Anyone knows of a service like paypal that gives the ability to transfer funds between users (bank to bank using credit card) that has worldwide usability but also doesn't mind to be used for gambling actions (bets and winning funds).

Thanks for any help.

A quick update and practical checklist for a question like ’s (services like PayPal that will handle gambling-related transfers).

Several replies here correctly pointed to e‑wallets and niche services — named Neteller, mentioned StormPay/PrepaidATM, suggested Greenzap, and referenced OBOPAY, and posted a payment-merchant list. Those were useful starting points, but card networks and major PSPs now explicitly restrict gambling except for underwritten, licensed operators — many platforms will block person‑to‑person bets unless the merchant is approved. (paypal.com)

What actually matters now (short version): mainstream processors either forbid gambling or only allow it after strict underwriting; regulated operators must hold licences and satisfy KYC/AML obligations; expect higher fees, rolling reserves and tighter chargeback controls. Before you talk to any PSP, get answers in writing to: (1) which countries/jurisdictions they permit, (2) whether they accept person‑to‑person or only merchant payouts, and (3) underwriting, reserve and chargeback terms. See Stripe’s restricted-business guidance and licensing requirements such as the UK Gambling Commission’s remote‑operator rules. (stripe.com)

Practical options and tradeoffs: iGaming‑specialist providers and digital wallets (for example, Paysafe’s Skrill/NETELLER ecosystem) are the usual route for licensed operators because they offer gaming-focused rails and integrations — but they require operator licenses, AML/KYC and usually impose reserves/fees. If the goal is informal person‑to‑person betting, most processors will treat that as prohibited; a safer architecture is an internal ledger (hold funds on platform, then pay out via a regulated PSP) or to use prepaid/alternative rails with legal review. Budget for compliance and higher processing costs up front. (paysafe.com)

Quick checklist to follow now:

  • Confirm legal position in every country you’ll serve and get licences where required.
  • Ask PSPs for written, signed confirmation they accept gambling business for the jurisdictions you need.
  • Prepare full KYC/AML, RTP (responsible‑gambling) and geoblocking capabilities.
  • Model higher fees, chargeback risk and rolling reserves; keep secondary processors as backups.

This gives a current, compliance‑first approach that builds on the older suggestions in the thread while avoiding sudden account terminations or frozen funds.

There's a site called Obopay.

It allows payment by text messaging and also person to person, bank transfer, creditcard transfer... it's great.
Cost nothing to receive money! Only cost 10 cents to send!
Alot better than PayPal I'd say.
You get $10 for signing up for promotional ads right now! If you want to sign up, click this link and I also make a small referral.

Just go to the bottom of the page and click the "Need an Obopay?" button to sign up.

You can find a full list of sites that offer a similar service to paypal here:

Helped me - i use 3 different companies, so if one goes down / out of business / fees increase etc, there is still two more to fall back on. Let your customers choose which one they want to pay through.
