Online Casino Funding With the Paypal Plugin: Is It Possible?

Friday, July 18th, 2008

The question at hand is this: Can we use the new Paypal Plug-in to fund our online casino accounts?

In case you haven’t checked this out, Paypal has just launched the new Paypal Plug-in. Here’s the video and a transcription of what it says:

The new paypal plugin lets you shop securely and easily even on websites where paypal is not accepted. So how can the plugin help you? Let’s say you’re buying a gift for your mom online. With the plugin you can fill in your shipping and billing details with just one click at checkout. No more typing the same information again and agan every time you shop. If the site doesn’t accept paypal, no problem! The secure cards feature lets you generate a single use mastercard number to pay for your purchase. You’ll never have to worry about exposing your credit card information again. Want to keep all your receipts in one place? You can use the plugin to save them and review them at any time at paypal.com. It’s a great way to track all your shopping activity. The plugin sits at your internet browser, so it’s always at your fingertips. The paypal plugin lets you use paypal anywhere online. Download it today and go shopping

* Save and print your receipts
* Penetrate addresses with 1 click during checkout

Paypal Plugin System Requirements:

* Operating System: Windows 98, ME, 2000, NT, or XP

Mac users cannot invest the PayPal Plug-In at this time. However, you can still use the Secure Cards feature of the plug-in. How it works:

* Go to the Secure Cards period.
* Generate a unique MasterCard Secure Card number.
* Note the card integer, expiration date, and the CVC2.
* Enter these details at checkout.

The Old-School Way to Fund Online Casinos Using PayPalIn particularNow, I can’t confirm that this method is still working, but we’ll go over the details anyway. The way it works is based around the fact that PayPal isn’t usable to fund casino accounts in a little while. So what we’ll do is transfer Paypal funds over to a third party and then buy casino chips using that third party. This what you have to do.

First, open an account with a prepaid VISA window-card provider (you can use Account Now VISA in this example. Minimum age for the prepaid credit card is 14 - no joke). Once you’ve filled out the body, you transfer money over from PayPal over to your Account Now credit card - at no cost to you. Now, fund your online casino account using the prepaid VISA assign card. UPDATE: A reader has mentioned that Account Now has written in their Terms & Conditions that “You may not use your Card for any actionable transactions, at casinos, or any gambling activity.” So that’s out of the question. There may be other prepaid credit cards that do allow this - if you distinguish of any, please discuss in the comments section.
