    If you highlight the box covering the held funds it will give you examples as to why funds are held.

    Sky customer service will give you more info and you can still play with held funds.

    Don't want to accuse you of anything but it is usually for something they consider (lets just say) 'un-natural'.

    it might only be for  24 hrs .. it happens some times....If it was sports betting it's instant !! 

    Poker maybe  24hrs... it should be cleared in the morning !!

    dont worry .. it happens all the time , if I had say 100 quid  in account, then won 150 that night, I could withdraw the  100 instantly but the  150 would clear  in the  morning ... Sports betting  wins are  instant !

    They seem to hold funds when you win a large amount (in percentage terms) on a table.

    Say I win £2 on .05/.10p  table then they never appear to be in the held funds section and they are always available to withdraw instantly.  However if I won £200 on a .05/.10p table then it would be held.

    I think its so that the fraud team can do a check to see if there wasn't anything dodgy going on.
