Just wondering if anyone knows whether Paypal is an accepted method of payment to online gambling companies? I don't have much experience of online gambling as I dont feel happy giving credit card details to the companies. I do have a Paypal account though and wonder whether this may be an option?

Perhaps I should have read the fine print on my account before asking. Makes sense really as it takes for ever to transfer money from my paypal account to my bank account and vice versa.
Credit cards are the only real option then.

I know that paypal don't allow this as part of their terms and conditions but I have seen on some sites that people openly seek to exchange cash through paypal so that they can continue betting. Apparently the two people involved agree a charge then the deal is done.
I don't know exactly how it works and to be honest think the risks involved are way to high! Plus of course it is illegal as far as paypal are concerned.

That sounds dicey, to say the least. I do not think anyone should attempt to walk down that road.
Most sites are fairly secure - so using a credit card should not be a problem.
If paypal finds out - then they may freeze your account - so that may be a bigger disaster

I wonder why they do not let gamble through paypal while all other payment processor have not problem with that. That would also help them for sure? Dont you think so?

I actually feel comfortable when it comes to paypal and their practices. I like the fact that they are safe. That makes me feel more comfortable when it comes to intrusting them with my money.
