Since becoming independent again, PayPal is debt-free and in a prime position to grow. Therefore, according to former Wall Street trader now world poker champion Andy Frankenberg, PayPal’s renewed participation in regulated online gambling markets, especially if more US states follow suit, makes perfect sense and would be a great opportunity for them.
This of course is great news for players and operators alike, as PayPal is a major trusted e-wallet provider world-wide.
