    Equally, I can judge them as dumb.

    No player is unprofitable, unless they take bonuses.

    Purple Lounge offer 100% to 75 credits Tues & Thurs, and 100% to 25 credits on Sunday. These are on the website, and are NOT by invitation email. Perhaps Purple Lounge just ban winners altogether if they ONLY deposit for these bonuses, whereas most other casinos will BONUS BAN players, but try to get them to carry on playing without bonuses.

    We as players have the right to know that this is their policy for dealing with winners, just as they have the right to get rid of players who they think will never lose.

    If bonuses are NOT involved, then it looks like a case of the CASINO falling for the "gambler's fallacy" - the one that explains bad losing streaks as being proof of cheating by the casino, rather than merely the result of unusually bad luck.

    Where we repeatedly see casinos falling for this "gambler's fallacy", how can casinos expect us players to accept the "bad luck" explanation when it is OUR turn for that long losing streak.

    If the games really ARE "rigged" in some way, then it would be conceivable that a player might find a "system", and thus consistently beat the casino. This is why casinos get rid of card counters, and those who seem unusually "lucky" on the roulette wheel (wheel not balanced properly) because they have found an exploit, and are taking advantage.

    The regular 100% Purple Lounge offers could be beaten by advantage players who were disciplined enough, and it seems they know this, since the WR has gone up to 50x bonus, and it looks pretty much "slots only".
