I'd be interested to see if / how Cloudflare will respond to this. Because at this point I'm not 100 percent sure who is in the right.

Yeah I have no sympathy for a casino and as a software developer I would never work for one, but in the other corner you have a company with too much power.
First of all, congrats! Your business must have become pretty successful. How exactly did CF decide to “ask” you to switch to Enterprise?
Maybe...
* You violated their terms of service...
I wouldn't say Cloudflare is innocent, here, but this business handled Cloudflare the cudgel that was used to beat them. They admit to doing something with their domains that was expressly prohibited in the service they were paying for.
Then they offered to resolve it in whatever way CF deemed appropriate and CF refused to elaborate exactly which domains were the issue.
Today's tech business model:
First you get the power, then you extort the money.
Sounds like any Cloudflare customer should reconsider their hosting setup . Mark Anderson has decided to strip the customers to increase the bottom line... And once the numbers are up but the customers are gone.... Will move on to the next company
Not a huge surprise, they've got a long history of doing all kinds of scumbag shit. Nobody should be surprised when the leopard eats their face.
