Guide to Depositing and Withdrawing with Skrill
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 real money online casinos. It works in several different ways. The eWallet connects with your bank account to send and receive money to top US casino sites and retailers without directly sharing your bank details. Money transfers move cash or funds to other people, at home and abroad. The Skrill Prepaid MasterCard (a project in conjunction with 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 withdraws.
How Do I Sign Up with Skrill?
Signing up for an account with Skrill is a breeze. All they ask is you provide the following personal information:
- Email Address
- Password
- Name
- Date of Birth
- Billing Address
- Card and Account Info
- Proof of Identify
