It looks like the OP of this post (BitcoinVideoPoker) has been permanently banned. Was it because of the last Giveaway they posted in this thread, which is usually against the forum rules?
I am wondering why they never appealed the ban. Usually, other users just get temporarily banned for the same offense.
Sad that it happened to them (BitcoinVideoPoker) though
That account was banned according to BPIP.

here A more likely reason is they motivated participants in that giveaways to shill their experience in posts in the casino announcement thread. It is against forum rule, but is it worth for a permanent ban?
