What Neteller is

Neteller describes itself as a digital wallet. You hold a balance in your account, add money to it from another source, and use it to pay merchants, including some online casinos. Its website says it is powered by Paysafe, and that Paysafe Financial Services Limited is authorised by the UK Financial Conduct Authority under the Electronic Money Regulations 2011. Neteller is also a sister brand of Skrill.

How to deposit with Neteller

1. Open a Neteller account and add money to it. The funding options are listed on the Neteller fees page and depend on where you live.
2. Open the casino cashier and choose Neteller as the deposit method.
3. Enter the amount and log in to Neteller to approve the payment.
4. The money is added to your casino balance once the casino confirms it.

Neteller's homepage says paying a merchant with Neteller is free. Fees can still apply when you add money to the wallet or take it out (see below).

Withdrawals

Deposit and withdrawal support differs from casino to casino. The list above shows which casinos record Neteller, and our casino reviews show whether it is open for deposits, withdrawals or both. Check the cashier before you sign up.

Once money is in your Neteller wallet, Neteller's fees page lists ways to take it out, including a bank transfer, a Visa or Mastercard, a transfer to Skrill, and money transfer.

Gambling settings and card rules

Neteller has some features aimed at gambling, and it is worth knowing about them.

• Gambling block. In your settings you can turn on a gambling block under spending control. It declines transactions coded as gambling merchants. Neteller says it does not cover card deposits marked for gambling, payouts from gambling merchants, or recurring payments you set up earlier. Turning it off has a 48-hour cool-down.
• Deposit purpose. When you top up by card, you say whether the money is for gambling. This cannot be changed once the money is in your balance, and money marked as non-gambling cannot be sent to gambling merchants.
• Card restrictions. Neteller says credit cards issued in the UK or Australia cannot be used for gambling, and its card FAQ lists rules for other countries too. Check the current rules for your card.

Fees and limits

The figures below come from the Neteller fees page at the time of writing. They can change and may vary by country and account type, so check the current page before you add or withdraw money.

• Adding money. Most methods, including Visa and Mastercard, are listed at 2.5%. Other methods are listed at different rates.
• Withdrawals. Listed fees include 10 USD for a bank transfer and 3.49% for a transfer to Skrill. Withdrawals to merchant sites are listed at 0%, subject to limits.
• Currency conversion. A foreign exchange fee of up to 3.99% is listed for standard accounts.
• Inactivity. No fee applies if you log in or make a transaction at least once every six months. After that a monthly fee of 5 USD, or the equivalent, is taken from your balance.

Neteller says minimum and maximum withdrawal limits apply. Check your account for the limits that apply to you, and the casino's cashier for its own minimum and maximum amounts.

• Withdrawal support. Confirm the casino pays out to Neteller, not just accepts it for deposits.
• Bonus terms. Read the bonus terms before you deposit. Our bonuses page explains what to look for.
• Fees and limits. Check the Neteller fees page and the casino's own limits.
• Other options. Compare Skrill, Paysafecard and Trustly, or see all banking methods.
