Paddy Power App Review & User Guide

Paddy Power app review

The Paddy Power app is the mobile sportsbook from one of the UK’s best-known betting brands. Owned by Flutter Entertainment, it combines sports betting, live markets, Bet Builder, Cash Out, racing coverage and regular promotions in a straightforward mobile interface.

Current new customer offer

Paddy Power regularly runs a welcome promotion for eligible new customers. The exact offer, qualifying bet, minimum odds, reward and expiry conditions can change, so check the current offer displayed at the top of this page and read the full promotional terms before registering or depositing.

Promotions are subject to eligibility requirements and terms. Never deposit or bet simply to qualify for an offer.

What you will find on the Paddy Power app

Paddy Power’s mobile sportsbook covers football, horse racing, tennis, golf, cricket, rugby, darts, snooker, basketball, American football and many other sports. Upcoming events, live betting markets and promotions are accessible from the main navigation.

The app is designed around quick access to commonly used sports and markets. Selecting an event opens its available betting markets, while chosen selections are added to the bet slip. From there you can enter a stake, review the bet and place it.

More advanced features include Bet Builder on eligible events, Bet Builder+ for combining qualifying selections across different matches, live betting, Cash Out on eligible bets and live streaming where rights and eligibility allow.

Other Paddy Power products

Paddy Power also offers casino, games, bingo and other gambling products. Some are accessible from the main Paddy Power account and mobile experience, although the products and availability can differ by platform and location.

This review focuses primarily on the Paddy Power sportsbook app rather than its casino and gaming products.

Paddy Power app features

Jump to a topic:

Functionality and navigation

One of Paddy Power’s biggest strengths is that the app makes a very large sportsbook relatively straightforward to navigate. Popular sports and competitions are easy to reach, while search and event navigation help you find less prominent fixtures.

Tap a price to add it to the bet slip. Multiple selections can be combined into accumulators where permitted, while traditional multiple bets may also be available for qualifying selections.

The account area gives access to your balance, payments, betting activity, account details, support and safer gambling controls. Exact menu names and positions can change as Paddy Power updates the app.

Live sports betting

Paddy Power provides in-play betting across a broad range of sports. The number and type of live markets depend on the event, sport and stage of the fixture.

Live event pages can include changing odds, scores and other event information alongside the available markets. Because prices move while an event is taking place, always check the displayed odds before confirming a bet.

Cash Out is available on eligible bets rather than every market. Look for the Cash Out indicator on the event or bet. Paddy Power may also offer Partial Cash Out on qualifying bets, allowing you to cash out part of the position while leaving the remainder active.

Live streaming

Paddy Power provides live streaming for selected sports and events. Availability depends on broadcasting rights, customer location, account status and any event-specific eligibility requirements.

Where a stream is available, the option normally appears on the relevant event or race page. Some streams may require a qualifying bet or funded account, while conditions can differ between sports.

Horse racing: Paddy Power has traditionally made live racing an important part of its sportsbook. Check the individual race page for the current Watch Live option and any applicable conditions.

Paddy Power Bet Builder

Bet Builder lets you combine several compatible selections from the same event into a single bet. It is particularly useful for football when you want to combine outcomes such as the match result, goals and player markets.

Open an eligible event and select the Bet Builder option to see the markets that can be combined. Availability varies by fixture and competition.

Typical football Bet Builder markets can include:

• Match result
• Total goals
• Both teams to score
• Player shots and shots on target
• Player goalscorer markets
• Player bookings
• Assists and other player markets where available

Bet Builder+ extends the concept by allowing qualifying Bet Builders or selections from different matches to be combined. The available combinations and minimum requirements depend on the events involved.

Paddy Power may occasionally run promotions linked to Bet Builder bets. These are not permanent features, so check the Promotions section and individual offer terms before betting.

Football betting

Football is one of the strongest areas of the Paddy Power app. Coverage ranges from major UK and European competitions to international football and leagues around the world.

Markets vary by fixture but can include match result, double chance, goals, handicaps, correct score, goalscorers, player shots, cards, corners and Bet Builder selections.

Paddy Power also runs enhanced prices and football promotions. Examples can include early-payout offers such as 2 Up You Win, but promotional availability, qualifying leagues and terms can change. Always check the current promotion before placing a qualifying bet.

Horse racing betting

Horse racing is another major part of Paddy Power’s sportsbook. Racecards provide runners, prices and supporting information for UK, Irish and international racing, with additional markets available on many races.

Ante-post betting is available on selected future races and festivals, while concessions such as Best Odds Guaranteed may be offered subject to the current Paddy Power rules and eligibility criteria.

