It was made up by a shitty illegal crypto casino:

Of course you can't find specific examples because they are known to be great with customers.
Opinions. Irrelevant. What is and isn't "shitty" is a matter of opinion. Obviously fuck casinos and crypto scams but it ain't relevant.
The explanation you linked on the other hand is valid. I think it's a little ridiculous though that Cloudflare can't do any sort of geo-restriction instead. Just about everything is illegal somewhere.
I can't be arsed.
That's not their job, it's the job of the site operator.
It's a free-tier service ffs. Who runs a company on a free-tier?
It is their job. They advertise it as bot blocking
It's super relevant in this case since they were shutdown for abusing the system and given warning that they decided to ignore while looking for a new provider.
