What is Skrill?
Last updated:
Skrill is a digital wallet focused on international payments and online gambling markets. It’s accepted at a large number of online casinos and supports fast deposits and withdrawals in multiple currencies.
How Skrill works for casino players
Open a Skrill account, fund it from your bank or card, then use Skrill to deposit at the casino. The transaction is nearly instant. Withdrawals from the casino back to Skrill typically take up to 24 hours. From Skrill you can transfer to your bank (1-3 days) or keep funds in the wallet for future use.
Skrill VIP program
Skrill has a tiered loyalty program for frequent users. Higher tiers reduce conversion fees and provide other benefits for high-volume users. Some casinos offer exclusive deposit bonuses or reduced wagering for Skrill users. Like other e-wallets, Skrill deposits are frequently excluded from standard welcome bonus offers. Skrill Knect is the cashback program that rewards transaction volume.
Ben Barber got into the gambling industry through the poker rooms of London in the early 2000s. After building up a solid grounding in casino, sports betting and poker, he made the move to Malta where he spent close to a decade writing for some of the biggest affiliate networks in the region. A few years ago he relocated to Bali, which shifted his focus toward website strategy and affiliate marketing. The casino side never really left, though. He still writes reviews, how-to guides and in-depth pieces on everything from slots and live dealer tables to crypto casinos and sweepstakes sites. His approach is fact-first: help players understand how online gambling actually works before they deposit a cent.
