CND payments guide with bank cards, a secure wallet, bank transfer document and payment security tools

In short: Skrill is an e-wallet owned by Paysafe that many online casinos accept for deposits and often for withdrawals. Availability, card-funding rules for gambling and fees depend on your country and account, and casinos still run their own verification before paying out.

We Do NOT Recommend Using This Payment Method. find out more

Skrill, formerly Moneybookers, is an e-wallet. The following information explains payment conditions and limitations; it does not change CND’s recommendation above.

Availability and gambling restrictions

Check the casino’s current cashier and the options available in your Skrill account. A method displayed in a comparison table may not be offered in your country or for your particular account.

Skrill’s card-funding rules for gambling distinguish gambling and non-gambling funds and include card- and country-specific restrictions. A wallet balance is not automatically eligible for gambling payments. Check these conditions before funding the wallet.

Registration and identity checks

Use accurate account information and complete any requested verification. Making a first deposit does not necessarily complete identity checks, and account creation does not guarantee that a casino will accept a payment. The operator can also require its own verification.

Fees and currency conversion

Consult Skrill’s official fee schedule, selecting your country and currency. Funding, withdrawals, transfers, currency conversion and account-service charges are separate items. Review the displayed charge before confirming and check any bank, card-issuer or casino fees.

A statement that a merchant payment is free should not be read as a promise that wallet funding and a later bank withdrawal are free. Likewise, VIP status does not waive every fee; the applicable account tier and transaction determine the conditions.

Casino payouts and wallet withdrawals

Confirm that the casino supports Skrill payouts, not just deposits. A withdrawal request may need operator approval and verification before it is sent. The casino’s review time is separate from the transfer time, so there is no universal instant-payout or two-day guarantee.

Once money reaches the wallet, moving it to a bank or another eligible destination is a separate withdrawal. Skrill’s withdrawal guidance explains that available options depend on country. Check the method, estimated time and charges shown in your account.

Privacy and security

Using an e-wallet does not make a payment anonymous or guarantee protection from every scam. Skrill collects and processes personal information and describes permitted disclosures in its privacy notice. Do not assume that only an email address is shared or that encrypted information can never be compromised.

Keep passwords and authentication codes private, use the official account interface, and report unfamiliar transactions. A casino’s withdrawal review is not a guarantee that the casino itself is trustworthy.

Cards, rewards and support

Prepaid-card eligibility, acceptance and charges are separate from wallet terms. Check the current rules for your country rather than assuming worldwide issuance or acceptance at every ATM.

Rewards and VIP programmes also have eligibility rules and exclusions. Check current terms before relying on a discount, reward or support benefit; do not increase gambling activity to earn one. For account help, use the support options shown on the official Skrill website.

No local casino listings: no eligible casinos are currently listed for this payment method in your country or state. Worldwide examples and alternatives are shown separately below.

Skrill deposits for slots, blackjack and roulette

Select Skrill in the casino cashier, authenticate through the wallet’s payment flow, and check the merchant, amount and currency. Do not send a personal transfer to someone claiming to represent a casino. Keep the payment reference so a delayed deposit can be traced before you try again.

Compare the cashier’s deposit minimum with the game’s stakes. Check blackjack and roulette bonus contributions and any slot exclusions before opting into an offer. Skrill changes the payment route, not the game’s probabilities or payout rules. A wallet or VIP card does not improve the odds.

Skrill at Playtech, NetEnt and Microgaming casinos

A casino carrying games from Playtech, NetEnt or Microgaming does not automatically support Skrill for your account. Check the operator’s cashier separately from its game catalogue. Use account details that meet the operator’s ownership checks, and confirm whether a Skrill deposit is excluded from a promotion before accepting it. The wallet-funding restrictions and withdrawal stages described above still apply; a software brand does not change them.

Skrill checks for UK players

For gambling in Great Britain, check the exact casino website and licence in the Gambling Commission register. Our UK guide explains the wider rules and the different position in Northern Ireland.

The British credit-card gambling ban also applies through electronic wallets. Do not assume that funds eligible for ordinary purchases can fund a casino payment. Use the funding options and restrictions shown for your account.

