PayPal Casinos

Note: US players cannot use PayPal to make online casino payments.

PayPal is one of the major players in the online payment processing industry. PayPal was originally designed to transfer money between PDAs (handheld computers), but soon enough it was used to make online money transfers between private accounts and to online merchants. In 2002 eBay bought PayPal and made it its preferred payment method, as already 50% of their customers were using PayPal.

As many people are satisfied and familiar with PayPal’s services, online gamblers from around the world are looking for PayPal casinos. Unfortunately PayPal does only process gambling related payments for a very select number of countries. PayPal gambling is not available for US, Canadian and Australian online casino players. There are PayPal casinos for UK online gamblers. Because PayPal doesn’t allow gambling transactions for so many countries, there is no real need for casinos to offer it as a payment option. That is why, even though PayPal gambling is available for UK players, there are not many PayPal casinos available.    

If you are looking for a widely accepted e-Wallet payment solution, we advise you to take a look at our in-depth article on Moneybookers casinos. This method is only slightly different from PayPal, but it is available to players from all over the world (including the US). If you can use PayPal for online gambling and are happy to play at the PayPal casinos listed below here, please read on for further info.

Regular e-Wallets require you to fund your account before you can make deposits or online purchases. PayPal is different because it is directly connected your credit card, debit card, or bank account. You don’t have to make a deposit to start using PayPal.

Registering a PayPal account is done in approximately five minutes. You go to the website, fill in your personal details, and connect a payment option to your PayPal account. In case of a bank account PayPal will send you a small sum of money. Once received you enter this into your PayPal account to verify your banking details.   

When you deposit money at a PayPal casino, the money appears in your casino account immediately. PayPal will debit the money from your preferred payment option later. In case of a bank account this may take 2 to 3 business days, in case of a credit card this is done immediately. Making deposits to PayPal casinos is always free of charge. Withdrawals made from your casino account to your PayPal account are mostly free of charge and are processed within one business day.

Once the money is in your PayPal account you can transfer it to your bank account using a fast withdrawal option or a regular electronic bank transfer. The faster option is charged with a £5.00 flat fee. The regular electronic bank transfer is free of charge and takes 2 to 3 business days. It is not possible to withdraw funds to your debit card or credit card.
