It is hard to imagine a successful betting business without a reliable financial module. It should provide fast and beneficial transactions, guarantee the complete security of confidential data, and offer flexible tariff plans.
Skrill is an international system that supports multicurrency transfers all over the world.
The company was founded in 2001 in the United Kingdom under the name Moneybookers Limited.
Initially, the product was created to carry out simplified transactions using the sender's e-mail address. Over time, the range of services offered by the brand has significantly expanded: the provider has added new options and opportunities for entrepreneurs.
Owners of the gambling business will be interested in the integration of the Skrill payment system into their bookmaker’s offices, online casinos, poker rooms, sites with lottery draws, and binary options trading platforms. In Europe and North America, the developer occupies a leading position in terms of the number of transactions made by gamblers.
The company actively supports international sports. Thus, in 2022, the provider became the exclusive partner of FC Milan, a popular European football club. According to the contract, the brand’s logos are placed on promotional banners and uniforms of players.
The financial aggregator is actively used:
Besides, it is a favourite financial tool of freelancers (photographers, writers, programmers, designers, etc.)
Skrill ranks second in the world (after the American PayPal system) in terms of the number of completed transactions and popularity with the mass consumer. The solution is available in 200 countries and supports transfers in more than 40 currencies.
The milestones in the provider's development are:

All the above-mentioned methods are integrated into a single database with convenient management and navigation. Entrepreneurs simply select the option they need and approve the operation. Everything else is done automatically by the system, including request processing, checking for compliance with AML policies, chargeback administration, etc.
They are carried out on the basis of the Rapid Transfer program. The solution allows gamblers to make payments directly from open multi-currency accounts (in US dollars, euros, and other monetary units) without leaving the betting platform.
The Skrill payment system for bookmakers is integrated with 3,000 banks. These are both well-known international organisations (for example, Raiffeisen Bank International, BNP Paribas, Credit Agricole, and UniCredit Group) and smaller enterprises (for example, Ukrgasbank, and many others).
Local financial services can also be added to the Rapid Transfer program to expand the range of options offered in betting shops.

The financial gateway can be connected to the CRM system of the wagering site. This will increase the level of customer service, improve the payment policy of a betting shop, and optimise the management costs of a bookmaker’s office.
The system supports 3 options:
Personal account | This solution is for individuals — visitors to the wagering site — and self-employed persons who provide services to the operator (for example, work on the promotion of betting shops on the Internet). A personal account supports the deposition and withdrawal of funds to a card, transfers within the system, and cryptocurrency transactions. The solution can also be used for one-time replenishment of an account in online casinos, poker rooms, and bookmaker’s offices |
Commercial account | It is designed for legal entities. The integration of the Skrill system allows operators to pay for the services of B2B partners (hosting companies, software vendors), transfer salaries to hired personnel, and transfer prizes/bonuses to gamblers |
VIP account | It differs from the previous 2 with improved terms of service. Holders of the VIP status get access to the company's premium solutions (microloans, reduced commissions) and can consult with a personal manager in the round-the-clock format.
