Skrill at Ginga
Skrill is the e-wallet that sits between your bank and the casino. You fund it once — by card, by bank transfer or from another wallet — and after that every deposit is a two-click affair with no card number leaving the wallet. It is the fastest payout route we measured at Ginga, and it comes with two catches that nobody puts in the marketing: Skrill's own currency conversion fee, and the fact that wallet deposits are frequently excluded from bonus eligibility.
| Min deposit | Min withdrawal | Speed | Fees |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 € | 20 € | Instant in, 1-2 hours out | None from Ginga; Skrill may charge for currency conversion |
Depositing with Skrill
Choose Skrill in the cashier, enter an amount from 20 €, and log in to the wallet in the window that opens. Confirm, and the balance updates instantly — there is no confirmation delay and no risk of a Portuguese issuing bank blocking the transaction, because as far as your bank is concerned you topped up a wallet rather than paid a casino. Ginga charges nothing on the way in. Keep the wallet denominated in euros: if your Skrill balance is held in another currency, Skrill converts it at its own rate and adds its own conversion fee, and that charge comes from the wallet, not from the operator, so no support desk can refund it.
Withdrawing with Skrill
This is where Skrill earns its place. The minimum withdrawal is 20 €. Ginga reviews the request within 24 hours as it does for every method, and once approved the money reached the wallet in one to two hours in our tests — the fastest cashout on the site, weekends included, and quicker than Trustly at one to twenty-four hours or a card payout at three to five business days. A verified account that requests in the morning is usually paid the same day.
Payouts return to the wallet you deposited from, and the name on the Skrill account has to match the name on the casino account. Verification is the usual set — citizen card or passport, proof of address under three months old, and a screenshot of the Skrill profile page showing the account holder and the email. Send all three straight after registration and the first payout runs at full speed instead of waiting on paperwork; the sequence is set out in how to withdraw at Ginga.
Bonus eligibility: read this before you deposit
E-wallet deposits are excluded from many welcome and reload offers, and Skrill is the method most often named in that exclusion clause. The rule exists because a wallet makes it trivially easy to open, fund and abandon accounts, so operators ring-fence their promotions around bank and card rails. The practical consequence is blunt: if you deposit 20 € with Skrill expecting a matched bonus, the money can land with nothing attached and there is no way to apply the offer retroactively. Read the exclusion list on the bonus page first, and if the promotion matters more than the payout speed, fund with a bank transfer and keep Skrill for cashing out.
When Skrill is the right choice
Pick Skrill if getting paid quickly is what you actually care about, if you play at weekends when banking rails are asleep, or if you would rather not expose a card to a gambling merchant at all. Skip it if you are chasing a promotion, or if your wallet is denominated in a currency other than the euro and you would be paying a conversion spread in both directions.
