Skrill (Moneybookers) Bingo Sites

Skrill/MoneybookersSkrill – formerly known as Moneybookers – is one of the world’s biggest and best known (till they changed their name!) online payment companies and has been up and running since 2001. Its headquarters are located in London though they have numerous offices dotted around Europe and the United States, and they have over 36 million customers who send and receive money between 200 countries in 40 currencies. In short, they are massive.

With Skrill’s size and industry experience comes an extremely strong commitment to customer security and the company has won various awards for their products and they are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority of the United Kingdom (FCA). They are trusted by most of the biggest and best brands in the online bingo world, as shown in the following table.

Skrill/Moneybookers Benefits

Once you have set up and funded a Skrill account you can enjoy an instantaneous and secure deposit and withdrawal method to and from your favourite online bingo sites. The ability to deposit and withdraw from your bingo accounts without having to enter your own financial details means the chances of fraud are minimised, and though you need to enter your details to fund the Skrill account itself, security is the basis of their business and they use the most cutting edge encryption technology available to ensure your information is never compromised.

There are no fees to use your Personal Skrill account (unless the account is dormant for a year or more) or for depositing to any of the bingo sites which accept the method, and the piece of mind provided by the method is a big benefit to many. Some bingo sites will also give occasional incentives to deposit using Skrill, while the Skrill VIP scheme gives loyal customers the chance to earn rewards.

Skrill/Moneybookers Disadvantages

There are fees involved when withdrawing funds from your Skrill account and also for the Skrill Prepaid Mastercard and if you don’t use your Skrill account for over a year they will apply a monthly fee, which is a bit cheeky.
