Paddy Power Review
The Paddy Power app is an online betting service brought to you by the Flutter Group. The brand is one of the most loveable bookmakers out there.
The app is not one to be missed, with the Irish bookmaker continuing to stand out from the crowd.
As a package, the sports app is incredible for betting on. With some of the best offers around you’ll love Paddy Power as much as we do in no time at all! Below, you’ll find our complete review.
If in need of any help registering please see our Paddy Power App user guide.
App Review
Paddy Power has always been ahead of the game in the betting market and its mobile betting service is no different.
They have worked hard to get everything right and the results are impeccable. From its ease of use to a simple design, the app makes any bet you wish to make just a couple of taps away.
There’s a huge range of markets, from the ever-popular football and horse racing to greyhound racing and all major US sports. Everything gamblers should need is within this app. Users are also blessed with some fantastic novelty bets, in what is most certainly the most expansive novelty market out there.
The app is essentially the desktop site on mobile. This means users can place bets on any market, anytime, anywhere.
Within a second of opening the app, all the live betting markets are shown, alongside fantastic offers and a toolbar that can be customised to suit the user’s preferences.
PaddyPower Review Of Features
This bookmaker prides itself on being revolutionary. Therefore, the Paddy Power app is crammed full of incredible features worth utilising while playing the markets.
There are dozens of fantastic little tricks, shortcuts and special features within the app. So many, so it’s a little difficult to choose the very best.
The bottom menu bar contains a number of icons, enabling users to seamlessly switch from sports to casino offerings, as well as a Cash-Out option to quickly collect any winnings. You can read my guide on how to cash out on Paddy Power here.
It has a fantastic casino offering built-in, as well as bonuses being clearly highlighted within the dedicated promotions section and across the home page.
Some of the more standout features we’ve highlighted below, with many taking this app to the next level.
Great Functionality
The functionality of the Paddy Power app is comfortably one of its best features. It’s so simple to use with navigation among the best of any app.
On the homepage, there is a row of icons at the top of the screen. These can be edited to display the sports and markets that the person uses the most. users can then quickly tap on a sports icon upon opening the app and be presented with all the events and markets relating to it.
By tapping the football icon, for example, you will be taken to directly to all the latest football odds. There’s almost every league imaginable. There’s an incredible array of markets to choose between. From Match results to booking points, Paddy Power has a broad choice of popular and exotic markets to choose from.
Adding selections to the bet slip is swift and easy, as is placing singles and accumulators. The opportunity to wager more advanced bets such as a Lucky 15, Yankee or Trixie are also available directly from the bet slip.
Live Sports Betting
Most punters these days need live betting as part of a betting app’s offering. Paddy Power doesn’t disappoint. With one of the most expansive lists of live betting, the app is a credible option for any punter who enjoys in-play.
Tapping on the ‘In-Play’ icon in the customisable menu bar takes users to all the live betting options, across all sports events.
Punters can also cash out during live sporting events on most markets. It is advised to check that the cash-out feature is available first before placing a stake as some markets and specials don’t allow it.
Live Streaming
On top of betting in-play, users can watch their bet come in too!
The app offers up streams across a number of different sporting events. A real bonus for most punters. Meet the minimum wager on the game in question and if a live stream is available, it will be accessible from the event’s markets page.
The likes of Serie A, Ligue 1 and Eredivisie are all available to watch. All horse racing meets in the UK are available to be watched on live streams for free and other sports such as greyhounds, basketball and handball frequently have live streaming capabilities attached to them.
Paddy Power’s Bet Builder
The Bet Builder tool is one of the newest football and basketball betting features. You can now combine numerous markets together and instantly get odds on all of your selections as a single bet. Select a valid event and look for the bet builder option within the top menu bar of the markets page.
The bet builder tool is a little clunky, compared to other bet builders available. However, that is only down to the number of markets you have available. You may have to scroll down a while to find your preferred market, but personally, I would prefer to have more markets to choose from.
Some of my most used bet builder markets here are:
- Match odds
- Player to have a shot
- Both teams to score
- Player to have a shot on target
- Player bookings
- Anytime assist
There are plenty more markets available. There were around 50 markets to choose from the last time we checked.
Paddy Power also offers a bet builder insurance from time to time, so keep your eye out for this offer. The promotion, when available, returns your stakes (up to a maximum of £10) if one leg of a bet builder, consisting of 4 or more selections fails to come in.
Request A Bet Paddy Power Style!
If the bet builder isn’t providing the markets required or if you are looking to bet on an event that the bet builder feature is unavailable on, you can request a specific bet to be made available directly to the Paddy Power support team.
They will then pass on the request to the traders for a decision to be made on whether to make it available and if so, at what price. This information then gets fed back to the user who made the request, either declining or with a link directing to the bet requested.
Bet requests can be made by messaging Paddy Power on Twitter (@AskPaddyPower) or by email (SMPriceRequests@paddypower.com)
Football Betting on the Paddy Power app
There are a lot of advantages to betting on football with Paddy Power. One of those is the Power prices that are available on feature matches and competitions. These regularly boost football betting markets to make them the market-leading price.
Another reason why Paddy Power is a good football betting app is their 2 up – You Win offer*. Paddy Power will pay out early as a winner if your team goes two goals up, even if they go on to draw or lose. This offer is available across all of the major leagues and tournaments. Check out the current league on the promotions tab on the app.
There’s the new bet builder feature providing more options than ever before and an ‘access’ tab that is perfect for picking multiple selections from the same day, league or competition.
The live football betting hub is also excellent. You can quickly see all the live games and scores and place quick bets on the match results. Tap into any of the matches to get the full list of live betting markets. On major football matches, you can find in excess of 50 markets in play.
Horse Racing Betting
This app probably excels the most in its horse racing section.
Paddy Power is one of the few to offer live streaming on all UK and Irish racing for free. All that is required is for you to be registered and logged in.
Other bookmakers offer live streaming on horse racing, but there are heavier restrictions. For example, having to place a net on the race in question or to have a funded account. There’s none of that nonsense with Paddy Power. Log in, navigate to the race markets and hit the watch live button to get straight to the live stream.
Free Live Streaming
Information and statistics from the racing post are integrated in to the racecards. There’s also a list of tips provided from a whole host of media sources, such as The Times and The Guardian.
There’s not just horse racing from the UK and Ireland on the app. Racing from all over the world is covered. However, you will find a more limited choice of markets.
Specials are abundant, as are the antepost markets, providing betting options on races and festivals up to 12 months in advance. Virtual racing is also ready to be played. Virtual races get underway every two minutes. This serves as a nice way to keep you entertained in between the real races.
Our Verdict
We’re huge fans of the desktop service and that only transfers itself to the Paddy Power app. With an in-depth series of markets and selections, users are never short of finding a decent wager to try and win big on. Registered customers get a chance to win prizes with the Beat the drop game, 15 rounds to see how much you have left at the end – Can you beat the drop? (We can’t – yet!) – Terms apply, 18+, offer may be withdrawn at any time.
Its smooth navigation makes it perfect for both new and experienced punters. The promotions on offer also make it that much more delightful to play.
It really is worth opening a Paddy Power account and downloading the app. You certainly won’t regret it!

