You can also request an embossed contactless Mastercard or Visa debit card for your Skrill account after registering. For a fee of just €10. However, this is not a necessary condition to move your money.
You can use your Skrill debit card to make online and traditional payments and withdraw cash from ATMs. It’s mean effectively replacing your traditional debit card. All you need to set up a Skrill account is an email address.
You can top up your Skrill wallet balance with a simple bank transfer, but it’s important to note that you can also have your account in several different currencies. This will save you a lot of conversion costs in the long run.
Most online betting shops and websites will ask for your personal details when you make a purchase. Which you may be reluctant to share with third parties for understandable reasons.
