Paddy Power Review

I had my account blocked by Paddy Power because they did not honour a bet. I later found out other people had the same bet in honoured by Paddy Power.
I would not recommend anyone to use Paddy Power for they are probably the most un helpful company to get into contact with.
They refuse to reply to emails and there is no phone number for being able to speak to someone unless you wish to join.
So, stay away from these people they really are obnoxious and difficult.

THE WORST AND MORE DODGY SITE YOU CAN EVER PLAY TO WAIST YOUR MONEY AND THEN WHEN YOU WIN YOU NEVER GET PAID …. DONT EVER PAY THEM A POUND! AVOID IS A MUST WHEN YOU SEE THERE NAME!

Opened an account with this despicable company…made a deposit….went through initial verification checks, had one day of successfully backing a few winners….next day, account closed no explanation!
They only want to return my initial deposit of 25 quid and wanted to void 380 quids worth of winnings. I then produced full ID as requested and they still insist on keeping my funds.
UK GAMBLING COMMISSION…..how do you let thieves, and that's what they are get away with these practices, i thought it was supposed to be fair and open?
Next stop IBAS and see if they can get an explanation as to why they would accept bets then not pay if they win?
Advice to anyone out there….DO NOT open an account with PADDY POWER as if you happen to find a few winners…..you WILL NOT get paid.
Don't believe all there bluster in the adverts…….mugs only need apply!

But now, it has all gone downhill. As with other bookmakers, you are clearly trying to make cuts, following the £2 gaming machine limit..
I placed an in store treble bet on the horses, which was supposed to pay £2450 with the best odds, as the odds had drifted.

I was only paid £1920, as I was told all in store bets now placed with best odds guaranteed, will only settled with the best odds at up to £1000, and anything after that is settled at the odds taken.

If I had placed this bet at a betfred shop, I would have been paid £2450.

You will not see me in Paddy Power again.

Have to say this website has went right down hill used to be one of the best out there dont no what's happened but iv put almost 600 in to play in just over 1 week and not won a thing back and very hard to win bonus rounds etc on the games on this website very disappointing

Really bad.

Had an account for years and years that I barely used (I would usually go into the shop to bet on soccer games or horse races) and maybe throw a few quid online.

Made small bets here and there – I think I only ever made like two deposits of a tenner each and the balance never went above about thirty quid.

Account got suspended, I asked customer service what the problem was, they asked for proof of ID (passport scan), bank account (scan of debit card) and address (scan of utility bill). I provided all of those the same day, and they came back the next day asking:

"Thank you for providing us with the below details. As you have changed address, could you please send us a second proof of address such as another utility bill or bank statement from the last 6 months.

Once we receive this, we will be able to get your account back up and running."

I provided a bank statement scan within an hour and they replied:

"Thank you for contacting Paddy Power Support,

We are sorry to have to inform you that your account with Paddy Power has been closed.

The decision to close your account has been made by our Trading Department and is based upon commercial grounds and does not in any way affect your credit worthiness."

This is very very poor customer service and I will now not be using their shops either in future.

They now have lots of my personal information which I am uncomfortable with.

AVOID , the slots are terrible and app keeps freezing, delated account anyone reading this don’t join

I do not know exactly what the scam is on the bingo site but there must be a scam. I bought 20 tickets in one game and they nearly all had the same numbers. What a con.

I signed up to paddy power had my first win and requested to cash it out as this was pending they sent me an email saying they closed my account for absolutely no reason.. scam site if you ask me

Reply

Jan2019 Paddypower mobile app does not work to 100% integrity. Successful bets are not always honoured due to technical flaws, incompetent traders and customer service do not assist to resolve. Be aware your successfully placed bet if it wins may simply disappear.

Great bookmaker!!! Quick at paying winnings!!!

Reply

Scammers willing to take money but not pay out.
No wonder anyone with any talent or common sense has left the business.

