Newbie Question About First-Deposit Promotions

1) Would I still qualify for the first deposit promotion?

(it's ok if I don't because they have a reload bonus too, just not as good)

Probably, you could email support.

2) When they say "150% up to $750 free" does mean that if I deposit $500 then they'll give me an additional $750?

Yes

3) The site says "they are paid/cleared incrementally at the ratio of $1/75vip in $5 lots." What exactly does this mean? How much would I have to wager before I get the full amount back.

You will have to play a LOT (or play high stakes, which I guess you wont) to release the full amount, but since it comes in nice $5 increments it doesn't matter if you dont clear the whole thing.

Finally, all we do is play SNG games. Would this factor into anything here? It's ok either way because for the bonus we'd be willing to explore other types of games.

Not sure whether cash or SNG is better for clearing bonuses. Just play what you enjoy imo.

Thanks.
