Paddy Power

Paddy Power has been taking bets since 1988 and built its business in the UK and Ireland. It belongs to Flutter Entertainment, alongside Betfair and Sky Bet, and Flutter presents it as a brand built on humour.

Online bets from customers in Great Britain are placed with PPB Counterparty Services Limited, a Malta-headquartered company licensed by the Gambling Commission for remote betting under account 39439, the licence that covers paddypower.com. Paddy Power's betting shops in Great Britain trade under a separate non-remote licence held by Power Leisure Bookmakers Limited (account 1034).

Football and horse racing lead the sportsbook, where Paddy Power's own football tools, chiefly Super Sub and Bet Builder+, sit alongside in-play betting, Cash Out and Watch Live.

Paddy Power's app listings put football and horse racing first, followed by boxing, rugby, tennis, golf, darts, snooker and Formula 1, with the NFL named on its Google Play page. Markets are offered before events and in-play.

For combining selections, the app supports accumulators, Bet Builders and Bet Builder+, and ACCA Stats looks back over your own multiples.

Football coverage spans the Premier League and Champions League, the Euros and the World Cup, with match and player markets before kick-off and in-play.

Super Sub is Paddy Power's substitution feature, limited to qualifying player-performance markets in selected competitions, which carry its icon. If the player you backed is replaced, the bet rolls over to the substitute and can still win if they achieve the outcome. It works pre-play and in-play, and only regulation time counts, including stoppage time but not extra time.

Bet Builder combines selections within one match, including fouls and shots on target, and Bet Builder+ stretches the idea across several games and events, with a tracker following each leg live.

Paddy Power's app listings single out Cheltenham, the Grand National, the Epsom Derby and Glorious Goodwood among its racing festivals. UK and Irish racing is priced for win and each-way betting under Paddy Power's standard settlement rules, with forecasts and tricasts too, and in-running markets let you bet once a race is under way. Watch Live is available on selected horse races, with access conditions depending on the meeting.

Best Odds Guaranteed is an opt-in promotion, not automatic: customers registered in the UK or Ireland must opt in first, and it covers win and each-way singles and multiples on UK and Irish racing placed from 8am on race day. Since 11 August 2026 a bet needs a total stake of at least £5, and ante-post, in-running, forecast and international racing bets are excluded, among others.

In-play betting covers live sport across the sportsbook, so missing the kick-off or the start of a race need not stop you betting.

Cash Out settles an eligible bet, or a portion of it, before the event finishes, locking in a profit or a loss. Eligible markets carry a Cash Out marker and My Bets shows the value on offer, but some markets are excluded and a request is never guaranteed: it can fail if the market suspends, the odds move, a technical problem occurs or event coverage drops out.

Paddy Power Sports Betting can be installed from the App Store on iPhone and iPad, or from Google Play on Android. The App Store rates it 18+ and Google Play gives it a PEGI 18 rating.

The app gathers Super Sub, Bet Builder+, ACCA Stats, Player Stats, Cash Out, in-play betting and Watch Live in one place.

Paddy Power's tools include Deposit Controls, Loss Limits and Self-Exclusion, which it describes as a way to keep customers in control. Separately, Paddy Power can apply a Spend Budget to an account, based on net deposits. It is distinct from a Deposit Control you set yourself, and where both exist the lower remaining amount applies.

Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed and, for UK customers, extends across Flutter's UK brands, Betfair and Sky Betting & Gaming among them, as well as Paddy Power. GAMSTOP extends a block to every online operator licensed by the Gambling Commission.
