I agree, it is as much the sites fault for not checking before accepting the player. This confiscation scenario is getting a bit tiresome. It looks as though many are using it just to claim revenue.

The problem is that players still believe the casino story of it being "casual entertainment". They should treat their online gambling as they would treat a tax return. Keep permanent records of ALL accounts ever registered, and also keep records of any "bonus bans" that have been received. These records will serve their purpose whe some clueless idiot (or rogue affiliate) sends you an offer you are not eligible for. It is worth recording group associations, not just individual casino names, as often policy is group wide.
On top of this, an inspection of terms and conditions is a must, even when playing an offer sent to you by the casino itself. Many casino groups will tell you about the bonus at a sister site, but will not tell you that you are ineligible, perhaps by being a resident of an "evil country", or because you deposit with Neteller (Yes, that means YOU Reef Club / casino-on-net).
Casinos seem to think it OK to be an "advantage business", but that it is NOT OK to be an "advantage player".
The time will soon come when players will have to consult contract lawyers each time they sign up to a new casino, and perhaps take out insurance against being "ripped off", with the premiums being a damn good guide as to how reputable or rogue the INDUSTRY believes the casino to be.
