For ongoing promotions and special offers then Paddy Power are in a class of their own, providing numerous money-back and free bet specials. Perhaps the best thing about these offers is that they change daily and new offers are regularly added so it always feels fresh and relevant, while there is no hassle in navigating the site - once you get the hang of it. Paddy Power increased its share of the Irish betting market (off-course) from 8% in 1988 to 33% by 2001. To raise money for a UK expansion, Paddy was listed in December 2000 on the London Stock Exchange. The firm opened their first shop in the UK in 2002 and by 2014 they had 250 shops in the UK - more than in their native Ireland. Paddy Power launched their E-gaming series in 2004 via the paddypowergames.com and paddypowercasino.com platforms, following that up just 12 months later with paddypowerpoker.com. Now expanded fully into Australia, France and Canada, they were the first online bookmaker to have a gambling app in Apple’s app store and by May 2013 the app had been downloaded over 1 million times and makes up a large percentage of all bets placed with the company. Deposit & Withdrawals Both in and out transactions are run fast and smoothly at Paddy Power. Every deposit method is available, and there are lots of helpful videos on the site as well as a very good FAQ section that guides you through the process.

Withdrawals to debit cards can take between two and three working days to be processed but they can take up to five on occasion as it takes time for the bank to process the transaction at both ends. On our site you will also find information about Paddy Power bonus and Paddy Power mobile app. Customer Service The help and support section is very easy to navigate and it is very simple to self-serve to get the answers you need. If you need to speak (or type) to a person then we have found it was always quick and easy to either speak on the telephone or start a live chat, but the option to send an email or letter are available. License Information For customers in the UK, PaddyPower licensed and regulated by the Gambling Commission.

Odds format & betting margin

Offered in easy to read UK and European formats, the odds at Paddy Power are simple to find, while their overall betting margin hovers around a reasonably low 4.6% when eschewing all the offers. The minimum stake allowed is just 10p, while the maximum fluctuates somewhat based on both the sport book chosen and the type of bet placed. Betting limits The only limit comes with a maximum £500,000 per bet for soccer, with no exceptions granted. Types of bets Paddy Power are one of the innovators when it comes to types of bets.

How easy to the eye is the Paddy Power website?

In our orginal review of the Paddy Power site we actually gave the site a middling review, the interface was quite old fashioned and adding multiples and combination bets was very difficult. Well fast forward to 2018 and this has changed. The layout and color scheme still leave a little bit to be desired but big improvements have been made from the navigation side. When you reach the home page now, you have five options which help you get to a section quickly, these are: Popular In-Play Next Races Top Football Top Sports Of course it focuses on the two main sports for Paddy Power which are Football and Horse Racing and we think punters will love the new racecard interface which shows the next 3 races in a large clear format. Like other sportsbooks it now has the left side menu which contains all other sports and these can be reached easily. In addition to the easier navigation they have added the help, betslip and cash out links at the top of the page. These were not visible in the old version. The site uses both fractional and decimal odds and these can be changed at the bottom of the left side menu.

Does Paddy Power offer competitive odds or the best odds in a certain sport?

With all the advertising and promotional branding they do, you would think they may be the best in terms of odds but this is not the case. We are not saying they are not competitive as you can see below. The overall betting margin they work to across all sports is 4.6% with football being 4.7% and the American sports Basketball at 4.4%,Baseball at 4.4% and American football at 4.1% being very competitive. Now where you really want to follow Paddy Power is on the big horse racing meetings like Cheltenham, Aintree and Punchestown, this is where they are very aggressive. Here is where you can get some real value, both in odds, and the place terms for the big field handicaps.

How good is the market coverage and selection of bets on Paddy Power?

One of the more innovative bets are the #WhatOddsPaddy request a bet style offers. Each game has numerous offers and they range from under 10/1 to over 100/1 so there is an offer for everybody. The market coverage on football is strong and you will usually find more than 100 individual market offers on football matches at the weekend in the major leagues across Europe. In terms of bets Paddy Power are always coming up with new bets and their latest 2-0 up payout offer on football is excellent. They of course cover all the normal bet types you would expect like Yankee's Lucky 15's, Heinz's and Goliaths and you can also bet directly into the Tote on all horse racing in the UK and Ireland.

How good is In Play betting on Paddy Power?

The inplay interface has improved a lot but there are a still a few things that could be improved. That said, it is now very easy to get to In-play as it is listed on the home page and at the very top of the left hand menu. Once you click through to the page, you have a set of icons at the top showing each sport and how many events are live for that particular sport. Go one step further and open all the markets for the event which are available in a nicely laid out accordion drop down menu that opens and closes on a single click. The speed of the price changes has improved from the old version, presumably as they are likely to be using the same technology as partner company Betfair. They could improve the colour scheme by not having such small titles for the events under each sport and just having this as black text on a grey background. Would be clearer with white on the Paddy Power dark green. All in all a solid interface for In-play punters.

What selection of bonuses and re-occuring promotions does Paddy Power have?

Paddy Power are always coming up with some really whacky bonuses and offers across all sports. Here are just a few of the weekly promos: - Paddy Rewards Club, Opt in and get a free 10 bet every week, when you place 5x bets of 10+ across any sport, Monday – Sunday. - 2 Goals Up, this is a cracking bonus offer.

How is my Each Way Bet Calculated?

So, your horse has romped home (or just crept into the places) and you want to know how much you have won after placing an Each Way bet. The each way aspect of a bet indicates that you are betting on two different outcomes such as a horse winning or just placing top three - see the example below which explains how a bet of this kind works in detail. Example You have backed Red Rum for £5 Each Way at a price of 20/1. The each way terms of the race are six places at a fifth of the odds. He romps home to win so you will be paid as follows: Win: £5 at 20/1 pays £105 (£5 x 20 = £100 plus your £5 stake back). Place: A fifth of 20/1 is 4/1 (20 divided by 5) so the place part of the bet is paid as £5 at 4/1 = £25 (£5 x 4 = £20 plus your £5 stake back). Total Returns: WIN plus PLACE = £105 plus £25 = £130. If your horse finished 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th then you just get the place returns of £25, while the win part of your bet is lost.

How Do Free Bets Work?

Free bets are bonuses that you can use to place a bet in part or full, up to the total value of the free bet bonus you have been awarded. If you are unsure which market and bets you need to select to make use of your sports free bets, please refer to the Terms and Conditions of your free bet.

What does "odds of 1/2 or greater" mean?

This refers to the odds of your chosen selection. If the odds are less than 1/2 (1.5 in decimals), your bet will not qualify for a free bet. An easy way to test if your bet will qualify for a free bet is to check the potential returns for a £1 stake. If the potential returns are £1.50 or greater, your bet will qualify. Examples: Odds Return for £1 Stake Does my bet qualify? 3/1 £4 Yes 6/1 £7 Yes 9/1 £10 Yes 100/1 £101 Yes 7/2 £4.50 Yes 6/4 £2.50 Yes 8/13 £1.62 Yes 2/5 £1.40 No 4/11 £1.36 No 1/100 £1.01 No
