Background
Paddy Power began in Dublin, Ireland, in 1988, with 100s of betting shops. It later launched an online sportsbook, followed by its online casino in 2004. The company joined forces with Betfair in 2015 to create Paddy Power Betfair plc. It rebranded as Flutter Entertainment plc in 2016 and became part of the FTSE 100 Index. Its brands include Betfair, Paddy Power, Sportsbet, TVG and FanDuel.
Licences, security and fair play
The review names Paddy Power Services Limited as the holder of the MGA and UKGC licences for Paddy Power Casino, Bingo and Poker. It says PPB Counterparty Services Limited holds those same licences for other online betting products. The review presents this arrangement as supporting compliance with UK and EU rules across Paddy Power’s online betting operations.
The review says licence requirements oblige the casino to meet various standards. These include separating customer funds from company accounts, complying with data privacy laws, safeguarding account information against disclosure beyond casino servers, using fraud controls and financial encryption, allowing independent companies to assess game fairness, and meeting consumer rights requirements in the EU and UK.
Promotions and bonuses
With a substantial presence in both online and land-based casino markets, Paddy Power Casino offers customers a range of promotions, bonuses and VIP rewards.
New player offers
Players browsing the casino lobby or live casino section have a few welcome bonus options to consider. The main offers are the casino welcome bonus and the live casino bonus. Their terms and conditions mostly overlap, and are outlined below.
Casino welcome bonus: a €/£50 100% deposit match, plus 20 free spins on a selected slot after depositing at least €/£10. Bets are limited to 30% of the combined bonus and deposit. The wagering requirement is 35x, the offer is valid for 7 days, and winnings from the bonus are capped at £/€500.
The free spins have no wagering requirement. The source terms say 10 spins, each worth £/€0.20, are credited to the account within 24 hours of activating the bonus.
As the breakdown below shows, some games contribute less than 100% of each bet towards wagering requirements.
- Slots and scratchcards: 100%
- Roulette: 50%
- Card games: 25%
- Craps, video poker, pontoon and live casino: 0%
- Check the terms and conditions for exact wagering contribution rates
Live casino welcome bonus: £100 or €100, plus 5 Gold Chips worth £/€1 each, after a deposit of at least €/£120. Bets are limited to 30% of the combined deposit and bonus. The wagering requirement is 50x, and the offer lasts 7 days. Only Live Blackjack and Live Roulette bets count. Roulette contributes 25% when less than 75% of the table is covered; bets do not count toward the wagering period when coverage exceeds 75%.
Other welcome deals may apply to bingo or sportsbook bets, but are outside the scope of this casino review. The source terms also exclude e-wallet deposits from both welcome bonuses. Each offer has terms and conditions on its bonus page, including an ‘eligible games’ tab that lists qualifying titles.
Other bonuses
The review also mentions email bonus offers and prize draws with cash prizes in the thousands of UK pounds. It notes that the VIP/Loyalty rewards program may include recurring free spins.
VIP and loyalty
Loyal members can apply for a Paddy Power CashCard PPLUS MasterCard to withdraw winnings from their account. Membership in the Paddy Power Rewards Club may also include extra free spins and preferential bonuses.
According to the review, there are 3 ways to qualify for Paddy’s Rewards Club:
- Wager £/€25 on slots or table games from Monday to Sunday to get 10 free spins.
- Wager £/€50 on slots or table games from Monday to Sunday to get 10 free spins.
- Wager £/€250 on slots or table games from Monday to Sunday to receive a £/€10 free bet.
Banking options
For payment information, the source directs readers to ‘Help’ in the header or footer, then ‘Depositing and Withdrawing’ and the ‘Payment Methods’ FAQs. Its terms and conditions refer to section ‘7. Deposits and Withdrawals’.
Paddy Power lists its deposit and withdrawal methods in this section. Deposits can be made in local currency and converted to UK Pounds or Euros; withdrawals are converted back to the customer’s home currency.
Depositing
To deposit, visit the cashier. The minimum is £/€10.0. The review lists Debit/Credit Card, Bank Transfer, Neteller, PayPal, PaySafeCard, Skrill/Moneybookers, Cash Card, Entropay, ApplePay and Cash Card PPlus as deposit and withdrawal methods, describing them as instant. Cheques must be made payable to The Sporting Exchange (Clients) Ltd; funds are credited after the cheque clears.
Withdrawing funds
Withdrawals are available through the listed deposit methods, except Paysafecard and cheque. Debit or credit card payments take about 2 to 5 working days to clear, while bank transfers take 1 to 5 working days. The review says other withdrawals can take up to 24 hours and that there are no withdrawal limits.
Games catalogue
Games are spread across numerous sections. For casino titles, the source directs players to Vegas, Games, Casino and Live Casino; a search tool is also available.
- Casino: promotions, new games, roulette, blackjack, slots and jackpots
- Live Casino: live roulette, live blackjack, live table games and Age of the Gods
- Vegas: promotions, tournament lobby, all slots, daily jackpots, new releases, blackjack, roulette, all games and favourites
- Games: promotions, new titles, Megaways™, daily jackpots, Jackpot King, slots, roulette, blackjack, jackpot slots, Premier Slots, Paddy Picks and all games
There is a lot of variety across these categories. Splitting the catalogue across several sections can make browsing less intuitive, but players seeking a broad selection will have plenty to explore.
Paddy Power pays game winnings without limits. The review also notes that each title has an ‘i’ information button with additional details.
Game software providers
The games are attributed to these software studios and providers: Evolution Gaming, Playtech, OpenBet, Pragmatic, Blueprint Gaming, GamesOS/CTXM, Electracade, IGT (WagerWorks), GTECH G2, Gamesys and Red Tiger Gaming.
Slot games
The review lists more than 2,000 slots across the Vegas, Games and Casino sections. The catalogue includes jackpot titles, and Megaways slots are found under Games. With so much to choose from, slot fans may need to browse carefully; slot reviews can help narrow the options to games that match their preferences.
Table games
Paddy Power offers an extensive range of table games, including roulette, blackjack, poker, craps, Sic-Bo, video poker, baccarat and punto banco. The Casino, Vegas and Games sections include several versions of many of these games.
Live tables
The live section also offers a broad selection. The review lists more than 10 roulette variants and 15 blackjack variants, along with Live Hi-Lo, 3 Card Brag, Spin A Win, Casino Stud Poker, Sic-Bo, Baccarat, Hold’em and other games.
Mobile access review
Downloads are available for Android and iOS, and casino games can also be played in a web browser. The review describes the app and browser versions as adapting to different smartphone and tablet screen sizes. There is no Windows Mobile download, but Windows users can visit the site in a browser.
Help and support
Paddy Power offers 24/7 live chat, as well as email and phone support. It also directs users to Twitter for assistance and provides a large FAQ section with keyword search.
Paddy Power Casino: review summary
The review gives Paddy Power a strong overall assessment but notes several drawbacks: no Microgaming games, a welcome offer that may disappoint players looking for more, and a large catalogue that can be hard to navigate. It concludes these are minor issues compared with the casino’s broader offering.
