    Paypal deposit

    Hi guys, I was just wondering if there is anyway I can make a deposit to a good book using paypal. I would rather do that, then to wait three days for the paypal money to hit my bank account in order to deposit. Thanks for the help.

    Paypal transactions for gaming is against the law and reputable books won't offer that service. However, the last time I check DimelineSportsbook (SBR Rated D+) was accepting transaction via that method.

    I kept thinking from a U.S. standpoint sir. You would be correct about BetFair. Also, Ladbrokes accepts Paypal as well.

    A few Euro books won a court case and are allowed to use PayPal for gaming transactions. Albeit, it's a very small geographical area that can though.

    paypal CEO was one actively trying to get the internet gaming law passed in the u.s, ( the anti internet gaming law), yet they have no problem providing the service in the U.K. If you are against your company being involved in that business , then be consistent

    The worst part, we are not protected from ourselves nearly as much as free Americans are.

    We are going to hell in a handbasket with gambling, loose women and drugs, and no proper government intervention!

    I envy Americans......

    Yea, the USA won't let us offer our services for gambling transfers, let's stop all our business in other countries...

    Offshore gambling websites aren't illegal. Using them from the U.S., is.

    Unless you live in a certain geographical area in Europe. Then I feel that's a very accurate statement sir.
