Skrill (formally Moneybookers) is an e-wallet. Similar to PayPal, which I suppose you're more likely to have heard of, but in many ways a better account for people wanting to have a go at matched betting.
The main pro of using an e-wallet over your normal bank account is that it separates the betting from day to day life. There are plenty of benefits to that, but the main one is that you're not going to be missing your rent come the end of the month when you've put too much on a bet (regardless of whether it's come in or not that's annoying!).
Actually scratch that, the best thing is you'll have your money in and out of the bookmakers much quicker using Skrill than you with if you're using debit or credit cards. That's a massive advantage if you're starting with a small float.
I've covered off the benefits of Skrill's VIP programme in the blog, but it's worth restating here as well. Become a Skrill VIP and you'll get additional security of your funds, lower transaction fees and cashback as well. It really is a no brainer.
Add in the new rules regarding lending and anyone depositing, or even withdrawing, from a bookmaker with their current account will find getting credit that much harder in future.
