What Is a Rapid Transfer Casino?

Rapid Transfer is Skrill’s instant bank transfer, part of Paysafe Group: you pay from your own online banking instead of a card. A Rapid Transfer casino is a UK-licensed casino whose cashier offers it. Casinos add Rapid Transfer through Skrill Quick Checkout, where its payment code is OBT, and a casino has to be onboarded with Skrill before it can take it. Rapid Transfer is one of the payment options at instant bank transfer casinos.

Who Owns Rapid Transfer?

Rapid Transfer is provided by Skrill, a Paysafe digital wallet, and is part of Paysafe Group.

  • In the UK, Skrill Limited provides Rapid Transfer under its terms of use. Skrill Limited is registered in England and Wales (company 4260907), and its terms give its FCA e-money register number as 900001.
  • From 1 February 2027, Paysafe Financial Services Limited (company 04478861; FCA number 900015, per the terms) takes over as the UK provider. Nothing else in the terms changes.
  • Behind the casino checkout, Paysafe Payment Solutions Limited, registered in Ireland (company 626665), trades as Skrill, Skrill Quick Checkout and Rapid Transfer. The Central Bank of Ireland regulates it.

Paysafe launched the Rapid Transfer brand on 8 September 2016. Skrill’s Quick Checkout guide says Rapid Transfer was previously called Skrill Direct.

Which Countries and Banks Does Rapid Transfer Support?

Rapid Transfer works in the UK in pounds. Skrill lists 15 countries and more than 170 connected banks: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and the UK.

Older pages often say 7 countries and 100+ banks. Those figures date from the 2016 launch, when Rapid Transfer covered the UK, Germany, Austria, Italy, France, Hungary and Spain.

You see whether your bank is supported when you pay: the Rapid Transfer page asks you to choose it.

What Are Rapid Transfer’s Fees and Limits?

Skrill’s Rapid Transfer terms set no Skrill fee for paying a casino. The only charges are any your bank makes.

Payment Fee Status
Paying a casino by Rapid Transfer No Skrill fee; your bank may charge Verified 2 Nov
Topping up a Skrill wallet by Rapid Transfer 1% Verified 2 Nov
Topping up a Skrill wallet by bank transfer 0% Verified 2 Nov

The terms state no payment limit. If you top up a Skrill wallet, Skrill shows your Rapid Transfer limit in the Add section of your account. Each casino’s deposit limits are in its terms, and our audit records them.

How Does a Rapid Transfer Casino Deposit Work?

A Rapid Transfer deposit takes three steps:

  1. Choose Rapid Transfer in the casino cashier, then pick your bank.
  2. Log in with your online banking details.
  3. Confirm the payment.

Your bank can ask for an extra security code by text message, one-time password or its app. Skrill says Rapid Transfer doesn’t store your online banking details.

Two things to know before you confirm:

  • You can’t cancel a Rapid Transfer payment once you’ve given consent.
  • Skrill may share your account name and the last 4 digits of your account number with the casino.

On the casino’s side, the payment runs through Skrill Quick Checkout under payment code OBT.

How Do Rapid Transfer Casino Withdrawals Work?

Rapid Transfer can pay winnings back, but only where the casino has switched Rapid Transfer payouts on. A Rapid Transfer withdrawal goes only to the bank account you deposited from. Our Rapid Transfer withdrawal guide covers the status steps, timing and what to do when a casino won’t pay out this way.

What Are Rapid Transfer’s Pros and Cons at Casinos?

Pros Cons
No card details: you log in to your own bank Listed by name mostly at offshore casinos, which we don’t list
170+ banks in 15 countries, including the UK in GBP You can’t cancel a payment once you’ve consented
No Skrill fee in the terms for paying a casino Withdrawals only where the casino switches them on
Your bank’s own security checks apply Winnings can only return to the account you paid from

Where Is Rapid Transfer Listed by Name?

Rapid Transfer is listed by name mostly at casinos licensed in Curaçao and Anjouan, and we don’t list those casinos. How often it appears at UK-licensed casinos is what our audit measures: it records where Rapid Transfer appears in every UK cashier it checks.

How Is Rapid Transfer Different From the Skrill Wallet, Trustly and paysafecard?

Rapid Transfer vs the Skrill Wallet

Rapid Transfer Skrill wallet
Where the money comes from Your bank account, when you pay Your Skrill balance
Skrill login None in the payment steps Yes
Skrill fee to pay a casino None in the terms No transaction fee
Withdrawals Only to the bank account you paid from Set by each casino

Topping Up Skrill or Neteller With Rapid Transfer

Rapid Transfer can also top up a Skrill or Neteller wallet. A Rapid Transfer top-up of a Skrill wallet costs 1%. When you pay with Rapid Transfer, you can earn Knect, Skrill’s loyalty points.

Rapid Transfer is not Trustly: Trustly is a separate Swedish pay-by-bank company. It is not Ecobank Rapidtransfer, a money-transfer service between Europe and Africa, and it is not Transfer Rapid, a separate company with a similar name. It is not paysafecard either: search results for “paysafe casino” are about paysafecard, not Rapid Transfer.

What Can Replace Rapid Transfer at UK Casinos?

When a casino doesn’t offer Rapid Transfer, the closest options are another instant bank transfer, the Skrill wallet or a debit card. Credit cards are out: the UK Gambling Commission banned gambling on credit cards from 14 April 2020. To pay from your bank through Skrill’s wallet, top it up by Rapid Transfer first; our list of Skrill casinos shows which UK-licensed casinos take Skrill.

Do Rapid Transfer Deposits Count for Casino Bonuses?

Each casino’s bonus terms decide. Our audit quotes the payment rules from every casino in the table. Until a casino is checked, read its bonus terms for excluded payment methods before you deposit.

Is Rapid Transfer Safe for Casino Payments?

Rapid Transfer uses your bank’s own security and login checks, so the casino never gets your card details or banking login. Skrill says it doesn’t store your online banking details.

Why Does a Rapid Transfer Payment Fail?

A Rapid Transfer payment can fail when the casino hasn’t switched Rapid Transfer on, your bank isn’t one of the connected banks, the account isn’t in your name, there isn’t enough money in it, or you’ve hit a casino deposit limit.

Problem Who to contact
Rapid Transfer isn’t in the cashier The casino
Your bank isn’t on the list Nobody: choose another method
The account isn’t in your name Nobody: use an account in your own name
Not enough money in the account Your bank, if the balance looks wrong
A casino deposit limit The casino
The money left your bank, but the casino shows nothing Your bank, then the casino

The Casino Hasn’t Switched On Rapid Transfer

A casino has to be onboarded with Skrill before it can take Rapid Transfer. If you can’t find it in the cashier, ask the casino.

Your Bank Isn’t on Rapid Transfer’s List

Rapid Transfer connects to more than 170 banks. If yours isn’t offered when you choose your bank, use another payment method.

The Bank Account Isn’t in Your Name

Skrill can refuse a payment when you aren’t the named holder of the bank account. Pay from an account in your own name.

There Isn’t Enough Money in the Account

Skrill can also refuse a payment that’s likely to fail, for example when there isn’t enough money in the account.

You’ve Hit a Casino Deposit Limit

If the cashier says you’ve reached a deposit limit, contact the casino.

What If Rapid Transfer Took the Money but the Casino Shows Nothing?

Your bank makes the transfer, within the timeframes you’ve agreed with it. If the money has left your account and the casino still shows nothing, tell your bank as soon as possible: Skrill’s terms say a payment you didn’t authorise, or one that went wrong, should be reported to the bank you paid from. Then contact the casino with the date and amount.
