The UK and US Market Opens Up for Gamban
PayPal has added Gamban's blocking software to its platform, allowing UK and US customers to halt online gambling transactions.
PayPal adds Gamban's blocking software to its platform, allowing clients in the United Kingdom and the United States to halt online gambling transactions.
This includes a wide range of online gambling transactions, such as games of chance or skill with a prize and an admission fee. Casino games such as table games and slot machines, whether actual or virtual, are also covered.
The user can also refuse transactions with gambling-related businesses.
Sports betting, horse or greyhound racing, person-to-person betting, and lottery tickets are all examples of gambling transactions that could be blocked.
The user can also refuse transactions with gambling-related businesses, such as websites that provide gambling advice, intermediaries who place bets or organized forums that facilitate person-to-person betting.
PayPal Revises Its Controls and Payment Policies
After receiving reports that the platform was being used to encourage excessive online gambling, PayPal underwent a review of its controls and payment policies in 2019.
According to Gamban, a gambling blocking platform, PayPal's option to stop gambling transactions is a welcome addition to the gambling recovery toolkit.
“Between blocking gambling transactions at your bank and PayPal, blocking online gambling with Gamban, self-excluding yourself with Gamstop and seeking support from GamCare you’ll give yourself the best chance at recovery.”, reflected Gamban.
