How to spend with Skrill

Skrill is mainly used in online transactions. Thus, it is used to purchase goods and services that accept Skrill as a payment method. These include e-commerce sites, but also services such as online games. By the way, Skrill initially specialized in online sports betting payments.

With the rise of e-commerce and contactless payments, more and more “conventional” merchants are accepting Skrill. Like banks, Skrill can be used for recurring payments, such as magazine subscriptions and the like. All you have to do is notify Skrill of the direct debit.

However, it should be noted that Skrill naturally prohibits receiving or sending money on illegal activities such as selling weapons, illegal betting or unlicensed gambling. In addition to the legal risks, Skrill will charge you an administration fee for the investigation the company has conducted.
