Google Maps Javascript API v3 Error Message "Key is Disabled"

Question

I have generated a Google Maps Javascript API v3 key for my website treblecode.com, and have added www.treblecode.com to the list of referrers on my developer account. I've also tried .treblecode.com/ to no avail.

However, in attempting to create a test HTML page according to the Hello World guidelines at developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial#api_key, I receive the following error:

"Google has disabled use of the Maps API for this application. The provided key is not a valid Google API Key, or it is not authorized for the Google Maps Javascript API v3 on this site. If you are the owner of this application, you can learn about obtaining a valid key here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial#api_key"

Below is the code I currently have on my test page at http://www.treblecode.com/apis/quickmap.html:

  <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
      <head>
        <style type="text/css">
          html, body, #map-canvas { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0;}
        </style>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=REDACTED">
        </script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
          function initialize() {
            var mapOptions = {
              center: { lat: -34.397, lng: 150.644},
              zoom: 8
            };
            var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'), mapOptions);
          }
          google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
        </script>
      </head>
      <body>
    <div id="map-canvas"></div>
      </body>
    </html>

If it helps, my hosting provider is GoDaddy.

Any help would be appreciated here, as I'm not sure what else I need to do to properly work with that API.

Any updates you have to fix it?

EDIT 27 july 2016

So, I said this at a time, not long ago, when this was true. It is not true anymore. Websites that were working perfectly in may 2016, stopped working suddenly.

So please disregard the text you see below.

You don't need the key. Just load "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js"

The Emmanuel's answer is outdated.

From June 22nd, 2016. Google requires an api key for Google Maps

You have to go to Google Console and create a new project.
Credentials > Create credentials > API Key

I'm not sure, how it resolved but I did the below steps, it worked.

Go to https://console.developers.google.com/project/
Created a new project and named it
Go to "APIs & Auth" --> Push menu and add your domain name
