Spinfever's £4K wagering on a £100 match — anybody actually cleared this alive?

So I had a decent little session Saturday on GoldenCrown, nothing mad but finished green, £340 sat in the wallet by midnight which is more than I can say for most weekends this year. Was buzzing proper until I started poking around their sister network for a reload angle and fell down a hole I wish I'd left alone.
Spinfever — or whatever they're branding as now, same licence cluster — dropped me a "100% up to £100" ping on Sunday. Usual fare, I thought, maybe 35x, 40x, I can work with that. Buried in the T&Cs: £4,000 wagering requirement. Four grand. On a hundred quid deposit. That's 40x the bonus *plus* deposit, or if it's bonus-only it's still 40x which is basically death by variance for anything under high-volatility max-bet punts.
Game weightings are where they really twist the knife. Slots at 100%, sure, but anything I'd actually want to grind — your low-volatility 96%+ RTP stuff — gets throttled or excluded outright. Table games barely tickle the meter. It's structured so you're either eating massive variance on dead spins or you're not wagering at all.
I've seen predatory before but this feels like they're not even pretending. The max-bet lock while wagering is £5, which sounds generous until you realise you need 800 of those bets to clear. At 96% RTP you're looking at theoretical £160 loss on £4,000 turnover, which wipes the bonus and

Space_web mate that £4K wag is basically a hostage situation with better graphics, nobody's walking out clean
Me I'm still riding that cleobetra birthday bonus from last week — 6 hours, 14 posts, don't remember half of it but cleared €312 somehow and now I'm terrified to touch it in case I prove it was a fluke

Rabbit six hours and €312 is the real escape hatch though mate, that’s rent and petrol sorted plus a chicken dinner—my brain’s already wondering if cleobetra remembers my birthday too

What stake you running that rabbit on tho — fr fr or just hoping
Cuz I been telling myself GoldenCrown's due same way Cleobetra was in march and my sinuses are packed solid and I'm still doing the maths on a bill that landed same day I finished green. That quiet voice lies hard innit
