PayPal Casinos

The History of PayPal

PayPal has gone through many changes since it first launched. It began when two companies, X.com and Confinity, launched separate, similar products which were in competition in the financial market. The first version of PayPal was released by Confinity in 1999 and by 2000 this company and X.com had merged to add their combined experience and talent to the product. They initially went forward with the X.com name but quickly reverted to PayPal and made the move to adopt eBay as a key platform for growing its user numbers and because eBay needed a reliable online payment system. They tried to launch their own system, Billpoint, but quite quickly found the competition from PayPal was fierce and this resulted in eBay acquiring PayPal in 2002 and then experienced absolutely huge growth that outperformed even their parent company.

From 2010 onwards PayPal made the decision to move forward into new territories which included in-store payments, international growth, micropayments and more tools directed specifically at the small to medium sized business market. They launched some hardware to complement their product and also collaborated with physical stores to make in-store payments a reality.

In September 2014 the partnership between eBay and PayPal was confirmed as over. The split allows PayPal to work more flexibly and whilst it still offers eBay its service it is able to grow in new directions and this includes the service they offer to the online casino market.
