What the FSA seal buys you

A FSA-regulated kitchen has to keep client money in its own segregated pot, offer negative balance protection, and open its books to independent audits. If something goes wrong, you can take your complaint straight to FSA.

What the FSA seal puts on your plate

  • Your money kept in a segregated pot, walled off from Skilling's own capital
  • Negative balance protection, so you can never lose more than you put on the table
  • A direct line to FSA for complaints if Skilling will not put things right
  • Regular independent audits of Skilling's books under FSA oversight