Live streaming is available on qualifying races, and Cash Out may be available on eligible racing bets. Because concessions and streaming conditions can change, check the race page and Paddy Power’s current rules before betting.

Paddy Power app user guide

Below are walkthroughs for common tasks including placing a bet, registering, depositing, checking bets, verifying your account, withdrawing, closing an account and finding safer gambling controls.

Paddy Power periodically updates its app, so individual menu names or button positions may differ slightly from the screenshots shown on this page.

How to place a bet

You need an active Paddy Power account and sufficient cash balance or an eligible free bet before you can place a wager.

1. Open the Paddy Power app and choose the sport you want to bet on.
2. Select the competition or event.
3. Tap the displayed odds for your chosen selection to add it to the bet slip.
4. Add more selections if you want to create an accumulator and the selections are eligible to be combined.
5. Open the bet slip and enter your stake.
6. Check the selections, odds, stake and potential return before confirming.
7. Tap the button to place the bet and wait for confirmation that it has been accepted.

How to register

Paddy Power is available to customers aged 18 or over, subject to its eligibility requirements. Registration requires personal details so Paddy Power can create the account and carry out required identity, age and regulatory checks.

1. Tap Join Now or the equivalent registration button.
2. Enter the personal and contact information requested on the registration form.
3. Create your login credentials and complete any required account settings.
4. You will be prompted to consider setting a financial limit during registration or before making your first deposit.
5. Read the applicable terms and account information before completing registration.
6. Complete any identity or age checks Paddy Power requests.

UK gambling rules require online operators to give customers easily accessible financial-limit facilities from registration and to prompt customers to set a limit during registration or when making their first deposit or payment.

How to deposit

Paddy Power supports a range of payment methods. The options displayed to you depend on your location, device and account. These can include debit card, Apple Pay, PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, bank-based payment methods and other supported services.

Minimum and maximum deposits can vary by payment method, so use the figures displayed in your account rather than relying on a fixed minimum.

1. Open your account or payments menu and choose Deposit.
2. Select an existing payment method or add an eligible new method.
3. Enter the amount you want to deposit.
4. Review the transaction and complete any authentication requested by your bank or payment provider.

Only deposit money you can afford to lose. Deposit controls are available from Paddy Power’s safer gambling tools.

How to check your bets

Open My Bets to view bets associated with your account. Open bets and recently settled bets can be viewed from this area, although the exact filters available can change as the app is updated.

If an open bet is eligible for Cash Out, the current Cash Out value may be displayed alongside it. Cash Out availability and values can change while an event is in progress.

How to verify a Paddy Power account

Paddy Power carries out identity and age checks as part of its regulatory obligations. Many checks can be completed electronically, but additional information or documents may sometimes be requested.

The exact documents required depend on what Paddy Power needs to verify. Follow the instructions shown in your account or supplied by its verification team rather than sending documents that have not been requested.

1. Open your account settings.
2. Look for any verification notification or document-upload option.
3. Provide only the information or documents requested.
4. Wait for confirmation that the review has been completed or that further information is required.

How to withdraw

Available withdrawal methods depend on the payment methods linked to your account and Paddy Power’s payment rules. In some circumstances withdrawals may need to be returned to a payment method previously used to deposit.

1. Open your account and select Withdraw.
2. Enter the amount you want to withdraw.
3. Select an available withdrawal method if more than one is offered.
4. Review and confirm the withdrawal request.

Processing times vary by method. Paddy Power may also need to complete account or payment checks before processing a withdrawal.

How to close a Paddy Power account

Paddy Power distinguishes between ordinary account closure and safer-gambling exclusions.

If you simply no longer want to use the account, Paddy Power recommends withdrawing any remaining funds before closing it. For a regular closure, open the Close My Account page, follow the instructions and confirm the request using your password.

A regular closure can potentially be reversed later by contacting Paddy Power. If you are closing the account because gambling is causing concern or harm, consider the safer gambling options instead, including a break or self-exclusion.

How to find your betting history

Recent open and settled bets can be found through My Bets. For older account activity, open the relevant betting activity or transaction-history section of your account and use the available filters or date options.

How to view free bets

Free bets, bonuses and promotional rewards credited to your account can be viewed through the relevant balance or rewards area. The exact menu wording may vary between versions of the app.

Always check the expiry date and terms attached to a free bet before using it. Different promotions can have different minimum odds, market restrictions and settlement rules.

How to find Cash Out markets

Cash Out is available only across all markets. As such, there is no need for a cash out icon or symbol.

To check on what cash out is being offered on an open bet, go to My Bets and if a cash out is being offered it will show at the bottom of the bet.

Cash Out is not guaranteed to remain available throughout an event. The amount offered can change as odds and circumstances change.

