Skrill and Neteller: check the funds and the merchant.

The published facts, with the operator attached

Betfair’s UK withdrawal rows are evidence for the two named wallets at that operator. The table gives one timing range, without separate review and receipt periods; provider charges remain a different question.

Betfair’s documented operator-side deposit steps

Betfair’s deposit help lists Skrill and Neteller under Other Methods. Its UK payment context is corroborated by the current migration FAQ, and its UK withdrawal table lists both wallets. Check what the cashier offers for the actual account; a published method list is not a promise that every customer sees every option.

Use the operator’s current payment instructions first. An old wallet table for a brand which has migrated or closed is not evidence of its current cashier. The wallet provider’s own help is useful for explaining funding restrictions, but it does not certify an individual operator’s acceptance.

The published deposit guide documents the five operator-side actions below. Any wallet sign-in or authorisation follows the provider’s current prompts; its screens are not reproduced here. Stop if the intended method or eligible funding source is unavailable, and do not route around a protective restriction.

1. Open the operator's deposit area while signed in.
2. Open the alternative-methods tab.
3. Choose Skrill or Neteller if the method is available for that country and account.
4. Enter the amount after checking the displayed payment information.
5. Submit the deposit request.

The source of wallet money still matters

The Gambling Commission’s e-wallet guidance extends the credit-card restriction to wallet-funded gambling. Skrill and Neteller both state that credit-card-loaded funds cannot be used on UK gambling sites. They also say funds designated for non-gambling use cannot be relabelled later. A visible wallet balance is therefore not proof that it can be used for a casino payment.

Check the provider’s restriction for your country and funding method. Do not move money between services to disguise its source or work around a refusal. If a gambling payment is rejected, ask which restriction applies rather than treating the rejection as a prompt to try another route.

Compare the same event in both wallets

Compare charges for the same stage: funding the wallet, paying the operator, receiving a withdrawal or transferring money to a bank. A charge for one stage is not a like-for-like comparison with a charge for another. Use the current terms for the transaction you are considering.

Currency is part of the comparison. An account in GBP may avoid one conversion while another transaction still introduces a currency change. Establish the currencies shown by the wallet and the cashier before estimating the amount you will receive.

A sufficient balance can still be ineligible

A displayed wallet total is not the same as money available for a particular merchant. Skrill and Neteller explain restrictions connected to credit-card funding and non-gambling classifications. Adding together all visible wallet funds can therefore produce the wrong expectation about a gambling payment.

Ask which component of the balance is eligible and which rule caused a refusal. If wallet verification is outstanding, use the provider’s official secure process. Do not change the stated purpose of funds, supply a relative’s account or make repeated payments merely because the overall wallet balance appears sufficient.

For an existing withdrawal, first obtain the operator’s release information. Then check the wallet’s receiving entry. Only after receipt should any further bank transfer be investigated as a new transaction. Fees or conversion on that onward movement should be read from the appropriate provider account terms, not inferred from an operator’s payout statement.

Locate the missing transaction

If money left the wallet but the casino balance did not change, keep the wallet reference and the cashier’s deposit result. If the casino says it has paid a withdrawal, ask for its release reference and check the receiving wallet’s history. Only investigate an onward bank transfer after that separate transfer exists.

Check the operator’s ownership requirements for the wallet. If a relative’s account was used, explain the actual payment history to support. Share requested evidence through a secure channel, and never include a password or authentication code.

Keep the wallet check separate from the casino check

A provider’s verification request and the operator’s verification request can concern different records. Ask which service needs evidence, for what purpose and through which secure upload route. Completing one service’s process does not establish that the other has finished its own check.

How the other routes differ

PayPal adds a different wallet account; bank and card routes have their own receiving requirements. Compare like-for-like fees and stages rather than ranking an unknown total cost or payout time.
