Its a no brainer I think.. At this time of year, most squares are taking their money home to use for Xmas, giving the books a smaller run on their bank, and less square action.. So they need some money sent the other way also to make up for it.. And they have to offer a good bonus to do this... Will only be a short term solution for them though, as 90% of the people they get in, will just be there for the bonus, and will be gone if they make it through roll-over, but that is nothing new though..
I think the bonus activity is far removed from the preseason football stuff so I am not too worried. I think more than anything this is a tough time to get money from anyone, with Christmas spending and parties to deal with no one has cash to spend so put out a bonus hoping to get your share. In Vegas this is always the lone very dead time of year when no one seems to want to come and gamble. I am thinking these bonuses are thinking along the same lines.
