That is not enough to treat Skrill as a way to pay these casinos. Don’t load your Skrill wallet in advance for them: check the casino first, in the order under Before you load Skrill.
How you load Skrill also decides whether the money can reach a casino at all. Skrill bars Australian credit cards from gambling, and money loaded by Mastercard for gambling can go only to sites on Skrill’s list. On 27 October 2026 none of the 17 casinos was on that list (Skrill’s rules).
Which Skrill money can reach a casino: it depends on how you load it
Skrill is a UK e-wallet: an online account you load with money and then use to pay merchants. A merchant is any business you pay through Skrill, such as a casino. Skrill decides which merchants your money can reach by two things: how you loaded it, and whether you marked it for gambling.
The mark works like this. Each time you load the wallet, Skrill asks whether the money is for gambling. Money marked “No” can never go to a casino, and the mark cannot be changed later.
Skrill’s rules, in its own words (support answer 115, read 27 October 2026)
- The gambling mark. “Every time you make a deposit, we will ask whether you would like to use your deposit for gambling, i.e. betting, casino sites, poker tournaments, etc. If you do, select “Yes”.” And: “Once funds are deposited into your Skrill balance, their purpose of use cannot be changed, and you will not be able to use them on gambling websites.”
- Visa. “Funds deposited with Visa® for gambling purposes can be used for all transaction types and there are no exclusions on their usage.” “Money deposited for non-gambling purposes can be used for anything but paying to gambling merchants online.”
- Mastercard. “Funds, deposited with Mastercard® for gambling purposes can be used for most transaction types, including transfers to selected gambling merchants from this list. Such funds cannot be used for withdrawals to Neteller and to a crypto wallet, for paying non-gambling merchants, or gambling merchants that are not on the list.” “Money deposited for non-gambling purposes cannot be used for merchant transfers of any type.”
- Credit cards. “Money deposited with a credit card can’t be used on UK or Australian gambling sites.” And, for the United Kingdom, Sweden, Belgium and Australia: “Credit cards issued in these countries cannot be used for gambling transactions anywhere in the world.”
The “list” in the Mastercard rule is a Skrill page of website addresses. On 27 October 2026 it held 374 addresses and carried no date. We compared it with the site addresses we hold for the 17 casinos below and with their brand names: none of them was on it. The list may change, so check it before you load by Mastercard.
| How you load Skrill | What Skrill’s help page says | What it means for the 17 casinos below |
|---|---|---|
| An Australian credit card, Visa or Mastercard | Can’t be used for gambling anywhere | This money cannot pay any of them |
| Mastercard, marked “Yes” for gambling | Only gambling sites on Skrill’s list; not to Neteller or a crypto wallet | None was on the list on 27 October 2026, so by Skrill’s rule this money cannot pay them |
| Visa, marked “Yes” for gambling | “there are no exclusions on their usage” | Skrill’s rule does not stop the payment; whether the casino takes Skrill is not confirmed |
| Any card, marked “No” | Never to a gambling merchant; the mark can’t be changed | This money cannot pay a casino |
| Bank transfer, Paysafecard or another method | The help page doesn’t say | Unknown: ask Skrill before you load |
Skrill’s help page sets these rules for Visa and Mastercard deposits and bans Australian credit cards separately. It does not mention debit cards, so applying the Visa and Mastercard rules to an Australian debit card is our reading. These are Skrill’s rules, not Australian law, and the page gives no reason for them. We also don’t know how Skrill marks money that a casino pays into your wallet.
Before you load Skrill: check these first
Do every check below before you put any money into Skrill. If one fails, don’t load Skrill for that casino. Money you load before checking may not be usable at that casino, and moving it back to your bank costs 3%, at least €3.50 (fees).
- Find the casino in the table of casinos. If the casino says Skrill is not available to Australians, or refused sign-up from Australia, stop here. If the casino is not in the table, we have no data on it: do checks 2–7 yourself.
- Sign up or sign in without depositing, and open the cashier. Look for Skrill for both deposits and withdrawals, in Australian dollars.
