Small update from today:

Dear Abc Xyz,

Thank you for contacting us.

We require this information due to the introduction of new regulatory requirements. We have therefore a number of new verifications based on the products that you use, or jurisdictions you transact from or to. We are trying to make the process of requesting these verifications as seamless and efficient as possible for you.

Skrill, as an FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) regulated non-banking financial institution, is obligated to complete this verification. In that regard please mind that the information you provide must be as complete and accurate as possible. Any information you provide us will only be used in accordance with the Data Protection Act of 1998.

Thus, we kindly ask you to complete, sign and send us the Source of Wealth form, attached in our previous email. Please be informed that completing this verification is mandatory in order to continue using our payment services.

Your understanding regarding this matter is highly appreciated.

Best Regards,
The Skrill Team

I'm going to proceed like I mentioned earlier. Taking some screenshots and fill out the form.

So I filled out the form and provided 2 screenshots of skrill transactions to different casinos and with an e-signature it was approved switfly.
So it's not that big of a deal after all.

There is actually a limit of $50,000 which you must not exceed for 60 consecutive days. If you drop below $50,000 during that time it's fine.

Outdated URL (Invalid)

That link comes up "fatal error access denied". Apart from this, no limit is shown on the account page, and this used to show when limits were applied. The only publicised limits easily found are for "unverified" accounts, where it's pretty low, something like $1000.

It would be worth checking with the regulations themselves, not just taking their word for it. Too many businesses quote "regulations" to justify intrusive data harvesting, and often they ask for more than these regulations actually require, or data that the customer isn't even allowed to legally disclose, such as the post where Will Hill asked a customer for bank statements of family members as well as his own.

This is the new EU-directive that should be inforce by mid-2017. It will affect all business including online casino. All casinos with EU licence need to preform EDD on customers spending or winning over €2000 within 24 hour period. So you might want to get used to these kind of forms, specially if you play casino online.

So you might want to get used to these kind of forms, specially if you play casino online.

In that case, it is not COMPULSORY until then, so for now this should be on a voluntary basis. What they ask for still has to be "necessary" for complying with this directive, and not used as an excuse to trawl for further data that will be used for "marketing" or sold to marketing firms, which is often why companies ask for far more data than they actually need for the purposes specified.

I am also surprised that this directive supposedly insists on such duplication for what is essentially the same money. Banks are the usual source for a players' funds, so if they have entered Skrill via a bank, the bank would have done all the checks, and if they entered Skrill via a casino, the money most likely was checked when other players deposited it, and the casino, having an EU license, is clearly trusted by the EU regulators to be a proper casino, rather than a front for laundering criminal proceeds.

Players will end up being asked to provide this intrusive level of information to numerous different organisations, and this risks killing the whole industry as honest players would see the hassle as far to intrusive and unnecessary given that you can walk into a land casino and play anonymously, a place where it would be even easier to launder cash.
