PayPal – The New Online Poker Deposit Option?

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

PayPal has always had a strict no gambling policy, but it seems like more and more online poker rooms are starting to accept PayPal as a deposit option.  There are of course restrictions, like in order to deposit with PayPal players must reside in only a handful of European Countries, such as Denmark, Finland and Spain to name a few.  Also, there are only a few poker rooms that are currently being dubbed PayPal poker rooms because they are one of a few that accepts the convenient payment option.

Some of the poker rooms that do accept PayPal as a deposit option include Ladbrokes Poker , Pacific Poker, Betfair Poker, Paddy Power Poker, William Hill Poker and Party Poker.  One correlation that you can immediately see for these poker rooms is that they don’t accept US based poker players.  This is likely a very big reason why Paypal has decided to work with them and allow the deposits to their gambling site.

Poker rooms aren’t the only ones adopting Paypal as a payment option though.  There has also been an emergence of PayPal casino and PayPal bingo rooms as well.  Some rooms that fall into these categories include Paddy Power Casino , William Hill Casino, 888 Casino and Betfair Casino, Ladbrokes Bingo, William Hill Bingo, Paddy Power Bingo and Tombola Bingo.

It is great to see ties emerging between Paypal, one of the best e-wallets online today, and many of the best poker, casino and bingo rooms for European players.  Hopefully this trend can continue and the Paypal gambling relationship can continue to branch out giving more players the easy Paypal deposit option.