- Read the casino’s withdrawal rules: check whether it requires you to withdraw by the method you used to deposit.
- Read the bonus terms for a Skrill or Neteller exclusion before you claim a welcome bonus (bonuses).
- Decide how you will load Skrill. Not an Australian credit card. Not Mastercard, unless the casino is on Skrill’s list; none of our 17 was on 27 October 2026. With Visa, answer “Yes” to gambling. For a bank transfer or another method, ask Skrill first (Skrill’s rules).
- Add up the costs both ways: the currencies of your wallet and of the casino, and 3% to move money back to your bank (fees).
- Plan the way out: Skrill pays only to a personal bank account in your own name.
If every check passes, load only the amount you plan to deposit, and mark it “Yes” for gambling. Passing the checks still does not guarantee that Skrill will work at that casino.
If you can’t confirm a check, don’t load Skrill for this casino. That includes these cases: Skrill is missing from the cashier after sign-in, it shows for deposits but not withdrawals, the casino is not on Skrill’s list and you can load only by Mastercard, or the casino doesn’t answer. Pay with a method its cashier does show. Other methods have their own pages: Neteller, which the same four casinos exclude from the welcome bonus, ecoPayz and PayID.
Casinos that mention Skrill: what is confirmed for an Australian player
At none of the 17 casinos is Skrill confirmed to work for an Australian player. The table shows why each casino is listed and what we saw there.
These are three different levels of proof. A casino’s own page or logo is the operator’s statement. The signed-out cashier, the payment list a casino shows before you sign in, is what we observed. The cashier after sign-in is the one you would actually use, and we saw it at no casino.
Two things are the same for all 17, so they have no column: we saw no cashier after sign-in, and none was on Skrill’s Mastercard list on 27 October 2026. Dates in the table are when we read each page. Casino ratings are on each review, not here: this table is about Skrill only.
| What is confirmed for an Australian player | Casino | What we saw, and when | Welcome bonus with a Skrill deposit (terms read 24 Oct 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|
| A Skrill-like entry in the signed-out AUD cashier, for deposits only; not confirmed after sign-in | Slotsmines | Signed-out AUD cashier, 22 Oct: a deposit entry coded “skrillqco”, A$30–A$6,000, commission listed as 0; no Skrill withdrawal entry. “skrillqco” is the cashier’s own code; we could not confirm it is the Skrill wallet. Its payment pages were not read for this check | No Skrill exclusion found; bonus not confirmed |
| The casino names Skrill on its own pages; not in its signed-out AUD cashier on 22 Oct | 7bit | Payments page: Skrill, “eWallet”, fee “2.5%”, “Min / 2 AUD / Max / 8000 AUD”, deposit and withdrawal (12 Oct); “E-wallets like Skrill or Neosurf” (24 Oct) | No Skrill exclusion found; bonus not confirmed |
| The casino names Skrill on its own pages; not in its signed-out AUD cashier on 22 Oct | RocketPlay | Homepage names Skrill (24 Oct); payments page, in euros: Skrill from €20 to €4,000, labelled instant (12 and 16 Oct) | No Skrill exclusion found; bonus not confirmed |
| The casino names Skrill on its own pages; not in its signed-out AUD cashier on 22 Oct | Wild Fortune | Homepage: “Skrill, Neteller, MiFinity” (24 Oct) | No Skrill exclusion found; bonus not confirmed |
| The casino names Skrill on its own pages; not in its signed-out AUD cashier on 22 Oct | Crusino | “Skrill, Neteller, EcoPayZ, MiFinity and Sticpay” (24 Oct) | No Skrill exclusion found; bonus not confirmed |
| The casino names Skrill on its own pages; not in its signed-out AUD cashier on 22 Oct | Mirax | Payments page lists Skrill, with a “2,5%” fee on Skrill deposits (12 Oct) | No Skrill exclusion found; bonus not confirmed |
