PayPal is an extraordinarily popular method for Norwegians to make online payments due to the security it offers and the flexibility of the base funding sources it allows people to use.  As such, many people are curious about whether or not they might be able to use PayPal from Norway as their payment method of choice with various sports betting sites.  Unfortunately however, PayPal is NOT AVAILABLE for use from Norway with any online sportsbook.  PayPal is only available for use from some European countries where online bookmakers are heavily regulated, like Denmark, Sweden & the UK among others.

Be careful what you read on this subject elsewhere on the web.  A lot of scammy betting resource sites write articles about 'Norway PayPal betting sites' in the hopes that they can get you excited about finding exactly what you want.  They'll point you to sites that might accept PayPal from residents of these other nations of the World.  Unfortunately for you, they just want to refer you as a customer with bad information, knowing that once you get to the betting site and become disappointed, you'll simply move on to the other available payment methods, and the scammy review site will still get credit for having referred you. 

PayPal alternatives for Norwegian sports betting payments

Luckily, there are other online payment methods available to Norwegian players that do work with betting sites.  Mastercard, Visa, credit & debit cards are nearly always available to players in Norway.  E-wallets like Skrill, Neteller, EcoPayz and Jeton Wallet may also be available on a case by case basis.  See our Norway bookmaker reviews for more details to compare accepted banking methods. 

What is PayPal?

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

How to fund your online sportsbook account with PayPal?

If you lived outside of Norway, in a country where online sportsbooks were heavily regulated, you would simply register your credit card or link your bank account to your PayPal account.  Then on the cashier page at your betting site of choice, you would be able to log in securely to your PayPal account in order to confirm the transfer to the betting site.  PayPal would then complete the transfer for you without sharing your financial details with the betting site.
