They've got 3 bonuses each that you can take advantage of.
If you want to go for the max bonus, they have a 20% up to $100 initial deposit code (Edit ). So you have to deposit $500 to get the $100. You have to play five times the amount of the bonus in raked hands, so 500 hands.
After you complete that bonus, you can get another deposit bonus 20% up to $100 by depositing with IGM pay. Use the code IGMPAY for both sites. Same as before: 5x the amount of the bonus in raked hands.
Also, if you have someone refer you, you can get $25 in bonuses for signing up and the person referring you gets $50 (hint hint ). I think this is also 5x the bonus in raked hands.
They put the bonus money in a "bonus account" until you clear the bonus, after which they put the money into your party poker balance, available for withdrawal.
I hope I got everything?

depends on the percentage of the bonus...
check the website of what percentage they will do up to a certain amount.
for instance some will do 25% initial bonus up to $250 and must play 250 raked hands...

he's just asking about Party and Empire right now and I gave him the percentages. 
But yeah. That's exactly how it works. Now, don't forget to say that I recommended you to play on the site now, ya hear?
And yes, it works exactly like you said. if you only want a $50 bonus or only have a $250 bankroll to work with, then depositing $250 to get your $50 bonus would require you to play $250 hands AFTER you deposit with the code.
Always check to make sure that the money is in your bonus accounta fter depositing. If it's not, call PP and tell them to put it on, because they won't credit hands that you already played in your requried hand calculations later. I found this out the hard way...

Oh yeah; and the sounds too easy part? Well, the trick is to not lose your deposit while clearing the bonus. But all joking aside, it only counts RAKED hands, which means that the pot woul dhave to go over $3 to be raked.
You can manage this at teh $100 NL (where nearly all your hands are raked) or the $50 NL (where about 2/3 to 3/4 of your hands get raked), but once you hit that magical 500 raked hands, that bonus is YOURS! Happy hunting.

No ensign quit that crap . That only works for casinos your not allowed to do that with poker sites. Whos bonus codes were those for the 100 free on 500 deposit?
Dude just click the ftr links party poker - empire poker - just click on the words and download it and deposit 500 and youll get the 100 free I promise. And if you only deposit 250 then youll get 50. Its 20% bonus.

So if you click the affiliate link through FTR, you don't even have to supply a bonus code when you deposit? How does THAT work?

Correct just click on the link it is already connected back to FTR. Whatever 2 codes you had get tracked to an affiliate somewhere or another and they will get money for the sign up when you are doing their marketing for them. I just try to keep it going to ftr since they provide us with this nice place to discuss everything.
