Moneybookers

The payments solutions provider Moneybookers provides the global market of online gambling, a real-time service available in a dozen languages - English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Dutch, Italian, Polish, Greek, Romanian, Russian and Turkish. All it requires of the account holder is an e-mail address, after the submission of which deposits and withdrawals are simple to do.

As part of a company overhaul, Moneybookers is changing its name to Skrill which is how it will be known in the future. This transition is also accompanied by a new look and improvements to their service such as easier ways to charge an account. It is anticipated that the Moneybookers brand will be dropped altogether by the summer 2012.
