Skrill is a fast e-wallet with a long history in gambling payments and quick payouts at the casino end.

The catch is promotional exclusion: welcome offers frequently rule out Skrill and Neteller deposits. Read the offer terms first if the bonus is the reason you are signing up.

Skrill's own fees can apply when you move money from your wallet to a bank account.

A real example of the bonus exclusion

At our last check, 888casino’s welcome offer excluded both Skrill and Neteller deposits. A £10 Skrill deposit would have been accepted and played, but it would not have unlocked the £10 bonus. The same deposit made by debit card, PayPal, Apple Pay or open banking would have.

Skrill, Neteller and paysafecard are all owned by the same company, Paysafe. Skrill remains a good choice for fast withdrawals once you are past the welcome offer, or if you are not taking a bonus at all.
