Received an e-mail that I had to withdraw all funds from betfair by July 31, since the country I live in will no longer be serviced by Betfair (I don't want to name the country to panic anyone). I sent the e-mail to CS. First they said they hadn't heard of it yet from legal dept. Then they wrote back to say it was genuine. I aske them to double check. Still waiting.

Wouldn't Betfair write an announcement in the Service area if residents of a country was longer allowed?

i do know that on 1 July BF suspended accounts registered in Bulgaria (because the Bulgarian Government introduced some kind of law or regulation that BF couldn't or wouldn't operate under), but I don't know anything about having to withdraw all funds.

Tho, if you can't bet with BF, there doesn't seem much point in leaving funds with BF, i'd have thought.

apparently BF isn't blocked in Bulgaria, they've just suspended Bulgarian accounts.
