Skrill at Ezz
An e-wallet adds a custody to the journey. Where there were a bank and an operator, there are now a bank, a wallet and an operator — with a name to match at each point and a possible currency conversion at each border. That extra custody is simultaneously the advantage and the cost of this rail, and this file covers both halves. Other options sit on the payments page.

The account in the middle
Skrill is an electronic money account with its own holder, its own balance and its own history. It is topped up by card or bank transfer and then acts as a source and destination independent of the bank. From the operator's side the deposit is instant because the value is already inside the payments circuit. From the player's side there is now one more place where money can sit still, and one more rulebook to satisfy.
Two identity checks
This is what catches people out. The wallet runs its own verification — an identity document and, above certain volumes, a proof of address. The operator runs its own as well: citizen card front and back, a proof of address issued within the last three months, and evidence of the payment instrument, as listed in the withdrawal file. The name has to match on both sides. A wallet opened under a shortened name, or carrying an old address, creates a discrepancy that only surfaces when money is already waiting.
The currency border nobody invoices
The Ezz balance is denominated in euro. A euro wallet moves money across the borders with no conversion at all. A wallet held in another currency converts on the way in and again on the way out, each time with the service's margin baked into the rate — a cost that never appears as a fee line and is only visible as the gap between what left and what arrived. Checking the wallet currency before the first deposit removes the most frustrating support conversation on this rail.
Four states a transfer can sit in
- Sent by the wallet, not yet credited — ordinary reconciliation, closed with the transaction reference from the wallet history.
- Declined on a wallet limit — unverified wallets carry movement caps, adjusted at the wallet.
- Held by the operator — a request under financial review, typically incomplete verification or an unfinished campaign.
- In the wallet, not yet in the bank — the casino leg is finished and the last leg has not started.
The leg most stopwatches forget
Here the extra custody pays off: money reaches the wallet in one to twelve hours on a business day, the shortest window among the traditional rails. But the journey is not over. Moving it from the wallet to a bank account is a separate operation with its own timing and its own fee, set by the service rather than by the operator. Measured all the way to the bank, a wallet payout often takes about as long as the SEPA route it was supposed to beat.
