Take a close look at the four main ways to bet money online, and see which one is best for you.

1. Yes, you can use PayPal to bet online. It’s a popular and trusted way to make deposits into sportsbook apps. The downside is the cash-out wait period can take a few days, so you have to wait to spend your winnings.
2. If you want to transfer funds directly from your checking account into your sportsbook account (and you like extra paperwork) you’ll have to use ACH (Automated Clearing House). With ACH deposits, there are minimums and maximums, and it may take up to two business days to post to your account.
3. Credit cards and debit cards are trusted and usually reliable, except when it comes to online gambling sites. Sometimes card-issuing banks will decline gambling transactions, and if yours does go through, your bank may consider it cash advance and charge you a fee.
4. Play+ is the most convenient funding option because it was made for sports and casino gaming. It is also the only funding that accepts all of the other methods we just listed. That’s right, you can provision your Play+ account via PayPal, ACH, credit card, debit card, Vanilla Direct prepaid card and others. Once that is done, you will have instant access to your funds, without the delays associated with those other methods. Play+ works as a mobile wallet that you fund with your debit/credit card or bank account, and your winnings are ready almost instantly, to spend or bet again. Play+ also comes with a prepaid debit card to use at stores, restaurants and ATMs. You can also add Play+ to your favorite contactless payment app, like Apple Wallet, Google Pay or Samsung Pay.
