Paddy Power Review

UK Gambling Commision should investigate this scam of a site there is no way in hell they are abiding by the law.

Same issues as everyone else, I had my account suspended after consistently winning money playing poker, they requested some personal documents to verify who I was. Sent them EXACTLY what they wanted but my account remains suspended, only now they have a copy of my passport and bank statement. IT'S no surprise this company has alot of hate, their customer service is so poor and as a customer they treat you like a piece of $h!t. Please don't use these people, as soon as I get my money I'll be removing my account.I genuinely wish I had NEVER signed up to them, I wouldn't recommend them to anybody.

Hundreds of spins biggest win less than 30 p

Paddy fake power worst company ever thies of Internet along with its other companie bet fair. The only fair thing there is oops I can not think of even 1. How both companies are thief's and are allowed to still trade. Just a waste of Internet space. Look at the bad reviews on here save your time and money don't play slots at any of their sites. Unbelievable how when you do get a win it pays you less that 50 x your bet and not a single win over 30 p today of 350 spins so bad

Don't waste your money. Slots are daylight robbery put down 10 pounds for example and you only get rare wins of a mere 12p or 2p no entries to side games constantly crashing. Sort it out this is not fair or fun.

Terrible site.
I was given a miserable £5 BONUS (to wager) in compensation for having been treated like a DOG by a chat master, queen of abuse more like. BONUS that didn't even work!
I am ill and awaiting medical tests for cancer. I had ended up saying this because Madam was telling I was "misbehaving" for typing "in my French accent" and wishing people Good Luck.
She replied I "shouldn't vent my anger online" !!!!!
I complained about it, was given that miserable compensation, not even reassured that my issue would be passed onto Management!
I went back to Customer Service and had to wait for ONE HOUR AND FITY MINUTES before I could speak to a Human agent!

They are disgrace to the name of casino they are bunch of shameless scamming thieves without morals.I wish someone will finally sort out those mthfuc for what they doing.How is fuc possible loosing 10 days in a row without getting no bonus on the games and return is 2%.This thieves should be prosecuted as what they doing is a crime.They rigged games and if they once again steal from player and he will complain the best solution is to say he has gambling addiction.The scumbags like those making people addicted as when you open account they let you win for quite some time and later they change their strategy and take back 1000 times more than they lost.There will be a time when they will get back everything what they doing to people as that's unbelievable and no words can describe it.They even stollen £10 of my deposit 2 months ago till today I didn't get them back and no one is knowing what happened.THIEVES THIEVES THIEVES

If I could give zero stars I would. The live chat is very user unfriendly. Refunds are impossible to get, even though my account at PP was compromised but they do not know how!

I made 23k on slots and they blocked my account ! The reason was THAT I WASN'T VERIFIED ! I sent them all the requested document and they said the verification process takes about2 days …and IT'S BEEN 2 WEEKS NOW AND STILL NOT VERIFIED ! COSTUMER SERVICE IS SHITTTT ! NOW I PAID A LAWYER TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH THESE SCAMMERS

Sadly, i was a chronic gambler, lost a lot of money and made a lot, i had about £301k and when i tried withdrawing 60 grand,my account was blocked
At first i thought they flagged it due to the amount only for me to find out, it has been a part of their Ponzi scheme. Glad ly'Vitalretrieve helped in getting my back my money

Hi everyone, Do not use this gaming website. I played a prestige roulette with real money and instead of £198 payout I have got £38. I did chat to paddypower customer service and they said can you prove you made that bet. Their system fail to store that history or simply deleted it so agent said: there was no bet like that made. FRAUDSTERS

Headache City Ltd!!! Just stay away from “The Joker” of betting sites. Joining PP, Verifying your account, setting up a deposit Limit, it’s a NIGHTMARE . I’d rather have a beer with Freddie Kruger. Stay stay away, unless you have plenty of Aspirin, Games probably Rigged I guess ?…. Be lucky Peeps🤑

Never win anything with their free spins when you get them. Nice odd free bet but they all do that. Avoid

Account closed when I tried to withdraw my balance. Customer services are ONLY available by their webchat. After 10pm there is a crew on with very limited powers and abilities. I've spent close to 5hours talking to customer services, I've submitted scanned ID several times. My original request has vanished into thin air. I've had to complain through other channels as well as their chat

Wouldn't trust them with my personal data or my money again. Very poor experience.

Deposited money and account gets banned after 30 minutes. Don't know, why this happens.