| The casino names Skrill on its own pages; not in its signed-out AUD cashier on 22 Oct | FastPay | Payments table: Skrill deposit “Free”, “Instant”, minimum “10 EUR/ USD/ 15 AUD/ NZD/ CAD”; withdrawal “0-2 hours”, “Max. 5000 EUR/USD” (11 Oct) | No Skrill exclusion found; bonus not confirmed |
| The casino names Skrill on its own pages; we did not read its cashier | Vegastars | Homepage: “SKRILL • VISA • NETELLER • APPLE PAY • G PAY • MASTERCARD • REVOLUT” (24 Oct); a homepage table puts Skrill and Neteller at 1 to 3 hours (12 Oct) | No Skrill exclusion found; bonus not confirmed |
| The casino names Skrill on its own pages; we did not read its cashier | Lucky Green | Payments table: Skrill “Instant”, “Usually instant, but can take up to 7 days” (16 Oct) | No Skrill exclusion found; bonus not confirmed |
| The casino names Skrill on its own pages; we did not read its cashier | Clubhouse | Payments page lists Skrill in a table that is not specific to Australia, and says “Payment methods are country specific.” (12 and 16 Oct) | No Skrill exclusion found; bonus not confirmed |
| The casino names Skrill on its own pages; we did not read its cashier | Vodds | Payment policy: “E-wallets (Payz, Skrill, Neteller, Jeton): These platforms offer speedy, hassle-free transactions.” Accounts are in USD, EUR, GBP or CNY, not AUD (24 Oct) | No Skrill exclusion found; bonus not confirmed |
| The casino names Skrill, but refused sign-up from Australia on 23 Oct | Wolf Winner | Banking page: Skrill “Yes”, “Instant”, for deposits and withdrawals (23 Oct). Signing up from Australia the same day showed “Unfortunately, players from your region are currently not accepted.” | No Skrill exclusion found; bonus not confirmed |
| The casino says Skrill is not available to Australian players | Stay Casino | “Most of the usual casino payment methods like Paysafecard, Skrill, and Neteller are not available for Australian players.” (16 Oct); no Skrill in its signed-out AUD cashier (22 Oct) | No Skrill exclusion found; bonus not confirmed |
| Skrill is named only in a welcome-bonus exclusion; not in the signed-out AUD cashier on 22 Oct | 21bit | Bonus terms name Skrill in a bonus exclusion (24 Oct) | Excluded |
| Skrill is named only in a welcome-bonus exclusion; not in the signed-out AUD cashier on 22 Oct | SkyCrown | Bonus terms name Skrill in a bonus exclusion (24 Oct) | Excluded |
| Skrill is named only in a welcome-bonus exclusion; not in the signed-out AUD cashier on 22 Oct | Spin Samurai | Bonus terms name Skrill in a bonus exclusion (24 Oct) | Excluded |
| Skrill is named only in a welcome-bonus exclusion; we did not read its cashier | Casino Rocket | Bonus terms name Skrill in a bonus exclusion (24 Oct) | Excluded |
The other 41 of the 42 Australian-dollar cashiers we read signed out on 22 October showed no Skrill entry. That means not found before sign-in, not absent. We did not read the cashiers of the other 54 casinos we review. Casino pages change: rows read on 11–16 October are more than a week old.
Skrill and welcome bonuses
Four of the 96 casinos we review exclude Skrill deposits from their welcome bonus, in bonus terms read on 24 October 2026. All four exclude Neteller in the same sentence.
A welcome bonus is the offer on your first deposit, or on your first few. SkyCrown’s rule covers every one of them: “This restriction applies to all Welcome Deposit Bonuses (First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth if it’s applied for certain regions).”
- 21bit: “Welcome bonuses are not available if Skrill or Neteller were used as payment methods while depositing.”
- Spin Samurai: “Welcome deposit bonuses are not available if Skrill or Neteller were used as payment methods while depositing.”
- Casino Rocket: “Players depositing with Skrill or Neteller won’t be allowed to claim welcome bonuses.”
- SkyCrown: “Players depositing with Skrill and Neteller won’t be allowed to claim welcome bonuses.”
21bit, Casino Rocket and SkyCrown add: “Future bonuses can be claimed using these payment methods.” That allows later bonuses; it does not promise one.
