The thing is, this isn't really "cracking down" on anything. I could understand when Empire decided to start banning people who only played there during bonuses. I don't expect Empire to sit there and lose money on the same people month after month; they're a business after all. And I can also understand not wanting people churn money on the day the bonus goes live, so requiring no withdrawal during the bouns period (or a few days before, assuming its been anounced) seems reasonable.

But this 15 day thing was never anounced, serves no obvious purpose, and really sticks it to Empire's regular customers. It's a gratuitous poke in the eye.

As a private business, Empire can and should be able to handle its bonuses however they want. At the same time, I'd prefer not to play at a site that practically goes out of its way to make life difficult for its customers. They're free to do what they want, and I'm free to play elsewhere, and that's the choice I'm making.
