It's been really odd, as I expected to, but I've only been banned from depositing at two casinos (both were Playtech but not the higher-profile ones). I didn't do anything sneaky as far as using different email addresses, using cover play, depositing more than the minimum to get the maximum bonus, etc. After the first three or four I was well, well ahead, as far as profits, so it wasn't a case of their allowing me to continue to signup and get bonuses while I was a loser overall or only marginally profitable.

I wish I had some advice as to how to avoid bannings but I really don't know how I did it. Especially with the main Playtech $100 + $200 bonuses, as I cleaned up on those. The only thing I did that might have helped is that I spaced them out over time, doing one or two a week, and spaced out my play over a few days, never depositing and cashing out the same day.

The first part of that (doing one or two a week) is contrary to a lot of the advice you'll see on bonus forums, where most people recommend cramming as many in before you get banned. I can see both sides of that, and, while spacing it out worked for me, your mileage may vary.
