Account closure to ensure account security

The NETELLER and Skrill security team are monitoring accounts to see if any unusual activity is happening. To avoid any further damage the team usually will temporarily disable those accounts to first check if there is any real security breach.

The following list show the most common issues that can lead to a temporary account closure:

  1. Using a VPN, proxy service or anonymizer.
  2. Logging in from a non-serviced Skrill country or non-serviced NETELLER country.
  3. Entering the wrong password, security code or two-step authentication code multiple times (if this function is active).
  4. Strange activity in your account – like unusal amounts or number of transactions.

Please note, there can be more reasons for an account closing, but those are the most common ones which easily can be avoided.

Skrill / NETELLER website does not open – is my account blocked?

skrill supportSometimes it can happen that you cannot access the Skrill website or NETELLER website anymore. This is never related to a blocked account and almost always is an issue with your IP address. If you have tried to access the websites too often in a short period of time they block your IP address for a few hours. This is a simple and standard protection against other security issues like DDOS attacks.

So, this is nothing to worry about. Real account issues are communicated through email. Please make sure to check the following in such cases:

  • Due you still have internet access?
  • Are any other sites affected as well?

If not, then it is safe to say that you just need to wait a while to get access again. Usually the block will go away automatically within 24 hours and you can start using NETELLER and Skrill again. If that does not help please, contact support and describe your problem, so that their technical team can look into this for you.

Please also note that we always inform our customers about important news and restrictions for certain countries. Follow our news on the eWO website, Facebook and Telegram to always get the latest news and not miss any changes.

neteller, blocking our account delays us to work properly, if your servers are not working properly its better you do not receive money and advise us to verifiy our account instead of you receiving money and later on blocking as i you are scammers…. be serious this isnt a game we work online and you are holding our money… please work your system
