As an online account used to store funds from all kind of banking methods (bank accounts, credit cards, debit cards), PayPal is used as a service for online payments. As a digital wallet, PayPal lets its users deposit/withdraw/receive funds from verified sources, usually involving a fee at the merchant's end (sending money to your PayPal account is free).

PayPal has several types of accounts available, depending on the user and his/hers payment needs. The limit per person is 2 accounts, a Personal and a Business or Premium. The differences between these accounts is the removal of credit card limitation for account funding (the Personal account can receive payments from up to 5 credit cards, while the others have no limit) and some fees that apply for the Personal account might not apply for the Business or Premium ones and wise/versa. Be sure to check the descriptions of each in order to obtain the right account for your needs.

PayPal operates on a huge network that is present in over 190 countries all around the world. The countries that are not accepted usually fall in the "unsecure" category. Players and consumers need to take note of the interchangeable fees that apply to payments via PayPal from one country to another (even with the exchange rate, PayPal adds its own fee system that will add yet another % of the funds being transferred). This is especially important to everyone outside the US, where the fees that apply may be higher than usual.

Apart from the option to opt for more than one account, PayPal offers secure and timely payments, along with investment opportunities (check out PayPal money market for more info). Casino players may look forward to bonuses at their favorite casinos when using PayPal, as well as lower fees for withdrawals/deposits.
