Requirements for Bonus
This bonus is very nice since up to $144 is released immediately to the account. To clear the remaining $300, one must earn 14 comp points for each pending bonus dollar. So if one took advantage of the full bonus, they would need to earn 4,200 comp points (14 x $300) to unlock the pending $300. Players have 30 days to accumulate as many comp points as possible before any uncleared bonus money expires.

Hourly Rate
The hourly rates are calculated with the following assumptions:

Longhand Limit: 25% of flops seen, 2 big bets per flop seen, 45 hands per hour
Shorthand Limit: 35% of flops seen, 2 big bets per flop seen, 65 hands per hour
Longhand NL: 35% of flops seen, 5.5 big blinds per flop seen, 40 raked hands per hour
Shorthand NL: 50% of flops seen, 4 big blinds per flop seen, 55 raked hands per hour

Tournament Clearing Rate
Pacific Poker considers the tournament buy-in + fee a wager. Assuming that the tournament fee is 10% of the buy-in, the bonus results in a 55% reduction in tournament fees paid when clearing the bonus.

Best Suited For
Micro-, middle-, and high-limit players. Pacific is the only poker site that pays a bonus for playing at microlimits, and players of mid- or high-limit games can receive a larger bonus and work it off really quickly. Those playing nosebleed stakes can work this bonus off within an hour. Please note that the hourly rate calculations made several significant assumptions, so actual clearing rates may vary dramatically.
