Remember a similar offer with KrisFlyer a couple of years back with the free signup points then transfer over? They put restrictions on it pretty quick after it hit ozbargain!
Ozbargainers have known about this a couple years. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/213750 Except they were more interested in gift cards than miles.

Struggling to use your Frequent Flyer Points?
Frequent Flyer Concierge takes the hard work out of finding award availability and redeeming your frequent flyer or credit card points for flights.
Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, the Frequent Flyer Concierge team at Frequent Flyer Concierge will help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.
Once the points come through I assume I can cancel membership with Crown?
I can provide a link to signup where if you actually deposit $9 you will get $99 in bonus bets as well as the 5000 points if anyone is interested let me know.
