Hi ragster22 - welcome to ThePOGG.com!
As a UK citizen you should only be playing with operators that hold a UKGC license. MrJames do not hold a UKGC license and as such are breaking UK law by accepting your custom.
Secondly, the group you have chosen to play with are both negatively listed here and inconsistent in their approach to managing complaints submitted to this service.
Finally MrJames are a weakly licensed operator with no clearly defined Responsible Gambling standards that they are required to meet. As such there nothing to stop them reopening accounts.
All we can suggest is our free Responsible Gambling app BetBlocker that will restrict your device from accessing unlicensed sites like MrJames.
Sorry we cannot be of further help.
