To hypothesise that players will now be blocked over simply winning is not very smart – players who win are often a casinos bread and butter as they tell others, post on player forums and 99% of the time put their winnings PLUS more back in. After nearly a decade in the online gaming arena this is something BR is very clear on.
The point was not that you will deny players who win big, just that you could. You could even deny all players. That’s why it’s potentially fraudulant. The term is unfair as it’s not made clear so you can’t enforce it. You are giving a bonus when the player can’t win with it. There is no way to tell from his play if he is just after the bonus, only from whether he has non-bonus play. You can’t make players play without a bonus. You have to accept some won’t. If you actually give the bonus to him and he follows the promotional terms, you have to pay him. It’s not rocket science.
How many more traps are you going to lay on players in your misguided attempts to get back at certain players (the currency thing with some Microgaming sites is another one- the software could very simply automatically set the currency players should play in from their address)? Your business should not be that short sighted. It is a stupid thing to do that makes no sense. I’ve only seen it from desperate casinos just before they go out of business or those that were never reputable. In the past there weren’t as many bonus players, but there are always going to be players who will only play with a good offer and won’t play without one. Casinos already knew this and these players cost the casino almost the same amount as the average player for the promotion.
Unless you are trying to save your business, why lose your reputation over it? Also I’m not sure what the Gibraltar licensing authority would do, but I think they can at least fine you for behaviour like this.
