Online Casinos and PayPal Deposits

E-mail Print PDF
For the most part, what casino players find is that online casinos do not have PayPal as a payment option. While in some cases this is because of the security criticisms that a lot of online casinos have for PayPal, at the same time one can argue that most casinos would jump at the chance of using PayPal as a casino deposit method if given the chance considering the rather large number of people that use PayPal on a daily basis. In most cases, what stops the casinos from being able to do this is the fact that PayPal has policies that end up preventing most online casinos from utilizing them as a payment option. At the current moment, there are really only two ways to get around this.

Online Poker

The first method is to make use of the online casinos that are affiliated with online poker websites that accept PayPal as a payment method. Specifically, these two PayPal poker websites are Betfair Poker and Ladbrokes Poker, both of which are part of larger networks that offer online casino gaming as well as online poker gaming. Both also have sportsbooks and it is possible to get money transferred back and forth between the different parts of the network once it has made it way into one of your real money accounts. Theoretically, it should be possible to make a deposit into either Betfair Poker or Ladbrokes Poker and then transfer that money to each poker website’s respective casino sister site. While it works in theory, you will need to try it out personally to see if it is a good solution for you.

You are somewhat lucky in the use of this method because both Betfair and Ladbrokes have excellent online casino services that you can make use of if it turns out that this method is acceptable to you as a regular funding method.

Third Party

The second way to go about using PayPal as a payment method is to take a look at the online casinos that accept payment methods that themselves can be funded through the use of your PayPal account. In other words, you open an account with something like an online prepaid debit or credit card that is accepted at the casino that you want to deposit into. However, for this to work, you need to make sure that your online payment method can be funded through PayPal. A good example of a service that works in this way would be the Wired Plastic Card, which can be used at online casinos and is also PayPal friendly for deposit onto the card. Once you have a card like that, simply load it with PayPal and then transfer from the card to the casino and then back again.

This method is a bit more involved but at the same time allows you more freedom of mobility in the poker rooms that you can play at. Examples of casinos that are added to the list with this method are Golden Casino, Silver Dollar Casino and Super Slots Casino, two of which are friendly to American players. Of course, any casino that allows a payment method fundable by PayPal is potentially good when using this method, so the sky’s the limit if you feel like getting creative.
