But when HP had royal flush bonuses the rules were that there had to have been a rake from at least one of the last five hands and that the RF had to involve at least one hole card (so that they wouldn’t have to pay everyone at the table if a RF hit the board). A dispute over a RF bonus was actually half of what led me to stop playing on PokerRoom. Not one of mine, of course, but they tried to screw a guy out of half of his bonus, going so far as to change the wording of the RF bonus page after the fact and pointing to it as justification. I figured if they were willing to treat someone who routinely played $100/$100 NL then they weren’t going to be concerned about screwing over a low-level player like me.

I do not play online anymore, collusion is to rampant. But I am sure rules vary from website to website. I was not doubting you, and I apologize if it seemed as if I was.  
If you visit the newsgroup poker players have, you will find many poker sites have been nailed for doing the same thing (changing the rules, as well as accusing apparently honest players of collusion to justify not giving them big tourney money/bonus wins)

Even so, does the cap have anything funny printed on it?

Nope, it’s just the logo on the front and the URL on the back.
