I'm not a PEP and I have a Skrill account.
I can't use it for gaming purposes, since I'm in Canada, but I presume I could use it for other things.

I think that the form is so that Skrill is aware of which account holders may require additional security.
(just a guess, though)

All the best,
VS

Indeed, PEP are often subject to additional anti-money-laundering checks as a precautionary measure against (not an accusation of) the laundering of bribes through gambling operators.
