Hi Kwblue,
I understand your frustration. However, please keep in mind it is standard for online casinos to offer bonuses. I can’t imagine one that can stay in competition without offering a bonus.
About everyone playing and winning on blackjack being qualified as a bonus abuser this is not true. The player admitted using a blackjack strategy. He is a young man that just joined the casino, used a bonus that played with close to perfect strategy gives him a considerable edge over the casino, won big and withdrew. With this alone most profiling will start qualifying him as an advanced player.
However, I never called him an advanced player and much less a bonus whore, nor would I. I was merely explaining to him that there are people who take online gambling as something more then recreational, and those people are not treated well (he seemed to be unaware of this). Just like a card counter won’t be treated well in Vegas. Winning alone doesn’t qualify you as an advanced player, but the way you win, is what will give you that qualification.
I go to the local casinos on a semi-regular basis. I generally use a bonus and play with some strategy, but not a mathematically calculated one. When I go to the casino I go for fun, I hope to win money, but I play to have fun. I don’t go calculating everything to get an edge (card counting, perfect strategy). Because I know that is not the spirit of the game and if I abuse it, I will be thrown out, like I should be, both here, in Vegas and in any other casino around the globe.
With all this said, I am not discussing whether he is or isn’t an advanced player. He has been lumped into this category of advanced players by the casino. Right or wrong, I am trying to help him. But don’t dismiss the fact that online casinos are constantly battling against Bonus Abuse and rules like this one are an example of the controls in place to restrict this activity.

then why do all casino gift shops sell blackjack strategy cards , telling you when to hit and when to stand , and people use them at the table . Are all these people playing optimal strategy and should be thrown out.
As for gambling to have fun , i have never met a gambler who doesnt play to win , it is bullshit that someone plays to have fun , show me one person besides yourself that only plays for fun and does not care if they lose . Remember gamblig is only fun if you win .
Then another thing you only gave him a $100 bonus , he won 10K , i can understand if you gave him a 10k bonus and he grinded it out by opposit betting on roulette ,
Some one turning 200 into 10k had an incredible run of cards , this is ot bonus abuse ,
