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.
That would be my ABSOLUTE last solution to the problem.

Will never do such a thing until there's totally and absolutely no way out!

I have just gotten off the phone with Bet365 again and now they're telling me that Entropay was the ones who actually adviced them to close my account. There's nothing more they could do and I'd have to take it up with Entropay regarding this issue.

Entropay asking them to close my account???? What has Entropay got to do with Bet365 other than just a Payment Provider?
