Skrill 1-Tap

Short version: Skrill 1-Tap isn’t a separate payment method — it’s a feature of Skrill. It’s a quick-deposit setting within the Skrill e-wallet that lets you repeat deposits with a single tap, instead of re-entering your Skrill login every time. If you already use Skrill (which is available in New Zealand), 1-Tap simply makes topping up faster. Everything else about Skrill still applies.
It is written to inform, not to promote. Nothing here recommends gambling or any particular operator. “Skrill” is used for identification only.

What Skrill 1-Tap Actually Is
It helps to be clear on this, because “Skrill 1-Tap” is often listed as if it were its own payment method — it isn’t. Skrill is the payment method: an international e-wallet you fund from your bank or card and then use to pay casinos, keeping your bank details off the gambling site. Skrill 1-Tap is just a convenience feature layered on top of Skrill. The first time you deposit with Skrill at a given casino, you can enable 1-Tap; after that, the casino “remembers” your Skrill details, and future deposits take a single tap — no need to type your Skrill username and password each time.
So there’s nothing separate to sign up for. If you have Skrill, you have access to 1-Tap.
How It Works
The flow is simple:
At the casino cashier, choose Skrill 1-Tap (or enable 1-Tap the first time you deposit with Skrill).Enter the amount and confirm — the first time, you log in to Skrill and approve.After that, each future deposit is a single tap to confirm.
You stay in control: you can ask any casino to “forget” your Skrill details at any time, which switches 1-Tap off at that site. It works across your devices, and it’s deposit-side — withdrawals still go back to your Skrill wallet in the usual way.
Is It Available to NZ Players?
Yes — unlike some payment names you’ll see on casino lists, Skrill is available in New Zealand, so where a casino offers Skrill, the 1-Tap feature generally comes with it. That makes this genuinely usable for Kiwi players, provided the casino supports Skrill. For the full picture of how Skrill works — funding, fees, withdrawals — see our main Skrill page; this page is really just about the one-tap shortcut.
One Thing to Keep in Mind
The whole point of 1-Tap is that depositing becomes very fast — a single tap. That’s convenient, but it also removes a small moment of friction that can otherwise prompt a pause. So it’s worth setting your own deposit limits first, so speed doesn’t turn into spending more than you intended. Skrill also offers a gambling-block tool in-app if you’d like an extra control layer.
Playing From New Zealand
Whatever method you choose, the operator behind it matters most. From 1 December 2026, under the Online Casino Gambling Act 2026, only operators licensed by the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) may lawfully offer online casino games to New Zealanders — so check the operator’s licensing status before funding an account. All online gambling is strictly R18. Our casino bonuses guide explains how offers work.
Staying in Control: Responsible Play in Aotearoa
Whichever method you use, set deposit limits before you play, and never gamble with money you can’t afford to lose. Regulated operators must provide control tools such as deposit limits, reality checks and self-exclusion.

Is Skrill 1-Tap a different payment method from Skrill?
No. It’s a feature within Skrill — a way to repeat deposits with a single tap once you’ve set it up. The underlying payment method is still the Skrill e-wallet.
Do I need a separate account for Skrill 1-Tap?
No. You just need a Skrill account. You enable 1-Tap the first time you deposit with Skrill at a casino, and it applies to future deposits there until you turn it off.
Can NZ players use Skrill 1-Tap?
Yes, where the casino supports Skrill. Skrill is available in New Zealand, so the 1-Tap shortcut generally comes with it. It’s for deposits; withdrawals return to your Skrill wallet.
How do I turn Skrill 1-Tap off?
You can ask the casino to “forget” your Skrill details, which deactivates 1-Tap at that site. You can do this at any time, and it doesn’t affect using Skrill normally elsewhere.
Where can I get help if gambling becomes a problem?
Free, confidential support is available in New Zealand through the Gambling Helpline Aotearoa on 0800 654 655. Support is available at any time, and you do not need to be in crisis to reach out.
