Skrill in casinos for players

Skrill is a popular internet wallet that has been operating on the online transfer market since 2001. Initially, it was known as Moneybookers. Since Skrill offers quite a lot of advantages for transactions with online casinos, it is very often chosen by players.

Skrill isn’t just an online purse, however. The range of services is much wider and includes transfers to e-mail, online payments, using a payment card and even the purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies. Thanks to this, Skrill has the potential to become the primary tool for managing home finances.

It is worth emphasizing at the outset that account registration and verification is required in Skrill. For this reason, Skrill cannot be considered a fully anonymous way to make online transactions. If you care about total privacy, further in this article you will find two tools that make it possible.

How to deposit and withdraw funds via Skrill at online casinos?

Payment via Skrill is very simple and no player should have any problems with it. Just go through a few quick steps and your money will be instantly deposited into your casino account.

1. Log in to your online casino - if you do not have a profile yet, you will find a guide on how to choose a casino in the next section
2. Go to the payment tab
3. Select Skrill from the available payment options
4. You will be taken to the Skrill login screen. Log in with your access data.
5. Enter the amount you want to transfer
6. Confirm the operation

That’s it - as you can see, transferring using Skrill is even easier than making a bank transfer. You don’t even have to provide the recipient’s details - all the details are in place. It shouldn’t take you more than two minutes. However, it is important to know that casinos usually set minimum Skrill transfer rates. Most often it is several dozen zlotys, so hardly anyone will be surprised when the transaction is rejected because the amount is too low.

The money transfer itself should be instant and within seconds the money should be available to play. In life, however, it is different and sometimes the player will see his funds only after a few or several minutes. It’s a natural situation that can happen, but if after an hour you still don’t see the money on your player profile please contact the casino customer service via online chat or email.

Withdrawing casino funds via Skrill is similar. The player enters the amount and then logs into their Skrill account to approve the operation (and thus provide the payee’s details). It is worth noting that casinos and bookmakers licensed by the Polish Ministry of Finance block the possibility of withdrawing money in this way. It is probably about the possibility of controlling by the State Treasury whether all taxes have been paid. Other virtual casinos, for example licensed from Malta or Curacao, usually offer both Skrill deposits and withdrawals.

Why is it worth using Skrill in casinos?

Skrill is a very popular payment method among players as it can be used at almost any online casino. It is very easy to use and payments are virtually instant. It is not without significance that payments in casinos are not charged with any commission neither by Skrill nor by casinos.

An additional advantage is the possibility of making a payment card, which can also be used in ATMs. Thanks to this, winnings can be transferred and withdrawn in cash very quickly.

Another advantage is the very good technical security of the portal, such as data encryption via SSL and secure information storage. The security of users’ data and money is a priority at Skrill, which is why the company’s systems undergo regular security audits.

On the other hand, it’s a good idea to consider Skrill as a tool for making payments quickly, but not necessarily as a place to store large amounts. It is better to keep financial surpluses, for example, in banks where they are guaranteed by the Bank Guarantee Fund. Skrill is for billing, not for saving.

Skrill, Neosurf, Ecopayz - what to choose?

The choice of online payment solutions is very rich. Their history is over 20 years old and new ones are still being created. Let’s take a look at three very popular payment methods at online casinos: Skrill, Neosurf and Ecopayz.

EcoPayz is an online purse, very similar to Skrill. In both cases, we get an online account, which we add via bank transfer, credit card or other means, and then use it for transactions at the casino. Both companies also allow users to obtain a payment card.

What speaks in favor of Skrill? Certainly fees that are significantly lower. A wider range of services, allowing for example the conversion of funds into bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies or micropayments in online games. On the other hand, there are times when Skrill deposits do not take part in the promotional campaigns, which can be a very frustrating and irreversible surprise.

Neosurf works a bit differently. For this method, you need to go to the point of sale and purchase a coupon code. This is similar to buying pre-paid phone top-up. We then rewrite the numbers from the card during online payment - without registering or entering your details anywhere. It is a less convenient solution, but it guarantees full anonymity.

Skrill and Ecopayz are very convenient solutions, fully internet based, but they do not guarantee anonymity. If you primarily care that you cannot be associated with the transaction, choose Neosurf and pay for the codes in cash.

How to choose a reliable casino with Skrill payment option?

If you want to play at an online casino and deposit with Skrill, but do not yet have a player profile, please read the following before registering.

First, check that the casino is operating legally. Pay attention to the licenses - ideally the casino should be licensed by our Ministry of Finance. Unfortunately, there are very few such casinos, so it is worth paying attention to those registered in Malta (MGA), in Great Britain (UK Gambling Comission) or in Curacao. If you do not find information about any license on the casino’s website, better let go and choose another option.

Then look for information on certificates of independent auditors. Names such as eCOGRA, TST Labs or GLI should attract your attention, as they confirm the high quality of technical security and the honesty of the games offered. They are not obligatory, but it is good if the online casino has at least one of them.

Brand opinion is another important factor to consider. It is worth reading about the casino itself, but also about the company behind it. On the web you will find websites (mainly in English) that provide information about casinos operated by individual entities. Check if these casinos are still running or maybe they disappear after some time under unclear circumstances? Of course, it’s not worth paying attention to the assurances on the company’s website - better look for independent reviews, groups and message boards. You can start on my website where you will find updated information on the best online casinos.

Next, check the promotional offers and the quality of the website and games offered. Welcome promotions are important, but then what? Make sure the casino continues to appreciate your activity, for example by rewarding each deposit on a certain day of the week. Look for established software vendors such as NetEnt, Play’N Go, Wazdan, and Microgaming. Thanks to this, you will get access to very good and, above all, fair games.
