Site that accepts PayPal

[Gamer]

I have been looking for an online poker site that can take PayPal as deposit. Does anyone know of any such site?

[BlueBear]

No.

Paypal has a strict policy of not dealing with online gambling sites.

3 years ago every gambling site accepted paypal.

Yeah, every site accepted Pay Pal, but paypal wont allow payments to gambling sites. It was their decision, not the poker/gambling sites.

[LLXC]

Probably more like eBay's.

[Lawrence Ng]

Yes, it was Ebay's decision. And a stupid decision it was.

IIRC, they got some serious threats from the Justice Department that allowing gaming transactions violated the Patriot Act.

i think ebay wanted to purchase paypal as a processor, and that for shareholder sake they no longer allowed paypal to process porn transactions. i think the discontinuation of paypal for gaming is because the NY attorney general is an assshole. they would probably still be processing gaming if the NY AG had not won his suit.

PayPal charged with breaking Patriot Act (http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1009_22-994810.html)

PayPay Acceptable Use Policy (Gambling Section) (http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/ua/use/index_frame-outside&ed=gambling)

Interestingly, when listing poker as a prohibited transaction, PayPay's comments include: [ QUOTE ]
Poker (whether or not it is considered a game of skill in the gambler’s jurisdiction)

<font color="green"> PayPal Antes up $200K to NY Attorney General, Cuts Off Service to New York Gamblers
By Ina Steiner

August 22, 2002

PayPal Inc. said it reached an agreement with the New York State Attorney General in his inquiry into payments made through PayPal's service to online gambling merchants. In an Assurance of Discontinuance made to the New York Attorney General, PayPal agreed to cease processing payments from its New York members to online gambling merchants by September 1, 2002.

PayPal is taking this action in voluntary cooperation with the Attorney General and is not admitting to a violation of law. The Attorney General has agreed to accept PayPal's assurance of discontinuance in lieu of commencing a statutory proceeding. PayPal has also agreed to pay penalties of $200,000 to the State of New York to cover the Attorney General's costs of investigation.

eBay said it would discontinue PayPal's online gambling processing when it acquires PayPal. The proposed acquisition was announced in July and approved by Federal antitrust regulators Monday. </font>

You can buy into Party and Party skins with the weird phone card thingy which I believe can be funded via PayPal.

[IggyWH]

I'm sure that gambling sites weren't disappointed by this...

Neteller's starting out fees are pretty much better than PayPal's best rate.

Under the circumstances that sounds really interesting. Anyone knows where to find more information on this? I've looked at Party's site. Thanks!
