It looks like that might be the case sally. They are obviously cracking down. I think I read that macgirl said something similar. I guess you will need to play though and hope you win again to take you up to withdrawal levels. Bu&&er, I know, but at least you are not having to "risk" your own money, to do it.
I think it comes under the heading of "all good things come to an end".....which is a real shame because it was such a good loophole. At least you are £60 to the good, already, and you might win big using the balance you have, which would then let you withdraw, so all is not lost.....just have to play on the games with the bigger prize pots, or alternatively try and win two or three of the smaller prize money amounts to take you up to the required level. I am sure you will get *something* out of the remaining time you have with them.Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes.

Morning diary
Pretty uneventful weekend to be honest
Work on Saturday and then yesterday I went for a run, played with B and then we went to my godsons birthday party.
At work today until 1pm and OH has already managed to !!!! me off. Ask if I want a lift to work and I said why do you need the car, going to go and sort out getting his bike back. Now firstly I was going to walk so getting a lift is fine if he is going straight on, secondly why can't he pick the phone up and save the £5 petrol getting there. So I say you'll need to put petrol in the car and gave him £10 to which he huffed about and say don't worry you take the car I won't go. grrrrrrrr for god sake grow up, so because I was then late I had to take the car to work instead of walking..
I don't know why I let such small things get to me but Im not going to let himwind me up, if he wants to act like a child then so be it!
and breathe ....I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....
