these affiliates are paying the bonus themselves

any affiliate, not just high-volume ones should be able to offer this bonus if they want to take the risk; if a bunch of low-limit bonus whores started doing this, they would lose money as the 12,500 hands is not enough to get them $500 in commission if the player is playing .5/1 or, even worse, newbie microlimit tables
