Paddy Power is Irelands largest and most popular bookmaker with 196 high street outlets. It is consistently improving its market share in the UK thanks to it’s great odds, cash back specials and bonuses.
The Paddy Power website uses a green and orange colour scheme that is also used in its branches and fits really well with the Irish roots of the company. The site is very easy to use which is great if you are new to sports betting and the odds on offer have improved dramatically over the last couple of years. There a number of handy extras available to assist you with your sports betting including a fantastic radio station supplying live commentary from all of the big meetings, a betting calculator, and sports event results page. You can even download a Paddy Power toolbar that help keep you up to date with everything going on in the sports and betting world.
One of our main issues with Paddy Power is that it does not really cater to international bettors to the same standard as those in the UK and Ireland. There are only a few languages supported which is a shame, and international currencies are not generally accepted. Of course this is not a problem if you are betting from the UK or Ireland but with sports betting being popular all over the world, this really should be addressed.
In addition to its sports book offering, Paddy power also provides a great online casino, poker mini site, and bingo. If you like to do all of your betting under one ‘roof’ then Paddy Power is a great option.
Paddy Power’s Free Bet – Bet £10 get £20 free
Although it isn’t one of the largest free bet offerings, Paddy Power’s “bet £10 get £20 free” deal is one of our favourites. You don’t just get the usual cash match deal – Paddy Power in fact double your first bet with them and give it back to you as a free one. All you need to do to take advantage of this great offer is:
1. Visit the Paddy Power website and register your details with them.
2. Deposit funds and place a bet worth ten pounds or more at odds of 1 / 2 or greater, and your account will be credited with £20 free to bet with.
Just to reiterate, the odds at which you place your first bet must be greater than 1 / 2 and remember the free bet is stake non returnable as is the case with the vast majority of free sports bets.
Market Choice
As you would expect, Paddy Power offers an extensive range of betting markets that covers all the popular mainstream sports. It also provides its users with some of the most quirky betting markets available on the internet. At the time of writing this review, Paddy Power is offering bets on the winner of the Booker Prize, the net Archbishop of Canterbury, and the company that will next sponsor the London Eye!
