Blind betting on Bonus Texas Hold 'em Poker

We have recently launched our Progressive Bonus Texas Hold 'em Poker in one of our Pagcor casinos in Manila, Philippines. We formulated our own IRG for the said game and we are in adilemma on the matter of the blind bet for players who wish to play more than one hand on a particular deal. Just like in carribean Stud Poker wherein a player can only handle one hand and any additional hand is considered a blind bet with automatic raise on his ante bet, we adapted the same for our Bonus Texas Hold 'em. In the latter's case however, there is still the matter of betting on the turn and the river. Some of our gaming officers are pushing for the automatic bet on the turn as well as on the river. I believe that as matter of fairness and not giving too much house advantage against the player, checking shoul be allowed for players on the turn and river.
Kindly enlighten me and my co-officers on the internationally accepted rule on this matter base on real odds and house advantage.
Thank you so much, GOD speed!
