@SimX9000: Paddy did refund the original deposit.

Interesting, it's not that much $ so I think PP is seizing it just for principal but this is huge grey area. I think PP should just refund the original deposit amount. I can't imagine PP would close an account unless the player asked to be self excluded forever a long time ago. With so many accounts people can slip through the cracks.
