I've been to plenty of sites and I've never seen pay pal at any. I don't think they're into it. Check out their site and ask support.

I wish they did cause of all the Ebaying I have done. I personally have had no problems what so ever using Paypal.

Then again I am sure that those poker sites wouldn't appreciate the idea of say a customer doing a chargeback per say they lost to a bad beat. Cause when there is no proof of delivering a product and the customer complains. He/she can attempt to do a chargeback.

I would suggest neteller to all that want to play at online casinos. I have found them to be the quickest to get my winnings to me.

The problem isn't the site's willing to accept paypal it is PayPal that no longer accepts transactions from internet gaming sites. I am sure the sites would love it if PayPal came back around to their senses but that doesn't appear likely till the US embraces online gaming. So the answer is NO there are no online gaming sites that you can use PayPal on

xdmanx007 is right. Paypal stopped taking the transactions because nearly all U.S. based bank credit cards will not accept charges from online gaming. If the credit card won't take the charge, Paypal won't.

Yes, they could have just held out because Paypal allows use of your checking account for payments, but I think they just wanted the easiest way to deal with things and treat all of their customers the same.

As far as I'm concerned, NetTeller is definitely the way to go.

Yes but Paypal is the Global Leader in Online Payments. Also Owned by the #1 Auction Internet Site, Ebay. I would personally go with the site that is much more trusted and #1 then netteller. Paypal processes within 2-3 days compared to a week as well. Even charges less per transaction then Netteller. Paypal also lets them recieve payments in 6 currencies.

PayPal account holders transact an average of over $5.6 billion USD through PayPal every quarter. That's $2 million USD per hour, and $48 million USD a day. Plus, over $750 million USD is stored in PayPal accounts, which is turned over every two weeks. Stored balances encourage impulse purchases and increased buying.

Since PayPal is an easy and secure way to pay, seeing the PayPal payment option during checkout increases buyer confidence and improves sales conversion.

In fact, over 80% of Paypal users say they're more likely to buy from an online business a second time if that business accepts PayPal.*


No extra fees
PayPal doesn't charge the extra fees that you might have with a merchant account, like setup fees, monthly fees, and gateway fees.


No obligation
Our fees are only applied when you receive money, and you're never under any obligation to use PayPal. A typical merchant account may require a six-month commitment or longer.


Chargeback protection
We fight chargebacks on your behalf. In addition, on qualifying transactions, PayPal's Seller Protection Policy shields you from liability that you may be exposed to with a typical merchant account.


Accept payments immediately
Sign up for a PayPal Premier or Business account and start receiving payments today -- no lengthy application process.

What I am going to guess is that the poker sites don't like getting the transaction fees cause Paypal doesn't fee the buyer, they fee the merchant. Which is actually cheaper anyway.

There is the diffrence..Netteller has this, Guaranteed funds from all NETELLER deposits - you will never recieve a chargeback from NETELLER!

Hate to prove them wrong but a chargeback can be done and completed but that is a diffrent story all in itself.

Most sites pay Neteller's tranfer fees. Very hard to argue that it would be nice for PayPal to get back on the online gaming wagon. Ebay owns PayPal now and they don't want to piss off the american government. You make all valid points but don't expect PayPal to deal with poker sites anytime soon. Now if you take advantage of some of the features of Neteller you won't be paying any service fees. Neteller is licensed bank in the UK so feel secure in using them.

Oh don't get me wrong Paypal has its con's as well just like the chargeback.. what both sites don't mention about those chargebacks is that you can do it directly through your credit card and not the site itself. I don't know how Netteller does its chargebacks but you can do a chargeback directly through paypal instead of your credit card. I am going to interpret that is what Netteller means when you'll never recieve a chargeback from Netteller. Oh by the way being a 3 year seasoned veteran on Ebay and learning alot from thier discussion boards. I do accept Paypal from my buyers. I trust more about Paypal then I do about Netteller. Probably why I sway more towards Paypal cause I have never had a problem doing business with them.

Once eBay purchased PayPal, they cut out all online gambling revenue, which was something like 20% of their total revenue. A tough hit, but eBay didn't want to deal with any letters from the government showing up. While players would certainly trust PayPal or visa or mastercard more than Neteller, the fact is the U.S. goverment is putting pressure on those companies to not accept online gambling revenue in an attempt to curb online gambling from U.S. citizens.

So, to answer the original question, there are no sites that accept PayPal as a payment source because PayPal won't deal with online gambling.

Paypal ripped me off $240

Sold an old Notre Dame Playbook....Buyer claimed he did not get it.

I gave the tracking number and a copy of the signed receipt showing he recieved it to paypal. They took the money out of my account.
