I have been playing at SportNation for some time now.
After depositing (£25), playing and making a small(ish) withdrawal request (£100) on Tuesday evening. I was sent an email requesting basic KYC documents.
So, although I've probably sent those documents previously, considering how many years my account has been open and all the previous withdrawals I've made. I emailed my documents yesterday afternoon.
yesterday evening I received this email...

So I asked them to clarify what the problem was, and received this email...
Hi Brian,
Thank you for your message.
Your account was closed as a business decision in relation to the terms per the email sent regarding your account closure. We apologise for any disappointment this may cause, however the decision is final.

So, I'm still none the wiser as to what I've done wrong.
They did, however, pay the withdrawal a few hours later
