    $7.50 increments. Multitabling decent fixed holdem games will release it quick like $5/$10.

    If you are playing low limit tournament games, the bonus is very difficult to clear. Playing most $5 45 man's, I probably played 5 or 6 hours (guessing here) to clear out the first $7.50 increment (I was 2-3 tabling most of the time). FT bonuses take a long time to clear at the lower levels, so if you are only playing for the bonus, you may want to rethink it. If you want to play there anyway, and treat the bonus as a bonus, then it's nice (note, I love the site, but clearing bonuses is at best diffiult).

    Yeah, you have to play cash games to clear it quickly, limit 5-10 and up (8-16 or 10-20 it clears really fast since the rake maxes out on most hands), or NL 2-4 and up. Still will clear much faster in lower stakes cash games than low stakes SnG's.

    Yeah any cash games are basically good for clearing it quickly.

    i put in 500 on the first of the month. and have been 12 tabling 25nl for 2 hrs a day. Ive cleared like 440

    also they give it to you in 10% increments up to 20 dollars. so if you put 150 in its $15 increments. and if you put 600 its 20.

    It should release at $20 increments. The last bonus released at $7.50 increments but it was a $75.00 bonus.

    Playing enough to clear it before it expires is more important than clearing it as fast as possible. If you play three or four tables of .50/$1 NL 6MAX for a few hours a night you should be able to clear the whole bonus before it expires.
