Introduced at the start of the year. It violates EU laws, so no one really cared at first.

I still think it will be revoked sooner or later, but I'm not taking any chances. Before my accounts get frozen or something, I withdrew all my winnings. (What I have at Everest, etc. is my winnings since then. And I'll be withdrawing that soon enough as well.)
The funny thing is that the ban is only for private gambling sites - to protect people from a gambling addiction. But apparently you can't get addicted to gambling on the
state-run sportsbook. So if you wanna throw away your life savings on that one, no problem.

Only thing I can think of is a team transfer on Pokerroom, or a Paylpal/Neteller payment.

Don't suppose you've got a Moneybookers account? Otherwise I guess I can upload some cash to PayPal - under protest, mind you. They force you to offer PayPal for some eBay auctions over here now (video games, etc. - to protect the buyer from "fraud". Gimme a break.) and then rip you off with ridiculous fees (for the recipient.) Don't know what it's like in the UK, but you might wanna check.
