Yes, it's understandable.
Just like it's understandable that I want to get my money back when I play BJ in a casino and click the wrong button on a hard 20 and bust. But the number of times a casino has said to me - "Hell - why not? Have your money back!" - is zero. I see the post referred to on page 1 at winneronline says a similar thing.
So why is it acceptable for a casino to claw money back and not for a player?
The only difference is that they are the ones with the keys to the house and can do whatever they want.
As has already been noted, the promotion behaved exactly as the terms suggested - a rebate for each amount lost, with no mention of time, or of taking all the bonuses issued back the next day.
