    How we ranked them

    We checked which payment methods each sportsbook licensed in the US 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 at US sportsbooks

    PayPal is one of the most popular ways to fund a US sportsbook account, and every book in this ranking accepts it. Its main advantages are privacy, since the sportsbook never sees your card or bank details, and speed: deposits are instant and PayPal withdrawals are usually among the fastest options. PayPal only works with licensed operators in states where online betting is legal, so it is also a useful check that you are using a regulated site.

    To use PayPal, the name on your PayPal account must match the name on your sportsbook account. PayPal deposits can be funded from your PayPal balance, a linked bank account or a linked card. Venmo, which is owned by PayPal, is also accepted by all three books here.

    PayPal also tends to handle the bank side of things well. Some US banks and card issuers decline gambling transactions or code them as cash advances with extra fees, and routing a deposit through a PayPal balance or linked bank account usually avoids those problems. PayPal's own limits on how much you can send still apply, and new or unverified PayPal accounts may face lower caps.

    PayPal options compared

    BetMGM ranks first, with PayPal among the methods it quotes for withdrawals within 24 hours. It also accepts Venmo, Apple Pay and its own Play+ card, so you have alternatives if PayPal is not right for you.

    bet365 is second and quotes 1 to 4 hours for PayPal withdrawals. It also accepts Skrill and Paysafecard, unusual options for a US sportsbook. BetRivers is third but quotes the fastest PayPal payouts of the three, within 30 minutes. Its $10 minimum deposit and simple cashier make it a good choice for small PayPal deposits.

    PayPal tips

    • Make your first deposit with PayPal if you want to withdraw to PayPal; books often require withdrawals to go back to the deposit method.
    • If you have a bonus offer in mind, check whether PayPal deposits qualify.
    • Keep your PayPal account verified to avoid holds on incoming payments.
    • PayPal transaction history gives you a clear record of your betting spend.

    Using a clear record to stay on budget

    One overlooked advantage of PayPal is that all your sportsbook deposits appear in one place. Reviewing that history once a month is an easy way to see how much you are spending. You must be 21 or over in most legal states, and all three books let you set deposit limits.
