Any skrill/neteller users?

[winner2021]

Hi all,

so I currently use PayPal to deposit with most of the time (except for sites that don't have this option) just so I don't have loads of gambling transactions on my bank account.

I was wondering about joining Skrill or Neteller and using that purely for gambling instead of PayPal which I use to buy other stuff with as well. Thought it might be simpler/easier to have just one place to gamble with. I read a bit about them on here but am slightly put off by their fees. I just wanted some recommendations on whether they're good to go with and simple to use?

I've cut way down so it would be small deposits like maybe £30 a week and then once or twice a month if I have more funds £100-£200 to play slots with (the rest would be bingo and very small deposits). Is there any point using Skrill/neteller for such smallish transactions or should I stick to PayPal? Thanks all!

Why don’t you just open a new bank account to use just for gambling? That way all your gambling transactions are isolated from your other main accounts. Not sure where your from but if your UK it’s a good solution with no fees, safe, and can even fund it with cash deposits at like the post office, or link it to existing account for just transfers.

All well and good until the casino you are playing at want to see your bank statements, they will then want to know where you are getting cash from to deposit into the account.

I use a seperate account, just causes more hassle as its more statements that need sending should anyone reach EDD requirements.

Never had a problem with any of the casinos I played at with this method, all UK casinos, and most my big cash deposits come from poker the rest is direct bank transfers from casinos.
Using one account only for casino play actually makes statements easier as there isn’t other everyday transactions on there to explain.

Also as OP Said it was going to be low amounts doubt it would be a big problem.
And would still keep gambling transactions off his main account even if he funded new account from there which was his main objective.

Had Skrill 10 years +

Got the cashpoint / Mastercard that goes with it too.

Never had an issue, trust them 100% *touch wood*

Only downside is their fees are ridiculous but for peace of mind and a clear bank statement I can live with them.

UK yes. I did think about it but I've only had one bank account my whole life and not really sure about going to the hassle to open a new one if I can just use something that's similar to PayPal. I just don't want to have funds on PP if e.g I sell something on ebay and be tempted to blow it. Hence why I thought it'd be better to have a separate account just for gambling.

@Jono777 that's great! Yeah the fees are the only thing putting me off right now!
