I deposited $300 to absolute poker a while ago, went on a $150 downswing playing NL .25/.50 so I took my remaining 150 and playing about 5K hands of NL .05c/.10c and worked it up to around 230. I was only playing at absolute b/c of rakeback but decided it really wasn't worth it at these levels so I took my 230 and cashed out everything except for about .80c
Anyways I check the status of the cashout and I notice that my account has an $80 balance. I talk to support, they tell me that my $230 cheque should arrive any day now, and that the money is a prize some a tournament. A tournament that I couldn't have possibly played. And there's no way I accumulated 80$ in rakeback playing NL20.
This is a confusing and delightful surprise, I thought I was cashing out down $70 but infact I'm up $10.
Can anything think of a reason this might have happened?

Sure it's not from a bonus or something?
It could also be one of those evil hackers that placed in a tournament after hacking your acc.

Prob not a bonus if its $80.
I got a $5 bonus deposited into my account about a month ago, and that was after 4-5 months of inactivity.

I make over $60 a month playing $10NL in rake back, so I don't see why it can't be rake back.