Select the UK and your currency when checking Skrill’s fee schedule; an old US schedule or euro-denominated card tariff is not a reliable UK quote. Keep three stages separate when comparing withdrawals: casino approval, transfer to Skrill, and any subsequent wallet-to-bank withdrawal. Prepaid-card terms and bonus eligibility require separate checks. This guidance does not change CND’s recommendation stated above.

FAQs

What Is Moneybookers?

It is now known as Skrill, and it still one of the most widely used electronic payment methods, especially in the iGaming world.

Are There any Geographical Restrictions?

Yes. Account availability and gambling-payment eligibility are subject to country, merchant and funding-method restrictions. A Skrill account does not give unrestricted access to gambling payments. See Skrill’s gambling-payment restrictions.

Are There any Fees?

There is no single 1% fee covering every Skrill transaction. Costs vary by country, payment route, account level and currency conversion. Check Skrill’s current fee guidance and your account’s displayed charges.

Is your Personal Info Safe?

Skrill processes personal information and may require identity checks. Its privacy notice describes permitted uses and disclosures, including sharing with service providers and authorities where applicable. Our former claim that no personal data is ever shared with third parties was incorrect.

What Is Their VIP account like?

Skrill VIP benefits depend on the current tier and terms. Do not assume all uploads, withdrawals or currency conversions are free. Check the fee shown in your account and Skrill’s fee guidance for the transaction you intend to make.

Why might a casino bonus exclude a Skrill deposit?

A promotion can limit eligible payment methods independently of the casino’s general deposit options. Check the specific bonus terms before opting in; a successful Skrill payment does not establish that it qualifies. Ask the operator to confirm unclear wording before committing funds.

Does a verified Skrill account replace casino verification?

Do not assume it does. The wallet and the casino maintain separate accounts and may request different ownership or identity checks. Read the operator’s verification requirements before depositing, and use its secure document-upload channel rather than sending sensitive information through an unsolicited message.

What if the Skrill payment window closes before confirmation?

Check the wallet transaction history and your casino balance before trying again. A missing confirmation screen does not establish that a payment failed. Save any transaction reference, amount and time, then ask the casino to trace a completed debit that has not appeared in its records.

What should I do if my Skrill account details change?

Update the payment account through its official service and tell the casino before requesting another transaction. Ask whether a changed email address, phone number or name requires an ownership check. Avoid creating a second casino account to work around an account-detail mismatch.

Is my Skrill balance the same as my casino balance?

No. Treat the payment account and the casino ledger as separate records. A withdrawal request in the casino is not proof that money has reached the payment account. Compare both transaction histories, and keep the reference for any debit or payout that needs to be traced.

    I have used Skrill for most of my online casino gaming over the last 6 years, other than the high exchange rates and service fees, I still think it's one of the handiest wallets to use for gaming online. I received withdrawal within seconds to Skrill. Never any issues , verification took 8 minutes to verify when asked.i would highly recommend Skrill to anyone that isn't using rev or bank cards for depositing into casinos

  2. k2sshu Link to comment

    With skrill it's fast and easy to deposit, and to withdraw maximum 24h but mostly in 1-2hours and i love it :)

  3. yoon_1034 Link to comment

    Skrill is a convenient e-wallet with fast deposits and relatively quick withdrawals. It is also useful for transferring money between different currencies and countries. However, the fees for withdrawals and currency conversion can be quite high. Availability also depends on the country and casino, which can be a major limitation for Korean users. Overall, it is useful when supported, but not always the most practical option.

  4. Ancha Ebersohn Link to comment

    Skrill is a wallet that is available for most online casinos for deposits and withdrawals and the fact that you can send money in different currencies and to different countries is nice, but the fee's connected to deposits and withdrawals makes it a bad option. It is also not available at every online casino and the fact that things take more than a day to be processed is also not ideal.

    skrill is the best for me ,im using it for every deposit and withdraw ,its fast trustful, very good experience

    Unfortunately Skrill is not currently accepted in most of the casinos who are accepted in Peru. In replace there are available crypto for deposits and withdrawals. Only Skrill is accepted for players who reside in Europa, however, this method was accepted some years ago on casinos that accepts payers from Perú.

