Cloudflare is a business. Businesses protect their profits. Online casinos are scams subject to regular massive DDOS by their scumbag competitors and by people who want them shut down. Cloudflare wasn't going to eat that loss anymore so they kicked them to the curb to save money. Also the time frame wasn't 24 hours. More like a month. This makes me suspect the scamming casino's story more.

That wasn't it, Cloudflare didn't like the way the casino was using Cloudflare's IPs, since they were getting banned in multiple countries.

Cloudflare only offers byoIP as part of a business package, and that comes with extortionate pricing.

You say that like it's ok to do shitty things as long as "you're a business protecting profits"

The purpose of the comment is clearly: "Cloudfare didn't kick out the casinos because of a compromise with good ethics, but because it was making them lose money". Please read it again.

I was just having issues with your opener which sounds whole lot like justification.

I'm not the person you were replying to, either.
