Paddy Power Review

Never again. Racing Post promoted Paddy Power for Cheltenham this year. Open an account for 10 and get 50 worth of Bets (plus 2 a day free) absolutely fine until you win then they suspend the account requesting verification (which due diligence should have meant they did it before opening an account). Suspended on day 2 of Cheltenham and it has taken 7 days trying to get it unlocked despite having sent everything. I have spent hours of my life on chat, on one day 7 different agents over 3 hours. So I made a complaint and only got resolution after asking for a reference as I had been escalated to Paddy Powers Management Resolution Team after asking for the reference all of a sudden they managed to unsuspend my account. Needless to say. I am shutting down and will never ever recommend them to anyone at all.

I have used Paddy Power for a number of years now, and always been happy with the easy use of their site. But sadly I am looking now for another sports bookie, because Paddy Power have massively reduced their best odds guaranteed races, many of my friends have also noticed the removal of this benefit

Worst thing I did was re open my account with these scumbags, last year lost over 6000, I only play 20p SPINS!! They haven’t changed, hardly any bonus features, very little payouts, 95% of SPINS are dead SPINS, wish I’d stuck to my guns and stayed away

Scam site of a casino, constant deposits and not one bonus per deposit. I am not talking random I’m talking 400 deposits low stakes, several different slots zero bonuses. Deposit again next same exactly the same. It’s rigged to a different level. Avoid this scammers it’s different level rigged, should be illegal.

Greedy greedy site, over 400 SPINS and not one bonus feature I’ll never deposit another penny on these absolute rip off scumbags

played big bass splash 50p a spin got one tiny return 130 spins 1 return. total lost 64.51 Paddypower have a random thing in play, so if thats so then clearly the game is broken 129 losing spins out of 130 spins canNOT be right. try to contact support but just kept talking to a robot and no answers. should test the random thing cos that doesn’t seem random. everyone knows only paddypower wins not the player, but those odds are ridiculous.

this company has branded me a self excluded personi have never self excluded on any siteit was between Christmas and new year 2022/23i went to play online poker on poker stars and was banned because of paddy power saying i was self excluded ,, the mistake was sorted buy poker stars in less than a week they informed me that i was not the person paddy claimed and i was reinstated. No chance getting through to them people at paddy i wrote to manager director in london, and got stupid bloke called steve spouting from their help centre that safe gambling dept, of there dodgy crude company company say i have to show them everything but the kitchen sink to prove who i am, despite it being a mistake buy them, i do not want to use their inept company but they are holding info about me which is wrong and which they will not rectify ,i do not think this is legal and am planning my next move to challenge this dreadful company, i have never self excluded myself on any betting site. richard stewart

I have always stated that Paddy Power is absolutely useless like probably asis most of them but today really hits the truth home I tried on Friday 17/3/23 to do Rachel Blackmores 5 horses that she riding today for 1 e/w accum but they would not let me do it a message came up in red the maximum bet for this bet is 0.00 now really does this make any sense the chances of this bet coming up are slim and even if it did win it would not break the bank and that is why I feel that they are useless and should be closed down by the gambling commission.enough said.

I played book of wings a new book game for two hours non stop and did not give the bonus just kept teasing I do not think the bonus exist as two hours is a long time to be persistent on one game to not hit a bonus

Reply

Absolute joke of a company, closed my account for no reason & the staff are a disgrace,But as the pathetic advert on Talksport radio says,” A realistic Paddy power customer shouldnt expect any help with there problems!”

Reply

Not clear on the free bets at Cheltenham..so called 5.00 free bets on select races at meeting stoll takes your actual money from account.. Best avoid this company… also refused to pay out on a horse that had won that we did on line..they said I’d chose another horse in same race and both had to be placed.. absolute scammers..spend over 3 hrs online talking to first a bot..then thy place you in a queue to speak to an agent…absolute crap

Forgot to lower loss limit. Won at Cheltenham so decided to give blackjack another go.Same bloody results lost 50.Never won a bloody hand.Enough is enough.I keep getting mugged off on this game. No one gives a damn.I don’t mind losing but this is something else.Look at all the reviews before you give paddy your money.

Awful. After a number of years using them I was suddenly required to verify my account to continue using it. I uploaded all documents required but nothing progressed. I contacted customer services but they couldnt help so I asked to close my account and withdraw my balance. My account was closed and I was informed I would receive my funds by the end of the day. After waiting 3 days I contacted them again to request the funds and was told it can take up to 5 days. It has now been 6 days but still nothing and now I cant even get hold of customer services. Avoid like the plague!

