The public event log of the directory kycnot.me recorded on 24 July 2026 that SMSPool said it could no longer accept Monero directly, citing the EU's MiCA and incoming anti-money-laundering requirements, and that Monero remained available through its official resellers. The official site could not be read during this review because of an anti-bot challenge, so the current list of accepted payment methods was not confirmed first-hand.
Common reasons are a held transaction, a change in terms, missing coins or payment methods, or simply wanting a second option. SMSPool currently has 1 incident on record.
