Actually, it's a pretty crappy offer compared to the Bonus Packages they were offering up until yesterday. Under that promo, you could buy a $100 bonus package for 5000 points. Now, the same amount of points only gets you a $50+4 tournament ticket. I'm pretty glad I burned all my points on the bonus packages.

5000 pokerroom points is equivalent to a minimum of $50 on attributed rake paid, so on a net basis it's mathematically about the same in the end. however, since people like to play different games, it would have made more sense to leave both options available.
