I was going to tease Live Chat support with this problem today, because I'm an evil and mean person, but I've actually re-read http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_ ... Gaming_FAQ and decided to try the suggestion put there ("Note: If you believe you meet all requirements for access, but are still unable to enter a Skill Gaming Region, please try resubmitting your current billing information and re-logging into Second Life as a first step toward troubleshooting"). After going into Billing page ( https://accounts.secondlife.com/billing_information/ ), removing my PayPal (not with Change, but the Remove link) and re-adding it, then relogging both on SL webpage and inworld I was able to access Crunchy test region ( http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Crunchy/128/128/2 ). I wasn't able before, and I was getting the same "unable to access" message (I'm age verified, in annual premium account plan, and live in Eastern Europe - Poland).

So it seems, that "you can access skill gaming region" is not updated automatically or pulled from current billing information, but only when you add this info manually, when you re-register payment method. Worth to try?