The worst company ever take your money and when you win close your account and pass you from pillar to post , ask for id get it and still do nothing . Do not bet with these thiefs

Yup. Definitely rigged. Worked out the pattern everytime I come on this site. It’s the same with Betfred. They all work together. Game spinning the way it’s supposed to but only paying penny’s n I mean penny’s. n just when I think am about to hit the big one, it all over sudden freezes for around 30-40 seconds then I don’t win anything. Wil litterly take the lot without a single win then just as you get to your last 30 or something pence, they pay out 12p if your lucky 24p making you think yea it’s coming now but take the whole lot. Been doing this for months so no. I’m not spending anymore on this site till it starts giving back. Till then, shalom. Where it says date, this happens everytime I come on this site. Not just today. Ain’t be happening anymore tho now that I can guarantee!

Why is it almost impossible to contact anyone? Your live chat doesn’t work. It feels like it’s deliberate. Fine to take peoples money but if they have a problem there is no NO ONE to help. Immoral! How does anyone working for this company expect to have a happy life? I’m closing my account. Seems like the only option.

I only enter paddy power shop once a year for Cheltenham. Such missable staff , so unhelpful.wont be back there next year.

Crooked gaming site.Slots are bad enough but blackjack is so blatantly fixed.Lost nearly 50 on blackjack didn’t win 1 hand.I get 20 dealer gets21 .I get 19 dealer gets 20.etc.I won’t be playing anymore of this crooked game or slots. I upped my loss limit BIG BLOODY MISTAKE. Will be lowering it to 1 in future.

Worst customer service I have ever encountered and that is saying something in saying that Betfair is just as bad,oh it’s the same company

You should check your staffs they’re very slow to take bet and very very rude to your customers especially your Cricklewood branch you gonna loose a lots of betting customers.

Havnt used PP for a while and went back on and it says my ‘account is out of action’. It says I know its a pain but you need to send us proof of who you are?? Why? Yes you are correct it is a pain and I wont be returning.

Joke of a company and staff are the worst out there get cut off then the next live chat assistant is absolutely awful then ask to chat to a amanager and they are even worse. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Reply

Deposited 16 on slots, played 80 spins at 20p per spin and didn’t get a single win not even a penny, they say there games are regulated and tested for fair and consistent payouts… well I can say they are consistent giving you absolutely nothing in return Stay well clear of this business the games are fixed and controlled behind the scenes to gain themselves maximum profits

The worst customer experience ever from Stacey Martin and apparently Tristan the manager in the end I opened up a new account by getting my partner to open up an account

Reply

Absolute scum bags. I had the account for a number of years and mostly lost money. Thats fine its gambling and I never gambled more than I could afford to lose. However for the first time ever I had a bit of a lucky streak and over the course of a month I won a few hundred ‘s ……….. then bam without warning they restrict my account from all offers.If you do not want people to take advantage of offers then don’t keep ramming them down customers. throats.

Absolute greed, will take every last penny from you and ruined your life

An absolute joke of a company!! Please do not waste your money on these con artists.

Horrendous customer service. Paddy Power randomly closed my account due to self isolation error on there part, 5 days later some unhelpful gentleman phoned to say it was an error. Still locked out my account with open bets. Avoid this shocking company. Then I had to agree to certain terms under safer gambling rules even though I’ve never had a problem. The most backwards company I’ve ever dealt with. Avoid them and use another betting site is advised

This site is a disgrace for the name of casino.Scammed and rigged games with zero RTP in slots and cheating on live casino.Fairness in any gambling activity is something u wont be able to see on this site.The sister sites Betfair and PokerStars no different.Its so unbelivable how low morals and values are visible on those sites.I dont recommend any of those sites i mentioned as from my own experience they just thieves without morals who stealing money from people and cheating on every possible ocassions.Highly recommend to avoid those thieves.

Most trustworthy site, fast payment of money always never been a problem. Nobody forces you to gamble if your losing leave for another time.

Offered me enhanced odds of 36/1 on a bet, as a thank you for joining. Put 1 on the bet, and it won. They paid me 55p. How is that 36/1. Withdrawn my deposit and returned to Betfair.

F….scam! I play the same game in other casino and every time win. PP only waist your money

Reply

This site should be banned in the UK.Those thieves have no dignity.Shamless thieves and scammers.Every single game on the site rigged.How is this even possible for this casino still operating.Where is gambling comission to allow them to do all the dirty scamming things.I highly recommend to avoid those shamless thieves as on this site fair gambling you cant count on.

