Did pp change policies? I just looked andthis is listed in policy
ayPal requires pre-approval to accept payments for certain services as detailed in the chart below.
Mature Audience Content
Any adult content delivered digitally including video on demand (VOD) and web-cam activities. PayPal may be restricted from processing payments in certain jurisdictions for adult DVD’s, magazines and other adult themed products or services.
you can stream real porn and get payment wit hpaypal. But you need approval of pp. Or how do all those adult devs having a patreon get money? patreon collects money with paypal too. Of course, if you live in one of them unfree countries that try tomeddle in payments for stuff that is legal elsewhere, you have it tough.
Makes you wonder how big player like Steam does it. I know of smaller player, nutaku, with paid adult games, they do use credit cards directly. Or at least not with stripe. They use probiller and yes, that processor does do work for some hardcore porn sites as well. At least that is the user side of the coin. I do not know how payout to devs is handled. But I have seen games on nutaku that are on itch as well.
