So what are the danger signs that the program operators are planning to exit stage right with the loot?

3) Pushing people to rollover all their profits or increase their spends.

4) Slipping on payout dates or amounts.

5) Lame excuses why payouts are not being made.

6) Significant rule changes or new conditions to get paid.
