Paddy Power is often referred to as Ireland’s biggest and most innovative online sports bookmaker. And there’s a good reason why – it has a long and successful history of offering nothing but value and fairness to its customers. The betting experience it provides is truly one of a kind and simply cannot be duplicated. The company takes a good deal of pride in its timely and fair payouts, its comprehensive sportsbook and the great number of special offers and bonuses it provides to everyone, who registers with the website. That’s the secret behind Paddy Power’s success and its continual and rapid growth.
Paddy Power was established almost three decades ago, in 1988, after three of the most successful Irish bookmakers merged together. Since then, the bookmaker has taken betting on sports to a new level, by always being ahead of its time and integrating the latest innovations to provide a pleasant and quality betting experience to all of its customers.
The company always manages to keep up with the latest trends – it launched its iPhone app in 2010 and is now available on all mobile devices, allowing sports enthusiasts to place their wagers on the go from their smartphones or tablets. But it gets better – sometimes you’re on the move, but don’t have access to an internet connection. That’s not a problem at all, as Paddy Power accepts bets over the phone or via text messages.
Paddy Power covers a massive number of prestigious and exciting sports events and is a fully reliable and secure betting website, licensed and regulated by the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission. It has branched off and currently offers a vast range of online casino games as well.
The bookmaker keeps keen punters up-to-date with the latest news in the sports world, thanks to its informative blog. Its YouTube channel is also very fun to browse through.
Sportsbook
As one of the veterans in online sports betting, Paddy Power has plenty of options on offer, as its sportsbook is rather comprehensive. You surely won’t struggle for long, before you manage to find your favorite sport to bet on. Furthermore, there is an option for all individual preferences and bankrolls. The bookmaker covers everything from popular sports like European football, volleyball and tennis to less conventional options like bowls – a lawn sport, the objective of which is to roll a larger biased ball, so that it stops as close as possible to a smaller ball, knows as a “kitty”.
Punters, who enjoy American sports, won’t be disappointed either, as they have several options to pick from. One of them is wagering on important NFL matches – fans of American football are in for a big surprise as special accumulator insurances are on offer, if you place your bet on several selections and one of them turns out to be losing. The same applies for NBA meetings. Yet another option for fans of popular American sports is betting on baseball. The best part is you get to choose between an impressive number of markets, available at Paddy Power.
There are plenty of other alternatives to place your bets on. These include sports like cricket, table tennis, squash, triathlon, netball, ice hockey, darts and handball, among many others.
However, not all sports revolve around physical exertion. Some are based on precision only, but are equally entertaining. If cue sports are more to your liking, you might opt for betting on popular options like pool and snooker, as those are also present on Paddy Power’s sportsbook.
Yet another option is wagering on virtual sports. Even though real, flesh-and-blood players do not participate in these, the innovative, high-quality visuals and sounds are authentic enough to compensate for that fact. At Paddy Power, punters are given the opportunity to bet on virtual cycling, tennis and football matches.

Racebook
If you’re one of these punters who prefer to wager on races, you’d be very pleased with the options, available at Paddy Power. Similarly to other online bookmakers, Paddy Power offers the opportunity to bet on horse racing – one of the oldest equestrian sports in the world. All races that are to be held, are displayed in the horse racing section, where you can choose to browse through the next five races or check these that are to follow in the next few days.

To keep them happy, the bookmaker has developed an application, compatible with Android and iOS portable devices. The mobile application is available for free download at the App Store and Google Play and will provide you with the opportunity to place your bets in a quick, easy and convenient fashion. It’s highly-praised for providing the ultimate football betting experience, as it grants punters access to literally thousands of markets, enabling them to place their bets wherever they might happen to be – while at the train or bus station or waiting in a queue.
The application is especially handy, because it provides extensive coverage of a great number of sports events. Horse racing fans are also given leverage, as Paddy Power’s app grants them handy tips on which horses to stake on.
Its layout is quite eye-pleasing as it boasts Paddy Power’s trademark colours – green and white.

Bonuses and Promotions
Paddy Power’s name is built on its ability to keep punters happy by always living up to the highest standards of service in the industry. One way to achieve this is by granting them a number of fabulous bonuses and promotions, thus further increasing their chances of winning a life-changing amount of money.
Free bets are distributed from the very beginning, when you sign up with an account. Paddy Power provides a rather exciting bonus to newcomers, giving them a warm welcome after they’ve joined in.

If you download their mobile application, sign up with an account and bet a minimum of £/€10, you’re entitled to a total of four bets for free – each of them amounts to £/€10.

A number of “Money-Back” specials are also on offer. Punters can greatly benefit from the Acca Insurance Offer, for example. If you place 5+ Win-Draw-Win accumulator on major European and UK leagues, and lose because one of your selections was incorrect, you’ll get your money in the form of a free bet. The latter is valid for football only and must be used within the following seven days. The refund amounts to a maximum of £/€50, but keep in mind wagers placed with free bets will not qualify for this offer.
If you sign up with the special £/€50 Free Bets offer and place a bet, amounting to £/€50, the same amount will be added to your account’s balance as a bonus.
