Does Skrill ALWAYS require ID verification before making you a true skriller?

BigDrako · Apr 16, 2025

While making an account with my real identity.... Skrill didn't make me verify with ID. After depositing money with my credit card it was automatically made True Skriller.

But when I made an account with someone else's name (used new device, location, IP etc.), simply depositing money didn't make my account a true skriller. They asked for ID verification.

Anyone understands why Skrill sometimes requires identity verification and other times it doesn't?

Just like most money processors, they have their own algo to detect and ask for IDs whenever they consider/detect it suitable,
It could be the account details, IP, device fingerprints, etc... that triggered their algo for the second account

Skrill’s KYC triggers are inconsistent but mostly behavior-based. When you use your real info + card in your name, it likely matches public records, so their system flags it as low-risk and skips manual review.

It looks like Skrill’s system flags accounts as higher risk if you use a new name, device, or IP, prompting ID verification. When you use your real identity, they might skip it since they already have some info on you. It’s about security, but their process isn’t always consistent.

Skrill does not always require ID verification before granting True Skriller status, but it is typically required as part of the process to unlock the full benefits of this account level.

The card I used on the first account wasn't in my name and they still made me true skriller

Their system looks at the full picture — data consistency, card history, IP, device, user behavior. If it all looks like a legit user, they can auto-upgrade without docs. But if anything feels off — new name, unfamiliar IP, new device — it usually triggers manual verification.

As someone else already pointed out, it's just a matter of the algorithm. They keep in consideration HUNDREDS of factors, from the most obvious such as IP, to the less obvious such as screen-size, device model, UDP, and so many more.
