How do I block payments to online casinos/gambling?

[Fraggle2]

Hi All - I've read that you can block payments being allowed to online casinos and gambling outfits, so that when you choose paypal as the method to deposit, it doesn't let you. Does anyone know how to do this within Paypal as I cant find any options for it. Thanks!

I'm curious about this now, too, just because I didn't know about this feature and I'm also not finding where to do it.  I see lots of articles about how they introduced this, but not finding where to enable it.

I was expecting to find it under Account Settings -> Payment Preferences -> Block Payments, but it doesn't have anything related to gambling payments there.

I would suggest you reach out to the PayPal Message Center to ask about this.  You won't get an instant answer, but they should be able to help you get it enabled on the account if it does indeed exist.

Or maybe somebody can do that here, too, but I've had good luck with that sort of thing using the message center.

Sorry I don't have a better immediate answer for you!