Reply

If you win more than a few times they ban from promotions very quick, limit your stakes very soon after, they now refuse to accept ANY bet on my account. Scum, that they ban winning punters so quick shows how much they're reliant on the more vulnerable players out there!

How Can You Steal £100 and Getaway with it …Only at Paddy Power!! In Bletchley, Milton Keynes
(1) Placed a bet for £200 won at 5/4 (£450) (2) I Gave My Winning Ticket in with another bet of £200 (3) Cashier (Paul) Gave me back £250 cash and placed the bet. All seems good so far! (4) £200 bet wins @ 4/6 (£333.33) (5) I Give my Ticket in and then told he put the ticket through for £100 so the return is £166.66 ie £33.34 less than the bet placed of £200 for a winning ticket!!!! (6) Complain to Customer Service and Manager and the outcome is there is nothing wrong!!! that the CCTV cameras can see?
There seems to be one question that is being forgotten by Paddy Power. If the bet is not going to be honored at being struck at £200 because the cashier put it through at £100.
Why is £100 of my original £450 winnings not being returned?
Out of Principal, I haven't collected the bet that isn't being honored because if you want to steal £100 you might as well have the other £100 aswell. I hope Mr. Jeremy Peter Jackson is proud of how his company is doing business.

I made a withdrawal on christmas day
And was in my account within 30 seconds.
Yes you read that right 30 seconds.
In fact all withdrawals back to bank are instant and in your account before you have even left withdrawal page.
Absolute nobody offers anything near to this.
Its the only sports site i will use from now on.

Very good experience and decent offers

Such a poor service. Had a look for 'to finish outside championship top 6' market today and 5 of the top 6 sides quoted including WBA who are top. Tweeted Powers to ask why Leeds aren't included and was told it was because a championship game is about to start. I replied that this would be a fair response if the entire market was suspended. clear contempt for their customers. Leeds will be added later when this lunchtime game is finished. 'Thanks Paddy – I've taken my business elsewhere!'

I’d genuinely give no stars if possible been using paddy power a year straight won once in the whole year they say everything is done fairly but believe me it’s not I’m a member of many betting sites and this is by far the worst. The thing is they say it’s all fair it’s not they put a winning cap on your account and genuinely mug you off I’ve played on slots live tables never ever won just lose lose lose I understand with gambling that’s the risk but someone does not lose everyday for 6 months. They don’t give no rewards for using live casinos and nothing with depositing my advice to anyone that even thinks of signing up run the other way. You genuinely have more chance of a return if you threw your money of the London eye. Don’t be fooled by the thieving *****s best of luck and happy gambling

Have become the worst of the worst…. No customer service…. Retail hey have no I terest in…. If u have a winning bet u feel like a criminalcollecting…. Surely these crooks should be closed down…. Where is the regulation….. And Aoife is the ugliest creature I have ever seen on screen

Have had an account for some time placing relative small bets, started getting restrictions after a couple of small wins.
Last straw was when trying to place a £20 bets was told PP would only allow me to bet £10.32
Called customer service and told ir was a “trading decision” and that he could help and there was no one else that would explain this to me

Reply

I have placed a bet with them and won around £400 and they have closed my account. This is a bad company! When you lose your money they are happy but when you win they are closing your accounts. Avoid it at any cost.

These twisting Irish tossers need action taking against them…it is impossible to win from them as they use every trick in the book to void your bet! Their app is awful…make you deposit money then won’t take a simple 20ew bet, reduce it to 10ew and same again app refuses to accept it. This has happened numerous times..THEY NEED LICENSE TAKEN AWAY! Have given one star because can’t report on less but these buggers need stopping!

Paddy power shop in Canary wharf is a rip off. Two staffs one is a trainee black girl and the other is a gay boy (Tom) they steal your bet . saying it's a late bet . And return your stake and keep the winning. They are very rude. I complain to paddy power but no action taken. The black girl is . Racist .she hates white and Asian people. And the gay boy is always drunk. Keep going to pub while working. Paddy power is short of staff and they keep quiet

cant deal with someone playing their bet club every week unless they are losing … they restricted my account in 2 weeks. Mad.

