"Online games will now be banned from giving players rewards if they log in every day, if they spend on the game for the first time or if they spend several times on the game consecutively. All are common incentive mechanisms in online games."

Banning login bonus is such a good idea. When I am busy I simply don't have time or remember to login once per day and then I miss out on some items.

I'm alright with the games that give you daily rewards but they don't have to be consecutive days. It still benefits people who log in everyday, but you at least aren't entirely missing out

or they get around it by not making it a "login" bonus but "do this really quick and easy daily quest" bonus.
