Want to withdraw via bank transfer, its saying use paypal first !

tried cheque, get this, this is crazy

Your withdrawal request cannot be accepted. In order to be able to withdraw via Cheque please check that on all the other payment methods you have used (PayPal) you have withdrawn at least the amount you have deposited.

You have to withdraw back to whatever method you used to deposit I guess to try and stop money laundering, etc. Once you withdraw to the deposit method you used you should be able to withdraw the rest by bank transfer.

Failing that, why don't you try and contact Betfair. They might know the answer.
