Promo Ban
When a sportsbook excludes a user from promotional offers like boosted odds, deposit bonuses, or free bets due to being flagged as sharp.
Like losing your frequent flyer status -- the flights still exist, you just do not get free upgrades anymore.
Why it matters
Promo bans are often the first sign of account limitation and can significantly reduce the +EV available from a book.
How DMP uses this
DMP's value is in finding market-based +EV from mispriced lines, which works regardless of promotional access.
Common mistake
Relying on promos as your primary edge source -- promos dry up, but mispriced markets do not.
