The major UK sites have recently done a similarly dark move by adjusting their definition of "Depost Limit".

Used to be if you set, e.g. a £50/month deposit limit, then you couldn't deposit more than £50 a month.

They recently changed it to be a net limit, so if you withdrawl £500 after a win, you can now deposit £550.

While it can be argued that it still acts as a guardrail for maximum losses, it absolutely encourages problem gamblers to deposit more.
