yeah you usually gotta verify your account before paypal shows up as an option, thats what got me confused at first too. once i uploaded my ID and proof of address it appeared in the deposit methods. with Rolletto it was pretty straightforward, paypal popped up after verification and deposits were instant. just make sure the email on your paypal matches the one on your betting account or it wont work properly

can confirm, same thing happened to me. didnt show up till i finished verification and then bam there it was. paypal deposits are instant which is class, withdrawals took like a day for me but nothing crazy

not always tbh but it makes life way easier if it does. some sites are strict about it for security reasons, others dont care. i'd just update one of them to match so you dont get any annoying flags on your account

idk about paypal for betting honestly, dont they have rules against gambling transactions? thought they blocked that sort of thing

nah thats outdated info mate. paypal works fine with most licensed uk bookies now, they sorted that out years ago. i use it every week with no issues at all. the only thing is you cant always claim certain welcome bonuses if you deposit via paypal so read the small print

fwiw the bonus exclusion thing is pretty common across loads of payment methods, not just paypal. skrill and neteller usually get excluded too. its in the terms if you look. nothing dodgy just how it works

mine was done in like 20 mins, just took a photo of my licence and a recent bank statement and it went through automatically. some places take longer if they review manually but usually its quick these days

one thing worth knowing, withdrawals back to paypal are usually faster than card. card can take 3-5 working days but paypal is often same day or next. thats the main reason i switched over to using it

had a nightmare with paypal recently ngl. tried to withdraw and it bounced back saying the account couldnt be verified even though id used it for deposits fine. support took 4 days to even reply, was raging

that's rough but honestly sounds like a one off. ive been using paypal for withdrawals for over a year and never had it bounce. usually that happens when the deposit and withdrawal accounts dont match up exactly, might be worth double checking that side of things

agree with the top comment, verify first then paypal shows up. did exactly that and it was sorted in no time. instant deposits and decent withdrawal speed, cant complain really. defo easier than messing about with card details every time