How to find safer gambling tools

Open your Paddy Power account and navigate to the Safer Gambling section. Available controls include financial limits and options to take a break or self-exclude.

For UK customers, Paddy Power currently provides both a Deposit Limit and Net Deposit Limit within its Deposit Controls. These work differently, so read the description of each before choosing one.

How to get help and support

Paddy Power provides an online Help Centre covering betting rules, payments, account management, promotions, verification and safer gambling. Customer support messaging is available for issues that cannot be resolved through the help articles.

For safer gambling support, you can also contact independent organisations such as GamCare or use GAMSTOP if you want to self-exclude from participating UK online gambling operators.

Paddy Power app FAQ

Responsible gambling tools

Paddy Power provides a range of controls intended to help customers manage how much they gamble and take time away when needed. UK customers can access financial controls and options including short breaks and self-exclusion through the safer gambling area of their account.

How to access safer gambling tools

Open your Paddy Power account and navigate to the Safer Gambling section. The exact position of individual controls can change when the app is updated, but Paddy Power must make financial-limit facilities easily accessible to UK customers.

From 30 September 2026, UK remote gambling rules require operators to offer gross deposit limits. Where other types of financial limit are offered, gross deposit limits must be given at least equal prominence.

How Paddy Power Deposit Controls work

For UK customers, Paddy Power offers two types of Deposit Control: a Deposit Limit and a Net Deposit Limit.

Deposit Limit

A Deposit Limit restricts the gross amount you can deposit during a defined period. Withdrawals and winnings do not increase the amount available under the limit.

For example, if you set a £200 monthly Deposit Limit and deposit £100 twice during that month, you have reached the £200 limit. Withdrawing money does not restore any of that gross deposit allowance.

Net Deposit Limit

A Net Deposit Limit works differently because withdrawals are taken into account. In simple terms, it controls deposits minus withdrawals during the applicable period.

Paddy Power offers daily, weekly and monthly controls. Check the information displayed in the app when setting the control so you understand when your chosen period starts and resets.

1. Open the safer gambling area of your Paddy Power account.
2. Select Deposit Controls.
3. Choose the type of control you want to use.
4. Select the relevant period and enter your limit.
5. Review the information displayed and confirm the setting.

Reducing a limit: UK customers can reduce their limit at any time and the reduction takes effect immediately.

Increasing a limit: an increase is subject to a 24-hour cooling-off period. After the cooling-off period you will be asked to confirm the increase when you log in.

This is an important change from older versions of Paddy Power’s controls, which used different cooling-off periods.

How to take a break

Paddy Power’s Short Break is designed for customers who want to temporarily stop using the service without choosing a longer self-exclusion.

You can currently choose a Short Break lasting between 1 and 30 days. Your account cannot be used normally during the selected break, and the restriction is automatically removed when the chosen period ends.

Outstanding bets and any account balance remain on the account while the Short Break is active. Existing promotional offers may be affected by taking a break.

1. Open the safer gambling section of your account.
2. Select the option to take a break.
3. Choose a period between 1 and 30 days.
4. Read the information explaining what will happen to your account.
5. Confirm the break.

How to self-exclude

Self-exclusion is intended for customers who want a stronger and longer restriction than a Short Break.

Paddy Power provides temporary self-exclusion options for periods including six months to five years. A temporary self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the selected period expires.

For UK-based customers, Paddy Power states that temporary self-exclusions apply across Flutter brands operating in the UK. Paddy Power will also take reasonable steps to prevent a customer from opening new accounts and gambling while an exclusion is active.

Do not assume that a Paddy Power online self-exclusion automatically covers Paddy Power retail shops or every gambling operator. Check the scope shown when setting the exclusion.

1. Open the safer gambling area of your Paddy Power account.
2. Select the appropriate self-exclusion option.
3. Choose the available scope and duration that meets your needs.
4. Read the consequences of the exclusion carefully.
5. Confirm the exclusion.

Paddy Power also provides a permanent or lifetime exclusion. A permanent exclusion closes the account permanently and cannot be reactivated.

For broader online protection, UK customers can register with GAMSTOP, which provides free self-exclusion from gambling websites and apps operated by companies licensed in Great Britain that participate in the scheme.

Further help and support

If gambling is becoming difficult to control, you do not need to rely only on the controls provided by a bookmaker.

Independent support is available from GamCare, while GAMSTOP provides a free self-exclusion service covering participating online gambling companies licensed in Great Britain.

You can also use Paddy Power’s safer gambling support and Help Centre for assistance with its account controls.

If gambling is causing harm, consider stopping gambling and using self-exclusion and independent support services rather than relying solely on spending controls.
