How to Play Poker Videos
Are there any online poker sites that you can buy chips to play for real money using Paypal?
Can you buy chips on PokerStars using Paypal, or is there another site that lets you? Thanks.

- no when ebay bought paypal several years back, paypal stopped allowing payment to gambling sites
- Actually because online gambling was getting so huge and cutting into profits at real casinos, the US Government has made online casino betting illegal. Good luck finding a website that will let you play for real cash. Any you do find will most likely be based outside the US and outside of its trade laws. PayPal's a reputable business--they wouldnt want to be caught supporting an illegal gambling site.
- If you're American, you're out of luck. I think the only sites that let people deposit using PayPal are Ladbrokes and BetFair, and both of thses sites don't allow US play. There might even be a ban against US players using PayPal to fund gaming accounts, similar to what Neteller and Moneybookers have done. Sorry. I surf the forums at Full Tilt Poker quite a bit, and from what I can gather pre-paid Visa cards are the way to go. Good luck.
- Pay Pal don't support any kind of gambling. Try epassporte.com.
- Paypal stopped doing adult and gambling transactions years ago. If you want to play in the US, your options are Bodog, Full Tilt, Poker Stars, Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet. They all offer several options for US players. I like Bodog because they still offer an "insta-check" option, where you basically give them your checking account info and check number then they process a printed check to your bank a few days later. But they give you instant credit to play with. You can also check out http://www.freepoker4cash.com/ - it is a free site where you can play for real cash and prizes. It's 100% legal in the US because the prizes are paid by advertisers and because poker is considered a game of "chance", it's considered a "sweepstakes" in the legal sense. They just put together a new software that is very easy to use and smooth. It's a decent place to play for free and without having to worry about any legal issues.
