paypal debit card question

[cupojoe]

since alot of credit card companies reject gaming transactions, does anyone know if we can use PayPal's (mastercard) debit/atm card or do you they reject them also? i think its issued through Chase.

Instant rejection, they even locked mine and I had to call customer service to unlock it and was given a stern warning that under no circumstances do they condone the use of these cards for online gaming.

i suppose then we could use paypals debit card to fund accounts like at prepaidatm or moneybookers or ondemand funds or atmonline or one of those places first then transfer to the casinos. the question though is which of these places have a "non gaming" merchant code when we try to fund them? i tried ondemand funds once and my credit card rejected it , probably thinking it was a gambling joint.

I am not sure, I know my visa still works at epassporte but then you are pretty much bound to Playtech casino's as that is primarily who they fund.

That sucks, especially when you consider the fact that PayPal is not allowing UK and Europeans to deposit via PayPal at Gambling venues.

I didn't believe it myself either, but Ladbrokes and another casino is now offering it as a deposit method with others to soon follow.

Not that it helps me, I'm not in the USA and even I can't use this service

Then again maybe that's a good idea!

I'm sure there may be ways around it, but once paypal gets wind of what's going on, you'd be in danger of them locking your account....not worth it if you ask me..


btw, it's not just Europe and UK that paypal blocks gambling deposits, it's the whole world. They stopped allowing any gambling transactions years ago.

You mean "Paypal is now allowing".
