I think the regulations have changed again?
I got am email from Poker Heaven a couple of weeks ago that said that due to
new regulations from 1st Oct they would not be able to accept UK players and to withdraw any money I have before then.
I got another email from them yesterday saying due to a change in the regulations UK players will still be able to play on there.
I should imagine this will apply to all such sites, although i am not 100% it sounds hopefull.

Crazy that they haven't logged me out yet. If I close the software tho I will then be blocked also. I wonder if I can reg for a game?
EDIT: I couldn't be bothered regging so I joined a cash game in play money and I am sitting at the table.

Looks like it wasn't about the new UK license after all.

I sent an e-mail to support@carbonsports.ag asking to withdraw my remaining balance of $201.50 now that they have exited the UK market.
(my last withdrawal was $1000 a few months ago to neteller and since then they have removed the Neteller option and imposed the $500 min for Bank Wire Transfer)
The first (quick) reply was —
This is just a quick email to let you know that we are looking into your withdrawal issue. As soon as we have an update, we'll notify you. Please expect a reply within 24-48 hours, depending on volume.
A few hours later —
We require you to confirm if you would like for us to send you your remaining account balance via Bank wire, or if you will provide with a Skrill account number.
I've replied (Bank Wire) ... so we will see

I definitely think you should and everyone else too — they shouldn't be keeping our money!
AFAIK the first withdrawal in a calendar year is free (except to e-wallets), then subsequent withdrawals have a 3% charge for bank wire, and debit card (if you have deposited by card) and 5% charge for all Skrill payments.
There will be some kind of exchange rate from USD to GBP but that is done by my bank when they receive the $
As I said I have verified and withdrawn already, so if you have never done this you will need to submit copies of Driving Licence, Utility bill (for address) and bank details if you take the Bank Wire route

Well, I've just received my $34.30 from Carbon
On 2nd Oct I sent them this email...
"Hi Support, I am a UK player and you have just closed my account with only 6 days notice.
Can you please tell me how I can withdraw the money I have left in my account"
They said right away that they would sort it out and, after a few more emails back and forth,
I've just received it via my newly created Skrill account.
Nice one Carbon.
(For the record, I had never deposited at Carbon).
