How to play Paddy Power poker

Start by choosing the playing route that suits your device, then use the poker offering's table limits or tournament buy-ins to find a format that matches your plans. Paddy Power also links play at the tables to its Rewards Club, where rewards are based on each player's level of play.

Paddy Power offers poker in Great Britain, with table limits and tournament buy-ins designed to accommodate different bankrolls and playing aims. Table play lets you select a limit before you join, while a tournament uses its stated buy-in as the entry condition.

The Rewards Club adds a further account feature: your level of play at the tables determines the rewards you receive. Check the applicable table or tournament details before joining so you understand the amount involved and the type of play you are selecting.

Paddy Power accepts players from Great Britain. The minimum age is 18, shown as 18+, so you must meet that age requirement before playing.

• Identity checks: players in Great Britain must verify their identity. Electronic verification checks are required at sign-up, and Paddy Power may ask for further information after those checks; complete the requested process before accessing play.
• Documents: acceptable identity-verification documents include Photographic ID, such as a Passport or driving license, together with a Utility bill or bank statement. Keep the relevant documents available if further information is requested.
• VPN access: players in Great Britain may not use a VPN to access Paddy Power's site. Use a normal connection when signing in and playing.
• Inactive accounts: an account inactive for 24 consecutive months is deemed dormant, but it can be reactivated at any time by logging in and no dormant account fees are charged. An account inactive for 7 consecutive years is deleted, so sign in before that point if you want to keep access.

For a first visit, register and complete the electronic checks before selecting a poker table or tournament. If you return after a period away, log in to reactivate a dormant account rather than creating a new one.
