I also had my account limited for having a gambling category section today. I received the exact email as you however mine stated this for number one. Now here is what I do not understand. If you follow the link in the email which is here: http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/ua/use/index_frame-outside&ed=gambling No where on the site does it state it is against their policy to accept money from a gambling account if it is not related to gambling what so ever. No where does it state that we as directory owners are not allowed to receive payment for a simple link review. I am a little different from casionguy as I do not have any casion websites nor am I affiliated with any casion web sites. Here is a direct quote from their web site. My question is how is what we are doing have anything to do with this at all. Accepting money for a link review is in no way a form of gambling. And by the way, even by removing the gambling category section my account is still limited.
yes, i don't see anything wrong with accepting quality gambling links. Have had no problems with PP so far.... casinobonusguy, perhaps u can clarify the matter with PP and let us know their explanation? Think everyone will be very appreciative
jl255 I have sent them two emails and also phoned them as well. The phone call was a waste of time and they simply refered me to email them. I posed the same questions as stated above in more depth to them in the email. I am awaiting a reply, I will let everyone know the reply.
If this is for real I think I am gonna have to go close my paypal, I can't do business with socially backward companies like that, is the CEO some sort of inbred christian fundamentalist or something?
I've been accepting gambling related sites, and nothing happened to me. But now I have a new payment processor
Does this only affect US paypal accounts? I know that you can even place bets in the UK using paypal (eg. betfair.com) so it's pretty hypocritical of them to ban directories for accepting gambling links..
Still take Paypal but credit cards too... Yep, correct. I wanted to take credit cards & Paypal without using both Paypal and 2CO. So now it is done through one processor.
i have gambling links on www.vrcharts.com for 8 months and no problems with paypal .As for how i got the paypal back so fast i refunded the $15.00 and removed all gambling links from www.luxaco.com .it took less than 2 hours for my account to be restored.I really think it is a case by case basis how they decide on proceeding.In my case , I have $xx,xxx per month in business going through my paypal so i dont think they would want to lose it all for $15.00
I truly feel that this is the case. When doing $xx,xxx in business, that allocates very close to, if not a little more than $x,xxx in paypal fees. How stupid would they have to be to lose $x,xxx over $15? hahaha
@OP: Your name as well is a bit suspicious but anyways what i dont understand is that if Paypal limits your account for accepting payments for a gambling,adult etc link, why doesn't Paypal completely bans or limits the account of the person buying those links through Paypal I might sound weird but thats what i am wondering right now
My name is not suspecious , no secret that i own www.casinobonusguy.com and i proudly support online gambling.To my gambling friends dont worry I will not abandon you , I have a gambling directory without paypal .And i have a pr7 website just for us riff raff
I removed the gambling section on my bidding directories and received this email. However I did not receive one single answer to any of my questions that I asked. I sent another email as well as contacted them via phone one more time. Lets see if I can get a response now.
Scary indeed, especially if the guy is not guilty for the online gambling Well, why not setting up another credit card processor if the client is casino?
