How about this?

Player A walks into a B&M casino, he has never played before. Signs up for a player's card and puts through $40, 000 playing video poker.

Player B walks into the same casino puts through the same $40,000, playing the same video poker, just as he has every month for the last 4 years. Over that 4 years he has shown a consistent loss doing so.

When the mailers go out next month or the month after that, will both players receive the exact same amount of free play, and other offers? Or will the guy with a 4 year history of playing and losing receive better?

Now move the scenario to off shore sports books. Why would you think some player who has shown and booked a loss for years, not receive and be able to negotiate a better bonus that the standard that books offers as part of their general promotion?

Seriously, you KNOW how both B&M and offshore work and do business. I had a track record for years at several sportsbooks as a losing player. Not betting huge amounts or anything, but a consistent recreational losing bettor. They had no reason to believe I would do anything other than lose, with the better offers they extended me. They had no reason to believe, I would pick that moment in time to start bonus whoring them?

And that is all that occurred. I was able to use several years history as a losing recreational bettor, to secure better bonuses and terms (rollover) than I otherwise could have at a couple sportsbooks, for the first couple cycles. I don't know why you of all people, who understand or should understand how bonuses work, are having such a problem with it.
What I understand is you originally said you were a small-time recreational sports bettor, and you had only been playing online for a short period of time. You never risked, lost/won that much. I believe you said you were a small loser as it was one of your entertainment minus EV things you did.

Please go back and read what you wrote and let's confirm that one way or another before we can move on.
