StanJames account complaint

The player tells SBR that he has been a StanJames user since May of 2011, placing daily bets for a period of three months prior to having his account closed. An email was sent to the user on July 2nd, 2011 informing him that his account was closed with a 0 balance. The player disputes this, claiming that he has records indicating that he held a €2,600 balance. SBR is looking into this sportsbook complaint.
