What happens is, they give you $10 for free to play with. But to keep that $10 you have to play 100 raked hands (the rake has to be more than 25 cents too). If you lose the $10, then the loss is on them. But say you do what I did. Say you turn that $10 into $160 like I did, but you don't have the 100 raked hands to keep the $10.
So when I go to withdraw, they will let me take what I have won (after I make a deposit which is stupid), but the $10 stays in my account since I didn't clear the 100 raked hands requirement. It is still there for me to play with until I clear the raked hands.
My problem was that since I made the $160 off of the free $10 they gave me, I wasn't allowed to just take it out. I had to make a deposit first. Which is stupid, since I am just depositing the $20 then withdrawing it along with my $160. It's not like I am going to play with that deposit.
To look at your raked hands on RoyalVegas, go to Menu then click "Raked Hands" and enter the date you started on.
However if you are only playing with the $10, I doubt you have any raked hands. I was playing at the .25/.50 tables with about $130ish dollars, and I only have like 20 or so raked hands. The pots just aren't big enough at that level for them to take a .25 cent rake. My only raked hands were real big all in pots and such.
My guess is that with the $10 you are playing either tournaments (which don't count for raked hands) or at the microlimit (ie. .05/.10) where they take very little to no rake.
