    Once a requester mentioned this in his HIT; why they want to pay in bonuses.

    CT can confirm if he gives a duck about it.

    Paying via bonus avoids the masters fee but I don't think that it avoids any of the other fees.

    I saw that. 20 games is pretty fair if you ask me given Wilson's record.

    So maybe that requester was confused then. I just assumed it was true until I went to post that reply then thought...hm...maybe it's not true or more requesters would do this. Hence my total disclaimer.
