PayPal: familiar, and about half the apps charge you
Seven taps, about a day. Roughly half these apps attach a fee, and you meet it on the confirm screen rather than anywhere you would have looked first.
Every site that takes PayPal
Some of these buttons pay Loon Picks a commission. The sort is the recorded wait on this rail, quickest first, and paying us does not move a row up it.

The fee is at the end of the flow
Not in the terms, not on the banking page. At the last screen, after you have entered the amount and are one tap from done. Sometimes flat, sometimes a percentage.
That placement is not an accident either. It is the moment you are least likely to back out.
Two reviews, one day
PayPal is instant everywhere else on your phone. Gambling transactions get a second review from PayPal on top of the app's own, so a day is normal here. Quickest we have seen is an hour, slowest three days.
Six of the eleven apps also insert a friction screen. Sign-in with Face ID is the one nice part of the flow.
One good reason to use it
Keeping this money away from your chequing account. If your PayPal balance is the entertainment budget, the C$20 floor and the occasional fee buy you that separation cleanly.
For pure cost, Interac is free in forty eight apps.
