I think Coinbase just closed my account because I mentioned SWC Poker...oops

Seems really obvious but I didn't think about it when asking for an upgrade of daily limits. They have you say why you need the upgrade and I mentioned a few personal ventures and for some stupid reason mentioned that I'd also like to play SWC Poker from time to time since it's legal here.

Then, after some googling, I'm not completely sure it's legal...

Then I logged in today to see this

Derp :-/

What sucks is they don't actually tell you why specifically they're closing the account. I just got an email stating that the limit increase was approved. Then I got this email stating a very broad and general reason why.

TL;DR: Don't be dumb like me and mention SWC or any online gambling to Coinbase, even if you think it's legal.

I'll update this if I hear back from them. This just happened a little over a half hour ago. I doubt I'll hear back before Monday.
