Bingo sites that accept PayPal
Got a PayPal account and want to use it for playing bingo online? You can but you need to know a few things.
Historically PayPal have been very strict and havent allowed online gaming sites to use their e-wallet as a payment method. In recent years PayPal have relaxed their rules slightly and have decided to allow a few select sites to operate using PayPal for transactions. The sites they approved are only the most reputable which means that any gaming site that accepts PayPal can be trusted and should something go wrong with payments you are covered by PayPal's guarantee.

As of 2011 you can play bingo with Paypal at all GTECH G2 (originally St Minver branded) powered sites so the likes of Littlewoods, Love Bingo, Butlins Bingo, Yahoo Bingo and some others now also accept Paypal payments. Unlike most of the other brands it is the GTECH G2 (St Minver) network that has secured this deal with Paypal and passed it on to their white label customers.
The amount of bingo sites that accept Paypal is actually growing, although very slowly. We are keeping a close eye on the movements that Paypal are making and they seem to have really got a stronghold on the gaming industry as a whole. We recently did some research and found out that over 70% of online bingo players would prefer to use Paypal as a payment processor, and it would have influenced which site they played on as they see it as a secure and familiar payment method.
Knowing the industry like we do, we know that if a site has managed to get an agreement to use Paypal then they are to be highly respected as they have had to prove beyond doubt that they offer a problematic free game, that otherwise could ultimately lead to a can of worms for Paypal.
Paypal bingo sites do seem a bit of a mix up though. Some of the large names in gaming such as Bet365, Ladbrokes, William Hill and Paddy Power are not surprising but giants like Gala Bingo havent managed to secure an agreement and solid but less well know operators like Chit Chat Bingo and 32 Red have managed to get merchant accounts. While offering Paypal to players will bring more players, it is also a trade off for operators especially since Paypal fees and levels of compliance are so much higher.
