has anyone tried this? is it worth it? it releases $100 at a time, but seems incredibly difficult to clear. thoughts?

your analysis is correct. basically it's just a big rakeback deal.

It's on the Pokerroom network, which has multiple other skins. Almost all of those have bonii that clear much faster.

What percentage does it work out to?

if you finish the entire deal (which includes the extra $1000 at the end), then it's 18x points to clear.

you earn 0.7 points for every dollar raked from the table, so that would work out to just under 39% rakeback for full ring, 19.5% shorthanded.

if you DON'T make it to the last free $1000 bonus, then it's 35% rakeback.

eurobet (euro poker) and pokerroom have much easier bonuses to clear, pm me if you want the bonus code or need help with it. I recomend euro's current $600 bonus, it's 6,000 points to clear. It is an all or nothing one though, but still you get I believe 2 months or more, not 100% certain.

The new bonus sucks. They had 15X (last $1,000 free for a total of 13.5X) a few months back.

I'd wait and see if they come up with something better.
