Party changed theit raked hand definiton (now participated hands).
 

During depositing on recent reload bonus I got this on e-mail:

[ QUOTE ]
A raked hand is any hand in which a rake (house drop) is taken out of the pot. A player is
considered to have played a raked hand if he or she has contributed 1 cent or more in rake in
that hand.

[/ QUOTE ]

compare it with what I got last month:

[ QUOTE ]
A raked hand is any hand in which a rake (house drop) is taken out of the pot. To accumulate
raked hands you need to participate in hands (any game, any limit) where a rake is collected.
Hands played at tournaments are not counted towards the raked hands count since rake is not
collected in tournaments.

Is not party raked hands is not dealt hand with rake?

Anyone can confirm or disprove it?

And if it's true - what a conversion rate of new raked hands to dealt hands?

i think contribution to rake means you can get cards and fold still

link?

edit: nevermind i see you say it's in an email....

double edit: im skeptical of the wording of that sentence that mentions "1 cent." smells fishy.

Re: Party changed theit raked hand definiton (now participated hands).
 

this affects rakeback significantly then

That's a point!

For now I playing throught this reload and will say my conversion ratio ASAP.

I wonder if anyone can say about it....

I know somebody that was offered a reload bonus in oct. 30% up to 100 and he had to play the usual amount of hands (700). Raked hands were counted as they usual are.
This though happened before the skin split, so the definition of raked hands might have changed since then.

Maybe this will help. I played 632 hands last night with a vpip of 15.62 and 300 hundred counted towards bonus.

Well. Looks like nothing changed. Why do they bother to change their e-mail template...

I think it's because they changed the rake on $25 NL/PL so that it's possible for a player to have < $0.01 attributed in a hand, and either they don't want to credit those for bonuses or the system can't handle it.
