How Neteller works at online casinos
Neteller is an e-wallet owned by Paysafe Group (the same company behind Skrill). You fund your Neteller account from a bank or card, then use the balance to deposit at casinos. Deposits are instant. Withdrawals from the casino to Neteller take 1 to 24 hours. The casino sees Neteller as the payment method, keeping your bank details private.
Neteller has been serving the online gambling industry since 1999, making it one of the longest-running payment solutions for casino players. It's accepted at most international online casinos, though slightly less universally than Skrill.
Neteller vs. Skrill: what's actually different
Since both are owned by Paysafe, the core experience is nearly identical. But there are practical differences worth knowing.
| Feature | Neteller | Skrill |
| Casino acceptance | ~85% of casinos | ~90% of casinos |
| Deposit/withdrawal speed | Identical | Identical |
| Fee structure | Very similar | Very similar |
| Prepaid card | Net+ Mastercard | Skrill prepaid Visa |
| Mobile app | Slightly better rated | Functional |
| Crypto funding | Supported (buy crypto in-app) | Supported (buy crypto in-app) |
| Bonus eligibility | Often excluded | Often excluded |
| VIP program | Similar tiers | Similar tiers |
If you already use Skrill, there's little reason to switch to Neteller. If you're choosing between the two, Skrill has slightly wider casino acceptance. Neteller's main differentiator is its Net+ prepaid Mastercard, which some players prefer for in-store and ATM access to their gambling winnings.
The Net+ prepaid Mastercard
Neteller offers a physical or virtual prepaid Mastercard linked to your Neteller balance. You can use it to spend your casino winnings at any store or ATM that accepts Mastercard, without transferring funds back to your bank first.
This is useful for players who want quick access to their winnings in everyday life. Withdraw from the casino to Neteller (1 to 24 hours), and the funds are immediately available on your Net+ card. No waiting for a bank transfer. The card works for online purchases, contactless payments, and ATM withdrawals worldwide.
The Net+ card has its own fee structure: ATM withdrawals cost $2 to $4, and currency conversion charges apply if you use it in a different currency than your Neteller account. But for instant access to casino winnings, it's a convenient option that Skrill's prepaid Visa doesn't match in terms of global acceptance.
Neteller fees
| Transaction | Fee |
| Casino deposit (from Neteller) | Free at most casinos |
| Casino withdrawal (to Neteller) | Free at most casinos |
| Fund from bank transfer | Free to 2.5% |
| Fund from debit/credit card | 2.5% |
| Withdraw to bank | $0-7.50 (free for VIP) |
| Currency conversion | 3.99% |
| Net+ card ATM withdrawal | $2-4 |
| Inactive account (12 months) | $5/month |
The same advice as Skrill applies: match your Neteller account currency to your casino currency to avoid the 3.99% conversion markup. Fund from a bank transfer rather than a card to save on the 2.5% card funding fee. And if you reach VIP status through regular use, bank withdrawals become free.

Neteller VIP program
Neteller's VIP program mirrors Skrill's: tiered benefits based on quarterly transaction volume. Higher tiers unlock lower fees, better exchange rates, higher limits, free bank withdrawals, and dedicated support. VIP entry starts at roughly $6,000 in quarterly transactions.
For regular casino players, VIP status is achievable and significantly reduces the cost of using Neteller. Free bank withdrawals alone save $7.50 per transaction. Better exchange rates save 1 to 2% on currency conversions. Over a year of regular use, the savings justify routing your casino payments through Neteller.
Neteller crypto feature
Neteller lets you buy, sell, and hold cryptocurrency within your account. You can purchase Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other coins directly in the Neteller app. This is convenient if you want to occasionally deposit at crypto casinos without setting up a separate crypto wallet. However, Neteller's crypto exchange rates include a markup, so dedicated exchanges like Binance or Coinbase offer better prices.
When to choose Neteller
Pick Neteller over other methods if: you want an e-wallet with wide casino acceptance and the convenience of the Net+ prepaid card for spending winnings directly. You already have a Neteller account from previous gambling or online payment use. Or the specific casino you play at accepts Neteller but not Skrill (uncommon but it happens).
For most players choosing between Neteller and Skrill for the first time, Skrill's slightly wider casino acceptance makes it the default recommendation. But if you value the Net+ card or already use Neteller, the casino experience is identical.