  7. dinidu Link to comment

    Skrill is my go-to for casino deposits. The transfers are instant, and I don't have to share my card details with the site. However, be aware that Skrill users are often excluded from sign-up bonuses, and moving your money back to a bank account comes with hefty fees.

  8. Demian Lienert Link to comment

    Skrill works really well for casino payments in my experience. The wallet is easy to top up, deposits are instant, and withdrawals usually arrive within 24 hours. The fees can add up if you convert currencies, so I try to keep my Skrill balance in the same currency as the casino.

  9. Ivan4eg88 Link to comment

    I used to actively use Skrill back before I got into crypto.
    Then switched to Neteller since the latter supported physical cards in Ukraine at that time.
    Haven't touched it in years now though, because crypto is just way simpler and more convenient.

  10. Pibi Ryby Link to comment

    Skrill is a great alternative for depositing, if your credit card provider charges extra for gambling money transfers.(Like almost every bank in Slovakia does)
    There is a small fee when you deposit, but 50cents compared to the 7euros your bank would charge for using a card is a no brainer. Besides, the added benefit of your funds not being "tracked" by your bank when you send them away from Skrill is nice.
    But good luck when you have some kind of issue and your funds get locked. A friend won 20k and they locked his funds for "verification of legitimacy purposes" and it took almost 6 months until he actually got access to them!

    This website has a very good deposit and withdrawal process. They sometimes offer promotions to customers. I've been using it for a long time.

  12. BeGavin02 Link to comment

    Skrill is an easy and quick method to fund your account. These ewallets are usually quick and funds are Available almost instantly. Withdrawals are usually quicker using this method too as payouts are usually processed within 1 to 2 business days. Please be aware of the fees involved as they are usually high when transacting with your skrill wallet but sometimes promo offers and fee rebates are available. Definitely safe and a good option to fund your account.

  13. Luis Dias Link to comment

    I've been using Skrill for quite some time now and I must say it is absolutely awesome for anyone into online gaming. The transactions are incredibly fast, especially when it comes to withdrawals, which is always my main priority. It’s widely accepted across almost every casino listed here on LCB, making it super convenient to manage my bankroll in one place.
    The security features give me peace of mind, and the VIP program offers some great perks if you use it frequently

  14. Robinb014 Link to comment

    I’ve used Skrill for casino payments, and it’s been really convenient. Deposits are almost instant, which makes it easy to start playing right away. Withdrawals are usually processed fairly quickly too, though fees can add up depending on the casino. I like the added layer of "privacy" since I don’t have to share my bank details directly. I also have a physical card together with a digital card that is connected via Apple Pay. Overall, it’s a solid and reliable option. Combined with Neteller and your regular debit card (visa or mastercard) you can make withdrawals and deposits basicly everywhere.

  15. J Meili Link to comment

    Useful service, occasional monthly cashback on total transacted amounts - high withdrawal fees (especially to bank accounts, fees can also be double charged), high FX fees (4.99%), sometimes does not work as advertised

  16. wancho Link to comment

    I agree that Skrill is the best for payments in countries who haven't got restrictions, do for my country it is hard to use it in casino's but for allowed gamingsites the Skrill is still very reliable and chill

  17. nashek Link to comment

    Skrill always been good but recently some sites not allowing deposits for gambling purposes in my location and probably in other too even if you have real balance. It may be hard to figure it out as often support Has no idea what is the reason - I mean support at the website you want to deposit to.

  18. easy as Link to comment

    Have used skrill for years now, quick withdrawals to your wallet, and then can also withdraw it from their via crypto to a crypto buyer. Very safe a private ewallet, deposits are super quick, only issue is can only load 5visa cards to top up. Cool perks for being a VIP high level also.

  19. Gianuzzi Link to comment

    I have been using Skrill since when it called Moneybookers , and I haven't had any issue with them, they offer physical card and virtual card, which work perfectly, Easy to open and easy to close Skrill account,
    They offered crypto withdraw which was a good thing ,but they terminated this option from 2025 dec. 19, maybe they change their mind.Easy to send money to friends, you can top up your account with different deposit options.Overall Skrill is a reliable e-wallet, but crypto offer better fees.