Another time got basically rob by those skilled thieves.They not only scam you with their rigged games also literally they will steal money from you.I made deposit 2 months ago till today they didn't refund my money back to me.Contacted them so many times that I just give up trying as it's pointless.Gambling commission won't act on this as they are getting pay from thieves like that so in this kind of situation you can't count on fairness from no one.Highly recommend to avoid those thieves.Im posting video on YouTube with example of how it looks when you play on this site.

I tried PaddyPower welcome offer on bingo and get my account suspended after I bought tickets. PaddyPower confirms by his example that the casino is a major cheat.

Daylight robbery! DO NOT OPEN AN ACCOUNT!!!!

Opened an account and Deposited £30- luckily a small amount to bet on the Tyson fury fight- put my bet down, 30 minutes later they closed my account for “business reasons” so won’t give me the reason why and I cannot have a refund for my funds as I have placed the bets (which have not run yet)

Disgraceful and tbh cannot see how this is legal

One of the biggest thieves on the UK market.Shamless and without morality.Rigged and scammed games.Where is gambling commission to make sure that robbing people won't be normal.Every single game is rigged.I spend £40 and played 10 different slots neither of one gave me a bonus return on spins maybe 5% the max.In few weeks time played almost every day deposited £10 every time never had more than 5% return while playing.I must admit some time ago I was able to win at least I could enjoy playing now they just basically set up games to not give me bonuses so I loose everything.They are manipulating slots as much as they like and as soon you will complain and even be able to proof them what they are doing they will make sure you won't be able to do anything about it.I suggest to read also a review about gambling commission! someone described very clearly how everything looks and I can 100% say that this is true.Corrupted money making scumbags.

Horrible company. I bet loads and lose loads but they take the Michael with their prices before the off on horse races now. I’ve made a decision never to bet with them again. In addition after reading this it makes your blood boil. Ask yourself would you they have paid the difference in the bet back to the punter if the horse lost. Vile company .

Punter sues Paddy Power over disputed £286,000 winning bet at Wolverhampton
Paddy Power: bookmaker considers itself "bound in honour" to pay £28,600 to a punter
Paddy Power: bookmaker considers itself "bound in honour" to pay £28,600 to a punter
Edward Whitaker

Paddy Power are being sued by a punter after crediting his account with £286,000 for a winning bet, only to claw it back two days later on the grounds that he had originally wanted to place a much smaller bet.

The dispute is expected to result in a High Court hearing at the end of this month, at which one of the issues to be put before the judge will be the fairness and legality of the 'error' rule commonly used by bookmakers, which has so often been the cause of complaint among punters denied a payout to which they believed they were entitled.

James Longley backed Redemptive when she won at Wolverhampton in September 2019, phoning up Paddy Power to ask for £1,300 each-way at the 16-1 that was then on offer. The operator who took the call said she would seek authorisation from a trader, as the maximum stake for his account was £203.

At this point, the operator mistakenly relayed the bet to a trader as a request for £13,000 each-way. The bet was approved and the operator relayed that information to Longley, who says he was happy to be allowed a much larger bet than the one he had sought.

Longley's phone call was recorded and a transcript has been included in court documents from the defence, seen by the Racing Post. It shows the operator telling him: "I got that cleared with a trader for you" and adding: "So that's going to be twenty-six thousand coming from [account name], is that correct?"

Longley replied: "Yeah, that's it, yeah". The parties do not agree as to whether he had realised at this point that a much larger bet had been authorised, Paddy Power insisting he must have misheard, misunderstood or thought the operator had made a slip of the tongue.

'An unfair contract term'

Before the race started, Longley says he checked his account and noted that a stake of £26,000 had indeed been deducted from his available balance. The bookmakers argue that it was only at this point Longley realised he had been allowed a bet much larger than he had asked for, and that therefore there had been no true agreement between the parties as to the bet and it should be void in law.

The claim document written on Longley's behalf states that "no demand for repayment of the sum of £286,000 was made by the defendants", the implication being it was taken back from his account with no prior indication that the bet was in dispute. Paddy Power's defence document admits Longley's assertion but calls it irrelevant because the firm's error clause "permits the defendants to reclaim balance from the account".

That error clause is attacked by Longley's lawyers as "an unfair contract term", causing "a significant imbalance in the parties' rights and obligations". They state that Paddy Power "had the opportunity, on the one hand, to lay off the full amount of the bet accepted [£13,000 each-way] and thereby reduce its exposure to the bet while the claimant, thinking his bet had been accepted in full, has no similar right".

