What is PayPal?

PayPal is an e-wallet service that enables you to pay, send money and accept payments without revealing your financial details.

How to fund your UK betting account with PayPal:

Once you have registered your credit card or linked your bank account to your PayPal account, you can fund your online bookmaker account by simply choosing PayPal within the betting site's cashier page via the 'Deposit' button.  From the betting site cashier page or utility, you will be able to select 'PayPal' as your payment method of choice, and the amount you would like to deposit.  You will be redirected to the PayPal website where you will use your PayPal credentials to login and then confirm the transaction. PayPal will complete the transfer to the betting site without sharing your financial details, and then return you to the betting site.

PayPal 'One Touch' feature

PayPal offers a feature where UK users may stay logged in to their PayPal account from within their betting site, allowing subsequent deposits to occur in a streamlined & convenient manner.

In general, there are no fees to use PayPal at betting sites for customers in the UK - in other words, the transfers or transactions are free.
