Skrill casinos with the wallet fees exposed

How Skrill works with a casino

Skrill started in the UK in 2001 as Moneybookers and is now owned by Paysafe, the group behind Neteller and Paysafecard. You fund the wallet, pay the casino from it, and withdrawals come back to the wallet, usually within hours of approval. The casino never sees your card or bank details. The wallet itself is regulated in the UK by the Financial Conduct Authority, which is separate from the casino’s own gaming licence.

Where the fees are

Skrill’s own fee page is clear on this. Paying a casino from the wallet costs nothing. Loading it by bank transfer is free, by card costs a small percentage, and by voucher costs more. Moving money out to your bank or card carries a fee, and so does currency conversion. After six months without activity, a monthly service fee starts. Hold the wallet in the currency you play in and fund it by bank to keep costs down.

Skrill also verifies you: ID, proof of address and sometimes more. That is on top of the casino’s own KYC; our withdrawal times guide shows how checks affect payout speed.

The percentages, from Canada

Skrill’s fee page puts card top-ups at up to 1.25% and Paysafecard top-ups at up to 5%. Cashing out costs 1.75% to a bank, with a minimum fee, or up to 3.99% to a card, and converting currency costs 3.99%. Skrill also warns that a credit card issuer may charge a cash-advance fee when you load the wallet for gambling. On Skrill’s own figures, the cheapest loop is a bank transfer in and a bank withdrawal out, where your account offers both, kept in the currency the casino pays.

Skrill’s sister wallets on this list

Paysafe also owns Neteller, which began in Canada in 1999. 12 of the 13 casinos here list both; CasinOK is the one with Skrill alone. Six casinos also take Paysafecard, the group’s prepaid voucher, but loading Skrill with it is the dearest route in. Our sources disagree on CasinOK’s cashier list, so confirm Skrill appears before you pick it for the wallet.

Choosing a Skrill casino here

• The most wallets to switch between: Lucky Ones lists seven e-wallets and 20Bet six, useful when a bonus excludes one of them.
• Strongest licence and lightest terms: LeoVegas, Malta-licensed, with 25x on the deposit. It states the slowest processing here, two days.
• Skrill as your main route: Lucky Days is the one casino here without Interac e-Transfer.
• Short clocks to avoid if you play slowly: Bitguruz gives its welcome offer one day and Spinjo three.
• Long-running brands: Jackpot City has run since 1998 and Casino Classic since 2000, though Casino Classic’s welcome asks 200x.

How the order is set

Skrill earns the same in the LocoBonus score at every casino here: it is one named method among many. LeoVegas leads on licence and terms, CasinOK follows on a 35x welcome and a stated one-hour payout, and Casino Classic is last. V.Vegas slips to ninth because it publishes no game count. Payout times for 10 of the 13 are low confidence in our sources, so the wallet’s quick leg can still sit behind a slow approval.

Before you load the wallet

• Verify Skrill early. It asks for ID and proof of address, sometimes proof of income or a selfie, and it can request more documents at random. Finish this before your first casino withdrawal lands.
• Pick the funding route on purpose. A card top-up costs a percentage, and a voucher top-up costs several times more.
• Mind the six-month rule. If you stop playing, move the balance out before the monthly inactivity fee starts.
• Check the bonus terms. Bonus details for LeoVegas, 20Bet and Bitguruz are low confidence in our sources, and an e-wallet exclusion would leave you with no bonus at all.

Bonuses and this list

Some casinos exclude e-wallet deposits from welcome bonuses, so read the eligible-methods line before you pay. The casinos here hold licences from Malta, Kahnawake, Curaçao and Anjouan, and most also take Interac e-Transfer if Skrill is excluded. Compare a phone-first wallet on MuchBetter casinos or every method on the payments hub. Offers are for players outside Ontario and Alberta.

You must be 19 or older for any offer here. Routing winnings through a wallet doesn’t change their tax status; our tax guide covers the Canadian rules. A wallet balance can feel separate from your bank account, which makes it easy to lose track; set a deposit limit at the casino and see our responsible gambling page for free provincial helplines.
