Skrill e-wallet for casino payments
Skrill is an e-wallet: an online account that holds money and pays merchants without sharing your card or bank details with them. It is widely used for gambling because deposits and withdrawals can be handled through the same wallet. This page explains how Skrill payments generally work at casinos and what to check. The set of methods and limits depend on the operator and your account — check the cashier.
How an e-wallet payment works
You first load money into your Skrill account from a card or bank account. In the casino cashier you choose Skrill, log in to the wallet in a secure window and approve the amount. The casino receives the money from the wallet, not from your bank. Withdrawals go back the same way, and from the wallet you transfer the funds to your bank when you choose.
Fees and currency
Skrill publishes its own fee schedule. Loading the wallet, withdrawing to a bank and converting currencies can each carry a cost, and fees on gambling transactions can differ from those on other payments. If your wallet currency, your casino account currency and your bank currency differ, the same money may be converted more than once. Check the wallet's current fees before choosing it, and keep currencies aligned where possible.
Bonus exclusions
Many casinos exclude e-wallet deposits from some or all bonuses, because e-wallets were historically used for bonus abuse. If you plan to accept an offer, read whether Skrill deposits qualify. If you do not want a bonus, this rule does not affect you. More on the subject in our bonus terms guide.
Verification on two sides
Skrill verifies your identity as a payment service, and the casino verifies you as a gambling customer. The names on both accounts must match. For proof of payment, casinos typically ask for a screenshot of your wallet page showing your name and email address. Some countries also restrict which gambling merchants Skrill serves; if a payment is refused, the wallet's support can explain why.
Pros and limits of using a wallet
- Your card and bank details are not shared with the casino.
- Deposits and withdrawals use one route, which keeps records in one place.
- On the other hand, money in a wallet can feel less "real" than money in a bank, which makes it easier to redeposit.
