As mentioned in the introduction, PayPal’s continued popularity can be attributed to its commitment to security. It has very strict terms and conditions that all users have to follow. Businesses have to provide a safe environment for PayPal users to continue accessing PayPal as a payment service, and the rules are even stricter for live casinos. They have to prove that they are a legitimate and licensed operation before accessing PayPal’s 361 million users.
As such, users feel safe when they play live games and online casinos which offer PayPal as a deposit/withdrawal method. Being a PayPal partner is almost considered an unofficial badge of safety and quality for online casinos.
Depositing with PayPal is a straightforward process. First, users need to ensure the casino supports PayPal as a deposit method. Most, if not all, online casinos will show the payment methods that their platform supports on their homepage.
Users then need to register an account with the casino. This will include a payment section where a member has to choose from the supported payment and withdrawal methods. Once PayPal is selected as the deposit method, the user will be redirected to PayPal’s login page to input their login credentials (email and password) and confirm their identity.
Once this is successful, all the user has to do is choose PayPal as their preferred deposit method and choose a deposit amount that can be fulfilled by their PayPal balance and/or the payment cards linked to their PayPal. This amount will then be credited to their casino account within minutes.
Depositing with PayPal at Live Casinos
It is possible to link a bank account to a PayPal account only if the user has an account with a US-based bank. Once linked, funds can be transferred easily and almost instantaneously between the bank and PayPal accounts. Despite its global presence, it is impossible to link a non-American account with PayPal. Users outside the US can still link their PayPal with their preferred Credit/Debit card.
Making a direct deposit from PayPal to live dealer online casinos is easy once the PayPal and casino accounts are linked. Then it becomes a matter of choosing the deposit option on the casino dashboard or mobile app screen and selecting PayPal as the preferred deposit method. Within minutes, the funds should be reflected in the casino account.
PayPal has transaction limits to protect its users and to promote responsible gambling. Users with unverified PayPal accounts have a transaction limit of $500 per month. Users with verified PayPal accounts have a transaction limit of $10,000 per month, with a single transaction limit of $5,000.
