Just in case some of you haven't experienced betfair stay well away.

To cut a long story short my bankroll is in betfair I transferred it into paypal then out of paypal. I created a new paypal account for this and all seemed fine.

This morning I go to log into betfair and my account is 'closed'. I call and discover that paypal have marked my account as 'suspicious' because I deposited and withdrew money in a short period of time... well... what are you meant to do?

Anyway because of this Betfair have put my account on hold until everything is verified, Paypal are asking for all sorts of id (this is 120$ by the way not the crown jewls).

The result is I can't get at my bank roll i've been steadily building over the past week and I can't play any poker - apart from poker stars free rolls (which is where I should have left my money in the first place)

Just thought I'd warn anyone planning to use paypal and or betfair - they are both sub standard in the way they treat their customers, I'm fast learning that this is common knowledge as far as pay pal goes, but thought an insight into betfair might help someone else from getting into this nasty situation.
