How we ranked them

We checked which payment methods each sportsbook licensed in Italy accepts on its local site. Every sportsbook here takes PayPal; they are ordered by our overall review score.

What to look for

  • Whether PayPal works for withdrawals as well as deposits
  • Minimum and maximum amounts for the method
  • Fees charged by the sportsbook or the payment provider
  • Whether PayPal deposits qualify for the welcome offer

PayPal and Italian sportsbooks

PayPal is one of the most trusted ways to pay online in Italy, and all six ADM-licensed sportsbooks in our review accept it. The appeal is simple: you log in with your PayPal account instead of typing card details into a betting site, deposits usually appear straight away, and withdrawals tend to come back faster than by bank transfer.

Because every operator here takes PayPal, the question is not where you can use it but which site gives you the best overall package around it. That is why this ranking follows our overall scores, with payouts weighing heavily in our comparison.

LeoVegas, 888sport and William Hill head the list

LeoVegas comes first. It has the highest payouts rating in our Italian test at 9.2, the best app (9.5) for depositing on the move, and a 10 euro minimum deposit. It also accepts PostePay, so you can switch between the two if one is unavailable.

888sport is second with a 9.0 payouts rating and the highest markets rating in our Italian test, 9.2. Its sportsbook runs on the 888casino.it concession site, so make sure that is the domain you are depositing on. William Hill is third and is the only Italian operator in our data to state a withdrawal time for PayPal: within 24 hours. It also has the lowest minimum deposit in this group, 5 euros.

Eurobet, bwin and Gioco Digitale also take PayPal. Eurobet quotes around 24 hours for e-wallet withdrawals, which is useful if you bet mainly on Serie A. bwin and Gioco Digitale accept PayPal too, with bwin's 5 euro minimum the lower of the two.

Using PayPal at a betting site

A few points help PayPal payments run smoothly:

  • Use a PayPal account in the same name as your betting account; Italian sites check that payment methods belong to the account holder.
  • Complete identity verification early, as withdrawals are only processed once your documents are approved.
  • Many sites send winnings back to the method you deposited with, so stick to PayPal for both if you can.
  • Check whether the site applies a minimum withdrawal amount for e-wallets.

Payments and responsible play

Fast payments are convenient, but they also make it easy to deposit again on impulse. Each of these sportsbooks is licensed by ADM, displays its GAD concession number in the footer and lets you set deposit limits from your account page. Winnings withdrawn to PayPal from a licensed site are tax-free and do not need to be declared.
