PayPal
(Digital Wallet)
PayPal might be the world’s best-known eWallet, but its availability in South Africa’s gambling space is inconsistent.
While it’s ubiquitous in international online retailing, fewer local bookmakers have it as a deposit or withdrawal method than Skrill or Neteller.
It’s supported by some international operators that also accept South African bettors.
Advantages
- Well-known: PayPal is a global brand name, and it carries a certain amount of credibility.
- Multiple funding sources: You can link multiple cards or bank accounts, switching between them as you please.
- Good protection for consumers: While more critical in retail transactions, platform-wide security is of the highest order.
Disadvantages
- Limited acceptance: Not every South Africa-friendly operator takes PayPal.
- Fees: PayPal has a bad rep for transaction fees and currency conversion fees, depending on your bank and the operator's currency.
- Setup roadblocks: Some local players encounter verification malfunctions, especially if the depositor's page of the operator is not entirely streamlined.
