"Bonus Abuse Ring" & "Fraud Ring" - differences and consequences ?!

With this thread, I am trying to find out what really adds up for a bonus abuse ring and also what constitutes a fraud ring or group from a casino owner/manager perspective. (I think, few things are obvious about fraud - such as false, stolen or altered passports and identity cards, as well as credit card clones or money laundering or bonus dumping, but beside all these I think this term is used and enforced too frequent by online casinos and the only target is to avoid payment so many times - what proof they should show ?)
From my understandings, a bonus which "can be abused" is a bonus which after the wagering requirements are meet, should leave a withdrawable profit for the player, in theory at least. This means that a bonus can be lost along with the money deposited for it, but after (many) more tries the player will recover all loses and make a (tiny) profit in the long term, playing under same circumstances. (of course a proper strategy needs to be used each time) - And, as usually the bonus is only a first time deposit bonus, the player needs more attempts at it. But just lets say I just found a profitable deposit bonus, and I am trying to exploit it. Then, I tell to all my friends about it too, and to all my neighbors from my block too. And I tell them exactly what to do, what game(s) to play and exactly what bets to do. But would be also EXACTLY the same thing if I would tell them about www.beatingbonuses.com
because following their strategy as a result we would be making exactly same bets. - Is anyone here thinking differently about this ?
1. Now what I can not understand is, how the casino is legally well in its rights to accuse me or any of us, of being part of a fraud or bonus abuse group/ring ? - I mean, they are legally allowed to say: "many players from your country/city/area took this bonus and all played identical, so we deem you are part of a bonus abuse ring - this is our proof - so we see fit to void your winnings, close your account and return your deposit" ? - But of course, the lost deposits from the other "connected" players are kept by the casino !
In my opinion, even if I am going into my friends house and guide them on how to register their account at that respective casino, and also advising them what deposit method to use for their deposits in order to take that profitable bonus, and even if I am watching them while they play and advise them what games to choose or what to bet I do not see what casino term I am breaking or how this would make me part of a bonus abuse ring ? - All this, because I have no monetary gains from what I do, all I do maybe is purely for my satisfaction of seeing my friends beating a casino ! - How the casino can prove who is wrong and who is not ?
2. I know that some casinos use to check with e-wallet companies history transactions between their shared customers in order to CHECK & LINK accounts which have sent money between each others, but many are aware of this already. - So what other than that ?
3. And another question is this: "Fraud ring" it is NOT the same thing with an "Abuse ring ? From my understanding (please correct me if am wrong) FRAUD=CRIME while ABUSE=EXPLOIT, so my point here would be that if a person is deemed to be a bonus abuser (by his playing patterns - ie. cashing out immediately after wagering requirement have been met) then that person should be banned from future bonuses only, but paid his current winnings !!! And on the other hand, when some player(s) is proved to be fraudster(s) for example bonus collusion - ie one is taking a match deposit bonus and is dumping his money along with his deposit into one LINKED account from where he/his friend can cash out clean money, then the casino should void all existing $$$ from all accounts involved.

Why does it matter? All management decisions are final. If you don't agree, you are happy to open a case - in Tuvalu or Gibraltar or whereever their juristinction is.

- I guess that is a different question: what would be the total cost range of an international lawsuit against an online casino ?
- Many players make complains on specialized online forums to force the casino to pay, because bad publicity is a strong tool.
- Should be there any difference in the proofs exposed by casino on an online forum compared to if in face of a legal Court ?
