Its the same in all SH games using this formula 7/x*0.5, where x is the clearance rate of your bonus.
So in terms of rakeback, bonuses at Ongame can be represented as:
5x: 140% full, 70% SH
7x: 100% full, 50% SH
10x: 70% full, 35% SH
12x: 58% full, 29% SH
15x: 46% full, 23% SH | | Static Link |

Is a 7.5X bonus at 1/2 pretty much like getting 100% rakeback?
A 7x bonus on the Ongame Network is like 100% RB. If you want to figure the RB %'s for the other bonuses just use "7/x", where x is the clearance rate. For example, a 10x bonus would be about 70% RB (7/10). For SH, multiply the rate by 0.5. A 10x bonus for shorthanded play would be like 35% RB.
Does that answer your question? | | Static Link |

Hate to burst your bubble but as previously stated you recieve points based on dealt rake, regardless of the number of hands you win.
This is how it works on all pokerroom skins.
If this was not the case none of us whores would play the ongame network as the bonus would distrupt on of the major fundamentals of whoring - Playing Tight!
Test your theory again and if what you say is actually happening then you need to contact support.

I dunno what crappy deal you are getting but I play tons on Ongame and on tons of different ongame skins and never had this riddiculous method of getting points calculated. As per their T&C I have found that you receive the same # of points if you fold preflop or win the pot - if you are dealt cards and the pot is raked you get pp's | | Static Link |

Double checked. 22,186 from September 18, 2005. On just Pokerroom (and network) sites.

You misunderstood. Im not saying will all the hands, just win some. The actual number of won hands in unimportant, what is important is that you win more hands then you did when you folded for the hour (which presumably is 0)

The points are based on dealt rake.
Also all these problems with the bonus seem absurd. You just need to contact them with a polite and well written message and you will surely get the bonus. | | Static Link |

| Posted by: GoldBoar at February 17, 2007, 4:35 pm | | Topic: PokerRoom bonus Points Forum: Bonus Whores | Guess I get to be the first to say this is complete and utter BS. From PokerRoom.com's Help page, choose "FAQ", then search for "rake":
"You do not have to pay rake to earn points. If you are sitting out you will not earn any points."
I've whored at Hollywood Poker, and this is how it works.

Be sure not to go over your head (and your roll) i was doing very good at .5/1 while clearing TG but points were too slow... so i went up to 1/2, points were smooth but i had a really bad night and end up loosing over $100 with a deposti of $170, 3 hours playing and a hell lot of ups/downs... im sure it was my fault but when i checked stats at PT i was ok, so many $20 pots suckouts...
I endup not being able to clear the bonus for trying to clear it faster, maybe of course your not such a donk like myself lol... | | Static Link |

| Posted by: superius at February 10, 2007, 11:55 am | | Topic: PokerRoom bonus Points Forum: Bonus Whores | Hard to say if its right or not. I've found the OnGame network is very inconsistent in the clearance of bonuses at times. Some times you are on and it is donkey city and there are routinely huge pots worth a lot of player points and other times almost all the tables are 25% preflop and small pots. Since the points you get are proportionate to the rake paid, bigger pots clear the bonus faster.
Also when I first started I played .5/1 limit and found it BRUTAL on the OnGame network to clear bonus. Now that was over a year ago and changes have been made that help, but you clear bonus so much faster at 1/2 there that you may want to consider a shift up if your roll can support it and you are consistently winning at the .5/1 | | Static Link |
| Posted by: nobi at February 10, 2007, 6:27 am | | Topic: PokerRoom bonus Points Forum: Bonus Whores | I am doing the signup, but got credited just 85 PP for over 2 hours of play
with 3 tables on limit 050/1$.
That cant be right I guess. Who knows somethting about this?
When I started I calculated 67 PP for 1 hour 3 tabling. But now and a few hours before it seems that it became harder to clear... | | Static Link |
