they probably won't do this because it's just too logical, but see if they will just take $5 off the amount you cash out. i mean, how much more of an advantage does an extra fiver really give you? you weren't meaning to use a bonus, and you surely have met the requirements anyway. they shouldn't restrict your cashout because you deposited so much more on top, which is clearly not a smart move for someone trying to use the bonus.
if i were the casino i might argue that you got one-quarter of your starting stack as bonus, so you should get one-quarter of the total amount you win removed as a result.
i think the five bucks doesn't give you a discernable advantage, it's just one hand of cards or a few throws on slots. to me, it's just like the casino loaned you five bucks, and when you go to cashout you pay back the five bucks, maybe plus interest or service charge (another fiver for their trouble) or whatever.
inet are pretty smart, i suspect they will do something reasonably fair and won't take the hardest stance possible (too bad, max $50).
