Skrill: an e-wallet between your bank and the casino

Skrill is an e-wallet: you load money into it from your bank or card, and then pay the casino from the wallet instead of sharing card details. Withdrawals usually return to the same wallet. This page explains how deposits and withdrawals work with Skrill, the bonus exclusions some operators apply, and the fees to watch. Available methods and limits depend on your account and country — confirm in the cashier.

Depositing with Skrill

  1. Make sure your Skrill wallet is verified and in your own name.
  2. In the casino cashier, choose Skrill and enter the amount.
  3. Log in to the wallet in the window that opens and approve the payment.
  4. Check that the balance appears in the casino account.

Withdrawing to Skrill

If you deposited with Skrill, the operator will usually pay withdrawals back to the same wallet, after its review and identity checks. From the wallet you can then move the money to your bank. Two layers mean two sets of rules: the casino's withdrawal terms and the wallet's own fees and limits.

Privacy and control

An e-wallet keeps your card details away from the casino, which some players value. It also adds a step that can help with budgeting: if you only load the wallet with what you plan to spend, the wallet itself becomes a soft limit. It is not a substitute for the deposit limits that licensed operators in many markets must offer, but it can complement them.

The licence question

A well-known e-wallet in the cashier does not tell you the casino is licensed. Look up the exact domain in your regulator's register before depositing. If it is not there, national self-exclusion does not cover it and there is no regulator in your market to turn to if a withdrawal to your wallet never arrives.

Skrill FAQ

Why do some bonuses exclude Skrill deposits?
Some operators exclude e-wallet deposits from bonus offers in their terms. Read the bonus terms before choosing Skrill if you intend to claim a promotion.
Does my Skrill account need to be in my name?
Yes. Operators usually require the wallet to belong to the casino account holder, and the wallet provider itself verifies identity.
Are there fees with Skrill?
The wallet provider may charge for loading money, currency conversion or withdrawing to your bank. Those fees are separate from anything the casino charges.
