Skrill is a digital wallet (e-wallet) that lets people hold a balance, send and receive money, and pay merchants online without exposing their bank or card details to each site. For casino players it functions as an intermediary: you fund the Skrill wallet from a card or bank account, then move money to and from gambling sites using only your Skrill email address.
The service was founded in 2001 in the United Kingdom under the name Moneybookers, and rebranded to Skrill in 2011. It is operated by Skrill Limited, registered in England (Companies House number 04260907), with a registered office in London. Since 2015 Skrill has been owned by Paysafe, a multinational payments group listed on the New York Stock Exchange, which also owns the rival wallet NETELLER and the prepaid brand paysafecard. Because the same parent controls several gambling-adjacent payment brands, you may see Skrill, NETELLER and paysafecard offered side by side at the same casino cashier.
Skrill is not a bank and does not hold a banking licence. It operates under an electronic money (e-money) licence. Skrill Limited is authorised and regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority for the issuance of electronic money and the provision of payment services, under firm reference number 900001 (the FCA register is the authoritative source; see the regulator's Financial Services Register). Within the European Economic Area, Paysafe also operates Skrill through a regulated e-money entity so that the wallet can be offered across EEA member states.
The practical consequence of the e-money model matters for players. Money you hold in a Skrill wallet is not protected by the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) the way a bank deposit is. Instead it is safeguarded: under the e-money rules, customer funds are meant to be held separately from the company's own money so they can be returned to you. Skrill itself states that in the unlikely event of its insolvency you could still lose the electronic money held in your account, and that recovering safeguarded funds may take longer than a bank deposit would. We mention this not to alarm but because it is the single fact most casino guides leave out: an e-wallet balance is a holding account, not a savings account. Keep only what you need for play in it.
Separately, Paysafe has obtained crypto-asset authorisation in the EU, which lets Skrill offer regulated cryptocurrency buying and selling in some markets. That is a distinct service from the e-money wallet most casino players use, and it carries its own risks.
Skrill's appeal at casinos rests on three things: speed, the privacy buffer it puts between you and the operator, and the fact that many sites let you withdraw back to it. The trade-off is fees, which are easy to underestimate.
Depositing from your Skrill wallet to a casino is typically instant and, at the casino end, usually free. Funding the wallet itself is where charges begin: Skrill applies a fee on many deposits into the wallet (commonly around 1%, and higher for certain countries and funding methods). Always read the figure Skrill quotes on the confirmation screen before you confirm, because it varies by region and payment source.
Where Skrill earns its place in a casino review is withdrawals. A large share of casinos that accept Skrill also let you withdraw winnings back to it, and because the wallet receives funds quickly, the e-wallet leg of a payout is usually faster than a bank transfer. In practice the speed you experience depends mostly on the casino's own processing and verification time, not on Skrill. A site advertising fast payouts can still hold a withdrawal for hours or days while it runs KYC checks. For what those claims actually mean, see our explainer on what fast-payout casinos really mean. Moving money out of Skrill afterwards (for example to your bank) can carry its own charge, and a currency conversion fee applies whenever your wallet currency differs from the transaction currency. Inactive accounts may also be charged a monthly service fee after a period with no log-in or transaction.
Because you transact with a casino using a Skrill email rather than card or bank numbers, the operator never sees your underlying banking details. This is a genuine privacy benefit, but it is not anonymity: Skrill is a regulated firm that verifies identity, applies anti-money-laundering checks, and shares data with regulators where required. Skrill also offers a voluntary gambling block that customers can switch on to prevent their wallet from being used for betting, a tool worth knowing about if you are managing your own play; see our guide to responsible gambling.
Skrill is available across much of Europe and many other regions, but availability and the exact fee schedule differ by country, and it is not usable everywhere. Some jurisdictions restrict e-wallets for gambling, and casinos licensed in particular markets may not list Skrill at all. Unlike a country-specific method such as iDEAL (Netherlands only), Skrill is broadly international, but you should still confirm it is offered in your country and at your specific casino before relying on it. One recurring catch worth flagging: at many operators, deposits made with Skrill or NETELLER are excluded from welcome-bonus eligibility. That is the casino's rule, not Skrill's, but it surprises players regularly.
Skrill is one of the more widely accepted e-wallets in regulated online gambling, and many casinos support it for both deposits and withdrawals. Rather than publish a promotional list, BetVouch tracks which operators in our directory carry Skrill on their casino profiles. To see casinos that list Skrill as a payment method, browse our casino directory and check the payment information on each operator profile. We do not rank casinos by the payment methods they offer, and we earn no commission from Skrill or from any operator; our position on why that independence matters is set out in the affiliate problem in casino reviews.
The complaints we see most often involving Skrill at casinos fall into a few patterns. First, fee surprise: players treat the wallet as free and are caught out by deposit, withdrawal or currency-conversion charges. Reading the quoted fee at each step avoids most of this. Second, withdrawal method mismatch: many casinos require you to withdraw to the same method you deposited with, so if you deposited by Skrill you may have to withdraw to Skrill, and vice versa. Third, KYC and name-matching: the name on your Skrill account must match the name on your casino account, or a payout can be frozen pending verification. Fourth, bonus exclusion, noted above. Most of these are casino-side rules rather than faults of the wallet, which is why the dispute usually has to be resolved with the operator. If a casino is withholding a Skrill withdrawal without a clear reason, our guidance on how to handle casino complaints walks through the escalation steps, and our overview of casino licences explained helps you identify which regulator to approach. Where a held payout is tied to unmet bonus terms, our explainer on wagering requirements is the place to start.
Editor note (Marijan Karajanov, 11 June 2026). Skrill is a payment provider, not a casino, so it is not scored on our casino rating scale. We assess payment methods on regulation, fee transparency, payout reliability and player protection rather than on the six-criteria casino methodology. A fuller hands-on assessment of Skrill against those payment-method criteria, conducted under our Editorial Policy and informed by our methodology, is scheduled. Until then this profile carries no rating and shows Not yet rated. Fees and regional availability change; always confirm the current figures on Skrill's own site at the moment you transact.
