Paddy Power review (UK)
A strong football product with useful bet protections and a highly rated iPhone app. Its prices sat close to the sportsbook average in our sample, and its regulatory record is not clean.

What it does well
Paddy Power is built around football. Bet Builder, ACCA Stats, Super Sub and Ghost Leg tokens are all aimed at people building bets on a match, and Super Sub fixes a common complaint by moving a player bet to the substitute. Power Prices and Moneyback Specials give regular promotions, and Paddy's Rewards Club adds a loyalty layer.
Prices
In our sample Paddy Power sat just below the sportsbook average, so it is rarely the best price on a plain match result. Sister brand Betfair Sportsbook scored better on the same measure. The live figures on this page will change as our sample grows.
Trust
The betting licence sits with PPB Counterparty Services Limited. In December 2025 the Gambling Commission agreed a £2m settlement across four Paddy Power and Betfair licensees after finding systems were not sensitive enough to spot harm. In May 2023 the Commission fined the company £490,000 after an app notification reached self-excluded customers.
Flutter put up to 100 Paddy Power shops under review in September 2026. That affects shops, not the online product.
What we could not check
Paddy Power's site and help centre refused our checks, so we have not scored payments and do not quote deposit or withdrawal details. Check the cashier before you sign up.
