Have you ever wondered how the internet has changed our lives forever? And how it took over all kinds of fields and businesses?
Gambling is sure one of the greatest industries that were affected by the prevalence of the Internet, and soon enough, Online Gambling was born to satisfy gambling lovers’ needs and wildest desires’.
Years ago, when online use was still not at its peak, people took their precautions and would not even consider spending their money online. However, things have changed today. Online Gambling gained a good reputation; it became legal in many countries (Some provinces in Canada, European Unions and different nations in the Caribbean). And guess what? It is just as thrilling as real gambling, and definitely just as safe.
However, the question of the payment method always raises itself. What is the best way to handle the payments and, most importantly, what is the most secure one?
You sure can be exposed to a lot of options when it comes to that. Each method of payment offers different service and charge differently. Some casinos accept them, while some do not. So what’s the best you can find out there? Let me help you out:
One of the most effective methods that people have decided to trust is PayPal. PayPal is a virtual account that you can fund through your bank. Throughout the years, it was proven to be the most suitable way to send and receive money virtually
PayPal came to existence because of the good bond it had with eBay. It holds around 200 million users all over the world, and thanks to its strong track record, its astronomical user base, and various security measures, it quickly made its way through to become one of the most major Payment Internet Companies. It currently works with 25 different countries and has sites in more than 180 countries.
The advantages to PayPal services can be linked to different major features, features that clients find necessary to process:
NB: PayPal has some disadvantages for gamblers though, it is not available in all countries and not all Online Casinos accept PayPal.
It is important to bring to your knowledge that PayPal itself has distinct services and it is up to the customer to choose the service that suits them the best, for instance: (PayPal Access Card and PayPal. Me)
In the table below, you can take a look at other PayPal services and what they offer to their respected clients:
PayPal Me | PayPal App | PayPal e-Wallet | PayPal Access Card | Bussiness Solutions |
Available in more tahn 18 countries | It allows gamblers to send and receive payments via a phone number or and a PIN | Pay online using just a username and a password. | Allow payments like a normal debit card | Receive payments via online stores |

Payment is available from one to another | It organizes credits cards, debit cards and bank accounts in just a single online space | A MasterCard debit that is linked to the PayPal e-Wallet | Get payments in store |
First and foremost, because it is known for its good reputation and great services, PayPal is quite strict and picky with the casinos it works with. As a matter of fact, it avoids getting involved with bad reputed casinos (usually the ones who cause problems or receive a lot of complaints).
In addition to that, PayPal does not allow its service to be used by old casinos, and that is why you should be reassured when you find a PayPal method used by an online casino, this is good news, and it can only mean one thing: The site is pretty good and reliable.
After having done that, you just need to be careful with the following points:
Unfortunately, US gamblers have been struggling with some issues for some time now. The Federal limitations on gambling make it difficult for gamblers to play. The federal legislations shackle US banks from dealing with gambling matters.
So, gamblers are not able to use PayPal for online gambling. The question for many is, will PayPal going to be willing to include US players as clients?
It is a question that only time can answer.
