PayPal Casinos – which live casino and what countries

All online casinos accept a bunch off different deposit options, but only a handful take PayPal.

What’s special about PayPal?

There are hundreds of virtual wallet services out there, so why single-out PayPal?

Because they are undoubtedly the biggest and arguably the best.

PayPal started processing online transactions back in 2000.   By 2008 they were processing around $60 billion in transactions, equating to almost 10% of total global e-commerce.  Their size and old-age (in Internet terms) means that:

1. they are the world’s most widely accepted (non-credit card) online payment method;
2. they have more users than any other virtual wallet service; and
3. their service is more comprehensive than any other virtual wallet service.

They process payments and hold funds in 24 currencies, have an in-house dispute resolution service that quickly and effectively deals with payment issues arising between members and their online service is simple and intuitive to use.  They are also secure.

Why don’t all casinos offer PayPal?

PayPal is pretty selective with who it chooses to do business with in the online gambling space so while all online casinos would dearly love to be able to offer PayPal, only a few have satisfied PayPal’s audit/selection process.  Their very selective policy stems from the fact that they are a large US based corporation (eBay subsidiary headquartered in Palo Alto, Californian) and current US legislation prohibits facilitation of payments between US residents and online gambling operators.

They ceased all online gambling related business back in 2006 when UIGEA was passed, and have slowly and carefully been adding the larger European based operators during the last couple of years.
