As you would expect, football takes the main stage with Paddy covering matches from all around the world 24/7. However, being an Irish bookmaker, it’s no surprise that there is also a heavy focus on horse racing. You’ll find regular price boosts, money back specials and extra places being offered across a number of races, which has made Paddy Power a popular choice for horse racing enthusiasts.
There’s no shortage of markets either for the majority of sports. Football matches in major leagues and competitions often have well over 100 betting markets ranging from betting on the winner to which team will receive the first booking. There is also a lot of focus on #WhatOddsPaddy markets. These are custom bets compiled using bets from a range of markets. An example of a #WhatOddsPaddy market may be ‘Harry Kane to score first, 10+ corners in the match, Rashford to be carded & over 2.5 goals’. This allows customers to have more freedom over their bets and extremely high odds are offered for a lot of them.
Being an Irish bookmaker, Paddy Power cover a wide range of horse races taking place around the world. You’ll find daily betting offers on several races such as Extra Places, Money-Back Specials, Price Boosts, Power Ups and more. Paddy Power also pay First Past The Post and offer Best Odds Guaranteed on all UK & Irish races which is a great reason to use them for your horse racing bets. On top of the betting offers, customers can also watch the horse races which you bet on via their live streaming service.

If there is a live sporting event taking place, then it’s likely that you’ll be able to bet on it at Paddy Power. However, the range of in-play betting markets at Paddy Power isn’t as extensive as at some of the other top bookmakers. However, you’ll be able to bet on the more popular in-play markets such as match winner, correct score, over/under goals, next goalscorer and many more. For -in-play tennis betting, in-play markets include set betting, most double faults, most aces, set/point betting and more. There really are enough in-play markets available to please the vast majority of users.
Paddy Power offer live streaming across a range of different sports but when a stream isn’t available, customers can view the digital representation of current events. For football matches, it will show where the ball is, which team is attacking and if a corner, throw-in or free kick has been awarded. This feature can assist you with making a more informed in-play bet.
Along with the digital representation of the event, you can also view the statistics for the event taking place. Stats such as aces, double faults, % of first serves won for tennis are available and the number of corners & cards for football. Unfortunately, Paddy Power do not provide as many stats as some other bookmakers, especially for less-popular football matches but they can still be a big help if you join the match part way through.
Bet Builders are a common feature at online bookmakers but Paddy Power Bet Builders are one of the most used, mainly due to the fact that they offer customers their money back as a free bet if one selection in their 4+ leg Bet Builder lets them down.
Paddy Power Bet Builders work similar to how they do with other bookies. Customers can add a number of selections for the same sporting event to their betslip and Paddy Power will offer combined odds as a multiple.
There are several different betting markets that can be included in Bet Builder at Paddy Power including a player to have X shots on target, over/under goals, a player to score or assist, the number of player passes and much more.
Bet Builders at Paddy Power are available on the vast majority of football matches, especially in the top leagues around the world, as well as other sports such as Basketball and American Football.
Paddy Power offers a free live streaming service for many sports including football, tennis, basketball and golf. These streams are free to watch proving that you have a funded Paddy Power account.
The streams which are available to you will depend on where in the world you are accessing them from as some events, such as Premier League football, may not be able to be streamed due to broadcasting rights. However, there are dozens of live streams available throughout the day from some popular leagues and competitions.
To view which streams are currently available, simply click on the ‘In-Play’ tab once you are logged into your Paddy Power account and then on the Play icon to open the stream.
If you’re interested in streaming live horse races then you’re in luck as Paddy Power provide streams for horse racing at racecourses in the UK, Ireland, Latin America, Australia, Singapore and the USA. The requirements to stream horse racing are slightly different to other sports as you will be required to place a bet with the exception of horse racing streams from the USA and RSA which are free to stream providing you have a funded account with a balance of £2 or more.
For all other horse races, you must place a bet with a stake of £1 or more on the race you wish to watch. This can either be a £1 single bet or a £0.50 each way bet proving the total stake on the race is £1 or more. For all other bet types, please see the table below for more information:

Although Paddy Power, as the majority of other bookmakers advertise their streams as ‘Live’, there is usually a slight delay of between 2-5 seconds. This should pose too much of a problem when betting in-play but if your stream does freeze or lag, we recommend you refresh the stream to ensure it is as up to date as possible.
Streams for all sports can be accessed on desktop, mobile or tablet. We found the streams to load very fast and be of good quality.
The Paddy Power customer support team are on hand to answer any questions 24/7. Support is available via email, phone or live chat and the response time via all three channels is usually very quick.
Paddy Power online chat is usually the best option for quick questions as you are usually connected to a support agent within a matter of seconds and they are very knowledgeable and quick to respond. If you would prefer to talk to someone directly, a free phone number is available to customers in the UK & Ireland or if you have a question you think may have been asked before, you will most likely find an answer in their help section which contains answers to the more frequently asked questions around account issues, free bets & promotions, deposits & withdrawals and responsible gambling.
Overall, we rate Paddy Power’s customer support very highly.
The Paddy Power App is available for both Android and iOS devices including phone & tablets and is a must-have for anyone with a Paddy Power account.
With the Paddy Power app, you’ll have access to everything you would if you were accessing the site from a desktop or mobile browser except must faster. You can log in via the fingerprint scanner on your device to save you manually entering login information and you’ll also have the benefit of receiving push notifications which can come in handy when there are special offers, price boosts or other promotions available at short notice.
Navigation in the app is excellent and works just like the mobile website does. Individual sports can be accessed quickly via the main menu and the homepage displays the latest offers along with current in-play markets and upcoming horse races.
Unlike some other bookmaker apps, you can access the Paddy Power Casino and Games sections directly in the app without having to open an external browser. You’ll also be able to check your progress of your participation in Paddy’s Rewards Club with the click of a button.
Paddy Power have one of the more user-friendly websites out of the top bookmakers. A list of sports is always visible allowing quick access to the sport of your choice and from within each sports category you’re able to filter the results by leagues/competition, outrights, in-play, starting soon etc.
The main section of the homepage is populated with in-play events as is the case with most bookmaker websites. Emphasis is towards horse racing which is no surprise with Paddy Power being an Irish bookmaker. A list of the days races are clearly displayed and we like that they show a selection of the horse for each race rather than just the meeting and the time.
You’ll also find the most popular and latest promotions on the homepage carousel along with available ‘Power Prices’. Paddy Power run a lot of offers for existing customers and so pay attention to these when visiting as a lot of them have value.
Overall, we like the Paddy Power website a lot. The green theme that Paddy Power is associated with is pleasing to the eye and navigation throughout the site is extremely easy.
As you would expect from Paddy Power, cash out option are available on your bets. Cashout isn’t available on all sports or markets but you will be able to see which markets are before placing your bet by looking for the cash out symbol. To cash out a bet, simply head to your open bets and any bets which are eligible for cash out will have a corresponding cash out amount alongside them along with a cash out button. There is also the option to partially cash out your bets. This allows you to choose how much of your bet you would like to cash out and leave the remainder on the bet. The remaining bet will be replaced at the current odds. Other bookmakers which offer partial cash out can be found here.
Paddy Power provide customers with not only a sportsbook but Online Casino, Games, Vegas, Virtuals, Bingo, Poker and Fantasy sections.

There are a number of tables available for each game which should mean that you’ll be able to get a seat playing the game you wish at the stakes you want. We would like to see more ‘host’ games similar to Spin A Win available at Paddy Power such as Deal or No Deal or Monopoly Live but overall, there is still a good range of games.
At Paddy Power Games, you’ll find hundreds of games in addition to those featured in the Paddy Power Casino.
