Skrill sits between you and the casino: you pay from the e-wallet, and the operator never sees your card or bank number. The Skrill casinos open to Canadians are mostly offshore. None of the provincially licensed operators in our records lists it, while N1 Casino, LV Bet, Boo Casino and others do. Check the bonus terms too, because e-wallet deposits are sometimes excluded from welcome offers.
Online casino play is 19+ (18+ in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec); see our responsible gambling page before you load a wallet.
How Skrill works for casino payments
Skrill was launched in 2001 and belongs to Paysafe, which says the wallet was built with gambling payments in mind. You fund the Skrill balance by card, bank transfer or Paysafecard, then choose Skrill in the casino cashier and log in to approve. Money you win can go back to the wallet and from there to your bank.
Skrill’s own fees for loading, converting currency and withdrawing to a Canadian bank were not confirmed in our research, so read its fee page before you rely on it. If your wallet balance is in another currency, conversion costs apply on top of any casino fee.

All of these hold Malta or Alderney licences and are not licensed by any province. That matters for payments: a stuck withdrawal cannot be escalated to the AGCO or a crown corporation. If you want a regulated site, start with our Ontario list or the crown site in your province.
Skrill deposits and welcome bonuses
Several affiliate guides report that Skrill and Neteller deposits can be excluded from welcome bonuses. We have not confirmed this per operator, so read the bonus terms for a list of excluded payment methods before the first Skrill deposit. Our welcome bonus guide explains wagering and caps.
Withdrawals and refunds
Casinos usually pay Skrill depositors back to the same wallet after identity checks. Published processing times vary by operator; we do not time payouts ourselves. We did not confirm how Skrill handles disputes over gambling payments, so raise problems with the casino first and keep records of each transaction.
Skrill compared with PayPal and Interac
All three keep the casino one step away from your bank, but they lead to different kinds of sites. PayPal appears mainly at Ontario-registered operators, Interac e-Transfer at almost every regulated site, and Skrill, in our records, only at offshore ones. If you want to play under provincial rules, a Skrill cashier is therefore a hint that the site is outside them; our PayPal casinos page covers the regulated wallet option.
Skrill slots sites and sportsbooks
The same wallet works for casino games and sports bets at sites that list it, including several offshore operators with sportsbooks. Before a first deposit, read the withdrawal caps in the terms, since some offshore sites set daily or weekly limits, and check the site’s licence in its footer. Set a deposit limit in the account; slots and in-play betting both move quickly.
