Of course it doesn't. If he broke a specific rule, they can confiscate his winnings. The fact is they choose to offer a 300% sticky bonus, which is likely to attract advantage players, and if they don't want those players to play they need to specify what it is that they are and are not allowed to do, rather than simply confiscating their money when they win and keeping it when they lose.

The tactic described by the OP fits the description of "advantage play", but a 12/1 shot is nowhere near as certain as the usual evens double-up bet using the entire bankroll. It does seem that any strategy that succeeds is SUBSEQUENTLY, and "at our discresion" retrospectively deemed "abusive play", and winnings confiscated. The subsequent "grind" was the giveaway though, as a genuine "big hitter" would continue to place chunky sized bets, and perhaps try to "ride" the luck a bit.

However, this tactic is still sufficiently coverable by a specific set of terms and conditions
Exactly, why make excuses for them?

Unfortunately, threats of DDos attacks from the OP have seriously undermined his credibility, and chances of receiving a resolution, HOWEVER, the Meister has not banned him based on this, even though he has admitted he did indeed make such threats.
They were criminally stupid, but it doesn't affect the casinos rogue response to his play. We are here to root out crooked casinos, not players who overreact when they get ripped off by crooked casinos.