Worst site and customer service is terrible. Customer care doesnt care about your query and try to end conversations without giving explanations. They dont have any control over there game providers which just keep taking your money

Such scam!!!!!! I win 500 a week ago and still not receive my money in bank account, I try contact every single day since there and the agents in chat dont help to get my money, and paddy power block to aces my account

PaddyPower is holding my money hostage. I deposited 2000 euro into my account, and then they froze my account. I contacted customer service and they told me that they’re worried about my gambling habits and that I’ll have to speak with the responsible gambling team.This questionaire/interrogation process took over an hour to complete. I had to answer so many questions and whenever I gave an answer to a question, the agent took about five minutes to reply back each time, with another question. Then after all that waiting, they decided to enforce a 30 day break on my account.I told them no, that I want to withdraw my 2000 deposit first, that I don’t feel comfortable letting it sit in a suspended account all month. They just told me that the break is for my own good and that I shouldn’t have deposited 2000 if I didn’t feel comfortable losing it.That infuriated me because I DIDN’T LOSE IT. It’s my money, and I want it back. I even told them, that if they’re so worried about my gambling habits, that they can permanently shut down my account, but let me withdraw my money first. They told me no, that money can’t be withdrawn from a suspended account.Anyway, after the month break ended, I logged in and they still wouldn’t let me withdraw. Made me endure another round of questioning, and now my account is suspended for another month. I just want my 2000 back, but they refuse to let me withdraw it.Now I have to wait another month, and the same thing will probably happen again.Trash scam website. They have no problem accepting deposits but suddenly worry when you try to withdraw.

Know what, I’ve really had it with Betfred now. Thieves. Can’t win a darn thing. Every single spin is dead. It’s so predictable I noticed the pattern everytime I play on here I know exactly what am gonna win n when every spin from there on is completely dead! These people will rob you blind. Go elsewhere n don’t waste your money on here. Most definitely the last time I spend on this site. F you paddy you d.i.c.k oh n when it says date of experience, every f’in day on this site. No more!!!

Crooked thieving basta ds.Just played again 15 hands won 1 .lost 100.Enough is enough . Closing account now.It is so bloody crooked it’s getting beyond a joke. When will regulator take bloody notice if these reviews.Mugged for the last bloody time no more.STAY AWAY .

Reply

Waited 30 minutes to speak to an agent via online chat. The agent, Tom, then responds with as assumption about why I was contacting (which was wrong) and ends the conversation, meaning I have to wait again.

I enjoy this site however I must stress if you do win and withdraw, don’t go back for awhile because it doesn’t matter how much you play, you will not get feature rounds or any fair wins. They’ll claw it all back fast! Won’t be making that mistake again, seems alittle to fixed in that sense to me. Stay away from crystal bingo room too, that is 100% fixed 80 players plus a game, same 4 names win over and over again

It’s time we come together and shut these illegal site down. Online casinos and in house casinos make 10bn a year the reason the government don’t get involved is because them and the gambling commission get a slice of it. Hush money basically. Roulette is rigged, they build up your confidence by making you win because they track you. When u place bigger bets that’s when they pounce and take all your money. How you may ask, A.i system with magnets and a micro chip in the ball so it can dictate where the ball lands. Even their game shows where they spin the wheel is rigged blatantly slows down after going past the bonus. I’m closing all my accounts down. If u want to bet do sports. There’s only one winner in casino’s and that’s the ones who control it. Please stop using these sites

I have had a Betfair Account since the early 2000’s and have four other telephone accounts I have never had a Paddy Power account.Paddy Power run the Casino Arm on Betfair since they merged in 2016 and are the biggest fraudsters and con merchants you will ever come across as every single game in the Betfair Casino is rigged its not even a close call.Paddy Power are knowingly defrauding every single player in their Casino and getting away with it(the Gambling Commission don’t care)every time I play a certain game I start off losing and it gets worse every time its legalised theft.I would say the RTP of the Betfair Casino run by Paddy Power is running at around 10% on all Casino games(that’s being generous)so my advice as it has always been on my numerous reviews of Betfair and Paddy Power is DO NOT under any circumstances play any Casino linked to a Bookmaker especially Paddy Power and Betfair because they are all rigged every single one of them.In my opinion its better to find a stand alone Casino which I have done whose RTP is genuine and who treat their players with respect unlike Paddy Power who should have had their licence revoked years ago because they are by far the worst and most Corrupt and Fraudulent Bookmakers any bettor will ever come across as it says in the title its an X Rated Warning from me to beware and not play under any circumstances any Casino linked to Paddy Power.
