Hi Guys,
I'm using both systems for years, as they belong to the same company now they can be treated the same.
I know that they are generally safe, so far i only used them though pretty much to transfer in-and-out of casinos,merchants etc. and if i had money on Skrill i immediately transfered it to my bank etc.
But started to use the Prepaid Credit Card etc. i thought about using it more (= Having a few thousand $ on Skrill on some point).
Is there any risk that if i have quite some money on there always that something happens with Skrill? Don't know exactly how well Skrill is regulated and if there is any "protection" to my funds.
I'm not talking about being hacked (i already use 2-factor-authentication etc.) i'ts more a general question..... Example: Skrill drops out of a few countries. Will i be able to get all my funds if that happens? Or Skrill goes bankrupt. -> Would we all be fucked?
I know these are questions you can ask yourself with any real bank as well, but just interested in some opinions.
Cheers
