Betting Sites That Accept Skrill

Skrill is an e-wallet that has become extremely popular around the world with gamblers, thanks to its ability for quick money transfers and payments. 

There are Skrill betting sites in the US, as well as many other markets in addition to the UK.

Its initial popularity came from its ease of use at online bookmakers/casinos, with the ability to deposit and withdraw funds instantly, and usually as a quicker method than doing so through debit cards or bank transfers.

Thanks to Skrill partnering with bookmakers and with no third-party involvement, the service continued to improve and has ultimately become a regular payment option for players around the globe, even for those that don't have bank accounts.

With over 100 payment options to fund Skrill, it's still a very popular method of payment at online bookmakers to this day, despite strong competition in recent years from PayPal and Neteller.

New customers looking for bookmakers that accept Skrill as a payment method have over 50 options available, so let Bookies Bonuses do the hard work, by ranking our Top 7 bookmakers for Skrill users.

All bookmaker offers are subject to change. Please check T&Cs prior to signing.

⛔To take advantage of the sign-up offers mentioned, players must use an alternative payment method, as  Skrill is ineligible for deposit bonus offers across all bookmaker platforms at this time.

To put it simply, if you use Skrill when signing up for a new bookmaker, you will automatically be ineligible to qualify for any welcome bonus.

Ultimately, tighter regulation of the betting industry, means that any payment method must be verified in accordance with anti-money laundering rules and because Skrill is not linked directly to a bank account, like PayPal, it makes that verification process all the more difficult.

As Skrill is not accepted with welcome bonuses, use a debit card initially to qualify for the bonus

Prior to the rules being changed, it was a common practice among syndicates, to use e-wallets to claim these bonuses and potentially leave bookmakers out of pocket, whilst also opening up to inadvertently laundering money on criminals' behalf, which is why verification became the norm.

Unfortunately, this issue is something out of Skrill's control and only a change in their processes or a change in gambling laws will see this situation change.

If the welcome offer is important to you but you prefer Skrill, we suggest you make the first deposit with another payment method and thereafter use Skrill for your deposits. Just remember that if you make the first deposit with a debit card, your first withdrawal must be with a debit card.