In the other 92 casinos’ terms we found no such exclusion. That is not a promise of a bonus, and terms change. Wild Tokyo (terms read 24 October) and Rolling Slots (terms read 12 October) exclude Skrill and Neteller deposits only for players registered in Ireland and Croatia. At 21bit, SkyCrown and Spin Samurai the exclusion matters only if Skrill appears after sign-in: their signed-out cashiers did not show it.
Skrill fees: what each stage costs
The main Skrill costs are 3% to move money to your bank and 4.49% when a currency is converted. Some stages have no Skrill fee listed, which is not the same as free. The figures come from Skrill’s fees page for Australia, read on 25 October 2026; its fixed amounts are in euros.
The percentage fee. A withdrawal from Skrill to your bank costs 3% of the amount. For illustration, assuming your Skrill wallet and your bank account are both in AUD: a A$500 withdrawal costs A$15.
The minimum fee. The 3% has a minimum of €3.50, which applies on withdrawals worth less than about €116.67. For illustration: on a withdrawal worth €50 you pay €3.50, which is 7% of the amount (our calculation). Skrill converts the euro minimum into your wallet’s currency at its own rate, so we give no fixed A$ figure.
The conversion fee. A conversion happens when a payment is in a different currency from your wallet, for example an AUD wallet paying a casino that takes euros. Skrill then uses its own exchange rate plus “a foreign exchange fee of 4.49%”. Its terms do not say directly who pays this fee on a payment to a merchant. If the conversion falls on you, converting A$100 costs A$4.49 in fee, for illustration, plus any gap between Skrill’s rate and the market rate.
| Stage of the money’s path | Who may charge, and what the published pages say |
|---|---|
| 1. Loading your Skrill wallet | Skrill: “Global payment methods fee: 0.00 %” for Visa, Mastercard, Diners and JCB; local methods such as Paysafecard “Up to 5.00 %”; 4.49% if you load in another currency. Your card issuer “may charge a ‘cash advance' fee” on a credit card, though an Australian credit card cannot fund gambling at all |
| 2. Skrill to the casino (your deposit) | Skrill: a fee for paying a merchant is not listed on its fees page; 4.49% if a conversion falls on you. Casino: Slotsmines’ signed-out cashier listed commission 0 (22 Oct); 7bit’s payments page shows a “2.5%” fee and Mirax’s a “2,5%” fee on Skrill deposits (12 Oct) |
| 3. The casino to Skrill (your payout) | Skrill: a fee for receiving money from a merchant is not listed on its fees page. Casino: we did not check; look in its cashier and terms |
| 4. Skrill to your bank | Skrill: 3%, minimum €3.50; 4.49% if your wallet is not in AUD. Your bank: Skrill says “your bank may apply additional currency exchange fees” |
| Wallet left unused | Skrill: €5 a month, unless you log in or make a transaction at least once every 6 months |
Skrill does not promise every Australian resident an AUD wallet; check the currency when you register. Withdrawals go only to a personal bank account. Skrill’s list of unsupported banks has no Australian bank, but Skrill calls the list “not conclusive”.
How long a Skrill payout takes: two stages
A payout has two stages: the casino pays your Skrill wallet, then Skrill pays your bank. Only the second stage has a time that Skrill itself states.
Stage one, casino to Skrill. The times we found are labels: text on a casino’s payments page, not a rule in its terms. FastPay prints “0-2 hours” beside limits in euros and US dollars (11 October). A Vegastars homepage table puts Skrill and Neteller at 1 to 3 hours (12 October), Lucky Green “Usually instant, but can take up to 7 days” (16 October), Wolf Winner “Instant” (23 October). We found no Skrill payout time in the terms we read for these casinos, and we made no withdrawal.
Stage two, Skrill to your bank. Skrill’s support says bank transfers take “from less than 1 day up to 5 business days”, and Visa or Mastercard withdrawals “up to 3 business days”. Skrill also says: “Once initiated, you cannot cancel a bank withdrawal.”
The casino side, from a pending request to approval, is explained on Withdrawal times, with the stages of a payout.
