    Thanks for the information.

    As you don't appear to have a consumer rights issue, perhaps your thread is better suited to the Praise, Vent & Warnings board.

    Have you asked either Paypal or Cassava Enterprises for their views?

    Cassava wont allow me to deposit because they have blocked me but the site I am trying to deposit on is not Cassava related.

    Paypal have not answered my question either so am mystified.

    If you've raised disputes against gambling sites through Paypal, it could well be that Paypal are now declining to process transactions for gambling sites on your behalf. It's unlikely to be Cassava. Speak to Paypal

    Was the BR Bingo or Gambling related? If not, what's your problem?

    Perhaps the universe is telling you to stop chucking your money away on arsewipe online bingo sites.

    I really am surprised you have to ask if I have a problem. The OP is obviously in a perilous financial position to such an extent they have been blocked from at least one gambling site and you ask what my problem is.

    I'm very surprised and slightly saddened at your response arcon.

    I agree. Not surprised with his response honestly. Often gives good advice, but has typed some howlers which are seriously embarrassingly wrong.

    These gambling companies do talk to each other.

    Given there appears to be a history some of us are not aware of. That may have a major reason for the decline.

    From a legal point of view.

    NO company has the trade with anyone and has the right to refuse your money.

    We don't know why op cannot deposit on the other sites. Nor do we know the extent of ops gambling. For all we know op could have a small flutter a couple times of month or something, which I see nothing wrong with, despite the BR. It's no different to spending money on luxuries such as a Starbucks once a week.

    But then I don't know ops history, and it seems you may know more about it than I do.

    Of course if ops BR was relating to gambling debt or the result of reckless and thoughtless spending sprees or was barred because op attempted to defraud them because of financial difficulties then this would be a whole different matter.

    Btw, I should have written 'what's the problem' rather than 'what's your problem'. Wasn't meant to sound like an attack on you.
