Huh. Now that was some high-stakes poker right there. It seems the casino knew they were breaking the TOS and paying too little and Cloudflare caught up with that. Then knowing their situation they decided to ask for payment for all the expenses of the previous years (and some extra). In quite passive-aggressive manner.

But the casino still decided to stretch the penny and alas, whoever at Cloudflare was in charge got quite upset their extortion-tactic failed. So they decided to resolve it the American way and kick them out with zero warning - ouch! How fascinating.

I myself like using Cloudflare as it's quite affordable to setup and use. Makes me sad to know they have to resolve to tactics like this to finance their service. Well, at least I don't work in dubious businesses that violate TOS so perhaps I can at least wish for a graceful termination when my Enterprise bill is due.
