The company says its iOS, Android, and desktop Skrill applications are enhanced with a state-of-the-art look and feel and streamlined UX to meet the needs of casual or VIP players. An all-new ‘tiled’ display highlights the information a player needs to make a deposit, ensuring the payments experience is quicker and uninterrupted.

“We’re excited to roll out a major product upgrade for our digital wallet,” said Skrill USA CEO and CFO Paul Jardon in a statement. “Players using Skrill USA to wager with U.S. iGaming brands will enjoy the wallet’s sophisticated user experience and find it’s faster than ever before to make a deposit and to receive payouts of their winnings.”

For new users, Skrill secures bank accounts to allow instant deposits and guarantees funds. Customers also can enter credit or debit card information using Paysafecard or Paysafecash, available at thousands of U.S. retail stores, to their Skrill accounts

For returning players, the log-in page’s ‘remember me’ function allows customers to fund their deposit with one click.

Payouts are accessible to players through their Skrill account in real-time, and can be spent online and offline using the Skrill Visa Prepaid Card, withdrawn directly as cash at an ATM, or transferred into players’ linked bank accounts. Customers also can invest their winnings directly into cryptocurrency through Skrill’s integrated crypto exchange feature.

“Payments are one of the main pillars of customer conversion for U.S. iGaming brands, said Paysafe CEO of North America iGaming Zak Culter in a statement. “With an unparalleled payments experience, the new Skrill USA digital wallet will give operators an edge when it comes to customer acquisition and retention – we feel it’s a game-changer for the increasingly competitive U.S. market.”
