Skrill and Neteller End Separation of Gaming and Non-Gaming Funds

Skrill and Neteller have implemented a significant change in their policies, effective from October 12. The two popular payment systems have stopped separating funds in users' wallets into gaming and non-gaming categories. This change aims to provide more flexibility to users, particularly those in post-Soviet countries who have faced restrictions and additional commissions when transferring funds between different payment systems.

Previously, users had to transfer funds between their own wallets in different payment systems to bypass blocks imposed by Russian banks, which marked gaming funds as non-gaming. This process often involved paying additional commissions, making transactions less convenient. With the new policy, users can now use their funds more freely without worrying about these separations.

However, it is important to note that funds deposited via bank cards will still be marked as gaming/non-gaming until they are transferred to another wallet. Additionally, any funds deposited before October 12 will retain their previous markings. This means that while the new policy offers more flexibility, some restrictions may still apply depending on the method of deposit and the timing of the transaction.
