Their site states (pre-correction).
This means you get the bonus, even if you are using the "Simmo method".
You then have the trouble of asking CS to remove it to avoid 80x WR, or using it in the hope of striking lucky.
Rome casino clearly intended to deter "bonus hunters", although they may have overdone it with 80x on slots. It would have been better to have designed the software to take care of all the bonus playing strategies that have developed over the years, and had a more modest WR for the games.
Other software suppliers have done this, and no-one is better placed than a NEW software brand, with no legacy code to worry about.
One method would be to ensure the software recognises a bonus in the account, and modifying the lobby to ensure that banned games are disabled, or have them set with maximum bets low enough to prevent the strategy of betting high with the entire balance as a starting bet. They should also have a pop-up window for when players deposit and qualify for an automatic bonus. This should display the terms for the bonus, and two buttons, ACCEPT and DECLINE. Players using the "Simmo method" would have the "decline" button rather than having to ask CS to remove the bonus.
Loyal players should have more generous terms for any bonuses, as they will have demonstrated that they are there to play, and not just hunt the initial bonus. Advancement up the loyalty ladder should be clear to the player, based on something like comp points, with the levels set such that players could not simply "grind" their way to the top levels and bonuses by using the bonuses from lower levels in a process that is +EV
