Other Math (Bonus points for cash value)
Party offered me $250 if I accumulated ~5000 of their points between 10/5 and 10/31. So far I have accumulated about 2200, or 44% of what they require. In so doing, I have generated $925 of rake for them, according to PT.
If I hit exactly 5000 hands, then I will have generated about $2000 for Party in rake, of which I will have about 12.5% returned to me. Note that if I play less hands, I get 0% and if I play more, I get a declining percentage of my rake back. (Presumably, however, playing more would make me eligible for a bigger bonus the next month.)
If this is all that Party offers, players will have an opportunity to get about 8-10% of their rake back. That's not bad, but it's not clear whether the softer games make up for the fact that in the end, players will be paying more rake at Party than they will at sites which offer a rake back program (assuming comparable rake structures).
