PayPal
· PayPal Acceptable Use Policy
This provision requires PayPal pre-approval for any business accepting payments for cryptocurrency, virtual in-game currencies, or non-fungible tokens (NFTs), defined broadly as any digital representation of value that can be traded, transferred, or used for payment. The definition's breadth encompasses NFTs and virtual gaming assets beyond traditional cryptocurrency....
Why it matters: The definition of cryptocurrency adopted in this provision is notably broad, covering NFTs and virtual in-game currencies in addition to traditional cryptocurrencies, which means businesses in gaming, digital collectibles, or metaverse commerce may be subject to the pre-approval requirement without clearly identifying as cryptocurrency operators. The inclusion of NFTs and in-game currencies extends the pre-approval obligation into sectors that may not primarily self-identify with cryptocurrency....
-
PayPal
· PayPal Acceptable Use Policy
This provision requires PayPal pre-approval for businesses operating gambling, gaming, or prize-based activities including casino games, sports betting, fantasy sports, sweepstakes, and games of skill, subject to the condition that both the operator and customers are located exclusively in jurisdictions where such activities are lawfully permitted.

Why it matters: The explicit inclusion of 'games of skill (whether or not legally defined as gambling)' and 'sweepstakes' within the pre-approval requirement extends the obligation to business models that do not legally constitute gambling in their operating jurisdiction. The jurisdictional condition requiring that both operator and all customers be located in permissive jurisdictions creates a cross-border compliance monitoring obligation for any business operating in this category....
-

-
PayPal
· PayPal Acceptable Use Policy

Why it matters: The inclusion of medical tourism within this pre-approval category extends PayPal's oversight requirement to cross-border healthcare payment arrangements, which engage multiple national licensing and regulatory frameworks simultaneously. The standard 'holding itself out as a provider of health-care services' applies regardless of whether the provider is formally licensed, capturing unlicensed health service representations....
-
PayPal
· PayPal Acceptable Use Policy
This provision prohibits PayPal transactions involving the promotion of hate, violence, or discriminatory content, the financial exploitation of a crime, and payments made or received for bribery or corruption purposes. The bribery and corruption prohibition covers both the offering and receiving sides of corrupt payment arrangements....
Why it matters: The bribery and corruption prohibition covers both making and receiving corrupt payments, meaning the clause applies to both the payer and the payee in a corrupt transaction. The financial exploitation of a crime category is not further defined in the document, creating interpretive ambiguity about the scope of transactions captured....

-
Audible
· Audible Conditions of Use
