From the reply we can see that on 29 January this year, the three-year old decree on the use of Lithuanian banks in foreign gambling companies came into force (Full law).There are several problems with the entry into force and enforcement of this law.
- the banks may have to explain why and where the transfers were attempted
- For those who have deposited money with companies by bank transfer, it may be more difficult to allow withdrawals using other means and to ask to take the money from where you want to take it to (e.g. Skrill).
Alternative ways to move money in poker
Alternatives include other banks within the EU that provide IBAN accounts, and the old and familiar Skrill Neteller e-wallets.
