That ^ happened to me with 'eppassporte'. I'd just set up account, made a few deposits, paid for & sent away for the 'card'... then they ceased processing for pokersitesFigures, I just made a skrill account last week too
Last month, Skrill received permission to conduct transactions for companies serving the fledgling market of online gambling in New Jersey. It is possible that the condition of obtaining a license was phased activities on gray markets such as Canada. In addition, the company recently changed owners and the new owners of CVC Capital Partners may not be such a risk appetite, as the previous owners.
Any thoughts about what you folks will be using 'apres Skrill'?
I've never done 'bank transfer'. Have always made deposits with MC GiftCards & Skrill. I don't even know what's involved in the process
I've begun making withdrawals off of sites with small amounts & will likely just keep bankrolls on 4 sites - Stars, FTP, WillHill, Party (& a few others open just for CC games, etc.). I'm so used to being able to rapidly move money around that I never even bother to think about BRM or anything of the sort.
Thanks JJ, that covers all the sites I'll be playing on.
which pokersites are leaving?There seems to be something going on behind the scenes in the banking sector, which is leading to payment processors and poker sites leaving the country.

which pokersites are leaving?
With Skrill's services coming to a close (re: pokersites) for Canadians, I've been trying clean up a bunch of small bankrolls across a number of sites (ie. some of which I hadn't previously deposited with Skrill).
On most it has been a fairly easy process, typically getting the money off the site(s) within 72hrs. On others it has not been so simple (going to make a thread in pokerrooms section, outlining which sites have been a pain in the arse... ie hidden fees/requirements, etc. & which ones are real easy & fast).
Most of the iPoker network (Playtech) have been straightforward/easy but had a bit of deal with 'MyBet'. First it was my verification needed to be sent in again. Then I needed to make 'another' deposit (last one was more than 6mos. ago).
Then they said I needed to wager the amount I'd deposited prior to making a withdrawal (on some sites I needed to deposit just to increase the amount on the site so I'd have enough to meet the min. amount for withdrawal).
I was a bit bummed.... I really didn't want to play on myBet & had just deposited another 20 euros on there
So I decided I'd wager the 20euros on a bet. Went to the sports betting section & couldn't find MMA fights on there or anyother sports I knew much about. Then I noticed 'Skiing'! (I used to be an avid ski racing fan many, many years ago). There was a race the following day > Women's Slalom.
30minutes of research on Women's skiing & I decided to place a bet on 'Marlies Schild' a 21.0 to 1 bet... a bit of a longshot.
And... I won it!! LOL. Over 400 euros won on a site I had no intentions of ever playing on again!
Put in for my withdrawal & it went through in less than 48hrs.
MyBet has also helped me to get on a bit of a roll... I won a 'Free $8 bet' from a deposit bonus game on another iPoker site & once again bet on Skiing (Men's Downhill that ran earlier today). Put the $8 on Erik Guay at 14.0 to 1 & I WON!!! Another $112.00 brings it to over $700. Think I'm going to buy myself a Christmas present today.
Have you setup your "INSTADEBIT" account yet?Thanks JJ, that covers all the sites I'll be playing on.
