What Counts As Casino Abuse?
Registering With Multiple Accounts
Most casino bonuses are limited to one player, though some might even be restricted to one person per household. Regardless of this condition, bonus hunters tend to skirt around this rule and create multiple accounts under different email addresses and try to claim the offered bonuses several times over. This fraudulent act is an instant breach of the casino’s terms and conditions. Since casinos track the IP addresses of their patrons, they can easily detect and flag multiple users from a single IP. However, providing a valid explanation can help players avoid potential bans or account restrictions.
Volatility Arbitrage
Compared to other casino abuses, operators have a hard time catching on to these deceitful activities. Some players tend to claim a welcome match-up bonus when they sign up to a casino and use it to place bets on games with low volatility until they are able to churn their money. Afterward, they hit up the high volatility games using the extra money and if they manage to win, they win big. Although it's quite hard to detect who the person is, a casino equipped with certain computer software can easily track this fraud.
Placing Large Bets With The Bonus Money
Casinos offer numerous bonuses to their customers. Therefore players can try out different games for free and see which one appeals to them the most. However, some people neglect the funds they are rewarded with and use them up quickly by simply making a huge bet on just one game. These people are under the illusion that big bets equate to big bucks, which is completely false and against the terms and conditions of a bonus.
This type of bonus abuse is regarded as an insult to the casino’s good faith and can lead to the operator flagging them as bonus abusers and taking strict action against them. This is why it is important to pay close attention to the set maximum bet limit, before placing a wager.
Trying To Claim The Same Bonus Twice
The majority of the bonuses, if not all, can only be claimed once per person. Nonetheless, some players attempt to claim a bonus multiple times. Typically, a casino server would detect that a customer has already claimed the bonus and prevent them from claiming it twice by blocking them. However, in some cases, they can slip through the cracks and trigger the bonus repeatedly. It's just a matter of time before the casino eventually realizes its mistake and seizes the abuser’s bonus money along with the prizes won with it.
