my 2 cents: I don’t think there is a ‘canned’ definition for “bonus abuse” but rather several different ways of describing it
Great in depth discussion on ‘normal play’.
But is it really abuse? The name of the activity is ‘gambling’. If I open one account and follow the casino T&C’s and hit a winning streak I could be wagering randomly or in a steady focused manner as you describe. If I ‘hang around’ just long enough to make the winnings cashable I am still up against the house edge and actually gambling.
Being short sighted, I think I have ‘beaten’ the casino and want to do it again elsewhere. The next time I may not be so lucky. The odds will catch up to me eventually and I will end up with a net loss. Unless there is something I do not know – that’s what the game is all about, isn’t it.
Aren’t the wagering requirements just a way for the game odds to ‘take back’ any short term wins.
