Bonus Abuse
The practice of exploiting sportsbook promotional offers for guaranteed or near-guaranteed profit, often using hedging strategies.
Like churning credit card sign-up bonuses -- profitable once, but you run out of cards to open.
Why it matters
Bonus abuse offers low-risk returns but triggers account restrictions faster than almost anything else.
How DMP uses this
DMP focuses on sustainable +EV from market inefficiencies rather than promotional arbitrage that leads to quick limitations.
Common mistake
Treating bonus abuse as a long-term strategy -- it is a one-time harvest, not a sustainable approach.
