Today I received an email advising my account is being closed? Why?

As part of changes in our product line-up, we will be closing Gaming accounts belonging to our UK/Isle of Man clients.  
**What this means for you**

You can no longer trade digital options on any of our platforms. You also can’t deposit funds into your Gaming account.

Any open positions on digital options have been closed with full payout.  
**What you need to do now**

Please proceed to withdraw all your funds from your Gaming account before **30 November 2021**.
