I was also thinking another, rational, explanation for this heavy gambler. Suppose he invested two third of the money (now it would be 20K) of the current bankroll (30K) and decides to advertise the website (like putting on reddit "he is the whale of just-dice"). If he wages totally  50K he has an expected loss of 167B, but then in a couple of days the website may as well gets 50K in other wages (thanks to the "advertisement of the whale") and then he would earn 333B. The fact he keeps playing could be explained by a lower adversarial variance he has since he would be both an investor and a player.

Also in this case lowering the max-bet would make this strategy difficult
