Just seen this via twitter and now direct from NC on Blackbelt. Copied in full for clarity, please read regarding withdrawals, player points, access to account etc!

Neil Channing posted on 24 Feb, 11:51pm Today is a very sad day for me. It is with heavy heart that I have to announce that the Black Belt Poker skin will cease to exi(s)t from midnight this Friday February 28th. It's now almost six years since I came up with an idea which I thought at the time could lead to a shake-up in the UK online poker market. Since that time I have worked tirelessly to try and develop the project and to build the Black Belt brand. I've been helped in that endeavour by some excellent staff, some loyal and patient investors and a fantastic community of players who I hope have all had plenty of fun along the way. Sadly sometimes in life you just have to accept that things are not working and you need to move on. That time has come with Black Belt Poker. The business is still running as a Ltd company and we are simply ceasing to trade. We will be switching off the skin and no longer operating a poker site. I'm currently in discussions with another iPoker skin and hope to bring you news on how your Spending Points can be redeemed through them very shortly.There is no question of any players not receiving their balances which are safely held by our partner and cashier cage provider Boyle Poker, in a ring-fenced bank account. To get the money from your account you simply need to log on prior to Friday and withdraw as normal. If you fail to do this by the time the skin is inoperative you will definitely still be able to receive your money but you'll need to contact Boyles directly. They have a list of the players who have balances with the relevant amounts and I also have a copy of that list. It may take slightly longer to get paid if you wait until Saturday or later as Boyles will not be able to simply refund your card and they may need extra details from you such as ID. If you have any queries regarding withdrawals, or any other questions you wish to raise, I can be emailed at [email protected] or you can contact Boyles [email protected] or by calling 0800 316 0441. All that remains is for me to thank everyone who invested, who worked hard for us, who were sponsored by us, who participated in poker discussions on our website and particularly those who played on Black Belt Poker.
