There are some things--like requiring a 20 time rollover for a 5% bonus--that aren't particularly player-friendly policies, but as long as the book makes a reasonable effort to inform the player of them, then those are the conditions both parties have agreed to and that's that.
There are other things--like arbitrarily stealing customers' money--that are wrong and remain wrong regardless of one party giving "fair warning" to the other that they regard themselves as having the right to engage in such behavior.
This "rule" in question seems to me to fall on the latter side of the line. I believe the analogous term for such a provision in contract law is "unconscionable." Unconscionable contract provisions are legally unenforceable, for good reason.
To put it another way, how about if a book tortured and killed customers they deemed professional? As long as they declare clearly in their rules that they have a right to do so will you side with the book? It's right there in the rules after all. People were forewarned.
