Cryptos rake at 1/4 points so as long as you get a $5 pot you get .25 points. So you end up with three flavors of bonus grinding:
Mind Numbingly Boring and very tedious: .5/1 FLH tables it rakes generally 30-50% of the hands
Annoying yet tolerable: 1/2 FLH rakes roughly the same amount but the frequency of larger pots helps it clear a tad faster.
Big Gulp: 2/4 FLH and up clears about 70-80% raked and is the only way to really clear most crypto bonuses in a reasonable time.
Schooling: Crypto really wants to cater to the casino crowd since most sites are part of a casino (except for PokerPlex). Casino players are used to seeing 2/4 FLH and up only so they start there. Bonus chasers play at the lowest +EV level possible so they start there. That is why Crypto came up with the quarter point (MPP) to push the two groups of poker players together.

Is this reload still valid, because I see nothing on it in the bonuses page? Also, is a $1,00 rake raked hand requirement doable for FR $0,50/$1,00 NL? It says on the bonus grid that Sun has the fourth highest hourly rate on those limits, but it seems to me that a really small portion of the hands would actually be raked so that this would be the equivalent of a 15x or 20x B2B bonus (where rake has to be around or over $0,30).
Thanks.
It would have to be an insanely loose game or just juiced cards getting dealt for a .50/1.00 game to get raked 1.00. Nevermind consistently.

Thanks for any help clarifing this
First of all, you need to have signed up through BW. Did you?
Secondly, the bonus works like this:
the first 200 raked hands (Crypto raked hand definition) will clear $40 from the monthly bonus
the next 1,000 raked hands (Crypto raked hand definition) will clear the $100 BW reload

Sign up

I'm assuming the signup and monthly will clear at the same time. I will then have to play the 1,000 hands to get the reload. Is this correct? Thanks
Yes, that's correct. The raked hands are the Crypto definition (hands raked less than $1 count as 1/4 of a raked hand). | | Static Link |
