As of January 2nd 2014 Canadians will have one less payment processor available to them. Skrill, formerly known as Moneybookers, has confirmed that they will be ceasing to offer their services to Canadians. Being a trusted and reliable processor, we are sure that many Canadians who have used their services in the past will be sad to hear the news. Here is their official statement received via email :
"We wanted to let you know that Skrill has reviewed its operations and will cease processing gambling payments in Canada. Payments to gambling merchants will no longer be processed from 2 January, with payments from merchants ceasing on 31 January.
"Skrill will be notifying active gamblers next week and will also communicate this to its broader Canadian customer base. Please ensure you liaise with appropriate departments within your business to communicate this development and to articulate any impact across your organisation.
"Skrill would like to thank you for your custom and remains committed to partnering with you to support your future business plans."
Though this means the end of Skrill in Canada, it is not the end for the company, merely a step into the future. Skrill was approved by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) last month to be the only company to offer a digital wallet for regulated gambling in the state.
