I am copying a reply I made at Casinomeister:

But it has nothing to do with using bonuses to increase your bankroll. IMO that’s what they are there for.
(BYW I don’t want to use the word “bonus abuse” ever, it has a different meaning for everyone and is really almost a joke. )
I used to be a “bonus hunter” myself, and actually my site grew on that soil. Back then it was simple, there were no or low wagering requirements and in BJ you always had an edge if you got a good bonus and played proper basic strategy.
So I am not talking about that at all. If you offer a bonus, it’s a given people will try to make the best of it. That’s the whole attraction. ( Note that today I would not even touch them myself, too annoying trying to meet the requirements anymore, too many possible winning cashouts missed. But that’s my personal preference, they just impair my player experience anymore.)
Fraud is defined legally like this:
1. intentional perversion of truth in order to induce another to part with something of value or to surrender a legal right
2. an act of deceiving or misrepresenting
3. a person who is not what he or she pretends to be
Fraud is criminal. It means lying about who you are or scamming people out of money by pretending something is a fact when you know it’s not.
It has nothing to do with bonuses really, they are coincidental.
If a casino would post here exactly how each instance of fraud was committed, you would have all sorts of people running off to try it on some other casino, so understandably they can’t do that. It’s like handing out an instruction manual on how to commit fraud.
Stupid, for me player satisfaction always comes first. That’s how I built a website with a 85% return rate. Satisfied players, fair treatment of players.
Fraud groups hurt other players. They need to be outed!
