About Paddy Power

Ireland’s biggest independent and award-winning bookie, Paddy Power prides itself on taking any type of bet on any kind of event. However, it is heavily geared towards British and Irish customers betting on sports.

Its offering is described as ‘humorous, often edgy…innovative and quirky.’

The software is powered by industry juggernaut OpenBet and the graphics are crisp. The load times are speedy, the navigation is user-friendly, and it’s easy to access the full range of sports and betting opportunities from the home page.

Use the handy ‘Bet Calculator’ to estimate potential payouts across multiple betting options and the customer support is informed and professional.

Paddy Power is available on mobile and desktop, but live streaming isn’t available on mobile.

The odds offered are not the best you will find on the market, but they hold their own.

When the prices are shortening, the odds are shown in red and when they are lengthening, the odds are shown in blue.

Paddy Power (usually) accepts larger bets online than the competition. This means you can make the bet online instead of being directed to a call centre, which is often the case from some web-based bookies.

What Can I Bet On?

The key priorities for this bookmaker are football and horse racing. There are up to a hundred markets for any of the Premiership games, but you can also bet on American football, golf, baseball, basketball, boxing, cricket, rugby (league and union), wrestling and winter sports.

This bookmaker is known for taking novelty bets, such as on the name of the next Archbishop of Canterbury, or Beyoncé’s first baby.

What’s more, it’s often prepared to discuss obscure sporting events not offered on the website.

Live events

Paddy Power has a live betting section which concentrates on events shown on terrestrial TV in Britain and Ireland, plus Sky Sports.

If you like to spread your bets more widely afield than the UK and Irish markets, you may find the focus of this operator a little too narrow for your liking, but, overall, Paddy Power has genuinely earned its strong reputation.
