Sorry Phil, I missed this part of your question.
By calling it a 'swindle' it sounds like you think players are being somehow cheated if they can't meet the
WR with some sort of profit. (ie. with some of the bonus money intact). This seems to be a common view among some posters here, but I think it is quite wrong.
Excuse me stating the bleeding obvious, but I think it needs to be said here.
Casino's are not charities, they are in business to make money. They offer bonuses to attract players in the hope of profiting from them. They want people to fail to meet
WR with profit, and then go on to lose their entire deposit in an attempt to win it back. The best casino's set their
WR at the level they think will be attractive to players whilst still giving the house the overall edge. They will accept that some players will profit from their bonuses, because they know many more will fail. What spoils this industry are the rogue casino's who don't like ANY player profiting from bonus - just look around this section at all the complaints about
RTG's and Playtechs: where players have met all the T&C's but STILL get screwed.
So back to the question. No I don't think high
WR's represent a 'swindle'. I accept bonuses for what they are: an incentive to play and a head start in my attempt to make a profit. As in my first reply - if I don't like the terms, I simply wont play at that casino.
