In the same way as brick and mortar casinos have evolved into digital online gambling sites, banking methods and way of handling money have also undergone a digital revolution, making cheques and time-consuming wire transfers a thing of the past.
We caught up with Wouter Sleijffers, VP Marketing Service of Skrill, at ICE 2013 Totally Gaming. Skrill, formerly known as Moneybookers, provides customers with a digital wallet that allows to make fast and secure deposits and withdrawals of money from various online environments.
According to Sleijffers
Skrill allows you to start playing your favorite games without any delay, and at the same time you can also instantly withdraw the money you have won.
Other benefits include safety and privacy – when making a purchase with a digital wallet, the merchant will only receive your email address. Also, if you play poker, like to place sports bets or play in online casinos, your finances will be secure and private at Skrill, whereas making similar payments from your regular bank account can be frowned upon by certain banks.

Another reason to use Skrill is the prepaid Skrill Mastercard. This way, if you win in an online casino, for example, you can instantly withdraw your money to your Skrill account, and seconds later you can pay with Skrill Mastercard, or use a global network of ATMs that allow Mastercard holders to withdraw cash.
There are more than 30 million Skrill accounts and 135,000 different websites that allow using Skrill as a payment method. Whether you are looking for online gaming, shopping or services, Skrill will help you manage your digital finances, whilst providing heightened privacy and security.
If you enjoy playing in online casinos, we recommend that you check the info about deposit methods on the casino homepage, before making a deposit. You’ll be pleasantly surprised how many casinos offer you an extra 10 or 15 % bonus when depositing with Skrill / Moneybookers. From our own partners, we can instantly name a few, such as EuroGrand 15%, William Hill Casino Club 15 % and Winner Casino 15%.
