Skrill Registration 101

Let’s start with the super simple stuff, yeah? There’s no sense complicating things too quickly, so we’ll just work our way down the list of questions above. Don’t worry, you’ll be registered in no time.

Skrill Registration Step-by-Step

The process of registering on Skrill looks like this:

1. Navigate to the Skrill homepage.
2. Select "Register" in the top right-hand corner.
3. Fill out the information for your account (name, address, email, password, etc.)
4. Complete a captcha (unless you're a bot...)
5. Click "Register" and check the box, and you'll be taken to the next menu where you will:
   • Fill out your permanent residence's address
   • Date of birth
   • Phone number
6. Success! You now have an (unverified) Skrill account.

After all of this is done, we highly recommend that you verify your account. Doing so with Volume Kings takes a matter of maybe five minutes and gets you verified within a quarter of the time. Seriously - think about it.

Where is My Skrill Account Number (ID)?

If you’re trying to attach your Skrill account to another online service (like VolumeKings), you’ll need to find your Skrill ID number. This is one of those things that are not explicitly stated in any clear place, so it can be hard to find. Don’t worry - we’ve got you covered.  To locate your Skrill ID number, complete the following steps:

1. Log into your Skrill account.
2. Select "Settings" as pictured below.
3. Verify your Skrill account (optional)
4. Click "Personal Details"
5. Look at your name at the top - the number below this is your Skrill account number
6. Success!

And that’s that! Easy as pie, and it only takes a couple of clicks.

Skrill Joining Bonus

Unfortunately, Skrill doesn't offer a joining bonus - however, that doesn't mean that you can't still get one. You see, Volume Kings is a proud partner of Skrill and has been for quite some time. As such, we've found a way to let our users get more out of Skrill in the form of reduced fees, higher account limits, and lightning-quick (and free!) verification.

While Skrill doesn't offer a joining bonus, VK users can get a number of handy perks with one simple process.

Let's take a peek, yeah?

Skrill & Volume Kings Sign Up Bonus

This is the best part of the whole article - this is where you get rewarded for just... using Skrill as usual. Copy the account number we discussed above and complete the following steps:

1. Head here and click "Get Your Free Skrill VIP Account Now"
2. Select "Upgrade an existing Skrill account" and click "Next"
3. Take your copied Skrill account ID and paste it into the form, followed by the same email you used for Skrill.
   • Using a different email will cause this process to fail.
   • Click here if you don't know where to find your account ID.
4. Sign up for a VK account. This requires:
   • Your first and last name
   • The previously mentioned email
   • A (secure) password
   • To select your country of residence and preferred language
   • No more than five minutes of your time
5. Success! Now you get a handful of awesome perks!

So... why exactly did we do this? Because we love free things, duh! This process gets you access to the following:

1. Free Skrill Fast Silver VIP
2. Fast verification: 12 hours vs. 2-5 business days
3. Free verification: vs €5
4. Discounted currency exchange: 2.89% vs. 3.99%
5. Free P2P Transactions
6. Discounted Skrill Silver VIP: €5,000 vs €15,000

What Do I Need to Create a Skrill Account?

Luckily, Skrill accounts are actually surprisingly quick and easy to get set up. That’s because Skrill registration is free and super accessible - all you need is a functioning phone number and email address. You’ll also need to pass a (quick) verification process and provide $5 as a deposit.

How Old Do You Have to Be to Use Skrill?

This is a short and sweet answer. 

In order to use Skrill, you need to be a legal citizen of your country and at least eighteen (18) years of age.

Head here to see Skrill’s Terms of Use. That link goes to the UK terms of use, so be sure to select your country in the tab at the top in between the “Business” and “Help” buttons (shown below).

Do You Need a Bank Account for Skrill?

In short, no! There’s a bit more to discuss, so don’t move on quite yet, okay?

Skrill (as you likely know) functions as a digital wallet service. As such, you need some way in which Skrill can access your funds. This means that you’ll need a credit card or bank account attached to your account in order to use Skrill to exchange funds. What the best choice for you, specifically is obviously going to vary, which is why Skrill offers several options with which to exchange funds.

Do You Need a Credit Card for Skrill?

Just as with the section above, there are a couple of options available to add or withdraw funds through Skrill. While you certainly can attach a credit card to your Skrill wallet, it’s also entirely possible to attach a bank account to your Skrill wallet if you’d prefer.

Do You Need ID For Skrill?

We discussed the full registration process above, but if you happened to skip that little bit, the answer is yes - you’ll need an ID to register for Skrill.

However, this can vary a bit, depending on what you have available. Acceptable forms of official identification include:

• Passport
• Government-issued ID
• Driver's license

You’ll also need proof of address, which is usually a utility bill paid in the past three months or through verification with your bank account (if you chose to attach one).

Conclusion

All in all, registering for Skrill is quite simple. It requires only a few very basic things, such as a phone number and email address, name (you definitely have that), a valid government-issued ID, and proof of address - usually a recently paid bill.

It'll take you a matter of minutes to register, and connecting Skrill to Volume Kings offers loads of ways to fast-track all of your favourite Skrill VIP features.

Now go make yourself a drink and turn the game on; it's been a long day.
