PayPal Betting Sites in the UK

You can use PayPal on all of the UK betting sites in our list above for both depositing and withdrawing money. But, this is mostly for the UK and Irish residents. If you are living in any other country, check out their FAQ page for more information.

However, it is important to note that there are few free bets & signup offers that work with PayPal deposits. Most of the signup bonuses exclude PayPal and other e-wallet deposits in terms and conditions. Be sure to check our T&Cs below each of our betting offers to see if PayPal deposits are eligible for the bonus.

Pros and Cons of Using PayPal on UK Betting Sites

PayPal needs little introduction for most people in the UK. But, why would you use it for online betting?

  • Fast Withdrawals: Depending on the betting site and if your account is verified, PayPal withdrawals can arrive in your account within 15 minutes. At worst, the withdrawal is usually in your account within 24 hours.

  • Security: PayPal is a reputable and secure payment platform. There are several security measures to help safeguard your account and finacial information including fraud monitoring and prevention, data encryption, key pinning and security keys.

  • Email Payment Confirmation: You will receive an email any time you send or receive a PayPal payment. This ensures you can alert PayPal quickly if you didn't make a transaction.

  • Convenience: PayPal is user-friendly and easy to set up by linking your bank account or debit card to your PayPal wallet. This also means you do not need to share sensitive details with the bookmakers directly.

  • Privacy: Using PayPal for online betting means you do not need to share sensitive details with the bookmakers directly.

  • Fees: Fees are often waived by most betting sites in the UK, but not all. Be sure to check each bookmaker to see if they charge for deposits or withdrawals.

  • Withdrawal Delays: Some betting sites may have slower withdrawal processes due to security checks.

  • Bonus restrictions: There are not many welcome bonuses in the UK that activate with PayPal deposits. Most will exclude PayPal from the bonus requirements meaning you might need to deposit with a debit card to receive your bonus. Be sure to check the key terms and conditions for every welcome bonus.

PayPal Deposit and Withdrawal Terms for the Best UK Bookmakers

New Paypal Betting Sites

As Paypal will often cost betting sites more money (in fees) than other traditional payment methods, not all new bookmakers offer PayPal. But, below we have a list of the latest betting sites to launch in the UK that offer PayPal.

Why Use PayPal for Online Betting?

PayPal is great for several reasons:

  • Security - PayPal has fantastic protection with secure technology and helps keep your transactions secure by not sharing your full financial information with gambling sites.
  • Speed - Deposits are instant, but that is similar to most payment methods. However, withdrawals are also fast with most bookies paying out within 24 hours.
  • Convenience - Time-saving with no need to enter all of your card details.
  • Flexibility - Your PayPal account could be used for so much more, including purchasing goods, or transferring payments to friends, family or clients.
  • Not counting for some signup offers - Deposits using PayPal and other E-Wallets are not eligible for some betting offers. Be sure to check our key T&Cs so you do not miss out on a new customer sign-up offer.

Is Betting with PayPal Safe?

PayPal is safe and is properly regulated for many UK betting sites. They provide a quick, safe, and easy way to make instant deposits in many different currencies (depending on the bookmaker).

PayPal will not share your full financial information with the betting sites and comes with 24/7 monitoring, secure technology, fraud prevention, dispute resolution and purchase protection around the world. If you face any issues while using PayPal, you will find a responsive support section to help.

Creating a PayPal Account

If you want to use PayPal as a payment method on a betting site, you will need to create a PayPal account first. Navigate to the official PayPal website, open a "Personal" account, and complete the registration process. This includes details such as your full name, phone number, address, etc.

Then, you will need to verify your account by linking a bank account to your PayPal profile. You can also connect other bank cards and payment methods such as e-wallets. But, if you plan to use PayPal for betting, you cannot use a credit card in the UK anymore.

How to verify your account:

  • Log in to your PayPal account and head to the "Banks and Cards" tab
  • Click "Link a Card or Bank" and connect the bank or card of your choice
  • Enter your card number or IBAN and bank details
  • You should be prompted to confirm your identity with a security check from your bank
  • Enter the code the bank sends you and your PayPal account should be verified

How to Deposit Using Paypal

Of course, some betting sites may vary slightly, but depositing using PayPal is quick and easy on pretty much all UK betting sites that accept PayPal.

  • Find the deposit page
  • Choose PayPal as your deposit option
  • Enter the amount you want to deposit and click "Deposit"
  • You will be redirected to your PayPal account to authorise the payment
  • Start betting!

If you have any problems, check the betting sites' help section, and almost all bookies have a detailed guide for deposits and withdrawals using PayPal.

How to Withdraw Using Paypal

Again, some bookmakers may vary slightly, but the withdrawal process is usually quick and easy.

  1. Navigate to the withdrawal page
  2. Choose PayPal as the withdrawal option and enter the amount you want to withdraw
  3. Click "Withdraw" and the money should arrive in your PayPal account within 24 hours (longer if you have not verified the payment method or account)

If you need to verify your account or payment method to authorise your withdrawal. Simply send in a photo of one of these documents.

  • Proof of age/identity with photo (Passport or Driving license)
  • Proof of permanent residence address (Any bills, mobile, internet, bank statements, utility bills)
  • Proof of bank card or other payment methods

Betting Responsibly with PayPal

Using PayPal for betting in the UK comes with certain responsibilities and safeguards to promote responsible gambling:

  1. Gamban: PayPal works with Gamban's blocking software to stop transactions for all gambling-related activities in the UK.
  2. PayPal's Gambling Policy: PayPal will not allow gambling in countries where it is illegal. For the UK, it is accepted, but it is banned in a lot of countries around the world. Again demonstrates their commitment to safe and legal gambling.

We take responsible gambling seriously at BettingLounge.co.uk. Please gamble responsibly.
