PayPal is slowly becoming a popular payment option for online poker rooms that do not allow United States players to play at their site.  PayPal poker sites include PKR, Pacific Poker, Ladbrokes, Betfair, Paddy Power Poker and Party Poker.  PayPal is one of the most used transaction methods for all types of online exchanges.  If you have ever purchased an item on eBay or pretty much any online store, you will have likely experienced PayPal first hand.  PayPal is a well trusted and easy to use ewallet.  You can easily transfer money from your bank account to your PayPal account and vice versa.  From there you can purchase almost anything you can find online.  Poker funds used to be an exception to this rule, but times are changing and online poker players everywhere are very excited.

Many online casinos are also getting in on the act and allowing customers to deposit via PayPal.  Some of these PayPal casino sites include Paddy Power casino, William Hill, Betfair casino, 888.com casino and PKR casino.  Once again, no casinos that allow American players accept PayPal as a deposit option.

PayPal moving into the online poker industry is great news for both players and poker rooms.  Players have the opportunity to make transactions using PayPal and online poker rooms will likely be able to convert more players who wouldn’t have been able to deposit without the PayPal option.  This is definitely a win-win for everyone involved!
