    We've all heard that banks don't like signs of gambling on ones account. What is the best way to circumvent this problem?

    IE - If I topup with Paypal, does the bank only get knowledge of the paypal transaction or do they know where the money went after paypal?

    The transaction show's up on your statement as PPonline. If quized by the bank you can call it anything. I may stand corrected but I don't think Paddy Power take Pay Pal (As they are obliged by law not to let the yanks gamble online). Just keep your transactions to a minimum and your bank shouldn't worry that you've a gambling problem when you apply for a loan.

    There's an option on the website to deposit funds via paypal.

    Just goes to show when the last time I was on it was. If you pay by PayPal the only thing that will show up on your statment is PayPal*pponline* so you'll be grand anyway.

    I can assure you the banks will be fully aware of what "pponline" means so be careful.

    If you want to use Paddy Power the cash card is ideal.

    If you want to use other bookmakers I recommend skrill (moneybookers).

    A third option is a prepaid mastercard from Payzone but you can't withdraw to that card.

    Banks know moneybookers is for gambling. Just top up your account in store is the best thing or get a ukash voucher

    Paddy Power and the cash card system is perfect. There's no way I'm having a gambling company on my bank history (even though I'll be only gambling small amounts).
