    Default ripped off by online poker site

    Hi can anyone help and give me advice , My account was blocked in error by poker site in uk( littlewoods) just as i was starting a 400 dollar heads up. They emailed admitting there error and gave me 20 dollars as a good will gesture, i have sent repeated emails to them where they avoid or ignore anything to do with the 400 dollar game.
    what rights do i have if they continue to ignore me, i have to add i am not loaded , i played that game on tilt after bad beats and the money is a lot to me. I checked when they unblocked account and the game i was blinded out on.
    Thanks for reading, any advice would be great.

    They have IGC and Ecogra banner on their home page . If they don't sort this the next step would be to make a complaint .

    Default further email sent to them with hand history.

    They then emailed saying that on review i could have played the game out to the end, the hand history is there and obvious to anyone that i couldnt finish game. here is my email.

    .ExternalClass .ecxhmmessage P{padding:0px;}.ExternalClass body.ecxhmmessage{font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma;}Hi i recieved an email on my works email from you saying that i was not cut off during my 400 dollar heads up game ,if you look at the hand history on that game its very obvious that i was blocked and could not carry on.
    The first hand started at 15:29:39 seconds i played 27 hands then at 15:35:39 seconds my account was blocked by you. There was then a further 76 hands where i was automatically folded as you had cut me off , you can check every one of the las 76 hands and see i didnt and couldnt play any of them. the game finished at 15:43:05 seconds 7minutes and 26 seconds after you had blocked my account.
    I cant make this up as its all in the history for you to check, could you please take another look at this and get back to me, thank you.

    I thought the email may have read something like that. I don't think you'll get your money back. Accounts are re-enabled all the time after a review, but that is different than admitting they were wrong to do so in the first place. The hold was was placed (they will argue) in accordance with their TOS, which basically states that they can do so for any reason at all, even arbitrarily.

    No more tilted playing in games you cant afford to lose. Sorry I cant be more helpful.

    It seems unfair to me to block accounts during play , especially STT and MTT.

    Never said it was, or would seem fair, just recognizing the reality of the situation. Although I stated it was common, I don't believe it is ever random. Curious as to what reason they gave (not that they always will, they could just say in accordance with our TOS) for the hold being placed in the first place.Also to why they think the game could have been played out.

    I suppose, if story occurred exactly as told, in heads up game if one account is blocked during game, perhaps it could be canceled immediately. First question many would ask themselves is if they are losing a heads up game, is there anything they could do purposely to get a hold placed and lifted after so they are playing with almost no risk.