Is it legal? Three separate questions
The answer is different for the casino, for Skrill and for you. On this page an offshore casino means one that is not licensed in Australia.
The casino
ACMA says: “The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 makes it illegal for gambling providers to offer some online services to people in Australia.” Its list of banned services includes online casinos. The offence in section 15 of the Act is the provider’s: “A person commits an offence if: (a) the person intentionally provides a prohibited interactive gambling service”, with an Australian-customer link.
Skrill’s licence does not change that. Skrill Limited is registered in England and Wales and “authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) under the Electronic Money Regulations 2011 for the issuance of electronic money.” That covers Skrill issuing e-money; it does not license the casinos you pay.
Skrill
We found no rule in Skrill’s terms of use that bars Australian residents as a whole. The terms say you may open an account “if it is legal to do so in your country of residence.” Clause 11.2 adds: “It is strictly forbidden to make payments to or to receive payments from persons or entities offering illegal gambling services”, and “it is your responsibility to ensure that you do not use our services for transactions that may be considered illegal in your jurisdiction.” The terms do not say whether Skrill treats a casino banned for Australians as an illegal gambling service, and we do not interpret them.
Two Australian rules are easy to mix up with Skrill’s. The Australian Government says “Online wagering service providers are banned from accepting credit cards”, a ban that began on 11 June 2024; it covers licensed betting providers, not Skrill. From 1 January 2027 a new law requires banks and payment-system participants in Australia to prevent payments for a designated interactive gambling service “so far as it is reasonably practicable”. We do not say whether that reaches Skrill.
You, the player
The Interactive Gambling Act does not make playing an offence: a 2011 federal review paper says so, and we found no player offence in the current Act. We did not check state and territory laws, and this is not legal advice. ACMA’s 2020–21 report warned that “Consumers who access these websites have little or no recourse if they experience poor player treatment or their winnings have been withheld.” Our guide to the law covers the Act and the 2027 change.
FAQ
Can you use Skrill in Australia for online casinos?
We could not confirm it at any of the 17 casinos we review that mention Skrill: we saw no cashier after sign-in. Skrill bars Australian credit cards from gambling and limits money loaded by Mastercard for gambling to sites on its list, so check the casino before you load the wallet.
Can I pay a casino with Skrill money I loaded by Mastercard?
Only if you marked the money for gambling and the casino is on Skrill’s list of sites for Mastercard money. On 27 October 2026 none of the 17 casinos we review that mention Skrill was on that list.
Which casinos accept Skrill?
We could not confirm Skrill in any signed-in cashier. On 22 October 2026 Slotsmines’ signed-out AUD cashier had a deposit entry coded “skrillqco”; 11 other casinos we review name Skrill on their own pages, which is their statement, not a check.
Do Skrill deposits get the welcome bonus?
Not at 21bit, Casino Rocket, SkyCrown or Spin Samurai: their bonus terms, read on 24 October 2026, exclude Skrill and Neteller deposits from welcome bonuses. In the other 92 casinos’ terms we found no such exclusion, which is not a promise of a bonus.
Can I transfer Skrill money to my bank account, and what does it cost?
Yes, if Skrill offers it to you: by Skrill’s rules only to a personal bank account in your own name, and Skrill says to check in the Withdraw section of your account whether the option is available to you. Skrill lists a fee of 3% with a minimum of €3.50, and a time from less than 1 day up to 5 business days; a currency conversion adds 4.49%.
Is an offshore casino that takes Skrill legal?
ACMA says the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 makes it illegal for gambling providers to offer some online services to people in Australia, and online casinos are among them. That is about the casino; Skrill’s UK e-money authorisation does not license it.
Does Skrill allow payments to offshore casinos?
Skrill’s terms forbid payments to “persons or entities offering illegal gambling services” and leave it to you to make sure a transaction is legal where you live. They do not say whether an offshore casino counts, and we do not interpret them.
Is it an offence for me to play at an offshore casino?
The Interactive Gambling Act does not make playing an offence: a 2011 federal review paper says so, and we found no player offence in the current Act. We did not check state and territory laws; this is not legal advice.
