Well that and overly greedy business owners.
The whole "greedy business owners" argument is, and always has been, 100% false.
In an actual market economy, where consenting people can do as they please with their money, it becomes obvious. Look at poker/sports betting/online casinos before black Friday. People were clearing tens of thousands per year, or more, by simply bonus whoring.
If there weren't so many artificial government barriers to entry to start and maintain a dfs site (legal uncertainty, tax requirements, money laundering restrictions and rules, advertising constraints etc etc etc) we would see much more friendly bonus terms and offers along with an explosion in new sites. Hell, we are already seeing lots of new sites pop up just in the last year or two. Maybe it will end up going offshore, who knows.
But if one business "rips people off" by offering a $600 slow releasing bonus, there's a huge incentive to offer a $600 bonus that releases much faster. Then you run a few clever ads and take some customers. That's how market economies work. There's no dfs cartel that agrees behind the scenes to keep deposit bonuses locked up for eternity until people go broke and can't claim them. Sorry to burst your bubble but the government is the problem here, not the dfs sites. Bonuses release slowly. You can accept it, or not play, or try and raise some funding for a new dfs site that offers instant $600 in free play, no strings attached. Good luck.
