i am pretty sure that when ebay bought paypal, they ended the online gambling transfers altogether.

i am sure that the sites would welcome paypal, but ebay shut that down.

I have heard of Paypal closing the account and confiscating all money inside the account, if caught using for gambling transactions.

I've only heard this is all....
I don't know for sure.

Default It's in their Terms of Service

2.8 Liability for Violations of the Acceptable Use Policy. If you engage in the following behavior, PayPal may fine you, as explained below. ...

Using the PayPal service to receive payments for wagers, gambling debts or gambling winnings, regardless of the location or type of gambling activity.



Doesn't say exactly how much a "fine" would be, but I'd be very cautious about this.

Yeah its so annoying, i used paypal to move around various online casino's and bonus hunting, now it cant be done. I have no idea why they stopped this! I dont see anything wrong in gambling and paypal would have made alot from this.

Its because online gambling is legal grey area, and just in case some court makes a breakthrough ruling, they dont want to be stuck in the middle of it.

Or at least thats what I think it is
