Cash table question

Ok, just got an email from a poker site I hardly use that they're gonna put $20 into my account for free.(woohoo!) And also, if I meet the requirements, I will also get a great poker shirt that I really like and want(hoping it might be a winner with the ladies(hey, we all have a dream)), anyway, the requirements are that I must play 75 raked games or more at a minimum of .50 cents. I checked my account there and have £25 in total. I really want this t-shirt. Now, I'm a tight-agressive player, but mostly play sng's/small stake MTT's. Couple of questions:
1, Ive forgotten what a raked hand is, as never bother about them, and,
2, Whats my strategy to make the requirement? Play top 10 hands etc?
If one of you cash players can help I'd be eternally grateful.
Thanks,
KD
PS I know I could probably build this money up at small stake sngs, but i consider it a freebie, and have a chance of not only building up my br, but also getting the t-shirt.

1. A raked hand is a small portion of each pot taken by the house. The percentage taken varies by site, and obviously, the higher the limits, the more the rake. Make sure to look over your sites rules and guidelines as to what they consider a "qualifying" raked hand.

2. Given that the size of your bankroll is small, I would be sure to play limit HE, rather than NL at first, and play very tight. Many sites only have a requirement that you be dealt into a hand to get credit for a raked pot (even if you fold), but some require that you actually contribute to the pot.

75 raked hands shouldn't be hard to reach at all. Check with the site to see specifically what qualifies for a raked hand. The amount of rake usually has to reach a certain amount, and varies depending on table limit size.

Good luck!

jQ is absolute right with this (to quote "My Cousin Vinny", she is "Dead on, balls accurate.)
In my experience, nearly all sites simply require you to buy into a real money table and be dealt hands. As long as the hand is played and raked by the house, it counts.

While this is the norm in my experience, jQ is also right that there are some that have some goofy rules so it is best to find out first. If they have something screwy, you could wind up paying for the shirt than if you just bought it.
