Some casinos tend to throw around that phrase 'bonus abuse' far too easily. It should mean exactly what you said DOHC, you open multiple accounts, or use other means to get bonuses you are not entitled to, like multiple first time deposit bonuses.
Unfortunately, alot of places consider bonus abuse to mean you've only deposited when you got a bonus and 'never risked your own money'. Which is somewhat b.s., since you are risking some of your money. They need to come up with better terminology, such as 'advantage player'. This would more accurately describe this behavior (of which I am definately guilty at some places!).
You can always refuse a bonus MrWorf, you just have to do so before you place a wager on any game after getting the bonus in your account. Once you place the wager, you're pretty much locked in to the 'contract', though there are some places that would still remove it even if you did play a couple of hands/spins.
And I think almost all casinos consider wagers made with bonus money in your account as starting with your money first. In other words, if you deposit $100 and get say a $50 bonus. You play and lose $50 so your balance is now $100, but you haven't met the wagering requirements and decide to withdraw, you can only get $50 back since half of the $100 is the bonus and the $50 you lost was your money. That's why the claim that you 'aren't risking your own money' when you have a bonus is so silly.
