Whats the difference in CON banning you for playing only for bonuses? Whats the difference from all the casinos that dont allow you to whore all that are in their group? Empire made a business decision to ban players because of bonus abuse just like anyone else would in the online gambling industry. If you account is closed cry me a river.

One cannot in any way compare poker sites and casino sites in this regard. Casino sites MUST do what they can to stop intelligent players, because they know that if they don't fucc their customers, they will get fucced by their customers. And it is hard to invent bonuses that look good to their idiot customers while not being a good deal to an intelligent customer. So they have to look for intelligent customers and ban them, at least from getting bonuses.

The problem is that some poker sites are run by people from the casino world, who thinks that a poker site is just another kind of casino site. Hence they think of their (desireable) customers as idiots, and, obviously, even that bonuses is by nature a fucc-or-get-fucced proposition. Also, I believe the get-a-percentage-of-all-profit-forever affiliate deals also comes from these people who think a poker site is a kind of casino site, as these kinds of deals makes perfect sense in the casino world, but not at all sense (in my opinion) in the poker world.
