If there are no repercussions for paying a bribe, then the optimal play is to indiscriminately offer bribes to get what you want while taking on none of the criminal liability.

You are right. In post-war Germany the paying of bribes was made legal and tax deductible. This was successful in reducing bribery.

Add a reward for whistleblowing on people accepting bribes?

Then it’s optimal to offer bribes indiscriminately, just to turn around and report them for accepting.
