| Using PayPal on gaming sites Funding your reloads or new deposits.... Here is the updated section of PayPal's User Agreement effective January 22, 2009 (yep, from the fine print). "Prohibited Activities You may not use the PayPal service for activities that: "5. involve gambling, gaming and/or any other activity with an entry fee and a prize, including, but not limited to casino games, sports betting, horse or greyhound racing, lottery tickets, other ventures that facilitate gambling, games of skill (whether or not it is legally defined as a lottery) and sweepstakes unless the operator has obtained prior approval from PayPal and the operator and customers are located exclusively in jurisdictions where such activities are permitted by law."" |

| Yeah, I never read the Paypal agreement in detail, but I thought they always had a policy of not allowing any poker site use their service. |

One word of caution on eBay though. PayPal is owned by eBay and they both favor the buyer in dispute cases. Unlike most credit card processing companies, PayPal can and does deduct a buyer dispute amount immediately from a seller account. You then have 7 days to provide whatever documentation they demand and 30 days to reinstate your positive balance if the dispute amount caused your balance to fall below -0-. ('restoring' your account, as they call it) Chargebacks and dispute claims are also part of PayPal's reporting practices to credit reporting agencies. Please, for your own sake, READ the entire PayPal User Agreement. It also has extensive sections regarding eBay transactions. |

| paypal for depositing in poker sites would make things so much easier. that way we could sell crap on ebay, get paid for it, and go straight to playing some poker! haha at least that is what i would do, i had been hoping they became an option at some point but looks like that aint gonna happen |

| It appears that my post was deleted, maybe because I mentioned a site that does not sponsor this board. There is one way to use PayPal to play online poker for money, though not at the usual pure-poker sites. Last edited by juiceeQ : 22nd February 2009 at 9:34 PM. Reason: removed email address |

| re: Using PayPal on gaming sites poker I think paypal is a great way to fund a gaming site...anyone can make an account and anyone can fund it via their bank account. It's only funded when it clears whereas others will give you credit up to 100dollars which can lead to bounced checks...bad Karma there. |
