PayPal has been one of the most popular payment platforms for not only live casinos but any and all digital payments for many years. It is the first name most people think of when online payments are concerned, and below are all the main advantages and disadvantages of using it for your payments at live casinos.

• PayPal is one of the most widely-accepted payment options in the world. Lots of live casinos take it – you’ll often see it sitting next to M-Pesa and Airtel Money on the cashier screen.
• It’s super flexible for online payments, with crystal-clear currency conversions (no hidden fees when you switch between USD, EUR or KSh).
• You can make both deposits and withdrawals from the same account, so you don’t need to juggle multiple wallets and cards.
• Link up several bank accounts and cards for centralised payment management—shwari!
• World-renowned security keeps your account locked down tight, cutting the risk of fraud—important when you’re topping up for live dealer rounds.
• Customer support is poa and prompt, so any hiccups get sorted fast.
• It’s not as widely used as M-Pesa among Kenyan players, but still a solid backup when you want an alternative to mobile money or credit cards.

PayPal is one of the few platforms that doesn’t suffer from slow transaction times or limited acceptance like other e-wallets. However, in Kenya, PayPal use can be limited by regulations set by the Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB). In some cases, live casinos operating locally might not offer PayPal as an option.

Other issues to keep in mind:

• Fees for high-value transactions (for example, a US $10 fee is around KSh 1,298.70). By contrast, M-Pesa or Airtel Money fees on similar amounts usually cap below KSh 60.
• Potential for account freezing based on PayPal’s internal security scans—achana na mimi if they flag something.
• No anonymous play—you need a fully verified profile, so you can’t sneak around with ghost funds.
• Compared with other payment platforms, these drawbacks are minor, but worth knowing before you hit the tables.

All in all, PayPal remains a top choice for its convenience, security and solid customer support. Whether you’re chasing that big blackjack win or spinning the roulette wheel, it’s a trusty tool—just remember to have M-Pesa or Airtel Money on standby for those times when local rules or fees get in the way.
