PayPal is cracking down on March Madness gambling
3 hrs ago
If your NCAA pool has a bigger prize than bragging rights or a round of beers, make sure you don't use PayPal for those basketball-based transactions. Bloomberg Business Week says that the eBay-owned online payment company will restrict the accounts of any users they think are sending or receiving March Madness-related money. PayPal's user agreement (the one you totally read through line-by-line before clicking "Agree," right?) prohibits anyone from using the service for "activities that involve gaming and/or any other activity with an entry fee or a prize."



PayPal wouldn't say how they plan to ID any "alleged gamblers" but we're guessing it involves reading things like "TOLD YOU NOT TO PICK NORFOLK STATE" in the payment description.

Bah. PayPal seems to lock accounts for a bunch of random reasons these days. Luckily, it usually only takes a phone call to get your account opened back up.

sent $20 to Intertops (visa @Camera-8923745) this morning in order to qualify for a share of the $25k (top 25 + all ties) they are giving away. I need to wager at least $100 to qualify for a FREE contest. lol I got my $4 @ 20 % bonus, so al to do now is bet $10 on Texas/Cinncy over 60 pts 1st half and $10 on under 60 points.
I get 19.10 back or if if ends up 60 points I get $20 back. Worst I can do is
lose $4.50 of juice before my $100 wager limit is reached. Last year I ghad I horrible year and missed winning $723 by 1 point and the year before I won $467. Because of the $100 wagering limit, I think alot of people shy away from playing. Notice I didn't make this post until it was too late to enter.:D
