Dear xxxxxxxxx,
Thank you for your recent email.
I'm afraid this is something that was going to be brought into affect but I can't confirm the dates as yet, and will have to check this with the Poker manager tomorrow.

If you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

If you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

This email suggested that there are other roads they might go down (whatever that means) so I wrote once more to ask if the change had been decided on yet and got back:

Despite conflicting messages it seems clear they are making this change. Seems crazy to me but there's not much I can do about it.