    Excellent e-wallet and it is easy and fast to use. Deposits can be made instantly but whitdrawal takes time. More you use skrill the more reward you can get. I have used it several years but never got any reward. Skrill prepaid Mastercard is really good!

    Skrill Wallet is one of the most reliable and convenient online payment methods I’ve used. It’s fast, secure, and works perfectly for casino deposits and withdrawals. I love how easy it is to send and receive money worldwide with just a few clicks. The interface is simple, and transactions are completed instantly without any hassle. Skrill also offers great security features to keep my funds safe at all times. Whether for gaming, shopping, or transfers, Skrill Wallet makes every payment smooth and stress-free. Truly one of the best digital wallets out there!

  23. souljo Link to comment

    An excellent e-wallet for depositing your money to gaming sites in seconds. Just don't expect the same speed when cashing out to your bank, which takes a few business days. Support is a bit slow and relies heavily on automated systems, lacking a human touch for more complex queries. I do like that there are plenty of ways to fund your Skrill account though (card, bank transfer, etc.) and there's also the Skrill prepaid card, which lets you spend your balance directly.

  24. Kit Kat2938 Link to comment

    I reactivated my Skrill account for one simple purpose: to make a payment to a website that openly advertises Skrill as an accepted method. Despite that, my payment was rejected with a vague error message saying my balance could not be used.

    In order to even try, I had to pay nearly €6 in fees just to deposit and withdraw, plus extra charges to set up their so-called “virtual card.” That card never worked — even though I already had enough balance, Skrill still demanded another top-up to activate it, then failed entirely. Now I’m left with a tiny unusable balance trapped in my account unless I pay yet another withdrawal fee.

    On top of the money wasted, their “24/7 live support” is nothing but a bot that loops generic replies. When I raised a formal complaint, Skrill dismissed it out of hand without any attempt to acknowledge or resolve the problem.

    The end result: lost money, wasted time, no working payment, and arrogant, dismissive service. I’ll be reporting this to the FCA and the Financial Ombudsman Service, because no customer should be treated this way.

    Avoid Skrill at all costs.

  25. Adam Sa Link to comment

    Skrill is a well known e-wallet, it provides an additional layer of protection when using this method to deposit as you do not need to store your debit card details on the casinos site. The use of the site is easy although I view deposit and transaction fees as a negative.

  26. Миколаdff8 Link to comment

    I have been using this payment system since the time when it was called Moneybookers. I have not yet noticed any deception or fraud. Registration in the system is very simple.
    Advantages: Instant online transactions, the ability to attach a card and withdraw money. Support service, sometimes there are problems with access to the site

    Skrill wallet have a lot of payment methods to deposit to your account. Money moves instant to the casinos or to your Skrill account. When you withdraw from your Skrill account to the bank account it normally takes few days. They offer Skrill account bank card as well. Customer support slow and difficult.

  31. drgabber Link to comment

    Previously, I regularly used Skrill, and I was reaching VIP Silver every month, but they requested all sources of funds, which was practically impossible to provide, as I played in so many casinos, and my account in a lot of them was deactivated. So I took the L, and they suspended my account, which was really asd, but I got over it. What really annoyed me was that they did not deactivate the MasterCard on it, and they were sending emails on several occasions to add funds to my permanently suspended account to reissue the card, which was really amusing

  32. Damian3098 Link to comment

    Skrill has been my go-to e-wallet for a while now, and overall I’m really happy with it. It’s fast, reliable, and works with most casinos I play at. Deposits usually go through instantly, and withdrawals are smooth too – no unnecessary delays or weird issues.

    The interface is easy to use, both on desktop and mobile, and I like that they support multiple currencies. Plus, the security is solid – never had a problem there.

    The only reason I’m giving 4.5 instead of a full 5 stars is the Paysafecard deposit fee. It used to be lower, but now it’s a steep 5%, which feels a bit much compared to before. Other than that, Skrill is still one of the best options out there.

