Skinner now has until January 3 to respond to the charge with a hearing due eight days later.
The Dons director isn’t the first to fall foul of the SFA betting rules.
Former Rangers midfield man Ian Black was banned for 10 games, with seven suspended, for betting against his own team in September 2013.
His ex-Ibrox team-mate Steve Simonsen, Ayr’s Michael Moffat and Partick Thistle’s Steven Lawless have also been banned.
Joey Barton has been suspended in Scotland and England for breaching betting rules, receiving a one-game ban north of the border and 13 months down south to effectively end his career.

The Dons will learn their fate over the plans when they go before Aberdeen City Council on Monday, January 29.
