PayPal is a secure and widely trusted digital wallet that lets you fund your MyWinners account using a US-based, bank-funded PayPal account. While it's a convenient option for many players, PayPal imposes specific restrictions and limits when used for online wagering—so it’s important to understand how it works before making your first deposit.


How to Deposit with PayPal

To make a PayPal deposit, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your MyWinners account

  2. Open the Menu and select Deposit

  3. Choose PayPal as your payment method and click Start

  4. Enter the amount you wish to deposit

  5. Review the convenience fee (4.25% + $0.50 per transaction)

  6. Click Pay with PayPal to continue

  7. You’ll be redirected to PayPal—log in and select a bank-funded payment method

  8. Confirm and submit your deposit

🚫 NOTE: Deposits must be initiated through the MyWinners platform—you cannot fund your account directly through PayPal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can’t I deposit with PayPal if I’m using a debit or credit card?

PayPal prohibits credit and debit card funding for gambling transactions. Your account must be linked to a personal checking account with verified routing and account numbers.

Can I use multiple PayPal accounts on MyWinners.com?

No. For security reasons, you may only link one US-based PayPal account to your MyWinners profile.

How do I know if my PayPal deposit was successful?

After completing the PayPal checkout process, you’ll be redirected back to MyWinners. If your deposit was successful, you’ll receive a confirmation message and the funds will appear in your wallet.

Are PayPal withdrawals subject to the same limits as deposits?

Yes. PayPal withdrawals are capped at $4,500 per 24-hour period, and you cannot withdraw funds that are pending or have not cleared through the banking system.

What does ACH mean and how does it relate to PayPal?

ACH stands for Automated Clearing House, which is a secure network that moves funds between US banks. PayPal deposits and withdrawals on MyWinners use ACH transfers when linked to your bank account.
