Payments
PayPal in betting apps in Ireland
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.

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.
In short: the ban follows the money back to its source.
How to check PayPal yourself
- Confirm the licensee on the GRAI register (licence check).
- Open the operator's cashier page and look for PayPal in both lists.
- Copy the declared withdrawal time and the date you read it.
- Look at how your PayPal account is funded.
- Set a limit before you deposit (nine checks before a first deposit).
In short: read both lists, date what you read, set a limit.
