E-Wallet
Stored-value accounts (Skrill, NETELLER and kin) — gambling's historical payment workhorse for speed and card-block avoidance.
E-wallets intermediate deposits and withdrawals with instant internal transfers, their gambling-friendliness having built substantial businesses (and VIP schemes) on the vertical.
Current position
Still strong where cards block or banks frown, but squeezed by open-banking rails (cheaper, no wallet-loading step) and local APMs; some regulated markets restrict wallet anonymity features or credit-funded gambling paths. Fee structures (loading, FX, inactivity) make wallets expensive plumbing for casual users. For bonuses, wallet deposits are classically excluded from welcome offers — a fraud-control legacy affiliates should footnote in offer tables.
