To earn credit for a raked hand you have to have put money in the pot. If you play a game like 7-stud with an ante it is no big deal. If you play a game with blinds, most of your hands should be folded without betting any money. You might only play 20% to 30% of the hands, so the number of hands needed to earn each dollar in bonuses is considerably higher than it might appear.

Secondly, 7x means that for each bonus 1$ you have to play 7 raked hands.
Thirdly, 30% up to $300 means that the maximum bonus = $300.
To get $300 you have to deposit $1000, ie the bonus = 30% of what you deposit, up to a maximum of $300.
In your case with $270 bankroll, if you deposited you would get $81 bonus ie 30% of your $270 deposit. To clear the bonus you would need to play 7x (clearance rate) x $81 (bonus amount) = 567 Raked hands.
About $333, well I would steer clear of CONTRIBUTED rake, especially with such a small bankroll. In case you decide to, it works out at 5.9x bonus (650 raked hands for $111) ie 5.9 raked hands for each bonus 1$.
Good luck.

firstly, what does it mean when a site says that you will get your (this is an example) 30% of up to 300 dollars (bonus cleared at 7x bonus).
Also, I was looking at the poker333 bonus and dont understand the following:
$333 Deposit Bonus. Make any sized deposit at Poker333. Play 650 contributed raked hands at limits at or above 1/2 for each $111 in bonus. The total bonus is $333. Bonuses are credited within 72 hours after the requirements have been met.
If someone could give me examples using 270 dollars (as this is my current bankroll) then that would be great.
I know its questions, questions, questions but I am new and aint got a clue!!!!!!!!
Cheers people
