- Between 8-10 characters
- Start with a letter
- Contain at least one number
- No special characters
Please let us know if this works or if you need anymore help.

Thanks for trying!
I have checked our systems and can see you spoke with our team yesterday and an IT ticket has been raised with our support team.
The turnaround is usually 5-7 working days to resolve so hopefully you'll hear back from the team soon!
Keep us posted.

Hi memike, thanks for getting back to us.
I am sorry to that your online account activation issue is still not resolved and that you did not receive your reference number for the I.T. ticket. I am going to send you a private message so that we can update you. Please look out for the purple envelope in the top right of your screen.
