About Skrill for casino deposits
Skrill is one of the longest-standing gambling-friendly e-wallets, owned by Paysafe (the same group as Neteller). The wallet is widely accepted across European and international online casinos and supports more than 40 currencies, which makes it useful for players depositing across currency boundaries without taking exchange-rate hits.
Skrill Knect, the wallet's loyalty programme, awards points for gambling transactions that convert into cashback - a small but real benefit if you're transacting at volume. The trade-off is that some UK operators exclude Skrill (and Neteller) deposits from welcome-bonus eligibility, on the grounds that wallets historically attracted bonus-abuse activity.
Withdrawals to Skrill are typically processed by the casino within 24-48 hours and settle to the wallet immediately on approval. From Skrill to a bank account or card, withdrawal speed depends on the chosen method (instant to card for a fee; 2-5 business days to bank for free).
