There are a lot of online poker deposit options out there, but PayPal is definitely one
of the most popular.👍 If you’ve already used PayPal as an online payment method you’ll
know how simple and effective it is. Instead of👍 using your credit card or bank details
for every online poker transaction you simply create a PayPal account.
Once you have👍 a
PayPal account (and upload funds from any number of options) it’s then dead simple to
transfer money back and👍 forth to your poker account.
No credit card info is required
and no bank details either - just a click of👍 the button and your funds are there in
your poker account. Even better: the best online real money poker sites👍 usually waive
any PayPal fees for deposits -- and even withdrawals.
The following list of poker sites
offer poker PayPal deposits👍 and withdrawals:
Setting up a PayPal Account
Setting up an
account is of course the first step when you want to make👍 a deposit with PayPal at an
online casino or online poker room. Here's how you do that:
Go to Paypal: The👍 setup of
your PayPal account is done on the site of PayPal itself (PayPal is the international
address). Register: On👍 the PayPal website, click on "Registration" (if you cannot find
the button, first click on "Log in"). Enter personal info:👍 The next thing you need to
do is provide some basic personal information. Be sure to use an email address👍 that you
check regularly, as it is used for communication. Next, you'll need to choose a
password that you can👍 remember, but that is not easy to guess. Connect your bank
account: The next step is to connect your bank👍 account to PayPal. PayPal uses your
account for payments. You must have your account verified first. PayPal will transfer a
👍 small amount of money to your account with a code to confirm the transfer. Once you
have received the transaction,👍 enter the code in PayPal and your PayPal account will be
verified. This step is necessary to ensure that no👍 strangers can access your account
easily. Done! Once your account is verified, you can use PayPal to make online poker
👍 deposits and withdrawals.

encounter a problem with a payment, it is difficult to find contact phone numbers on
the website,👍 and emails are usually only answered with automated answers.
PayPal Fees
and Withdrawal Limits
Fortunately, none of the online poker rooms we👍 tested charge any
fees for PayPal deposits. However, PayPal itself charges companies a fee for the
transaction. All poker providers👍 and the vast majority of online casinos pay these fees
and do not pass them on to their customers. However,👍 there are some poker providers
that charge a small fee for withdrawals, because PayPal also charges casinos a small
fee👍 for transactions to customers.

charges:
