E-wallet alternatives for Neteller and Skrill

For some time now we have been receiving more and more reports from players who are having problems with the e-wallet providers Neteller and Skrill in online casinos. In some cases, individual providers no longer offer both e-wallets or special transactions for bonus redemption are no longer accepted. Most of the time, the players only have to use their credit card, which of course involves additional costs. In addition, you give up a certain amount of self-control when playing, which is given with e-wallets - here you can only make deposits with credit.

At the moment we can only guess what exactly is behind the Neteller/Skrill problems. The fact is that the casinos have to shell out quite high fees for every transaction via Neteller/Skrill. That would also explain why you can no longer redeem bonuses with the e-wallet giants from Great Britain in online casinos. Either way, alternatives must be found quickly and some casinos and sports betting providers have already reacted. There are already e-wallet alternatives to Neteller or Skrill and we have examined a few.

The best alternatives to e-wallets Neteller and Skrill

First of all, we want to distinguish between an e-wallet and a provider for instant transfers. Of course, if you play regularly, you don’t want to do without fast payouts. So here we have a few good alternatives which come closest to Neteller and Skrill and continue to grow in acceptance. If you already have a Neteller account or normally work with Skrill, you should be familiar with most of the handling.

In German-speaking countries, GiroPay or Sofortüberweisung is particularly well known and these payment providers are of course also a possibility to make transactions. You send money directly to the recipient via your own online banking, e.g. with GiroPay. So you work directly with your giro account and do not need to open a separate e-wallet account. The disadvantage is that you cannot make withdrawals with either GiroPay or Sofort. You would then have to resort to credit cards or bank transfers again – but this takes 2-5 days. This is where Trustly comes into play, a Swedish online payment service that runs via the online banking process. 

Trustly - the fastest method directly via bank account

With this payment method, you not only pay out quickly but also pay out just as quickly. No registration is necessary in online casinos, because you are already verified with the payment service. So the money is transferred in minutes.

---

• No time-consuming registration in the casino necessary
• Verification by the payment service 
• Secure transfer via online banking
• Deposits and withdrawals within minutes
• Already available in many casinos

---

The advantages here are instant payments, absolute security and an extremely simple payment process. Online payments directly via bank account are becoming increasingly popular because they are particularly easy and secure. Withdrawals via online casinos are in the bank account in a few minutes. 

ecoPayz the best alternative to Neteller and Skrill

ecoPayz, also known as ecocard, is currently the best e-wallet alternative to Neteller and Skrill. The handling is similar to Neteller, except that you can combine up to three currencies under one account. The fees are also similar but the acceptance and usability in online casinos is much greater for German customers. The conditions to reach a certain VIP level in order to benefit from cheaper fees are also lower there.

---

• With just one ecoAccount, receive, send and spend money worldwide
• Complete account control and security
• Prepaid Mastercard available in 3 different currencies (€ Euro, £ GBP, and $ USD)
• Pay worldwide with the ecoCard and withdraw from ATMs
• ecoVirtualcard for one-time use, versatile

---

In principle, there are no disadvantages with ecoPayz, except that the fees are similar to those of Neteller and Skrill. There is better acceptance for this. Another advantage is the ecoVirtualcard for one-time use, which works as a payment card directly via the eco account without disclosing personal or financial information. ecoPayz is already represented in many casinos such as Omni, Golden euros, EveryGame, in all Microgaming Casino, RTG Casinos and many Multigaming Casinos.

MuchBetter – the e-wallet alternative for mobile payments

From our point of view, Muchbetter is a good alternative if you are looking for an e-wallet. You can download the app on the homepage and then register via your smartphone within seconds. Everything else is as you already know it: make your deposit and withdrawals within a few seconds, the latter of course depending on the casino's processing time. Other advantages of MuchBetter at a glance:

---

• Free money transfer between all MuchBetter members
• Also free MuchBetter Master Card for payments in shops
• Full control via app: payments, receipts and fast card blocking
• App is available for Android from version 5 and iOS from version 9 and higher

---

For frequent users, there is another crucial reason that speaks for MuchBetter. The e-wallet has the lowest fees compared to the competition. So if you make a lot of payments, you will benefit twice over in the long run. The Master Card offered is also free of charge. The only downside is that the e-wallet is currently only available for smartphones and tablets, but not for desktop computers. You can only make your payments using a mobile device. MuchBetter is available at Sunmaker, 888 Casino and Cherry Casino, for example.

UPayCard – pay and play with the e-wallet or master card

The UPayCard is most comparable to Neteller and Skrill. You can open your free e-wallet account within a few seconds on the homepage. As you know it from Neteller, you can create a reference account or a reference credit card for the account. You will also receive a physical Master Card on request, which you can use in shops off the Internet. You can then use this card to withdraw cash from all ATMs around the world for the usual fees. Other advantages of UPayCard are:

---

• Fast opening of the UPayCard account within a few seconds
• Free money transfer between all members of UPayCard
• No hidden fees and transparent cost statements
• App available for smartphones with all functions and control mechanisms

---

Unfortunately, the UPayCard has not yet been widely accepted in online casinos. Nevertheless, this provider is a good alternative, because the e-wallet is already relatively widespread and accepted outside of the online casino world.

Other recommended e-wallets and payment systems

Advanced online casino deposit alternatives also include Zimpler and iDeal. Both providers specialize in payments from smartphones and tablets. Zimpler makes the transfers directly in real time from your giro account and iDeal uses the same system only that you work here with your credit cards. The advantage of both providers is the same: you do not give any personal data about the recipient and thus remain completely anonymous. This type of payment is very secure and is already accepted by many online casinos.
