There are situations where it is reasonable to seize winnings when restricted games are played. An advantage player can bet his entire balance on one hand of blackjack, or baccarat, or pai gow, then if he wins, grind out the remaining wagering requirement on a non-restricted game, and end up with a positive expectation.
What doesn't make sense is to restrict video poker, but have no restriction on pai gow, 3 card, etc. An advantage player would simply avoid the restricted game and utilize the non-restricted games. They are reacting to past patterns of advantage play, but in doing so, they aren't protecting themselves against future advantage play. But they have laid a nice trap for recreational players to fall into, and are generating a good deal of bad feelings.
