Skrill Stops Services for Canadians

December 25, 2013

For many years, Canadian players who access online casinos have been using Skrill as a means of managing their real money accounts in the casino. This payment method has been a trusted way to make fast and safe deposits and withdrawals, however, the service will no longer be offered to players from Canada. The change should begin on January 2, where Skrill users in Canada will have to find another way to conduct their transactions at their favourite online casinos. As of January 2, players will not be able to make any transactions to online casino accounts. However, players will have until January 31 to complete all Skrill withdrawals from their account.

Any Canadian player that is currently using Skrill is advised to remove all funds from their account a few days before the change is to take place. This will ensure that players receive all of their money that is being held in their electronic accounts. Skrill has decided to withdraw from the Canadian market to focus on the US market. It is currently offering deposit and withdrawal services to players in the state of New Jersey. Since the US is undergoing online gambling law changes, Skrill hopes to enter this market and capitalise on the many players who will need a way to manage their casino accounts when online gambling becomes completely legal.

For Canadian players who will still be gambling online, there are still many trusted methods that can be used to conduct real money transactions. A number of players will be switching to Neteller, while some will enjoy the services of InstaDebit. Even though Skrill will no longer offer services to the Canadian market, players will still have some great ways to manage casino accounts and continue enjoying playing real money games in online casinos.

With about a week to go, players currently using Skrill are urged to start with the selection of a new payment method so that as of January 2, they can still deposit to their casino accounts using another method. Many players have already closed their Skrill accounts in anticipation of this major change. For Canadian players, the loss of Skrill services will affect many, but since there are other options, it will not cease any online gambling activity within the country.
