Default Empire is not Closing Accounts because of the Bonus

I find this very humorous. The majority concensus is that all of these account closings are due to bonus chasing. That's some paranoia. Why would they close accounts because you go after some silly $100 bonus? They are offering the bonus to get an influx of players back to the site, and to reward the regular players. The bonus is not free; you have to work for it. so if it's 1000 hands for $100 then they're paying you .10¢ a hand to shill their site. Not all players go after the bonus. I'd be willing to bet a large percentage of players don't even have the requisite buy-in to chase a bonus. This bonus whoring reason just seems so silly to me. No one can convince me that Empire cares about this.

These sites make money when they give away a bonus a far as I'm concerned. It makes no sense to close accounts for that reason.

It does make sense to close accouts of those who are playing on multiple skins or from the same IP address. This seems to be the trend. Consolidation.

So bonus hunters relax these are not shady online casinos but very solvent poker operations, and they don't give one whit about you silly little bonus whores.

Something else is going on.
