Using PayPal for Live Dealer Blackjack

PayPal is an e-wallet that lets you pay without giving the casino your card or bank details. Few live blackjack casinos accept it, because PayPal only allows gambling payments to merchants it has approved. This guide covers how it works and where it may not be available.

What PayPal is and how it works at live casinos

PayPal holds your payment details. You pay from your PayPal balance, bank account or a linked card, and the casino does not see those details.

PayPal’s Acceptable Use Policy says gambling payments are only allowed with merchants it has approved. In practice, few casinos offer PayPal, and it is not offered to players in every country. LCB’s data shows it is not available to Australian players at the casinos we review. Check the casino list on this page and the casino’s cashier before you rely on it.

In Great Britain, credit card gambling is banned, and that extends to e-wallets funded by a credit card (Gambling Commission). PayPal’s Buyer Protection terms also exclude gambling, so a gambling payment is not covered. Our payment methods guide shows other ways to pay.

How to deposit with PayPal

If a casino offers PayPal, a deposit takes a few minutes. You need a PayPal account that is already set up.

  1. Set up PayPalOpen an account and link a bank account or debit card. Complete PayPal’s own checks so payments are not held up.
  2. Choose PayPal in the cashierIf PayPal is not listed in the cashier, the casino does not take it. Enter the amount and check for any fee.
  3. Log in to PayPal and confirmThe casino sends you to PayPal to sign in. Check the amount and the recipient, then approve the payment.
  4. Return to the casinoYour balance normally updates within a few minutes. If it does not, contact the casino’s support with the PayPal transaction ID.

Use the same name on PayPal and on your casino account. A mismatch is a common reason for delays or a refused withdrawal.

Withdrawing to PayPal

Not every casino that takes PayPal deposits pays out to it. Check the withdrawal list in the cashier first.

  1. Check the casino’s rulesLook at the minimum withdrawal, any fee, and whether you must withdraw with the method you deposited with.
  2. Verify your accountMost casinos ask for ID before your first withdrawal. Doing this early avoids delays.
  3. Request the payoutChoose PayPal, enter the amount and check that the PayPal email address is the one on your account.
  4. Wait for approvalThe casino approves the request, which can take from hours to several days. The money then arrives in your PayPal account. Moving it to your bank may cost extra, depending on your PayPal account.

If PayPal is not available, ask the casino about MiFinity, eZeeWallet or Bitcoin.
