PayPal Betting Sites in the UK: Tried and Tested (2025)

After initially focusing on Ireland, BoyleSports moved into the UK market in 2019 and has become quite a popular option since. With a comprehensive sportsbook - which was upgraded in 2025 - and many promotions for various sports, it's not hard to see why the blue/purple-themed bookie has had success.

PayPal is one of the accepted payment methods at BoyleSports, with a minimum deposit amount of just £5. This amount is doubled for withdrawals, i.e. £10, but that is better than it being the other way around. Our withdrawal test also arrived after 35 minutes, meaning BoyleSports has fast withdrawals with PayPal.

Unfortunately, the welcome offer cannot be claimed with the method, which is the one big con that the bookie has. On the other hand, you could use a different method for the first deposit and then use PayPal, so it's not really a long-term issue.

BetMGM took the UK market by storm with its launch in the summer of 2023, building on the positive reputation that had been amassed in the US. A huge marketing campaign was focused on, you guessed it, the welcome offer and it's indeed one of the most generous ones out there. Of course, this is all on top of a very good sportsbook.

PayPal can be found in the BetMGM cashier, with a minimum deposit and withdrawal amount of £10. The maximum for deposits is £10,000 but for withdrawals, it's less than half of that at £4,000. While we haven't tested the PayPal withdrawal speed at BetMGM, we have done so on two of its sister sites and both tests took less than 2 hours.

Now, we mentioned the welcome offer at the top and it certainly deserves another mention, as it's possible to claim it with PayPal. You don't have to worry about making the first deposit with another method, as such, and that is indeed great news.

We easily could have mentioned Bet365 first on this list, especially since we have labelled it best for quality, but there is one factor that has to be considered. The bookie's minimum deposit for PayPal is not the standard £5, not even £10, but rather a hefty £25. If you can look past that, though, there are many reasons to join.

Bet365 is one of the best in the business when market depth, offering anything you could imagine, and live streaming is an added bonus for most of the events. Furthermore, the bookie has several beneficial promotions - such as the early payout - and this means you can get a lot of value from having an account on the site.

The minimum withdrawal is better at £10, while the maximum for both deposits and withdrawals is £5,500. We actually tested the withdrawal process and got the money after just 60 minutes. You can also claim the welcome offer with PayPal, though it should be noted that you need to fully verify your account first.

The Pools might sound like an odd choice for this list, but there is a lot to like about the bookie. In addition to offering pool betting, which is what made the brand big to begin with, there is also a standard fixed odds sportsbook available. Then again, the pool betting and membership is the big usp.

While there aren't tons of payment methods accepted on the site, in fact there are only two, and PayPal is at least one of them. The minimum amount for deposits and withdrawal is set at just £5, which is a big positive, though the maximum deposit could perhaps be improved as it's currently a mere £1,000.

Based on the terms and conditions, PayPal cannot be used to claim the welcome offer, which is unfortunate. It actually doesn't say in clear terms on the betting offer landing page, but the casino page makes it very clear. As such, we can only assume that the debit card restriction applies to the betting offer too.

Finally, we have arrived at Grosvenor. Most punters will be familiar with the brand, thanks to the physical casinos up and down the country, but there is actually a decent sportsbook too. Indeed, an agreement was struck with Kambi which, combined with an already solid foundation, resulted in a perfectly usable sportsbook.

On the deposit front, PayPal is accepted by the Grosvenor and despite the slightly higher minimum deposit of £10, the bookie still stands out: the maximum deposit with the method is set at £30,000. The minimum amount for withdrawals is lowered to £5, but the maximum stays the same and that makes the bookie perfect for high rollers.

The welcome offer isn't the best we have seen and with that in mind, it's perhaps not such a huge blow that it cannot be claimed with PayPal. It's a simple double the odds deal, so it's not like you would miss out on loads of free bets.
