So when I read this thread I contacted CR wanting an explanation. Basically what i got was that (for instance) one of the posters had opened multiple accounts and that despite that fact; the reason they had told the player if he/she was to deposit and show an intention to be more than a bonus bunny then DESPITE the fact there had been multiple accounts opened;.... they'd still give the person the bonus. I thought that was very decent of them personally though I'm sure that statement will get quoted and then get instances thrown back at me which all involve bonus issues.
Is a bait-and-switch decent?
I deposited at one of their casinos and claimed the sign-up bonus.
There was another bonus listed ("Get another $20 totally FREE just for making a deposit using NETeller or Click2Pay."), so I clicked it and tried to claim it before playing.
Instead of the bonus I got this:
"We regret to inform you that your use of promotional chips has been temporarily suspended. Unfortunately, due to promotional abuse in the past..... To exchange your points for casino chips simply deposit and play at any of your Casino Rewards partner casinos. Your points should be available to you soon!"
I did not abuse the bonus, I had not even started playing yet and I only had one CR account.
Anyways, that screen seemed to be specifically instructing me to open more accounts at other CR casinos.
To make a long story short, no matter how much I deposited at other CR partner casinos I could never cash in my CR points for cash.
(and by the way, have you seen their newletter? they list all their casinos with the sign-up bonuses and direct links encouraging people to sign up them all)

I tend to cater to players who are not terribly interested or concerned about bonus matters, and in fact I usually advise my players to not accept bonus offers unless they are playing the slots and fully understand what they're getting involved with.
Why should only slot players accept bonuses?
On your site, the first thing you say about most of the casinos is the sign-up bonus (e.g. "$25 no deposit and another match bonus up to $150 on first deposit")
With affiliates recommending Casino Rewards (despite all the player complaints), how was I supposed to know what I was getting myself into with this outfit?

So perhaps CR may not be the bonus chaser's heaven but for players of more substantial interests ... I think they will find CR quite agreeable.
If your players are going to play a lot (more than the wagering requirement), then why shouldn't they accept the extra cash bonus?
Everyone who accepts a sign-up-bonus is not a bonus abuser. I accept monthly bonuses from
32red, Intercasino, 49er, etc. I have made multiple deposits at those casinos this month after clearing the bonus requirements and will be offered those bonuses in the future despite winning and cashing out respectable sums at all three.
