Skrill is very much the darling of the online gaming community for a very good reason: you can register for an account using nothing other than an email address (max of 4 addresses on a registered account). With Skrill, it's possible to transfer money to anyone in the world, and the company was among the first to welcome top poker rooms and the best online casinos. Today, many players also enjoy gaming at South Africa Skrill casinos casinos since the system is one of the most convenient online payment systems for gamblers and freelancers (especially IT professionals). Because of its inherent advantage, the system is very easy to use in everyday life.
Withdrawal with Skrill
It is also easy to withdraw with Skrill. South African players' step-by-step process is given below:
- Open a new account using your email address and personal details, selecting South Africa as your home country and ZAR as your account currency.
- Confirm your account by clicking on the link sent through your email address.
- Add a payment method (bank card or bank account) to top up your Skrill account.
- Register at an online casino that accepts Skrill, and select Skrill as a means of deposit.
- Choose the sum and transfer money from your Skrill account to your casino account.
- Optional: enable a welcome bonus or a payment method bonus in case it is offered by the casino for using Skrill.
The registration itself is simple — the Skrill site is straightforward, and registering your own account takes a few minutes. The more complicated step further down the line is identity verification, which raises your deposit and withdrawal limits. This means scanning in quality documents such as your South African ID or proof of residence.

In order to deposit at your casino using Skrill in South Africa, you can utilize:
- Bank transfer (usually charge-free in Skrill, but may take a couple of days depending on your bank).

How to Withdraw Money from Skrill
