Draftkings adds PayPal for payment
Reading Time: 2 minutes
DraftKings Sportsbook, the first company that offered sports betting in New Jersey, has finally added PayPal into the list of payment options.
Previously the company offered deposit and withdrawals options only through Visa, MasterCard and bank transfer, apart from the daily fantasy sports account of the company.
At the initial weeks that was not a problem because the customers did not have choice. But when other companies entered the fray with their sportsbooks, and with PayPal as a transaction option, DraftKings started feeling the heat.
If you are familiar with the world of online casinos in New Jersey, a lack of options for depositing can be a problem for a new site or app. Many banks will decline any transactions dealing with online gambling, even though it’s legal in New Jersey.
DraftKings was dealing with a lot of frustrated customers who wanted to bet, but could not get money online directly.
FanDuel Sportsbook – one of DraftKings’ competitors – outlines the pretty directly with an FAQ on its site:
While most major banks allow online wagering, the following will decline transactions with online wagering companies:
- Bank of America
- Capital One
- Wells Fargo
- TD Bank
- Union Bank
- Huntington Bank
- Most prepaid cards
That includes some very big banks that also issue credit cards.
DraftKings beat everyone, by weeks, to offer online sports betting. But that first-mover advantage was not going to carry DraftKings to a lead in the NJ sports betting industry forever.
If it was going to compete, adding a payment option like PayPal was a near necessity. Three other online sports betting sites – FanDuel, Caesars online casino and SugarHouse Sportsbook – all had PayPal live already.
Now the playing field will be a bit more level. We get the first online sports betting revenue and handle numbers this week in New Jersey. But we will see how the competition is shaking out better once the numbers are in from September, when DraftKings was finally operating against challengers.

Sought-after software provider’s enhanced Premium release sees players step into the glow of the Far East as wild symbols and Quadspins combine for huge rewards
With Swintt having already opened the way to a world of wonder in the original Lucky Fortune Door, this month the award-winning software provider is back in action again with Lucky Fortune Door Wild – an exciting reboot that gives players even more ways to win!
Like its SwinttPremium predecessor, Lucky Fortune Door Wild is a five-reel slot that can be played with either five or ten paylines. Boasting an engaging Far East theme, the slot combines dragons, yin and yang pendants and coins with new golden ingot wilds that substitute for all other symbols.
The good news for fans of the original game is that the slot’s signature Quadspin mechanic again makes a welcome return. Activated whenever a win of at least 4x the bet is triggered, players will have the choice to either claim their current prize or gamble a portion of it to activate Quadspins.
Should they decide for the latter option, the gameboard will be divided into four separate reel sets to potentially quadruple the prizes on offer – and of course, with substitute wilds now also in play, the chances of players landing the slot’s maximum 6,000x win multiplier will be greatly increased.
As a further incentive, during Quadspins, an extra mystery symbol is also added to the reels. Should any instances of this icon appear on any of the four reel sets, they will be replaced by a random matching symbol to create additional payline wins and generate potentially huge prizes.
On top of this, should players continue to land wins of 4x their bet or greater during Quadspins, they can elect to remain in the feature for longer. With a maximum of 50 Quadspin available per set, the odds of them embarking on a prolonged winning streak are, therefore, much more likely.
To cap it off, all wins in Lucky Fortune Door Wild are paid from both left-to-right and right-to-left, meaning that no matter how aggressively players choose to play, fortune is only ever a spin away.
David Mann, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “With Swintt’s signature Quadspin mechanic proving a hugely popular addition to our Premium line-up, we’re delighted to be giving the feature another outing in Lucky Fortune Door Wild. Offering the same great gameplay as the original release but now with added wilds, it’s sure to be a big hit with players and operators alike.”
