First...you're imagining a LOT of this stuff to find a reason for why you aren't winning.
The fact is, you just aren't a very good poker player (which you also acknowledged...but it really is just as simple as that).

you need to get out of 'conspiracy' mode.

They offer you free money to come and gamble. This means, they must expect you to lose an amount at least equal to the deposit bonus.

For the most part...the amount that you play to earn this bonus is worth more to the site in rake then the actual bonus itself.
It isn't a huge profit for them...probably close to break-even much of the time.
But it's not like they are just GIVING away $100 (usually).

1,000 raked-hands to clear the bonus is plenty for them to make a little bit of profit on it.


Example - if you play 10 handed at a table that has an average rake of $1.50 per raked-hand then you are essentially contributing $0.15 per raked-hand.
Yet you are only clearing $0.10 of your bonus per raked-hand (if it's 1000 raked-hands to earn $100 for example).

there are better bonuses out there than $100 for 1k hands of course...just showing that the sites are not 'giving' away as much as it might, at first, appear.
They do quite well for themselves...and obviously they are still worthwhile for the player too a lot of the time.
