I am intimidated to ask casino questions about unclear bonus terms, or just anything about bonuses in general.
Just about every casino, including the accredited ones, have something in their TOC that sounds something like "if you're an AP Bonus hunter, we have the right to confiscate your winnings and deposit at our desecration."
I'm AP. I don't chose to be a bonus hunter, I do that because that's the only option. If casinos make other AP methods viable, such as offering full pay video poker with 100%+ returns, then I have no problem switching my AP method. I don't "abuse" bonuses via any type of fraud, such as multiple-accounting. But then again the term "abuse" is not set in stone and interpretation rights ALWAYS goes to the casino due to TOC. I simply grind out blackjack, knowing that I can on average walk away with some of the bonus money if the rollover is low. I'm sure many casinos wouldn't hesitate to call this "abuse", "exploiting our good faith of bonus" or whatever...
That aside, I feel like asking a casino about bonus is a huge red flag. As far as I could tell, if I were in the casino's shoes, the only people that would ask me questions about bonus terms (Very specific questions!) are either bonus hunters or player advocates like casinomeister. I'm obviously no player advocate. So if I ask them, they will know I'm a bonus hunter and take my money.
Yet, casinomeister encourages a player to ask about bonus terms and sometimes get it in writing in the more dodgy cases (forgot where I read this, sorry). I surly do understand why he would suggest that.
But I'm still intimidated to ask. I feel like asking an online casino about their bonus terms in details (especially when they most likely purposely make their terms vague to deter bonus hunters) will get me flagged as bonus hunter and have my deposit confiscated. I feel like asking them is like staring at the pit boss in a live blackjack table. There's a saying that a card counter should never stare at the pit boss, because that's a huge red flag he's card counting, because seriously who else stares at the pit boss? who else asks about bonuses?
