... and it is a 25% to 100

I didn't play since the split, only about 50 hands a week ago to keep my 40K points.

I agree that 12x isn't that bad, but it's the fact that it has to be cleared in 7 days. I've never seen less than 30 days to clear a bonus anywhere. Why must they add this ridiculous requirement?

I can't remember the last Party reload that didn't have a 7 or 10 day playthru requirement.

(The signup bonus is 30 days, the IGMPAY bonus is 30 days, and some account-specific bonuses have been 30 days, but basically all the general reloads this year have been 7 days or 10 days).

Mine's 20% up to 100 at 7x

I cleared this bonus 10-tabling .50/1 in a little over three hours. My monitor is smallish, but it wasn't a problem with MTH (see software forum).

If you've got $250 in your roll, as you should have playing at .5/1, then it's really that easy. If you are uncomfortable multi-tabling, then bonus-whoring at any site is going to be difficult.

The days of the regular 7x and 5x reloads from PP are probably long gone. I wonder what took them so long?

I know others have complained about the misrepresented bonus, but mine was clearly stated as 12X.
