You are obviously intelligent enough to realise that you have no legal recourse against them. There is no contract and I bet in the TOS small print they reserve the right to amend/withdraw the promo at any time.

So what you are complaining about is a moral issue. They made a mistake, you took advantage of that for one day (was it the only day you've played at their site btw?) and then they close the loophole for weeks 2-4.

What would make them 'scum' is if they had let you play then retrospectively failed to honor the bonus. They just corrected a mistake and gave at least 6 days advance warning of the change - it is far from clear that the bonus whore's position here is in any way morally superior to the site's.

Most adults just commented 'well it was too good to last, I bet the bonus whores hit em real hard'. You on the other hand getinto your 'waaambulance' and vastly overstate the issue.

What about the site a couple of weeks ago who cancelled a guaranteed payment rebuy MTT coz their rebuy software got stuck after 30 minutes and it became a de facto freezeout (they just returned the entry fee rather than sharing the guaranteed payout between those left) - now there you have a much stronger case from an ethical viewpoint.

And if you're as good as you claim, then what on earth are you worrying about such tiny bonuses for anyway?