They don't answer complaints. The 'Contact us' part of the website is like a maze. Even Twitter replies were automated, directing me back to the website. My issue is below. I don't expect a reply.

I put a bet on Leicester in the first half,when they were losing 1-0. Used a free power up that gave me odds of 9/4 and put £40 on Leicester to win. Checked at the end of the match and my balance is £40. The power up has disappeared, which suggests it was used, so what happened to my bet and my winnings?

Canary wharf branch they are bunch of thiefs . There is a puff boy working there call Tom. If your horse wins he says it's a late bet and he steals your money and return your stake back. Same thing goes on the price if you take a good price and the horse wins he'll give you the down price when paying out. Is drunk most of the time. So be careful when you go to Canary wharf branch

Paddy Power is holding on to money from customers with no real excuse. I “withdrew “ €90 on the 21st of November. To date, (2nd December) , they have not Paid out!! A bookies that is NOT paying out is a major concern. I have used their help desk many times trying to get my money and initially they lied and just said that they had until the following Friday to pay me, ( whatever happened to their claim of 2 to 5 days. So I waited until Friday…..still no money. Asked again and was told that they had a problem with withdrawals on certain dates over a 4 day period….. when were they going to let me know, or any of the other customers effected? I was told by Hayley that they don’t email customers. That’s strange because They email me daily trying to get me to bet!!!! Today 2nd December, I asked to speak to a manager, but apparently “Hayley” had to read from the script in front of her, no manager available, no update on when I would get my money, although she started off saying “a few days” Then in the space of 5 minutes, she said “ a day or two” , Ending with “I have no update” They don’t like you to say they are not paying out, but effectively that is what IS happening. When I said I would be closing my account, I was told to “have a nice day” that’s Hayley’s best effort at customer service. So be warned, a withdrawal is only a withdrawal when it sits in your own bank because Paddy Power is NOT paying out . Still waiting……..

Thieves. Closed my account saying for security reasons and ignoring my emails for me to get my money back. Feel like ive been mugged

Reply

Not happy, they all say "bet responsibly" but they put the minimum deposit up from £5 to £10 not too long ago and for me that increases the chance that someone will bet more tha they have too simply because they deposited more than they wanted too.

Reply

Terrible service. No phone number to speak to somebody unless you are a 'VIP' and they wont speak to you otherwise.
Took over an hour to settle a winning bet even despite me chasing it twice, which cost me a match bet offer that ended up winning.
Made a complaint 2 weeks ago about it and had literally nothing back whatsoever.
Oh and also, twice I have had a cash out in running where the timer wheel spins for over 10 seconds then tells me I'm too late.
Thieves, absolute thieves.

Don't play online casino with Paddy Power and betfair. It's same scam casino. They cheat like @$$holes. I just played on a table where the dealer won with a 21 6 times in a row and others had stronger hands like 20 and deal had 3-4-5 and still won ever game

Don't chat with the dealers because they are too soft to handle any joke

Unethical and untrustworthy…beware.
5 stars when you are on a losing streak but try to cash out and 1 star would be too much for them.
Closed my on-line account without warning, I eventually managed to get my balance back but then they 'lost' my betting history, i.e. my open/pending bets so no chance of being reimbursed

Reply

As soon as you start to make a cent with this crowd they ditch you.
Particularly if you're successful with their power ups, regular cash out profit and free bets of any kind.
"A commercial decision made by the traders" with no further explanation.
They first limited me to miniscule bets on high return multiples. Was a max 47p before I was blocked. 47p!? Is this not the big company I thought it was? Grow a pair guys!

If you want a fair crack on singles, you have to use the exchange.

If you like your multiples use bet365 (most reasonable cash out options and reg free bets), betvictor (the only customer care that actually care and good for extra places), Skybet(best for extra places and very user friendly…. But they have also blocked me previously), Fitzdares(for bespoke service with plenty extras- a club more than a service)
