I believe that these type of promotions attract nitty OMC grinder types.
I don't mind the idea of comps/hour because that seems like a fair way to distribute rakeback, but these frequent player promotions seem to cross the line IMO. At one of the cardrooms I frequent they have a similar tournament promotion where they rake $5 from every buy-in to go to the "player of the month". The occasional player has no chance of winning this promotion. Even if they play one tournament a month and win, they can't crack the top 100.
My point is that frequent players are being rewarded on the backs of people who literally cannot win since they don't play often enough.
