So now you are saying all casinos are rigged as well? I suppose literally they are since every game they offer has a built in house edge. This is not really a secret.
Poker rooms (live or online) also have this built in house edge - called rake that everyone pays.
Reward schemes to build loyalty are common in all types of businesses. Even bagel places have membership frequent purchase cards.
Seems you are against capitalism, which is your right.

See, this is where you start getting into the mystical with the whole doomswitch once a customer gets a reward concept. You run a business. You like having loyal customers. So, you screw them once they show a certain level of loyalty?
In my bagel example this would be like if the place put rat poison in your bagel once you claimed your 1 free bagel after buying 10 others.
Your mind may create these bizarre paranoid reward program beliefs (rewardphobia I guess), and if you are that afraid of rewards you can always opt out of any reward or bonus plan. In the real world these programs just serve to increase loyalty, nothing more. An airline is not going to have a plane crash if it is filled with people using free miles tickets.

Nice timing on that downswing wasn't it. My graph literally nosedived.
Not sure what to say about this other then it is a very simple form of self deluded paranoid thinking. You actually believe that this huge company specifically targeted you for claiming a reward, and yet people claim those rewards (even bigger ones as well) tons of times a day and we have not heard an uproar which would happen if this was a systemic issue.
If you had a customer who received the incorrect change from you and claimed it was a huge conspiracy to screw him because he just got a free bagel from you guys as a loyalty reward what would you say to him? Dude, that guy is you.

What you really want me to say is "It would harm my business" so that you can say "Ahh so you can see why OP sites wouldn't do it cause it would harm their business".
This kind of theft really isn't comparable to OP though. If someone deposited say 100$ and the site took $110 that would be comparable but the theft going on in OP is a little trickier to spot than counting the change in your pocket.
It is the exact same crime only to a different scale. You assume others do it casually all the time with no regard for consequences, yet you clearly avoid it because of the consequences and relatively minor gain it represents. That is what running a long term business is all about, regardless of the size.

Email the sites or do actual research instead of just making up amusing "likely" theories which are to be diplomatic, a tad erratic.
Thank you for your post though, your paranoid tendencies and beliefs really do serve as a poster for those considering the riggedology faith, so they have a better idea of what to expect.
All the best.
