Paddy Power review  mobile app

  • Paddy Power’s mobile app is simple yet well presented for maximum efficiency on the go. It can be downloaded for both IOS and Android and takes a matter of minutes to download.
  • Once loaded, you can sign up by following the simple instructions or log in from the account details you have to hand.
  • Greeting you straight away is a banner across the top which you can scroll through. It lists all the offers available to Paddy Power customers, meaning you don’t have to hunt around for a good offer.
  • The list of sports is across the middle of the app with football and horse racing the main two, along with any in-play betting.
  • At the bottom of the app is a list of five options. A ‘Search’ option allows you to look for whatever you want on the app. ‘My bets’ tracks your betting history and allows you to keep up to date with your stakes, as well as live-stream anything you’ve bet on. Then there are options to play blackjack, roulette and slot-style games.

Paddy Power review website

  • Like the mobile app, Paddy Power’s website is sleek and simple, meaning users will have an easy experience when it comes to betting.
  • All sports are listed on a side panel on the left and there is a search function at the top of that list if you cannot find what you are looking for straight away.
  • Across the top bar is a list of different options to sport. Sport is the default home page but you can also look for casino-style games as well as in-play options. Then, across to the top right, you will be able to see your details, your current funds, and access your account.
  • The ‘Safer Gambling’ page with assorted information is also located in the top right-hand corner.
  • In the middle of the page, you will be greeted with offers, accompanied by pictures, while a list of football matches and horse races taking place on the day/in the not too distant future will also be shown. Many of the featured games/races will have boosted odds.

 

Paddy Power best features

There are so many special features to the Paddy Power app and website and here we pick out the best ones.

  • #WhatOddsPaddy – If you’re a creative gambler, you can ask Paddy Power to calculate a bet if it’s not listed on the site. Simply use the hashtag on twitter and Paddy Power will get back to you if the traders can work out the odds. This gives Paddy Power an authentic and interactive feel.
  • Live streaming – If you’ve bet on a horse race, the chances are you’d like to watch it. Paddy Power give you that option, both in terms of its desktop website and mobile app, so you won’t miss a second. Some of these streams are available for free without the need for a bet on sports such as football, golf and tennis. You just need to be logged in to your account to access them.
  • Football and horse racing stats – If you’re struggling in terms of what to bet on, or are not too sure about all the jargon associated with sport (particularly horse racing), Paddy Power can offer a helping hand. Located on the left side tab of the website are tabs dedicated to stats for both sports. You can access individual games and look at recent results, head-to-head meetings and home and away form. You can also check horse racing results and the form of those that are running.

 

Existing customer benefits

Paddy Power have numerous additional benefits, for new or existing customers, including Paddy’s Rewards Club, money-back specials and extra places promotion.  

1. Paddy’s Rewards Club

Very simply, if you’re loyal to Paddy Power, then Paddy Power will be loyal to you. If you bet 5 x £5 in a week, you’ll get a free £5 bet from Paddy Power. Scaling that up, 5 x £10 bets per week will reward you with a free £10 bet.

2. Money back as cash if you lose

This offer is available to new customers, residents in the UK or Republic of Ireland only. It allows those customers to receive their stake back as cash up to the value of £/€10. A customer’s first placed bet will be counted as the qualifying bet. The stake can be placed on any sportsbook bet, for example football, horse racing or golf.

3. Extra places promotion

Extra places is a promotion offered on selected races. Extra places means Paddy Power will pay out an extra place above the standard terms on each-way bets. So, if your horse finishes 4th in an extra places race and Paddy Power usually pay out for 3 places, the place part of any each-way bet will still be paid out.
