If the player complies with the terms and conditions for receiving a bonus as well as the rules for cashing out a bonus i don’t see how this can possibly be referred to as “fraud”. Bonus hunting has absolutly nothing to do with fraud.
With regards to the casino’s problems above, I can’t understand that they allow this kind of bonus hunting to go on. How hard can it be to write in the terms and conditions for the singn-up bonus that no amount -deposit as well as bonus money can not be cash out untill the minimum wagering requirements have been fulfilled by the player? Write that in the terms for the bonus and the problem is solved, NO ?.
Bonus hunting is and will always be a part of online gambling – from a casino perspective I would deal with that instead of whining about it. It’s not going to go away.
Casinos want’s the players money – the players want the casinos money. That’s the nature of the business. It’s not a donation from the player to the casino.
Obviously an affiliate catering to bonus hunters as in the example above won’t see much value of their work from a revenue share point of view. If such an affiliate should receive any CPA payment should be easy to determain by reading the terms and conditions for the CPA agreement, NO?
I don’t see any problems that can not be solved by writing down what is expected from the player for them to be able to get a bonus and cash it out. Similar write down what is expected from an affiliate to get paid on CPA basis.
Don’t go for the easy “we will decide later if we will pay you” terms and conditions. If you can’t figure out how to write terms and conditions for bonuses and CPA deal – hire an expirianced bonus hunter to help you out and/or hire a CPA affiliate who caters to bonus hunters to help you out.
I am in no way saying that this is a great situation. I try to promote other things then just the bonuses – there is much more to a casino then a bonus.
No point in complaining about bonus hunting -it’s a fact of life, it’s just like there is no point in me complaining about paying tax – I cant’ change that eighter.
