Just a few things which strike me as odd from your first post:

If you were taking their terms literally wouldn't you deposit £57 or so if you wanted to play with $100? I can see how the terms could confuse anyone, but as far as I remember Playtech software and especially the cashier makes it very clear which currency you're using (before you deposit).

You then go on to make the same mistake at another casino, despite saying you'd looked at the terms carefully (and must have spotted the similarity)? That, and the strange contradictions of obvious knowledge and apparent naivity in your post, make me assume you're a bonus hunter, though that's fine and there's no need to be coy about it

In any case it's good that you've drawn people's attention to the shady behaviour of having a term at the top of the banking page eliciting play in different currencies & a sting in the tail right at the very bottom. Unfortunately I don't think you have much of a case for recovering the 5% as that term doesn't really appear to be part of the "Overnight Express" section.
