Using PayPal to Gamble Online
Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009PayPal is one of the most popular e-wallets available for use online and is the preferred choice because of its reputation, security and ease of transactions. The one problem with PayPal has been their anti-gambling stance which has made it very difficult for online poker, casino or bingo rooms to accept PayPal payments even though the majority of online gamblers do have a PayPal account. Well this problem has recently changed with many online poker rooms, casino rooms and bingo rooms allowing PayPal deposits for specific countries.
Some of the emerging PayPal poker rooms include Pacific Poker, Betfair Poker, Paddy Power Poker, Ladbrokes Poker, William Hill Poker and Party Poker. Even though these poker rooms are allowing PayPal deposits they are only from a select few countries in Europe.
Some of the PayPal casino rooms include William Hill Casino, 888 Casino, Paddy Power Casino and Betfair Casino. A lot of these casino’s also own PayPal bingo rooms that include Ladbrokes Bingo, William Hill Bingo, Paddy Power Bingo and Tombola Bingo.
At most of the sites mentioned above the minimum PayPal deposit is around €10 and the fact that these sites are now accepting PayPal will surely set them apart from the competition. PayPal is such an easy to use online payment method and it is nice to see the gambling industry starting to incorporate PayPal into their plans. Hopefully in the future more online gambling sites will start to accept PayPal and a larger list of countries will be on the accepted list.
