Anyone farmiliar with rakeback calculations?

I know how rake is normally calculated, but what if you get a deposit bonus during the month?

Say you get a $100 bonus, does that come off your total rake paid or your rakeback payment?

Example, according to the tracking page I have paid $400 in rake at Full Tilt Poker and since I get 25% back obviously I get $100 in rakeback. If I deposit $200 today for the 50% bonus is ist doing me any good?

Will it wipe out the $100 I am owed or does it reduce the rake paid to $300 and thus make my rakeback payment $75.

If it's the latter then it makes sense to deposit since I play there a lot, if it's just a break even scenario then why bother?

Anyone know for sure how this works?

Thanks

It comes off the top. So, if you get 25% RB, you will only lose 25% of it.

Thanks, was hoping it worked out that way. May as well deposit then, even though it takes a life time to clear a bonus there, still worth it.
