As an incentive to get us to gamble on their site, casinos are now offering welcome bonuses. As competition gets fiercer, these welcome bonuses are getting larger, and casinos are offering more incentives to encourage users to signup.
The art of scalping - of signing up, taking the bonus, and running - has risen alongside the size of the bonuses. Casinos have fought back by placing restrictions on new users. For example you cannot withdraw your bonus without placing a certain number of wagers, or you need to place at least one wager worth X dollars.
Scalpers retaliated by putting their bonus money into games with the lowest house edge, like Craps, Baccarat, Roulette, and Blackjack. Casinos again stepped up the ante by placing minimum wager restrictions on these games, or lengthening the time period between a new user signing up and being able to withdraw their funds.
