Dear ____,

Thank you for contacting us.

With regards to your query, I would like to inform you that the "$500 match bonus" is a release restricted Signup Bonus of 100% max up to a $500.

Please note that your bonus has been added to your account, but it is not yet available for you to use.

You will be able to use this bonus amount,once you have completed five times the amount of the bonus in raked hands.

Since you have received a bonus in the amount of $500, just play (2500) raked hands before 24-AUG-2004 23:13, and your bonus will be available to use. You can always check the status of your bonus and how many raked hands you have played, just by clicking on the **Cashier** option on our Lobby, and then clicking on **Bonus Account**.

I deposited on the 24th of June so two months is the official answer, though the bonus doesn't have an expiry date when you look at your bonus account webpage.
