It's not a promotion bonus. It is a champion bonus.

The financial bonus is just for the division winner and not for everyone who get a promotion.

Actually, it's exactly the opposite -- the bonus is for those who promote and therefore not necessarily for the division winners.

The team who beneficiate of bot cleanup dont received financial bonus.

To the best of my knowledge, they should.

Below is the relevant section from the rules. It does explicitly say bot promotion teams will receive the bonus.

From the rules on Standings. /BBWeb/rules.aspx?nav=Standings

The winner of the division finals is crowned champion of the division, and is promoted to a higher level of divisions. To keep our community fresh and lively, the next best teams in your division will promote to fill in any Bot-controlled team spots in higher leagues.

To help the newly promoted teams compete in the higher leagues, promoting teams will now receive a one-time bonus. Both promoting league champions and teams that promoted from a bot cleanup will get the extra cash, though bot-promoted teams will not experience the same boost to their season ticket holders. The bonus for promoting to a higher league is as follows:

* Promotion into DIV I: $ 1 000 000
* Promotion into DIV II: $ 500 000
* Promotion into DIV III: $ 300 000
* Promotion into DIV IV: $ 200 000
* Promotion into DIV V: $ 150 000
* Promotion into any lower division: $ 150 000

you fell through a hole, we didn't anticipate relegation (which didn't actually result in relegation because you were at the bottom), followed by a promotions, which is what went on with you.

You were in IV, lost the relegation, but didnt go anywhere, then was bot promoted. The logic as it was written assumed that meant you ended up in the same division, but of course you were promoted. This is also rare, in that most countries are not so depleted that teams that relegated in the bottom division end up getting a bot promotion. We will look into detecting all these such teams and giving them money and rewriting this code, but its actually quite bit of work, so we might not get to it immediately.

This will actually happen quite easily - once another level of divisions starts to be filled resulting in only very first ones (i.e. iv.1,iv.2 in this case) filled with human players and other of the same level only with bots. Side effect is that it knocks down few of those teams of cup competition and get hundreds of bots into the cup instead.
