I registered in Puncbets casino and make small deposit there via Skrill.
After I played with my deposit, I cheked e-mail and found following message from Skrill:


"Dear FirstName/LastName,

You made a payment of EUR 30.00 from your Skrill account to HighWeb Ventures N.V..
You have also authorised HighWeb Ventures N.V. for future Skrill 1-Tap payments from your Skrill account for amounts up to 100000000.
Please note that in order to complete Skrill 1-Tap payments to HighWeb Ventures N.V. you must have sufficient balance in your Skrill account. We cannot automatically charge your credit/debit card or bank account to cover these payments.
Please login to your Skrill account and select ‘Upload’ to add funds.
If you wish to cancel this Skrill 1-Tap authorisation, you can do so at any time in the ‘All Transactions’ section of your Skrill account by clicking 'Stop Recurring' next to your most recent 1-Tap transaction with this merchant."

That means, somehow, these deposits could be regularly done from my Skrill account, and I even could not know about that. Good job, that I usually check all mails from Skrill and all my accounts. I cancelled this recurring payment and closed my account in this casino. I also set limitation to my Credit Card, linked to Skrill, so now it cannot be used in Internet and in any other countries, except my home country (Finland).

In any case, I did not authorize such regular withdrawal apparently. How this can be treated?

Thank God for that!!!! Why have such "insane" default upper limits though. Do they seriously think the average player will have a rant at CS because they tried to deposit 9999999 by one click and were insulted to find it was too large an amount to be authorised this way.

It seems rather like our contactless card payments, but here a more sensible limit of £30 has been applied, any more and it's back to inserting the card and entering the PIN.

The other issue is that this authorisation has been made by default, rather than asking the player specifically whether they would like to opt in to 1-click for future deposits, or would prefer the higher level of security afforded by having to deposit each time with full verification.
