You should also read the updated standards for being fully accredited. Your vague term no 15 needs to be replaced by something more specific. In particular, you need to explicitly define what is meant by "bet" in these multi-hand games. Without this definition, it is going to be considered to be 1 bet per SEAT at the table, and there are FIVE seats. In terms of bet per SEAT, this player's admission that he was playing at up to 40 credits does NOT break term 15, and certainly NOTHING in this breaks term 12.
What is needed is a definition of max bet that a player can calculate explicitly, such as "xx% of initial bonus balance". Alongside this, you need to specify that in multi-hand games, the bet applies to the ENTIRE field of play, not the bet per seat, line, position, etc. In table games, you can simply state "per dealer hand".
There is no doubt now, after a few similar cases, that we have a new method of "advantage play", but it is the AFFILIATES that are driving this, not all of them by any means, but that significant group that uses bonus beating strategies as their "value added service" for players coming through their links. I have checked a few such sites, and they REALLY DO post these methods, often it is the site owner themselves who posts the info, such as "LaVida is offering xxxxxx bonus - here are the terms "xxxxxxxx", and here is how you get around them for a +EV of $xxx "xxxxxxxxxxxx".
Later, these sites fill with complaints from their members that a casino has rumbled the method, and changed the rules, or refused to pay. It is then made out to be the casinos fault entirely, and the affiliate then just offers up another "victim" to the slaughter.
The problem is, these are AFFILIATES, and they are PAID BY THE CASINO. The PLAYERS get their winnings confiscated because of false marketing by the affiliate, but the affiliate KEEPS his money, and is given the green light to carry on fleecing ever more players, because the players that get in early DO generally have an advantage, but those that get in after the casino has figured out what is going on get burned, and blame the CASINO, for not honouring the deal.
Affiliate sites are SUPPOSED to be vetted, BY WHOM
Which incompetents fail to weed out such affiliates, and put pressure on them NOT to mislead players into playing strategies that are going to violate the terms. The simplest way to ensure compliance is to close affiliate accounts of those affiliates who persist in misleading players into breaching casino terms and conditions. It is often the less experienced players that stumble upon one of these sites, and lured by the prospect of "guaranteed" profits if they follow the instructions, will become loyal members.
I am NOT against affiliates giving out strategies, but these MUST be within the casino's rules, such that players WILL get paid if they win following the strategy posted by the affiliate. Most players don't really understand the deal between affiliate & casino, and assume it is just an advert, constructed by the CASINO, and therefore assume any information contained is ENDORSED by the casino, so expect no problems.
This WILL happen again, and it would be worth while checking where this player came from, and then having a good look at the website to see whether it is actively encouraging players to play this multi-hand BJ strategy.
