Hi Ian,
I am assuming the sitemap you submitted was by no means void. Before you
replied, I had thought that I should point out that bad a site map, much
like bad robots.txt file, can have a seriously bad effect. I have randomly
selected 2 links from your front page to see if the neighbouring sites are
banned. Be aware that gambling sites are some of the nastiest, vilest things
that exist on the Web. I must have erased and blocked tens of thousands of
spam comments attempts from blackhat gambling sites that use hijacked
Windows PC's (zombies) to unleash their damage. And then there's E-mail
spam, as well.
Anyway, I couldn't quite find a 'bad neighbour', but I suggest that you check
if the submission of a sitemap intersected with the ban merely by
coincidence. You might also wish to try filing a reinclusion request and see
if you get reincluded, or at least receive an explanation.

Best wishes,
Roy