The lawyers assert that, while Paddy Power claim the right after the race to insist the stake was £2,600 rather than £26,000 and resettle the bet accordingly, Longley would have been unable to make the same unilateral reduction in stake if Redemptive had finished unplaced.

Paddy Power's lawyers deny the clause is unfair and say the Gambling Commission's code of practice specifically envisages there will be situations in which a bookmaker may void a bet. They insist the firm "have corrected and do correct errors which favour them, whenever the same occur, and will adduce evidence to that effect".

The firm views Longley's bet as a winner at £1,300 each-way and credited his account with £28,600 at the same time as clawing back the £286,000. Some of the arguments advanced on its behalf would mean, if correct, that it had no liability to pay anything, as the bet would be void but the defence document says the firm considers itself "bound in honour" to pay.

Despite all the negative reviews, I thought I would give PaddyPower a go. They had a nice joining promo with 100 free spins so I tried that out and ending winning £5. I decided that before I go and invest some money on this site to test whether all these accusations were true. So I tried to withdraw this £5 in the form of a voucher. 5 minutes later I received an email from PP saying that my account is closed "based on business ground"! I then contacted customer support to find out the reason behind this decision and whether they could reactivate my account so I could at least bet the £5. They said that these decisions come from their security department and they are final, so there is nothing he/she could do! It's really pitiful that this company needs to block a mere £5 withdrawal…

If you are aware most of these companies are all connected. You can check this at the bottom of their page to see their Gambling Commission licence number. Once you click on that you will see all the companies they are linked to. For example Paddy Power and Betfair are all under the same parent company PPB gaming

As for other sites like Gala Casino & Sporting Bet…

They too are under the same company.

Be sure when opting in for a new site check the gambling commission website to see what other online casinos are be run by which mother company.

LC International Limited currently have 15 different domain names.

Paddy Power blocked my account after i verified my phone number. The same thing happened with Betfair.

Then I realised they are the same company just two different platforms and the policies are pretty much shiittiingglly the same.

Like all gambling companies they are nothing but thieves. On a Saturday final in the modus online live leauge there's 10 minutes in between the group ending and the semi final starting yet they can't get betting up till the 1st leg has been won. Then they can't put the 2nd semi final (even though they know before the 1st semi final who will be in the 2nd) up until one leg has been won of course lowering the odds. Before the final starts there's a 3rd place play off (which they don't offer odds on till a leg has been won even though they know for ages who's in it) so they know for ages who's in the final so want you to use their technology yet can't operate it themselves. How can matches be put up not till one leg has been won but the final can't be put up in all that time, unless they are doing it on purpose is of course the only rational explanation. No result yet from a boxing fight that started at 5:00 pm yesterday.

PaddyPower banned me a couple of months ago for no reason whatsoever and then the customer service can't even disclose why you got banned, even if you gave them all the security answers to prove its definitely you. Something fishy going on at PP (dumb acronym) and they are not to be trusted. Avoid them as I'm sure there are better companies out there

PP IS VERY MISLEADING ALL THE GAMES ARE FIXED IVE OOK TIME TO REALISE THIS … DO NOT PLAY ANU OF THE GAMES ONLINE YOU WILL NOT WIN EVEN IF YOU WERE GOD . AND DO NOT FALL FOR THE PROMOTIONS THEY WILL MISLEAD TO SPEND MONEY AND WHEN YOU TRU TO CLAIM THE PROMOTION THEY WILL FIND A EXCUSE TO SAY YOU DIDNT QUALIFY. Stay away people .

Scammers!!!! The refer friends for £20 I have done and because they paid on Apple Pay and not direct debit they’ve not paid me bonus, any excuse to not pay you!!!! First week with them I was spending 2-5hundred a night I’m loyal got them custom I’m fuming

Reply

I imagine my account will be closed but sure here goes. The slots are an absolute disgrace. Few hundred quid for a bonus round resulting in 0 euro. Over the years my account has been open have lost over 20k and its mostly from poor slots. I should have learned my lesson but thought maybe I'd win something but with paddy power keep your money as you have more chance of being attacked by badgers then actually winning a penny off them. Plenty of other bookmakers to bet with anyway

They are rubbish. They will happy when we lose our money but straight away put restriction on us as soon as we start winning few times. What a bunch of cowards and cowboys. That is why whoever owns this company and others like this are now call themselves millionaire because they steal our money. Really dissapoint with them… so government should do something about it. Put them restriction by supporting us not those cowards and thug.

