Best Skrill (Moneybookers) Casinos

The Skrill e-wallet system has expanded its services in recent years to become one of the world's leading payment companies. In 2015 those expanded services paid off with a $1.1 billion acquisition by Paysafe Group Plc. Here you can find a summary of what to expect from the service.

Skrill Services

Skrill is a way of sending and receiving money online, including sign-up, purchases, deposits and withdrawals at online casinos. It works in several different ways:

• e-Wallet - connect with your bank account to send and receive money to online casinos and retailers without directly sharing your bank details
• Money Transfer - transfer cash or funds to other people, at home and abroad
• Prepaid Card - the Skrill Prepaid Mastercard works like a debit card. You just transfer money onto it from your bank account, and then use the card to make payments, or withdraw it from ATMs

Signing up for an account with Skrill is a breeze. All they ask is you provide the following personal information:
