But someone like Effexor has a greater chance of getting a big bonus because FTP want them to play more/come back. Same with micro guys who might get more bonus than they can comfortably clear. FTP wants them to step up outside of good BRM to try to clear the entire bonus.
Don't make the mistake of thinking FTP doesn't want you to clear the bonus so they don't have to pay. That's not true. FTP makes the most money from you if you clear your entire bonus. More bonus clearing equals more, not less, money for FTP.
Lilli, you can go to ---> Request---> check my bonus offer, then you accept the bonus there. If you already accepted, in your Cashier enter to bonus amount and should appear the info.

1700 points to release the $100Yes, it will hit your rb. Those with rb will effectively get 73% of the bonus amount after the rb hit. It's still free money so not taking it to avoid the hit would be unsmart.
No your confusion comes I think from the fact that you're mixing up your rb with MGR. The $100 will be deducted from your MGR not your RB. So you'll lose 27% of the total deduction.
An example:
If you got offered a $100 bonus you need to earn 1667 points to clear it.
If you earn 7 points for every $1 in rake collected for tourneys you'll need to pay $238 in rake.
So you're MGR over that period will be $238 - $100 bonus = $138
You will get rb on the $138, so $37.26 + $100 bonus = $137.26 which effectively works out to ~57% rakeback while you're clearing the bonus.
Since 57>27 you'll want to take the bonus.
TYVM, WV, that make all clear.Oh yeah and I forget to prove that you're actually getting 73% of the bonus amount!
If you had no bonus you would earn $238 * .27 = $64.26 in rb.
73% of $100 = $73.
$73 + $64.26 = $137.26!!!
