is a skin?)
Notes on how bonuses are released:
Immediately: Bonus amount is added to your account immediately and you may
play with those chips, but you may not cash out the bonus dollars until
you have cleared them. If you do try to cash out the bonus dollars,
they will be forfeited.
$10 increments: When you have accumulated $10 in bonus money cleared, you
will receive $10 in real money.
Continuously: On UltimateBet you will immediately receive bonus
compensation for points earned at a table, when you stand up from that
table.
One lump sum: Entire bonus is released once you have
played the required number of hands.
Hourly rate assumes 50 hands dealt per hour and is based
on a typical percentage of hands that will be raked at each limit.
For Pacific Poker it is assumed you will play about 20% of your hands.