Other Paddy Power Apps

Most of these games are really interactive. They have clearly been developed with current smartphones in mind. Some of the games even use swiping and tapping of the screen to perform acts in the game or simply to activate them.
Paddy Power claim that someone wins on the Paddy Power bingo app every twenty seconds. Popularity like this brings about a large number of players an therefore, big jackpots.

Slingo games are also available here. These are games that combine slots and bingo together to create whole new genre of entertainment.

There’s also new and quirky live games such as Crazy Time, The Money Drop and Adventures beyond wonderland to try out.
The Paddy Power games app shifts the focus over to the slot machines. There’s over 1100 slots titles to sift through and try out. Although this is a huge catalogue, useful search, filter and sort features help to bring the games most likely to be of interest to the top of the screen.
Megaways slots and big jackpot games are in abundance here and when users are tired of spinning the reels, they can transition across to live dealer games or online casino games without having to leave the app.
Poker can be accessed from the Paddy Power Sports app menu, but for those who have nothing but Poker in mind, the Paddy Power poker app will provide a more immersive experience.
It has styles that suit those poker players looking for a quick ten minute fix, along with those wanting hours worth of action from a multi-table tournament.
A newly added feature called Club Games now lets users host private matches between friends on the poker app, with rules set up as required.
The Paddy Power Onside app blends the shop and online experience together seamlessly.
The app will keep track of all of the bets placed on the high street, making sure users can see exactly how much they are up or down over a given period of time.
The tracker also works well for unsettled bets. Live audio and video streams are integrated in to the app and are offered on selections the user is tracking.
The app also provides cash-out options on unsettled bets placed in Paddy Power shops. Now users can make profits from their high street bets, even if they lose – if they can cash-out wisely.
Q & A
The quickest way to keep up to date with their offers is to follow them on twitter @paddypower. As well as the latest offers, they’ve got some fantastic banter and loads of fun posts and free bet giveaways.
There’s not really any difference between the official Paddy Power android app, iPhone app and the mobile site, it’s just there for people who prefer having an “app” installed.
If you’re trying to use Paddy Power outside the UK then it depends on the country as to whether it will work. The Google Play app is restricted to the UK and Ireland territories only. The mobile site will work in some countries.
Paddy Power are more than happy to evaluate and price up bets that are not currently available on the app. Tweet them your request from Twitter.
Tweet @askpaddypower directly or include #WhatOddsPaddy with what you are looking to bet on. The Paddy Power team will then come back to you with a price.
If the bet holds too much risk, Paddy Power may well politely refuse the request.
Unfortunately not, when on a smaller screen you are automatically directed to the mobile site. If you are on a larger screen tablet, like an iPad Pro you will get the desktop site.

There may be a situation where the digital checks that Paddy Power do in the background to link bank accounts and home addresses may bring back insufficient confirmation.

FAQs
Paddy Power aim to settle all bets within an hour. If you have waited longer than this, our best advice is to use the live help centre referencing the net in question so that the team can investigate.
Paddy Power use a well known third party known as Opta to settle their bets. They also use Opta to define certain markets.
The maximum payout offered by Paddy Power on the Sports betting side is £1,000,000. However this relates on to the following football markets:
- Match result
- Total goals
- Correct score
- First goal scorer
- Asian handicaps
- Handicap betting
Other markets and sports have significantly less maximum payouts attached to them. If you are making up big accumulators on a certain sport or market, it is worthwhile checking the Paddy Power help centre to make sure you are not exceeding the maximum payout for it.
