Why Should I do my Betting with PayPal?

There are two ingredients that go into a perfect recipe for betting on football, the first is finding a great site to bet on, the second is finding the best payment method to use on that site!
Now you may think that the second ingredient isn’t that important, after all, there are tens if not hundreds of ways of funding an account so why does it matter?
I too had that mindset in the past but a really bad instance in my life changed my thinking on this and dear reader if you give me five minutes of your time, I will explain why in the hope you avoid the stress and hassle that I encountered.
Life is fast, we all know this! Time is precious and anything that can help to make our day to day lives simpler and easier has to be applauded. Like many of you guys do, I had accounts at everything from Argos to Zara (well the Mrs did…) and with each of these companies I gave them my debit card details which made shopping a breeze…. Until….
It was about 4am in the morning and I received a text alert on my mobile, half asleep and probably trying to recover from my latest hangover I ignored it! A couple of minutes passed and I received another alert, quickly followed by another and another and another and another.
In the space of 20 minutes I received messages telling me that over ten thousand pounds had been spent in America on flat screen TV’s, games consoles and a lay-z-boy reclining chair that Joey from Friends would have died for… The trouble was, this wasn’t confirmation of my middle aged bucket list, this was fraud and on a (ten) grand scale.
As my debit card was linked of course to my bank account, these unwanted messages were telling me that my account had been emptied. Long story short, I was lucky and eventually got the money back but not until I had spent weeks changing cards, account information and hours on the phone.
It was after all this hassle that I started to use PayPal for funding my online sports book and I have not looked back since.
I mentioned in the beginning of this page that two ingredients are needed, the first was to find betting sites that accept PayPal and if you are struggling with that aspect then check out the excellent www.realmoney.co.uk/sports-betting/paypal/ who compare all the best online sports betting sites that accept PayPal and give unbiased views and reviews.
But back onto the subject of PayPal, when using this payment method, you are not disclosing your financial information to the sports site, only to PayPal and this significantly reduces the risk to you. This makes using PayPal not only a secure choice but a sensible one. Once you have your account set up and funded then you can use PayPal at lots of different sites but you only give your payment details once.
One of the biggest selling points for PayPal is that there are no charges at all if you fund your PayPal account with a debit card and you will find that most online sports betting sites will not charge anything to either deposit or withdraw money in your sportsbook account.
If you have never used PayPal for sports betting then give it a go, it’s fast, simple, secure and in most cases free to use. It only takes five minutes to set up an account and you could soon be joining over 179 million customers and benefitting from the protection that the world’s most famous online payment service provides.