  33. marcos2012 Link to comment

    Skrill has always been a payment method on my list of favorites, I have always used it for deposits and quick payments, currently I rarely use it because other more interesting options have appeared, however Skrill has never stopped being an excellent payment method.

    Skrill is a best online payment platform known for its ease of use and anonymity. With Skrill, users can deposit funds quickly, often in real-time, making it a convenient choice for online transactions. The platform supports various payment methods, ensuring flexibility. Users appreciate the added privacy, as transactions do not require extensive personal information. However, fees can vary depending on the transaction type and currency. Overall, Skrill is a solid option for those seeking a fast and anonymous banking solution, especially in the realm of online gambling and e-commerce.And bonus boints system is just a bonus ;)

    Skrill and trustly are my best choice to do deposits and withdrawals and I am not very interested playing casinos with my money if they dont support these. I like skrill because it is fast and also have mastercard. These days there are possibility casinos pay fast if like and I really am not ready wait days or longer my withdrawals. Skrill has also good vip programme and more you spend you can redeem cash by points. Now there is free bet competiton to football to clients where can win point and you can change those to cash like vip programme. Highly recommend payment method to choose.

    the skrill payment method is the best it can be, fast and reliable, a large part of casinos in the world accept this method, which is a big advantage, although a small minus is that there are fees for transactions, but, for example, withdrawals from ATMs are free of charge in most countries world, so it's unmatched, I recommend everyone to try this payment method

    This payment method is unfair relatively fast for deposits and payouts but the problem is the charge is too high. I am more like with cryptos will not recommend this payment method to everyone even with my fellow fil players try crypto payment method instead not this one. With high charge when transferring money and cashing out. Not good

    Most likely the best way for depositing online. No fees for deposiit or withdrawal, usually it's very safe and their customer support is efficient and good. I Definitely recommend the use of Skrill when depositing at online casinos.

    Although skrill is accepted almost everywhere it is definitely not my first option or rather on one of the options I would probably rather not use I am not a fan of a. E wallet like this typically because I feel fess are way to high and there are just better and quicker options I would rather use personally.

  44. Mr. Mileena Link to comment

    Same as Neteller, i just give a little more points because the fees are less high. I usually use it as withdrawal only and transfer the money to my bank. I rarely use it to deposit on casinos, unless it is needed to make the withdrawal. I never had any issues with it, but the problem to me are the fees of course.

  45. KrystianKrzak507 Link to comment

    I have had this wallet for over ten twelve years. It is funded by paysafecard, payment card, bank transfer, your friend who has skril can also transfer internally, unfortunately they have recently introduced fees for this method and it used to be free of charge if I remember correctly. It may be that I am wrong. In general, I recommend it, it is one of the leading payment methods in casinos, withdrawal from them to the wallet takes a fraction of a second. The loyalty program is just a total failure, you need to have a mega BIG turnover on the wallet, to get the so-called credit in the form of free $ 10, you need to collect 10,000 points. 1 point is for a deposit of 1 dollar, for example. Calculate the percentage ratio of the bonus to the turnover yourself......

    Skrill no doubt it is best for my country Pakistan. Especially when entropay closed its services. We are blocked by our government to use debit/credit cards in casinos. So for us Skrill was an option to use it in casinos. I too use it many times but now when we top up our account there are 2 options gaming and non gaming. Pakistanis are only allowed to deposit non gaming option.
    That's why I requested my friends to send amount into my skrill account.
    Anyhow it's the best e-wallet for us.

    Skrill is a widely accepted and secure e-wallet in the current market. I became its loyal customer four years ago with no issues or complaints until now.

    Skrill used to be my number one e-wallet. But no more. Increased fees, forcing the currency of their choosing upon your account ( both merchant and personal ) , combined with pulling out the master card is speaking volumes of the changed biz climate over there.

    I consider Skrill the most dependable deposit method. The service is excellent every time and I'm not worried even if some kind of problem appears.

    A couple of months ago I tried to make a withdrawal with Skrill but without any success. Finally, after numerous attempts I got my money. The worst part of all was that when I contacted the call centres of Skrill, the operators were very rude to me. I don't think I will use Skrill again.
