Bonus abuse is vague, and INTENTIONALLY so. This gives casinos room to use the "in the spirit" argument without having to admit to using it. There are obvious forms of abuse though, such as playing both black and red on Roulette in order to grind out a small profit. This is looked at as whether the player would play like this WITHOUT a bonus, and in this case, obviously not.
The other common one is to use the entire balance for one massive starting bet, and then grinding out
WR after a win.
Unfortunately, casinos have expanded the definition somewhat, and it almost looks that it is merely enough to get lucky, and then be SENSIBLE and withdraw after meeting
WR, rather than play it all back, to be branded a bonus abuser.
The only way to make money from online casinos now is to look for isolated "stupidity" on the part of operators, and then play such badly designed promotions WELL WITHIN the rules, giving them no chance to think up an excuse for not paying that will not also be a
PR disaster for them. Needless to say, such incidents are rare, since operators usually learn from such mistakes.
In terms of safety, slots are the best games to play. Casinos have a tough time with "bonus abuse" claims for SLOTS play, and the few that have tried have been the laughing stock of the forum, and in many cases turn out to be rogue, or trying to cover up one of their OWN mistakes, such as a badly designed promotion.
With slots, you are looking for that elusive big hit, followed by a disciplined approach to meeting
WR and withdrawing. Many deposits will be lost, but a few will result in big wins. You have to know your slots though, and choose bet sizes apopropriate to the balance, and do not bet TOO much per spin, as this would look suspicious, since slot players like to get a few spins for their money.
Beware max cashout rules though, these tend to hit slots players the hardest, and are favoured by
RTG and Rival (that I know of).
With MGS, the AWP slot games are rather interesting
