32red only have it for their sign up bonus, which is relatively small. Virtually no other casinos out there have this restriction (the ones that restrict bet size have a percentage rectriction). The only other reason for having this rule is even worse than being underfunded: it's a "gotcha" term that is there to create traps for players and win-win situations for casinos. Offer a very large bonus to attract high rolling players, and take their money if the didn't read the rules carefully enough and bet too high. There's nothing inherently nefarious or about betting more than $6.50, lots of players do that, especially ones that deposit 4 figures.
It's a bad rule, and reflects poorly on the casino. That's my opinion, you're entitled to yours.
What were you smoking on 8 October 2011?

I admit I had forgotten some of that stuff from last year and it appears you are right, and I am wrong. It's interesting to note that the disgraceful treatment dogboy was subjected to by Vinylweatherman and others is one of the main reasons he stopped participating. As soon as someone with expertise comes onto the forum, they are often driven away by some members starting a pissing match to prove they're the cleverest.....instead of actually engaging them in proper debate without boasting about how much of a hero they are for finding some loophole or some pedantic error in what is actually very useful information. (Sorry....back to the topic now.....just re-reading that old thread annoyed me because a fantastic resource was chased away by the usual suspects)
The reason you and I have different views on the max bet rule is because I don't go from casino to casino exploiting any and every +EV bonus I can find without ever intending to be a regular customer. Hence, the max bet bonus rule doesn't affect me.
Bonuses aren't offered to provide an income for advantage players. The max bet rule has nothing to do with liquidity.....its about deterring these kinds of players, whilst making it attractive to those regular players who like taking bonuses to extend their play. It's actually pretty funny that you think it is because they can't afford to pay. Sounds like sour grapes because their bonuses are harder to exploit.
All the max bet rules I've seen are clearly stated in the terms. The only players who get caught by "gotcha" terms (which don't exist btw if they are stated) are those who don't READ the terms before playing.....and that is their tough cookies. If its good enough for me, its good enough for them and they should be held to the same rules.
The only "gotcha" term is one they add afterwards or make up out of thin air....and there's a name for those casinos....ROGUE.
