PayPal at online casinos: the honest picture for Malta residents
PayPal barely works at online casinos for players living in Malta, and the block is PayPal’s
own policy, not the casinos’. The one operator on our record that names PayPal lists seven
countries for it, and Malta is not among them. The six casinos below
accept Malta residents and take what works instead: Skrill, Neteller,
Revolut or MiFinity, each seen on the cashier of our own account registered in Malta.

The ranked list: where to play without PayPal
🏆 Top pick — the fastest e-wallet payout we timed: Skrill at NetBet, about three hours
My €20 went back to Skrill in about three hours on 11 July 2026, with a €0 fee shown on the request, and a €10 Revolut Mastercard deposit landed in full the same day. Two PayPal stand-ins, both used on this one account.

€7,000 of winnings went back to Skrill about 28 hours after I asked for it in October 2026, in one request. Skrill and NETELLER sit on both the deposit and the withdrawal list of our EUR account.

Skrill, Neteller and MiFinity sit on both sides of the cashier we read on 9 July 2026, at €50–€10,000 a payout and 0% fee. The terms send winnings back the way the deposit came in (clause 8.7.13), so the wallet you pay in with is the wallet that pays you.

NetBet and Betway lead because they are where we timed payouts to an e-wallet, the closest thing
to PayPal, from request to arrival: NetBet’s in about three hours, Betway’s €7,000 in about 28.
BitStarz follows: the payout we timed there went to Bitcoin in 46 minutes, and the same cashier
pays Skrill, Neteller and MiFinity. 888casino comes next on a completed withdrawal, then 777 on
the cashier we read. BC.Game sits last whatever its
numbers, because its domain is on the MGA’s list of unauthorised URLs.
Why PayPal rarely works for gambling from Malta
This is PayPal’s written position, not folklore. Its Acceptable Use Policy for Malta, which we
read again on 20 October 2026 (PayPal dates it 17 July 2023), puts “Gambling, Gaming, Prize Draws
and Contests” on its list of activities requiring approval, and only “if the operator and
customers are located exclusively in jurisdictions where such activities are permitted by law”.
Coverage follows PayPal’s map of approved markets, not the casino’s licence.
The cashiers show how that map treats Malta. 888casino, the one operator on our record that names
PayPal at all, says on its own banking page (read 26 September 2026) that “PayPal deposits are
available in Spain, UK, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Denmark and Sweden”: seven countries, no Malta.
The two cashiers we read in full on our own accounts, BitStarz and BC.Game, carry no PayPal option
on either side. For a player in Malta, PayPal is not blocked at the cashier so much as never
offered there.
Plan the exit before the deposit. Cashiers send money back the way it came in wherever they can:
BitStarz’s terms say so in clause 8.7.13, and Betway’s state that withdrawals are returned where
possible to the method used to deposit. Pay in with the wallet you want to be paid in.
Timed to an e-wallet. NetBet returned my €20 to Skrill in about three hours on 11 July 2026.
BC.Game paid €2,000 of winnings to Skrill in 9 hours 17 minutes the same day, and Betway paid
€7,000 of winnings to Skrill in about 28 hours on 21–22 October 2026. Each figure is one
withdrawal we timed from request to arrival.
Cards at 888casino. Its own policy rules out payouts to a Mastercard, so a Mastercard-funded
balance is refunded to the card and anything above it goes by Visa, an e-wallet you have
deposited from, or wire.
777’s stated timing. In 777’s own words, a request waits three business days in a pending
state you can cancel, and e-wallets then take one to two further business days.
Rarely. PayPal’s Acceptable Use Policy puts gambling on its list of activities that need its
approval, and only where operator and customers are located exclusively in jurisdictions that
permit it. 888casino lists PayPal deposits for seven countries, none of them Malta, and the
BitStarz and BC.Game cashiers we read on our own accounts have no PayPal option.
What do Malta residents use instead of PayPal at casinos?
Skrill or Neteller as the e-wallet, a Revolut card for phone-first payments, MiFinity where it
is offered, and Trustly or a SEPA bank transfer to pay from a bank. Skrill shows at all six
casinos on this page.
Which PayPal alternative pays out fastest?
Of the e-wallet withdrawals we timed, Skrill at NetBet was quickest: €20 in about three hours on
11 July 2026. BC.Game’s €2,000 Skrill payout took 9 hours 17 minutes, and Betway’s €7,000 to
Skrill about 28 hours. Crypto was faster still: our Bitcoin withdrawal at BitStarz arrived in
46 minutes. Each figure is one timed withdrawal.
Can casino winnings be paid back to PayPal from Malta?
Don’t count on it. 888casino offers PayPal only in seven other countries, and none of the
withdrawal lists we read on our accounts at BitStarz, Betway and BC.Game includes it. Cashiers
also send winnings back the way the deposit came in, so choose the wallet you want to be paid in
before you deposit.
