Do you approve of the 'high roller' term?
GPWA member mojo posted a poll this week that we thought was interesting, so we thought we'd make it this week's question. Mojo is wondering what people think about high roller terms, like the one Microgaming is offering, which in theory is supposed to "fence off" players who have won large sums of money in a given month, but in practice may or may not do just that?
