, depending on the table) rake is taken will count as 1/4 (one quarter) of a raked hand.[/list]This was in the October 27th PokerPlex newsletter/e-mail. It was for a promotion in October requiring 2000 raked hands, not the monthly bonus. However, I'd bet 5 against 1 that the new PokerPlex bonus will be a 5/4 version of the Caribbean Sun Poker bonus.
For the October $50 bonus, the 300 hands do not have to be raked.
