US players: Is skrill/moneybookers reliable for withdrawing money

[kakurologist]

Hello,

This is a question for US players. Is skrill/moneybookers a reliable vehicle for withdrawing money from a casino? Anybody has any good/bad experience to share?

 

Basically, I want to know if they will freeze up my winnings because the money is coming in from an online casino (because of federal regulations against online gambling).

 

Thanks.

Hi kakurologist and welcome to the forum!

 

Yes, Skrill (former Moneybookers) is one of the most secured and wide spreaded e-wallets in the world nowadays. Unfortunately, as a US citizen you're not able to use it. But if you can use Neteller instead, also quite popular and secure e-wallet. And don't worry, no one will ever freeze your winnings, no matter where do they come form!

Valdes,

Thanks for your response, but your information about Neteller is not correct. Neteller no longer accepts US customers and their executives were arrested at the behest of US authorities back in 2007. They were given the "rough treatment" by the US government and they no longer deal with US customers. 

 

Their Web site is very clear on this point.

 

Thanks.

Yep, you are right about Neteller. I was misled from wrong information given to me by a friend of mine from the USA. But he is already punished for doing this!
