Bit of a late reply, but WHEN they credit the bonus does have a big impact on the value to the game play. Obviously this bonus gives any low house edge game a positive expectation. Now, if they credited it afterwards, you could make a killing by just playing say blackjack until bust. But crediting the bonus in "real time", so to speak, will mean not only that the risk of bust is extremely low as long as you bet a small portion of your balance per hand, but you'll also probably be winning and increasing your balance, allowing you to keep raising your bets, meaning you can get a huuuuge winning. Which seems to have happened.

I agree that confiscating the bonus while not refunding losses is rogue-ish
behavious, and even voiding all bets and leaving players with their original balance is less that honest, although kinda understandable if they lost as much as I imagine they did from this botched promotion.
