Thinking more about it, highstakers who win too much too fast may also be suspected of being on the receiving side of a chip dump... at least
that's how 888poker likes to motivate its bans.
It's needless to say that very weak fish look like they're on the giving side of a chip dump so playing against them raises reg flags even on those networks that don't ban bumhunting explicitly.
The problem is that dumping accusations occur on a rather random basis while obvious botters and scripters remain unpunished for years. If GG has a strict policy against bumhunting, then it should have a security department strong enough to enforce it universally, not selectively. If it's indeed the case, then I applaud to them, but somehow I don't believe that a relatively unknown and small network can be so proficient at this.
Otherwise, playing there as a reg looks like roulette, with the possible outcomes being a ban without confiscation and a ban with it. However, I believe one can significantly rig the chances in this roulette in his favour if he shows his usefulness to the network, i.e. plays against everyone willing, grinds at more low stake tables instead of fewer high stake ones, clicks on emoticons at the tables often, streams on Twitch, promotes GG in other social media, etc. I don't believe they're willing to punish a reg without a compelling reason when they know he's influential among recreationals (I'm not, unfortunately) and would start making big waves if he were banned.
As the last resort, as I mentioned earlier, knowing one of their sponsored players or endorsed promoters personally must really help have the ban lifted or at least the bankroll returned.
