PayPal Launches Gamban to Block Gambling Transactions
PayPal has introduced a new software called Gamban that can block gambling transactions. Gamban is a software designed for those who struggle with gambling addiction. The software is available for all PayPal users in the United States and the UK.
Gamban can block transactions including games of skill or chance which require entrance fees and rewards winners. It can also block all casino games if activated, including craps, faro, baccarat, blackjack, pachinko pai gow, roulette, and virtually any other casino game imaginable.
The UK Gambling Commission introduced a ban on using credit cards to make gambling-related purchases in 2020. This move by PayPal is seen as a step towards promoting healthy gambling habits.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