Rip offs! Spent over 500 pounds on bingo and never won a penny! Even played at 3am in the morning on bingo with only 50 players and when I even come close to winning one of their own “fake” players wins, you can tell the players are fake because of the stupid names they have it’s all letters and makes no sense! I even played in a room with only 23 players and still did not come close! Their a rip off and a con! Do not waste your time or money!!

Sadly, I feel compelled to write a second revue of Paddy Power, due to their disgusting treatment of me, after my loyalty to them for more than ten years. It would help if it was possible to talk to them on the telephone, rather than have to deal with the inept 'chat' facility.

All I did was complain about a 'cashcard pplus' not working so I wanted the funds removing from it and putting back into my account. What followed was two months of delays, lies and insulting, offensive messages from them. They began treating me like I had a gambling issue, though I only usually have a bet on the horses when they're on ITV or I'm having a rare day at the races and, to underline I have no 'problems' I have actually withdrawn more from my PP account than I have deposited this year yet they still kept my account suspended.

They have now CLOSED it, even though I have four valid football bets still running and STILL have £90 on the cashcard pplus. The card has now expired. This means they are voiding four legitimate bets which will, almost certainly, gain returns, and KEEPING my money.

To add further insult, they sent me links to help sites for people with gambling addictions? WHAT THE HELL????

This is clearly criminal behavour and I will NOT let it lie there.

I opened an account with them this year and have gambled maybe £2000 roughly, now they have temporarily suspended my account surely you ask for details before you take someones money I feel robbed and there customer service is petty beware of these actions

Fast withdrawal with PP. I recommend you add more live roulette/baccarat games it's very limited in that sense. will probably go back to williamhill but overall no complaints. 🙂

This was tuesday, went on live chat about an hour and a half i was there, they asked me for birth certificate, drivers lisence, proof of adress and passport i provided all of these and my account is still suspended. Joke of a company. Go with sky bet people. I win on there can be 100s and i withdraw its in my account (monzo) the next day. Appalled by this site and its customer servics.

Told them to ban me. But they just won't

OK so I play over 1.000 plus spins a week at paddy Power and if I can be honest I never win and if I do it's only small amounts like £5.00 or less. 3 bonus rounds max per week and its the same with its other sad company bet fair. I go to a live chat lots to complain I even got a deadlock email so I could start to make official complaints. Today I went to the live chat and I started saying how fake they was and that they all was a bunch of thiefing people and even said to the chat assistant they was twice as bad as all they do is read bull from a paddy power chat script. They have no knowledge of slots and probably never played a slot in their life. I told them I was in the process of taking legal action and I started to give them a piece of my mind I was using foul language and hoping they would ban me but no. No ban for me, / reasons for this is I play with lots of funds and to them am a piggy bank. They are loosing so much money their stock prices have completely crashed and with shops closing down to they just won't ban me. And it's quite funny to I even said to them ban me if am telling fibs but nope they just won't. It says it all because if I was at a other gambling place they would have none of this and just simply ban me for the foul language i used. PADDY POWER AND BET FAIR HAVE HAD THEIR DAYS producing no big wins since I started playing and let's say over 100.000 spins you would expect to win just once. And as more time goes by it just get worst slot bonus rounds that pay less than a 50 x and only 3 or 4 a week. You see people on you tube who gamble and yes they do win and they do hit slot bonus rounds. But they never play at paddy Power or bet fair. Just to top this of how many good reviews do you see on here with players saying how fantastic the slot perform and how they win big nnot many at all

I was not surprised to read such negative reviews about this so called bookmaker. Today they restricted my account because I had won £200 over about six months, at least I assume that was the reason, since they do not explain why.
Since they took over Betfair it too has deteriorated in its bookmaking ‘service’.
When is the Gambling Commission or whoever regulates this bunch of chickens going to take action and close them down? Do the regulators care about consumers being messed about or do they just pay lip service to being concerned? Total inadequacy by PP and its guardians.

I’ve been on paddy power years never won a penny just today 50 spins with my deposit playing 10 a spin the total win was 5p total robbery on site seconds. Disgrace and they say they are regulated They are not. If I could give no stars I would. It’s among plenty of other sites who are just the same. They need closing down. Even the slots don’t run right long spins with no wins n shirt spins no wins jerking and it’s not my side I’ve everything cleaned. Yes such a massive fix

until today pady power was my main bookies. i spent a lot of money here, regularly.
they try to make a name for them selves for being some sort of rewarding bookmaker who rewards loyalty. its far from, the truth. and any bonuses they do offer are just nothing short of embartrasing. £1 bonuses etc.
the amount of times now they have shafted me on my free bets from the paddy reward club is just a joke. avoid paddy power.
