Esports betting sites that accept PayPal
CSGO gambling sites and PayPal
We do not endorse gambling at CSGO skin gambling sites – there’s just too much uncertainty following Valve’s crackdown and it’s not clear that the games at CSGO gambling sites are fair.
We suggest that you consider some safe alternatives to CS2 skin betting as opposed to using PayPal to fund your account at unregulated, unlicensed CSGO betting and gambling sites. While some of these CSGO gambling sites may accept PayPal, it’s difficult to have full confidence that your funds and your account will actually be safe when you’re gambling at CSGO PayPal betting sites that are based in skins as opposed to legal online sportsbooks.

Paypal and gambling – background
PayPal is an eWallet that processes payments for hundreds of thousands of merchants around the world. It is best known for its partnership with eBay as its preferred payment processor. PayPal is also used by a variety of transactions from small online marketers and businesses.
PayPal is accepted by many companies in the online gaming industry. It started out processing payments for online casinos and poker rooms in the early 2000’s. It got out of the business but returned to it in 2008.
That is when it started processing payments for a variety of UK sportsbooks that include Betfair and William Hill. PayPal since branched out to process payments for many licensed online gaming sites in Europe.
In 2015, PayPal started processing payments for regulated U.S. poker and casino sites. These markets are Nevada and New Jersey. PayPal is not yet available for gaming transactions in Delaware.
Esports betting was the next business PayPal entered. This is where bettors make wagers on prestigious video gaming events throughout the world. Not all esports sites accept PayPal. It is only available at ones that are properly licensed in the jurisdiction where the depositor is located. This typically means a handful of countries in Western Europe.
