Betonline and bonuses

I was ready to sign up with them until I read something that concerned me.
It states this....
Betonline reserves the right to cancel bonuses and or funds won with said bonuses if management determines a player to be non-recreational or part of a syndicate Bonuses are intended for recreationa players only. WTF? It almost sounds like they are teling you you better not win any money....or not any serious money. I mean the only people who ever win money are non-recreational players. This is almost like kicking someone out of a casino for counting cards.
That gives me another idea for a thread.

Most books have a clause like that on bonuses. I wouldn’t worry about it and chances are you are a rec player. There is nothing wrong with that term.

Yeah but iff they are worried about you winning with a bonus because you're good to the point that they would take any money away from you for it......why wouldn't they just not pay you at all? They might just say you're a wise guy and not pay you period. If I send a 1,000 and bet five games for my account and win like 25,000 I don't want to be screwed. Almost every time I herd about someone winning big the book usually uses the line that they won't pay them because they were a pro. What's the point of giving a bonus to just bad players? They're the ones who will lose it....in which case it was almost like they gave you nothing. Just a thought. Maybe I'll check some other books .Stupid U.S. Makes a profit off of everything.....including drugs.....bit they don't want to get involved with sportsbooks. What a country.
