Paypal & Poker?

[mukil88]

Hi,

Are there any poker sites out there that except paypal for depositing?
And what are the smallest deposits allowed at poker rooms? At the casinos i frequent the lowest is $20, some are $50. What about poker sites?

Thanks

I know of Casinos that offer Paypal, but only for players outside the USA...Paypal banned gambling transactions way back in (I think) it was 2002, and were the first to do so. American Express was the next to follow...

I've seen some sites that have a way of getting around the AMEX block, but not any poker rooms...

I know if you get a reloadable Netspend Visa card (www.netspend.com) you can load funds on it via Paypal, but it's not instant, as it's an ACH transfer from your bank to paypal and so forth...but I've never had my Netspend card denied at any poker room or casino (yet.)

If you have Paypal funds that you want to use for Poker, what I would suggest is finding a friend that you really trust that has an account on a poker site that you're on, then transfer that money from your paypal account to theirs, and then have them use their funds on that poker site to initiate a player to player transfer of that money on that poker site. I know that PokerStars and Full Tilt allow player to player transfers, and I'm sure there are many others that do, as well...

edit: The min. deposits that I know for a fact are: PokerStars: $10 (CC) $100 (WU) $25 (Instant E-Checks) Full Tilt: $50 (CC), not sure about the other methods and finally, Doyles Room, which is $30, for all deposit options.

For PokerStars, I think the minimum for player to player transfers is $10. To do this, just click on "Requests" then "Transfer Funds."
