party new player freeroll, how do you qualify?

there is a $5,000 freeroll on Party for new players on wednesday nights.

anyone know the specifics on qualifying? it says you just have to make your first real money deposit. i suspect you also have to play a certain number of raked hands.

if i do an affiliate signup, a refer-a-friend, or a bonus code, will i still be eligible for the freeroll?
