I am confused. Are they taking $20 off the top, or you must have at least $20 in the account to get any money out but you get it all?

[gila]

Sounds to me like, if you have less than $20, well then, FU.

Edit: I guess this is their location if that makes any difference: FGH (Acquisitions) Spin Limited, 1 Mapp Street, Belize City, Belize

[alvaroaze]

so they are stealing from everyone that has less than $20?

Most places do have minimum cashout amounts...

Note the reference to your state ... quite likely they are only closing out players who reside in states that have passed legislation specifically prohibiting online gambling, since being on the receiving end of a financial transaction from online gamblers in such states now becomes a federal crime under the UIGEA.

If they were closing out all Americans, I expect that they would have worded it differently.

another publicly traded company?

I'm glad I did Spin Palace back when they had their 100% match up to 300 GBP now. Not to brag or anything*, but I ended up running hot there and cashed out about 1250 pounds too.

Yes - they were acquired by Fairground Gaming (FGH on the LSE AIM) a short while back.
