Is this considered "not recreational" betting? Have users been found out, blocked, or had assets seized for doing this?
2) Along the same lines, there seem some books that are related to each other. Do they share bets of their users to address the possibility of #1. For example, BetOnline seems to be the same as sportsbetting. BetDSI always has the exact same odds as bookmakers. Do the management staff of these books compare bets to find patters of people doing "bonus arbitrage" as described in #1?
