Skrill casinos, fast out the door

An offshore-side wallet in Ireland

Seven casinos on our Irish list accept Skrill. Two are long-standing Malta and UK-licensed brands; the other five hold Curaçao, Kahnawake or Estonian licences and also take Neteller, vouchers and crypto. The bookmaker brands that lead Irish lists mostly stick to cards and mobile wallets, so Skrill is more of an offshore-side method here. The offers on this page lean towards large match packages with wagering in the 35x to 50x range.

Other wallets sit beside Skrill at most of these casinos. MiFinity appears at three of the seven, Luxon Pay at three and Payz at two, one of them the Malta-licensed brand that tops this page. Whether they escape the same bonus exclusions as Skrill is a question for each casino’s terms, not something to assume.

The exclusion to know about first

The clearest case on this page is 888 Casino: its Irish welcome terms rule out deposits made with Skrill or Neteller. If you want that welcome match, pay the first deposit by card. Then think about the way back. Most casinos pay out to the method you deposited with first, so a card-funded bonus can mean your first withdrawal goes to the card, at card speed, before the wallet gets a look in. For the other six we have no confirmed exclusion, which is not the same as there being none, so read the payment line before you deposit.

Picking a Skrill casino from the seven

• The shortest chain: Videoslots processes withdrawals in about an hour, and Skrill usually moves money within hours of approval. Its welcome offer is the lightest here too, 35x the bonus over 7 days. Our payment data for Videoslots is low-confidence, so confirm Skrill in its cashier.
• Pay from your bank instead: Slotrave also lists Rapid Transfer, Skrill’s pay-from-your-bank option, and Ireland is on Skrill’s list of countries where it works. Treat its licence and payout facts as unconfirmed until you have seen them on its own site.
• Two weeks to play: TonyBet gives 14 days at 50x with a max bet and states 12-hour processing, though not every source we read agrees.
• Three lobbies, one operator: Rolling Slots, VegaZone and Wild Tokyo all belong to GBL Solutions N.V. and share one Curaçao licence number. Sign up at all three and you get three lobbies, but the same company handles every Skrill payout.

Where the score and the wallet agree

The casino that suits a Skrill user best also tops the LocoBonus score here. Videoslots has the lightest wagering of the seven, one of only two stated payout times and by far the faster of them, top-band licences from Malta and the UK, and some 9,000 games. TonyBet comes second on its 12-hour figure and a long cashier. 888 Casino sits third: its 40x offer and licences from Gibraltar, Malta and the UK would lift it higher, but our sources state no payout time for it, and the score gives no credit for a blank. Wild Tokyo is last: with your deposit counted into the wagering, the score treats its 50x as 100x.

Getting the most from an e-wallet

• Check the bonus first. E-wallet exclusions are common in welcome terms. Compare the terms on welcome bonuses before choosing how to pay.
• Keep the wallet in euro. Skrill’s currency conversion fee applies when your wallet and the casino use different currencies.
• Verify both ends. Skrill and the casino each run their own checks. Do both before you need a withdrawal.
• Pair it with a fast casino. The wallet is only as quick as the casino’s approval queue. See fast payout casinos for sites that process within a day.

What the wallet costs an Irish player

Skrill began in the UK in 2001 as Moneybookers and now sits in the Paysafe group with Neteller and Paysafecard. Paying a casino from the wallet is free; the costs sit at either end. Skrill’s fee table charges nothing to top up by bank transfer, up to 1.25% by card and up to 5% by Paysafecard. Moving money from the wallet to an Irish bank account costs 1.75%, and currency conversion 3.99%, which is why a euro wallet matters when every casino here deals in euro. Expect Skrill’s own checks as well: ID and proof of address, and sometimes proof of income or a selfie. Those sit on top of the casino’s own checks, which confirm among other things that you are 18 or over.

Skrill also works as the cash-out route for Paysafecard players, since vouchers cannot receive withdrawals.
