Skrill: the e-wallet that bonuses sometimes leave out
Skrill is an e-wallet that sits between your bank or card and the casino. Its appeal is that the casino never sees your card details and withdrawals, where supported, tend to reach the wallet faster than a bank. Its catch, from this guide's angle, is that some promotions exclude e-wallet deposits.
Important: available methods and limits depend on the operator, your country and your account type — check them in the cashier. This guide explains what to look for; it does not confirm that Dorado accepts any particular method.
Depositing with Skrill
In the cashier, pick Skrill and log in to your wallet to confirm. Skrill may charge for loading the wallet and for currency conversion; check your wallet's fee page. The email on your Skrill account should match the one you use with the platform, or at least be in your name.
Withdrawing to Skrill
If Skrill appears in the withdrawal tab, payouts go back to the same wallet. From there you move money to your bank, which may carry another fee. Some operators require that a wallet used for deposits is also used for withdrawals.
When a bonus is involved
Before depositing with Skrill to claim a bonus, read the promotion terms for excluded methods. E-wallets are among the most frequently excluded. If Skrill is excluded, the deposit is credited as real money without the bonus — not a disaster, but not what you planned.
Verification on two sides
Skrill has its own identity checks, separate from the casino's. An unverified wallet may have low limits. Verify both before the first withdrawal so neither side holds up the payout.
Account ownership
Using a wallet in another person's name is not allowed. Deposits from a third-party wallet can be returned and may lead to account closure.
Skrill and bonus abuse rules
Some operators exclude e-wallets from bonuses because wallets make it easy to open several accounts with different details. That is the reasoning, not an accusation; the effect for you is simply that the bonus will not apply. If you want both the bonus and the convenience of Skrill, deposit with a card for the bonus and use Skrill later, if the terms allow mixing methods.
Currency in the wallet
If your Skrill wallet is in one currency and your casino account in another, conversion can happen twice — once loading the wallet and once paying the casino. Matching the wallet currency to the account currency avoids that.
