. btw 12-tabling 50nl is a fast way to earn FPPs, it should take me about 13 hours playing time to get it.

Are you saying that you play 12 tables at one time?!?! If so, that's pretty damn impressive... especially if you're able to make a profit doing it! My current effective max is 4 tables at a time, but I am playing mostly Omaha Hi-Lo SnG's. The other day I mistakingly registered in 5 tournaments. It ended up being ok because 2 of them were Holdem, but if all 5 had been O8, I think I would have struggled. Not sure how many Holdem tables I could handle at a time, but since I play about 75% O8, I've never tried to max out on HE. Certainly it's a lot more straight forward and you can therefore manage more at the same time without a major risk of missing something... but, I still doubt I could manage more than 6-7 HE tables simultaneously.

Seems to me unless u play most of your waking hours most people will never make the bonus. If they made it alittle more realistic i think they would get more people to reload. I've given up on most reload bonuses. I get the feeling that's y they do it , so they don't have to pay them out. The only good thing I can remember about party poker is u knew where u stood in the number of hands u needed to play and they did'nt care if u played the smaller amount tables to get it.

Yes 12 at a time NLHE, there are at least 2 other members here that do that and many many more that do a few less (I've heard 6-8).
It's going to take me about 13 hours of pure playing in 3 months. Pretty sure I'll manage it without playing most of my waking hours. And of course that's the reason they do it. They want people to deposit, play above their BR, and most likely lose it without even earning the bonus. Then they have the choice to either deposit even more or just give up, both of which are profitable for pokerstars. They're not giving the bonus out of the kindness of their heart, it's a pretty good money-making scheme. If you know you can make it while playing with effective BRM (as you would normally) it's free money. If you can't you shouldn't do it, or you're the ones donating to those who can.
