No Connected PayPal Funding Method
In order to deposit to theScore Bet, you must have an approved funding method that is available in your PayPal account before attempting a deposit.
Approved funding methods include a PayPal wallet balance or a verified bank account. Non-approved funding methods include credit and debit cards. If you have none of the aforementioned methods, you may be directed to an Add Card screen which will prompt you to add a card. You should not attempt to add a card as credit and debit cards are not accepted funding methods.
If you are prompted with the Add Card screen, we ask you to exit theScore Bet app and use either the PayPal app or a browser to connect a verified bank account to your PayPal account. Once you have connected a verified bank account to your PayPal account, you can re-open theScore Bet app and attempt another deposit.

Below the restricted card message, You will then see an option to add a verified bank account. Click on the `Add a Bank Account` button and follow the steps. Once the bank account is fully verified by PayPal, you can then attempt another deposit.
