Letter
Write to Party Poker (copy to Entropay & Bet365) threatening to sue for damages as their unexplained action has cost you winnings at Bet365 who are treating you adversely for the actions of Party Poker and Entropay.
The more solicitor like the letter, the better. If you can get a solicitor to draft it better still.
The aim is not to need to take them to court, but to call their bluff as court action will open their actions to scrutiny. If their grounds are flimsy, damages would be payable due to the "defamation" aspect with Bet365.
This tactic works more often than you might think, but you must appear as though you fully intend to follow through.
Casinos pull these stunts because they think themselves outside the court system, and most complainants will not go this far. Party Poker is listed on the London stock market, and would certainly be worried if you proposed action in an English court, and they may feel $5500 is enough to prompt you to follow through.
If their bluff is called, you should get an out of court offer made that should result in a proper explanation and payment of all monies due. They probably won't reopen the accounts, but you will have been paid, and can put it behind you.
