As PayPal is one of the most popular online payment methods, it is no wonder that there are plenty of online casinos that accept PayPal as a banking method for deposits and payments.
PayPal became the payment method used by the majority of eBay users and also the default choice for eBay listings. Despite being acquired by eBay, PayPal kept expanding faster than its parent company and became a popular online payment system on other e-commerce platforms. Online casinos that accept PayPal also started to emerge.
If you’re not sure how to use PayPal to gamble in online casinos (or not even sure what is PayPal) you’re definitely in the right place. We’ll go through the pros and cons of using PayPal in online casinos, how to set up PayPal as your payment method on online casinos and some tips & tricks about PayPal gambling.
And of course, as we always do, we’ll cover the slots angle.
Just to get the record straight: When we say ‘PayPal casino’ we mean a casino that accepts PayPal. There aren’t actually online casinos that accept only PayPal, nor there are casino sites that are operated by PayPal – not that we know off at least.
So any PayPal casino that we mention or discuss also accepts the more traditional payment methods, mainly credit cards and other online payment platforms like Payoneer.
Now that we got this out of the way, let’s look at the advantages of using PayPal for online gambling:
You can probably guess it yourself that PayPal slots are online slots machines that you can play on them using PayPal as your payment method.
If an online casino accepts PayPal, then all the slot games it offers can be considered PayPal slots. We checked, but couldn’t find any online casino that restricts the PayPal payment to only some slots, meaning, that says you can use PayPal for these slots but not for those slots. The acceptance of PayPal is always sweeping across all games offered by the casino. It’s an all or nothing kind of a deal. Kind of appropriate for gambling, isn’t it?
We talk mainly about casino sites, but there are of course many UK slot sites that take PayPal as well.
It can be a nice exercise to try and imagine what a PayPal slot would be like. We can assume that on the reels instead of fruit symbols there will be symbols of coins and bills, that famous blue P and maybe the face of Elon Musk? (We can guess that it goes quite nicely with his eccentric-billionaire vibe.)
The bonus game of a PayPal slot can take place inside a virtual cash safe, like the Matrix of money, where coins don’t have a physical form but rather are connected to an AI infrastructure that conducts the transactions on behalf of the coins.
We can go on like this all day, but let’s wrap this slots section by repeating the main points: PayPal slots in the UK are your way to gamble online in the most secure way possible, and pay the least amount of fee for your transactions. If you have the option to play slots and pay by PayPal, we say go for it.
If you thinking it’s a new method or tactic of gambling, then no. It is more a Google search term than anything else. Simply put, it refers to online casinos that allow the option to make a deposit via your PayPal account.
No. Some do, some don’t. In any case, it would be pretty easy to find out. Those casinos that accept PayPal payments will mention that in the informative pages.
It’s basically same as paying anything else using PayPal – think of the deposit as a payment. The first order of business is to have a PayPal account. If you don’t have one, go to PayPal.com and go through the sign up process. It’s a simple process, especially for personal accounts, which is what you need.
Once your account is setup and you’ve transferred funds there, you’re ready to roll. When you visit the online casino of your choice, check if they have PayPal as part of their banking methods. From there it’s the same as any other payment methods – enter the account details, select the amount you want to deposit, review and confirm. That’s it. Your PayPal casino deposit process has been completed. Now choose the game you wish to play and gamble on.
There is no difference because there aren’t ‘PayPal Slots’. You can play any slot machine in online casinos that accept PayPal payments.
Big question! But since there isn’t such a thing as “PayPal casino”, like there aren’t “PayPal slots” so the question basically is what is the best online casino? Like we said – big question! Not sure we have the answer for that one.
