About Skrill
Skrill (formerly called Moneybookers) is a secure way to pay globally without revealing your financial details. It acts as a digital wallet and is a convenient method to transfer cash online, providing real-time instant payments. Australians can upload funds by credit card, POLi, bank transfer or cheque. Withdrawals can be made by bank transfer or cheque. Skrill is regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in the UK.
Skrill is an excellent way to deposit funds with bookmakers, and it is arguably the best method when using international bookmakers. It enables you to transact with a bookmaker without sharing any of your credit card or banking details. One highlight is that you don’t have to deposit funds into your Skrill account first before making a deposit with a bookmaker. Skrill will handle the deposit into your Skrill account and transfer to your betting account in one step. Another highlight is the fact that it supports POLi for Australian users. This enables you to use POLi as the effective deposit method even with international bookmakers. Skrill is an equally convenient method to make withdrawals from your betting account. It avoids the hassles of having to send in a scanned copy of your credit card, and it avoids the hefty bank fees involved with international bank transfers. Also, Skrill deposits are made available in your betting account immediately.
