Skrill at Vidal: e-wallet convenience and the bonus exclusion clause

Skrill is an international e-wallet: you hold a balance with the wallet provider and move money to and from merchants without sharing card details each time. For casino play it is convenient in both directions — deposits and withdrawals. For bonus hunters it carries one well-known catch: some promotions exclude e-wallet deposits. This page explains how to spot that clause at Vidal and what else to know before using Skrill. Available methods and limits depend on your account — check the cashier.

The exclusion clause, in plain terms

Many casinos write a line in their promotion terms listing deposit methods that do not qualify for bonuses, and e-wallets are frequently on it. If that line includes Skrill, a deposit through Skrill is credited normally but no bonus is added — even if you ticked the offer. Read the eligible-methods clause of the specific promotion before paying. If Skrill is excluded and you want the bonus, choose a qualifying method such as a card; if you would rather play without a bonus, Skrill is a perfectly good choice.

Depositing with Skrill

Select Skrill in the cashier and decide on the bonus.
Enter the amount and confirm; you are redirected to log in to your wallet.
Approve the payment in the wallet and return to the casino.
Check the balance and, if relevant, the bonus area before you play.

Wallet verification

The wallet provider runs its own identity checks, separate from the casino's. Casinos usually also want proof that the wallet is yours, for example a screenshot of the account page showing your name. Both processes are easier before a withdrawal than during one.

Withdrawing to Skrill

E-wallets are commonly available for withdrawals, which makes them practical when a card cannot receive payouts. Casinos may require you to withdraw to the method you deposited with first, up to the deposited amount. If a bonus is active, check the wagering before requesting a payout: an early request can cancel the bonus and its winnings. Processing depends on the operator and the wallet provider. Details are in the withdrawal guide and the bonus terms page.

Skrill and the wallet's own charges

The wallet provider may charge for loading money, converting currencies or sending funds to a bank. Those are between you and the provider and are not visible in the casino cashier, so read the wallet's fee page before moving larger amounts.

Frequently asked questions

Why are e-wallets sometimes excluded from bonuses?

Casinos have historically linked e-wallet deposits with bonus abuse, so some promotions leave them out. Whether that applies is stated in the eligible-methods clause of each offer.

Does my Skrill account need the same name as my casino account?

Yes, casinos generally require the wallet to be registered to the same person as the casino account. A mismatch can stop a withdrawal.

Can I withdraw to Skrill if I deposited by card?

Casinos often ask you to withdraw to the deposit method first, up to the amount deposited. Rules vary, so check the withdrawal terms or ask support.
