Default How tough to clear?

I'm not much of a bonus whore, but this one looks mighty tough to clear. Right? You have to earn 200 Action Points per dollar to clear (more on that below) and they don't release the bonus in increments, you have to clear it all to get any of it (although it never expires). They never say what the ratio of Action Points to Dollars in the pot equals, but you only get a proportional amount of the Action Points in any given pot based on your contribution to the pot (does folding PF = 0 Action Points?).

From their website...

How Action Points are awarded
A pool of Action Points is generated per hand. Each time a bet is made, the Action Points pool increases.
So, the larger the pot, the more Action Points there will be *.
The available points per pot will be distributed to all players who are dealt a hand in the pot on a pro-rated (percentage) basis.
The more you bet, the larger your share of the hand's available Action Points will be -- and it doesn't matter whether you win or lose the pot!
Currently, Action Points awarded for tournament fees are credited towards the Action Points usable for freeroll entries and prizes.
* For every real money hand that is dealt a maximum of 300 Action Points will be awarded.


So, assuming (and it's a big assumption) that 1 Action Point per dollar in the pot is awarded and you deposit the max. $500 ($550 bonus) then you will have had to wager $110,000 to clear the bonus!

Anyone know what the ratio of Action Points to Dollars in the pot really is?

Any of you bonus whores care to comment on how easy/hard this is to clear?
