With their irreverent marketing approach and a plethora of markets, plus a range of bonuses and offers, it’s no surprise that Paddy Power is one of the most popular bookies with UK and Irish bettors.

Key information

What is Paddy Power all about?

Bonuses

Paddy Power is renowned for its humorous, innovative marketing and that means there’s always a bonus or an offer to take advantage of. Whether it’s the current welcome offer that can earn you £30 in free bets if you deposit and bet £5.00 or the plethora of rewards, incentives or failed acca free bets on offer, there’s plenty of reasons to have an account with Paddy Power.

Available sports

Paddy Power has a wide range of sports and markets, including esports and virtual sports. But their bread and butter is their football and horse racing betting and I’d argue their markets and odds are among the very best you’ll find in the UK market.

User experience and interface

With its subtle white and green colourway, the Paddy Power website is smart and clutter-free. The layout is clear, with easy-to-find nav items. Help is available via the left hand navigation on the desktop website and via the person icon in the top right corner on both the website and the app.

Mobile and app compatibility

The Paddy Power app has some of the highest ratings for a betting app on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store and for good reason. The app is well designed, easy to use and does a great job of promoting their active offers for customers. And, with Face ID compatibility, logging in and getting to your bet is a piece of cake.  

App Store: 4.7/5 stars (217.4k ratings)

Google Play: 4.5/5 stars (36.9k reviews)

VIP programmes and loyalty rewards

Paddy’s Rewards Club offers regular bonuses, free bets and incentives for registered customers. At the time of writing, my account offered me the chance to earn a free £5.00 bet each week, as well as a two-question head start on their free Beat The Drop game.

Licensing

Paddy Power is licensed in the UK by the UK Gambling Commission and the Malta Gambling Authority.

Paddy Power’s payment methods are pretty much standard compared to their rivals, with debit cards and e-wallets including PayPal, Skrill and Neteller all available. However, Paddy Power doesn’t offer crypto betting.

Paddy Power is registered with the International Betting Adjudication Service [IBAS] via its parent company, Petfre (Gibraltar) Limited. They perform annual PCI-DSS assessments that enforce tight controls surrounding customers’ card details and data in order to protect that sensitive information. Paddy Power also performs annual independent security audits to fulfil requests from the UK Gambling Commission.

Responsible gambling measures

As you’d expect from a top-notch sports betting site, Paddy Power has a host of responsible gambling resources, including deposit limits, loss limits, reality checks, 'take a break', self-exclusion options and additional help and resources via a host of external bodies, including GamStop, the National Gambling Helpline and BeGambleAware.
