Skrill Casino Bonus

Skrill, formerly Moneybookers, is a highly-thought-of secure payment provider and is one of several eWallet services out there.

In short, you make a deposit into your Skrill account and then from Skrill to the online casino of your choice.

This also works in reverse, in other words you can withdraw from your casino account into your Skrill eWallet and from there to your bank account.

There are advantages in this method for players, for sure, in that you don’t have to reveal so many of your personal details to the merchant (unlike with the more traditional credit and debit cards) but at the same time you still have a record of the transactions you have made.

But have you ever considered that Skrill also provides benefits to the casinos themselves?

These include simplicity and speed, but it’s also a way of reassuring that the player is who he/she says they are, that they are not underage, playing in a jurisdiction where online gaming is forbidden, and so on.

In fact, sometimes you may be rewarded in the form of an online casino Skrill bonus simply for making a deposit in that payment method, rather than another.

But what is a Skrill online casino bonus?

Well, it’s just a way of saying thanks for using that method as against another (and indeed it is a way of making the decision of which payment provider to use – and there are plenty of them for you to choose from!).

A Skrill casino bonus may be Free Spins on a specific slot, often one which has been newly-launched or is being promoted for some reason, or it can also be Bonus or ‘Free’ Money.

In the latter case, the principle is similar to that of the Welcome Bonus where the casino will match your deposit with money for you to play with, although it is unlikely to be 100% - values of around would be typical.

So for instance if you deposited €100 via Skrill, you would be rewarded with €50. Naturally the best Skrill casino bonuses would be 100% but these would be pretty unusual and only perhaps found at a newly-launched casinos who were anxious for new sign-ups to use a payment method which was conducive to their business (along the lines of the advantages mentioned above).

A couple of other things are worth mentioning – some of the best online casino Skrill bonuses can follow on from your actual registration, in other words, you can sign up to the casino for free and without making a deposit, and only then start perusing the payment methods on offer when you’re ready to make a money deposit and play for real (if you decide the site is right for you, that is!).

The other point is one of mere trivia – Skrill was formerly known as Moneybookers; this wouldn’t have been so unimportant until around 2012 when the rebranding was complete, but until then it may have been the case that some Skrill casino bonuses were displayed as Moneybookers bonuses (incidentally proceed with caution with a gambling site which is still marketing the payment method as Moneybookers, as that means it has out-of-date information and may even be disreputable).

How do you know where the best casinos are and where to get your hands on a casino Skrill bonus?

Our site is a good resource – and no we aren’t blowing our own trumpet here, the fact is there are (still) unfortunately a few cowboys out there; in order to be listed with CDN an online casino has to meet stringent requirements regarding security, quality of games, customer service, licences and regulations, speed of withdrawal, returns to player – and of course payment methods.

Any sites not making the grade will be removed forthwith but at the same time we are always adding new sites, so keep your eye on this site or subscribe to our email alert and stay one step ahead of the game!
