# PayPal in betting apps in Ireland > Which betting apps in Ireland accept PayPal? Deposit and withdrawal fields still to be read, declared withdrawal times, and the s.165 rule on funding sources. Source: https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/paypal-betting-apps-ireland/ Updated: 2026-11-07 PayPal is an online wallet that some betting operators list as a payment method. On 7 November 2026 we have not read any operator's payment page, so which Irish operators accept it is Not checked. Credit-funded PayPal balances fall under the ban in s.165. Withdrawal times are not measured by us. ## What PayPal is in a betting context - **PayPal** is an account that holds a balance, or links to a card or bank account. - **Operators** decide whether to list it for deposits, for withdrawals, both or neither. - **The funding source** behind the account is what the credit card ban looks at (s.165). - **PayPal's own terms** on gambling payments in Ireland are Not checked. PayPal's page is the source to read. **In short:** PayPal is a method on the operator's list, and the list is not read yet. ## Operators to check for PayPal **Candidate operators for PayPal. Each is a candidate, licence to be confirmed on the GRAI register. Source: operator payment pages, not yet read · checked 7 November 2026** | Operator (candidate) | PayPal deposit | PayPal withdrawal | Declared withdrawal time | Checked | |---|---|---|---|---| | Betway | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | | William Hill | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | | Unibet | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | | bet365 | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | | Paddy Power | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Our pages on these candidates: [Betway](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/betway-app-ireland/), [William Hill](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/william-hill-app-ireland/), [Unibet](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/unibet-app-ireland/), [bet365](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/bet365-app-ireland/), [Paddy Power](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/paddy-power-app-ireland/). These links stay on this site. **In short:** five candidates and no figures until the sources are read. ## Declared withdrawal times and limits This section will show what operators say about withdrawals to PayPal, and nothing else. - **Source:** the operator's own payment or help page, quoted as published. - **Minimum:** at least four values from different operators before we show a comparison. - **Dates:** each value carries the date it was read. - **Not measured:** we opened no account and withdrew no money, so we hold no real timings. A declared time is a promise on a page, not a result. Treat it that way. **In short:** "as published" is the only honest label for a withdrawal time here. ## Where the PayPal balance comes from Credit cards and e-methods topped up from credit cards are banned (s.165, in force since 5 February 2026). A PayPal balance can be funded in more than one way. - You know how you funded your PayPal account. - The operator may ask, or may block a payment it cannot place. - We give no legal reading of a given funding route. Ask the operator, and see [the credit card ban explained](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/credit-card-ban-and-mobile-payments/). **In short:** the ban follows the money back to its source. ## How to check PayPal yourself 1. Confirm the licensee on the GRAI register ([licence check](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/check-a-betting-app-licence/)). 2. Open the operator's cashier page and look for PayPal in both lists. 3. Copy the declared withdrawal time and the date you read it. 4. Look at how your PayPal account is funded. 5. Set a limit before you deposit ([nine checks before a first deposit](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/before-your-first-deposit-from-a-phone/)). **In short:** read both lists, date what you read, set a limit. ## How we checked This page uses the Act and our editorial method. We read no operator page and no PayPal page. Declared times and limits are Not checked. **What changed:** 7 November 2026, first version with empty operator cells. **In short:** structure now, operator facts when read. ## Related questions ### Which Irish betting apps accept PayPal?
