Moneybookers (Skrill) in online casinos

Moneybookers is a British e-wallet that has been called Skrill since 2013. Players used it to fund online casino accounts, including at Treasure Island Casino. Below is how a deposit worked in the old casino cashier and what to check before paying with Skrill or another e-wallet in 2026.

What Moneybookers was

Members of casino “Treasury Island” could make a deposit using a payment system of English origin — Moneybookers (today Skrill). At the time this payment system was extremely popular not only in Britain but on all continents, and the number of users of the system was more than 10 million people.

Users of the system could choose the interface language, the program worked with many international currencies, all payments in the system were made in real time, and registration was simple, so the service was comfortable and safe to use. Millions of people around the world had been successfully using this system for nearly ten years; if you wanted to make quick payments, secure from information and financial fraud, the old page advised you to go ahead and register in the system Moneybookers, renamed Skrill in 2013.

European users appreciated the payment system Moneybookers (Skrill since 2013) and often used it for shopping in virtual stores and online auctions. Conveniently, the data of the payment card used in the system are not available to the suppliers of the goods and services that the user pays for.

Terms at Treasure Island Casino (archive)

One of the advantages of this payment system at the casino was that the minimum deposit amount was equal to 10 USD; in addition, when funding the player account with Moneybookers (as Skrill was formerly called), users were not charged any commission. Casino Treasury Island paid all fees for funding a player account with the help of Moneybookers — an offer that no longer exists since the casino has closed.

Users needed to remember that an account in the system could be opened in only one currency; the casino advised paying attention to the most stable currencies: USD, Euro or Pound.

How deposits worked (archive)

To put money into a player’s account in the casino using the Moneybookers system (renamed Skrill in 2013), players had to perform the following steps:

1. Go to the Flash version of the casino (it no longer works: browsers dropped Flash in 2021), to the “Cashier”.
2. In the item “Cash”, press “Deposit”, then choose the payment system Moneybookers, as Skrill was called until 2013.
3. Click on the logo of the system: in the window that opened, you specified in the empty box the amount by which you wished to recharge your player account at our casino.
4. After that you were automatically transferred to the site of the payment system, where you went through a quick registration process or logged in if you were already one of the participants in this system.

Please note the condition that, for the greatest comfort of the payment and fulfilment of the deposit, it was desirable that the e-mail address you indicated in your game profile and in the payment system were identical. This advice still makes sense: casinos compare the details of the account and the payment method during verification.

Moneybookers in 2026: Skrill

Since 2013 the wallet has worked under the Skrill brand. Whether a particular online casino accepts Skrill, what the fees and limits are and whether withdrawals to the wallet are possible — check in the casino’s cashier and on the official Skrill website. Some casinos exclude e-wallet deposits from bonus offers, so read the bonus terms too.

How to pay safely in online casinos

• Check that online casinos are legal in your country and that the casino’s licence is in the regulator’s official register.
• Use only your own wallet and pass verification (KYC) before the first withdrawal; as a rule, withdrawals go back to the deposit method.
• Set a deposit limit and spend only what you can afford to lose. All methods are compared in the guide to online casino payment methods.
