For sports betting, you can choose pre-match bets before an event or in-play bets while it is under way: Paddy Power offers both in Great Britain. The other decisions to make before depositing are which games you want, how you will withdraw and which account checks you need to complete.


Which parts of Paddy Power suit how you play?

The choice extends from a sportsbook to live casino and a library of at least 1,000 games. Use the product range to narrow your choice before comparing offers.

What can change the outcome of a sports bet?

Cash Out availability and dead-heat settlement rules matter when choosing a bet. Cash Out lets you settle a bet early for an offered amount rather than wait for the final result. Paddy Power does not make it available on every sportsbook market, so do not base your selection on being able to use it later.

For a dead heat, Paddy Power divides the total stake by the number of tied participants, then multiplies that share by the odds taken. A tied result therefore changes the stake used in the settlement calculation.


How do deposits and withdrawals affect your choice?

Choose a deposit method with the return route in mind. Paddy Power has 11 deposit methods, including Visa & Mastercard debit cards, Pay by Bank and Bank transfer. Its 9 withdrawal methods include Visa & Mastercard debit cards, Pay by Bank and PayPal.

Account currencies include GBP and EUR, but accounts in Great Britain use GBP. Deposits and withdrawals are processed in the originally selected currency. Paddy Power charges no payment fees.

  • The minimum deposit is £5, so your funding amount must meet that threshold.
  • Credit cards cannot be used for deposits; use an accepted alternative.
  • Withdrawal minimums depend on the method and range from 1p to £10.
  • You must withdraw at least the total deposited through each payment method back to that method before sending additional funds through another chosen method.
  • Rapid Transfer withdrawals become available after your first deposit has been successfully credited.
  • Before your first Bank Transfer withdrawal, you must provide a bank statement and Photo ID; prepare both before making that request.

Card withdrawals to all Visa cards and participating Mastercard cards should reach your bank account within 1-4 hours. Standard card withdrawals should reach the bank 2-5 working days from the request date. Pay by Bank is the quickest withdrawal method, making it relevant if withdrawal speed influences how you fund the account.

What do you need before opening an account?

Players in Great Britain can open an account and must be at least 18. Paddy Power is regulated by the Gambling Commission; the licence guide covers its regulatory position.

Identity verification is required at sign-up through electronic checks. Passing those checks does not rule out a later request for further information. Document examples include photographic ID, such as a passport or driving licence, and a utility bill or bank statement, so keep these accessible.

You may not use a VPN to access Paddy Power from Great Britain. Access the site without one.

For customers in the United Kingdom, an account becomes dormant after 24 consecutive months of inactivity. Logging in reactivates it, and no dormant-account fees are charged. After 7 consecutive years of inactivity, the account is deleted.


Which offers match the way you intend to play?

The sports and slots sign-up offers have different qualifying conditions and registration codes. Under Paddy Power’s offer terms, the requirements are as follows.

Sports free bets

Eligibility for the Get £30 in free bets offer requires you to be a new customer living in the United Kingdom or Republic of Ireland and to enter YSKAST when opening your account. For the Get £30 in free bets offer, your deposit must be at least £5 and made through Pay by Bank, a debit card or Apple Pay.

The Get £30 in free bets offer also requires a minimum £5 sports bet at minimum odds EVS (2.0).

For the Get £30 in free bets offer, all staking requirements must be completed within 30 days of registration. Settlement of your qualifying bet triggers the £30 sports free bet award under the Get £30 in free bets offer. Once awarded, free bets under the Get £30 in free bets offer have a validity period of 30 days.

Free bet stakes are not returned with winnings, so the stake itself is excluded from any winning return.

Slots free spins

The free spins offer gives 70 free spins worth £0.10 each on eligible slot games, with no wagering requirement. It is for new UK and Ireland customers who register using PGGTV1 and must be age verified.

The free spins offer expires after 7 days. The spins lock to the first game on which you redeem them, so choose that eligible game before using them.

Other promotions

  • Paddy's Wonder Wheel promotion provides a daily spin for a chance at prizes including free spins, cash, bonuses and scratch cards; free spins, cash and sportsbook bets are given away on the wheel.
  • Paddy's Rewards Club promotion requires opting in and provides regular, easy-to-understand promotions and bonuses for loyal players.
  • Paddy's Three-For-All promotion has an 18+ eligibility requirement.

The Paddy’s Free Bingo Room offer is limited to selected UK and Ireland registered Paddy Power Bingo customers. The Paddy’s Free Bingo Room offer runs free games for 6 hours daily, between 12:00 – 18:00, until further notice. The Paddy’s Free Bingo Room offer allows a maximum of 12 free tickets per game.

All prizes in the Paddy’s Free Bingo Room offer are paid in cash, with guaranteed prizes of £5 for a House win, £3 for 2 Lines and £2 for 1 line.



Can you use Paddy Power on your phone?

Yes. Install the Android app from Google Play or the iOS app from the App Store. The iOS App Store listing gives a size of about 150.4 MB, which you can use when checking storage before installation.

The Paddy Power app guide covers the two phone platforms.


Where can you get help and set boundaries?

English-language support is available 24/7 through live chat for registered users and X. Live chat requires an account; see the support guide to choose your contact route.

Paddy Power also offers tools for setting limits and reviewing your play:

  • Deposit and loss limits let you set boundaries on funding and losses.
  • Time-outs provide a break from gambling.
  • Reality checks prompt you to review time spent playing.
  • Self-exclusion restricts your access to gambling.
  • A budget calculator helps you consider spending against your budget.
  • A self-assessment questionnaire helps you reflect on your gambling.

Review the safer gambling tools before playing if you want to put boundaries in place from the start.
