How to Deposit into an Online Casino Using PayPal?

PayPal is the most widespread online payment method used by millions of customers worldwide. However, it’s not easy to find an online casino accepting PayPal. The problem is that PayPal applies strict rules concerning gambling, so most casinos are unable to add it as a payment method. Luckily, PayPal users can still use the money on their balances to replenish casino accounts.

You may have heard that PayPal supports cryptocurrencies. Indeed, with PayPal you can buy, sell, hold, and even spend Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash. However, PayPal restricts crypto withdrawals to external wallets, so it is not helpful for casino deposits.

Do not despair, as there are enough options to buy crypto with PayPal, so that you can deposit it into an online casino later. One of such options is provided by the largest US crypto exchange Coinbase. Kindly note that you can buy crypto with PayPal through Coinbase only from supported jurisdictions. If you don’t see the option to add PayPal as a payment method at Coinbase, this feature is not yet available for your region.
