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.
They advertised the promotion for four weeks.

They ran it for one week, got some new players and deposits as a result, were quite happy, paid everybody. No problems

The second week they decided to give it another go, lose more money, decide they actually they don't want to pay people this time and steal it all.

There are no grounds for this it all. There was no difference between the weekends except that weekend 2 they did a runner afterwards with the players' cash.
