In hindsight maybe I kept the wrong one because I can't win sh*t there anymore! (you hear me Royal Vegas?

This seems a common problem encountered when trying to close an account. It is NOT necessary to close an account in order to "clean house". Uninstalling those surplus to requirements will do fine, and you avoid all these issues like "6 month lockdown", and worse - being added to a list that in at leat one case documented here lead to a player having winnings confiscated at a new casino because they were added to an "addict list" when closing an old one (funny how the "addict list" didn't stop them from DEPOSITING
)
When you don't close an account, each operator has it's own policies for "dormant accounts". Very often, this leads to a "please come back" offer that can be even better than the welcome bonus. Dormant accounts sometimes get taken off the system, and you have to ask for reactivation, but because a closure was never requested, the issue of "gambling problems" does not arise, and the casino are usually pleased you have come back for another go.
In practice, I have found some very "dormant" MGS accounts of mine are STILL "in the system", and I have received many "please come back" offers, more especially since the US pull out, and global downturn - funny that
