During registration, identity verification checks that you are who you say you are. Passing the electronic checks does not necessarily finish the process: Paddy Power may then ask you for further information.

Who can open an account, and what gets checked?

Players in Great Britain can register, and the minimum age to play is 18. Identity verification is required at sign-up, so it forms part of opening your account rather than something to leave until later.

  1. 1
    Check that you meet the minimum age and territory rules before registering.
  2. 2
    Complete the electronic identity checks during sign-up.
  3. 3
    Provide further information if Paddy Power requests it after those checks.

For related guidance, see Paddy Power safer gambling.

Can you use the Paddy Power app?

Paddy Power distributes its Android app through Google Play and its iOS app through the App Store. You can therefore use the store for your phone's platform to find the app.

The App Store lists the iOS app at about 150.4 MB, a useful size to check against your available storage before downloading. See the Paddy Power app guide for the phone options.

Which promotion conditions matter when you register?

Paddy Power's promotion terms tie these offers to new-customer eligibility and registration codes. The qualifying actions differ.

Sports free bets

The Get £30 in free bets when you place a £5 bet on sports offer is for new customers resident in the United Kingdom or Republic of Ireland who open an account using code YSKAST.

  • The Get £30 in free bets when you place a £5 bet on sports offer requires a minimum £5 deposit using Pay by Bank, a debit card or Apple Pay, so the deposit method matters for eligibility.
  • The Get £30 in free bets when you place a £5 bet on sports offer requires a minimum £5 sports bet at minimum odds EVS (2.0).
  • The Get £30 in free bets when you place a £5 bet on sports offer requires all staking requirements to be completed within 30 days of account registration; that deadline starts when the account opens.
  • The Get £30 in free bets when you place a £5 bet on sports offer awards the £30 sports free bet after the qualifying bet settles, rather than when it is placed.
  • Once awarded, free bets from the Get £30 in free bets when you place a £5 bet on sports offer remain valid for 30 days.

Free-bet stakes are not returned with winnings under this offer, so the stake itself is not included in a winning return.

Free spins

The free spins offer gives new UK and Ireland Paddy Power customers 70 free spins, worth £0.10 each, on eligible slot games when they register using code PGGTV1.

You must be age verified to use this offer. The free spins offer locks all 70 free spins to the first game you redeem them on, so choose that eligible game before starting.

The free spins offer has no wagering requirement, and the spins expire after 7 days. See the free spins guide for more on using them.

What can you use the account for?

Paddy Power runs a sportsbook and offers live casino in Great Britain. Its library contains at least 1,000 games across at least 10 categories, including Live Casino, Jackpot Slots and Original Slots.

At least 15 providers are represented, including Playtech, IGT and Big Time Gaming. The live casino selection includes at least 12 games, with Live Roulette, Live Buffalo Blitz and Crazy Time among the choices.

Other promotions have their own access conditions:

  • Paddy's Three-For-All promotion has an 18+ eligibility condition.
