Have in mind that Visa® and Mastercard® have different requirements and impose different limitations in terms of gambling transactions. 

Visa® Deposits

Funds deposited with Visa® for gambling purposes can be used for all transaction types and there are no restrictions on their usage.

Money deposited for non-gambling purposes can be used for anything but paying to gambling merchants online. If you send this money to other people via Skrill, they’d be able to use them as they wish, including paying on betting, poker, and casino sites.

Mastercard® Deposits

Funds, deposited with Mastercard® for gambling purposes can be used for most transaction types, including transfers to selected gambling merchants from this list. Such funds cannot be used for withdrawals to NETELLER and to a crypto wallet, for paying non-gambling merchants, or gambling merchants that are not on the list.

Money deposited for non-gambling purposes cannot be used for merchant transfers of any type.

If you send money uploaded with Mastercard®, regardless of their purpose of deposit, to other people via Skrill, they’d be able to use it as they wish, including paying on betting, poker, and casino sites, forex, and non-gambling merchants.
