So i got permanently limited due to what I assume is being commissioner of a single yahoo fantasy football league of 12 teams. All of the teams in our league reside in states where FF is perfectly legal. What I dont understand is why I would get blocked for no warning. I opened my paypal account long before i even knew about fantasy football and of course never look at legal as Im not a criminal and Fantasy sports pools like I said are perfectly legal where I and our players reside. Ive tried emailing 2 different distros about this and contacting paypal through twitter. I cant even get a call back or email from the About this. So am I just wasting my time even trying. I do t use paypal that often but just suck that i can't even get a call back with further explanation.
Same thing happened to me last night. I have been on paypal for 20 years and they closed my account saying i violated the acceptable use policy. Customer service says the decision is final and they are given no details about what exactly violated the policy. There is no way to appeal either.
I am commissioner of a fantasy football league and I was collecting our league fees through paypal, so i am guessing that was the reason. Fantasy Football is not illegal but paypal is a higher authority apparently.
Hopefully all that are following read this. PayPal does indeed transfer money from Yahoo Sports. I just received mine. All those that are posting otherwise obviously don’t know what they’re talking about. Make sure you bank account is linked to PayPal. Yahoo takes a few days to approve the withdrawal. It then pops up in PayPal and you can deposit it into your account. It takes 1-3 days for the deposit for free or you can pay 1.5% to have it quicker. Good luck to all and make sure you’re in a state that allows the sports betting. @kernowlass@Jongunz@dowdj Hope this helps.
Didn't say that they did not pay out, I said it was against paypals acceptable use policy to use your account for gaming or gambling regardless of your state rules.
You can gamble away in your state, but don't use your paypal account before you get prior approval or you may get limited as well like the OP.
