Hi i was wondering has anyone else encountered really strict verification checks when using Skrill recently. In the last month i have had to notarise a document as well as having to provide proof of income for 2k worth of deposits.

Just curios. What do u mean by deposits. Wire to skrill or player transfer(old to new).I dont know more option?

[ranthest]

a transfer from skrill.

Not been asked for source of wealth or notorised BS yet, but if I am they can shove their service up their arse.

Ive reverted to mostly using debit cards and its just as easy as Skrill, and at least my bank wont start sharing info with the bookmakers and who else I transact with etc

But if money is coming from friend(send money function)? Why do u have proof your income?

I never do friend to friend transfers, Skrill let the bookmakers know both persons immediately lol

I guess the main lesson to be learnt from all of this is to have an explanation for money flows and provide documentary evidence for these flows.

If Skrill or NT act as a ebankers, or ewallet, they are financial institution, right?
So they are breaking law, and pretty nasty way, if they share information to third party.
If someone has a proof of this, i think they would lose their baking licence instantly.
Bookmaker has no right to know to who i send my money. I can send my money freely to who ever I want.

If I send money to my brother, so he can go to tesco and buy a cheap notebook or phone, limited to one per customer, are we guilty? Are we a community overtaking tesco ?

Banks, nor skrill has nothing to worry about regarding my finance. Tax man, government - that is who should care. But my taxed money, for gods sake, is 100% free.

They absolutely 1000000% share info with books whenever they are asked that is cast iron!

It was fun for a while but even if you put all these details about verification, them sharing info with bookies aside, depositing through skrill it's a giant red flag for the bookies nowadays...

I don't believe it. Arbers have always made big income for skrill. Why would they just give this info? And they can't just take money for this from bookmakers.
I had many accounts limited and I can see when limits come.
And the fact you use Skrill, it's a big red flag. This is the biggest problem.

[Al45]

Why would they give out info?
Because Skrill takes 1-3% from your deposit and as well from deposits of "regular" players - bookie can tell to Skrill that they will leave Skrill, if Skrill supports arbers. So Skrill will lose much money from their fees. But ironically, I assume most of these fees are generate by arbers (frequent deposits)

I still don't believe it. The problem is that big bookies exist for like +15 years and they already have attracted most gamblers around. And new accounts are reviewed like crazy after skrill deposit. 
If someone has like 45 years and he just now notice there is online betting and he deposits with skrill right away? Big red flag...
