Who could possibly vote that this is good business policy? The far better solution is to restrict reload bonuses to regular players.

Re-load bonuses are not to reward long term players as much as attract fresh blood, so offering one only to those that play alot, would be a waste, from a business POV, unless it was perceived by the business as a form of customer retention. The biggest target for re-load bonuses is those customers that have stopped playing a site, to attract them back. That is why I think a hands per $ requirement should be based on your MGR for a time period, like the last 6 months. Then if all you do is play re-load bonuses, the next bonus would require you to play more hands, and the next one more after that, but if you were just some player who opened an account last summer and forgot about, the re-load would not be that hard to clear, and therefor attractive anough to get you back and hopefully enjoying the site enough to stay. This also has the effect of rewarding long terms players for retention by offering them the same bonuses with easy clearning requirements since they are +MGR over the time period.
