History
Paddy Power has a long history. The brand began in in 1988 in Dublin, Ireland with 100s of betting shops. It soon developed an online sportsbook before finally opening its online casino in 2004. In 2015 the company joined forces with Betfair creating Paddy Power Betfair plc. The name then changed to Flutter Entertainment plc in 2016 and the company was floated on the FTSE 100 Index where it remains with a number of brands operating underneath it such as Betfair, Paddy Power, Sportsbet, TVG and FanDuel.
Licenses / Security and Fair Play
The company that holds the Paddy Power Casino, Bingo and Poker website licenses with the MGA and UKGC is Paddy Power Services Limited. PPB Counterparty Services Limited also holds the same licenses for other online betting facilities. This is quite an intricate setup and means that the PaddyPower casino has gone to a lot of effort making sure every aspect of its online betting operations fully complies with UK and EU laws.
There are numerous regulations the casino has to follow to remain compliant with its licensors’ rules such as keeping customer funds separate from the casino’s own bank accounts, following data privacy acts so player’s account information is never shared outside of the casino’s servers, putting in place fraud protection, financial encryption, allowing third-party companies to test game fairness, and putting in place customer services to ensure that consumer rights laws in the EU and UK are followed to the letter.
Bonuses and Promotions
Being such a large company both online and in the land-based online casino market, Paddy Power Casino can afford to treat its customers well via a wealth of bonuses, promotions, and VIP rewards.
Welcome Bonus
Depending on which area of the casino you want to play at, there are a few welcome bonus options. The main two are the casino welcome bonus and live casino bonus. Most of the same terms and conditions apply to both which we will cover below.
Casino Welcome Bonus: €/£50 100% deposit match welcome bonus plus 20 free spins on a selected slot when you deposit €/£10 or more. You can place bets up to 30% of the value of the bonus and deposit combined. There is a 35x wagering requirement attached, it is valid for 7 days, and any winnings as a direct result of the bonus are capped at £/€500.
However, the free spins have absolutely no wagering requirements. You will have 10 credited to your account within 24 hours of bonus activation and each spin is worth £/€0.20 each
Not all games contribute 100% of the bet towards the wagering requirements as per the list below.
- Slots and scratchcards: 100%
- Roulette: 50%
- Card Games: 25%
- Craps, video poker, pontoon, live casino: 0%
- Read terms and conditions for exact wagering requirement contributions
Live Casino Welcome Bonus: £100 or €100 welcome bonus plus 5 Gold Chips worth £/€1 each when you deposit €/£120 or more. You can place bets up to 30% of the value of the bonus and deposit combined. There is a 50x wagering requirement, the bonus is valid for 7 days, and only Live Blackjack and Live Roulette bets will count towards the wagering requirement. Roulette will only contribute 25% if under 75% of the table is covered, but if more than 75% is covered, then bets will not contribute to the wagering requirement period.
Further Bonus Information: If you want to play bingo or sportsbook bets, then there are various other welcome bonuses outside of the scope of this casino review. Furthermore, deposits made using e-wallets cannot take advantage of either of the welcome bonuses. Also, alongside each of the bonuses terms and conditions (found under the bonus offer on the bonus page), there is an ‘eligible games’ tab you can use that can be used with the bonus.

Mobile Casino Review
Thre are both Android and iOS downloads, or you can log on and play casino games via your web browser. Paddy Power has designed both to perfection. It does not matter how large or small your smartphone or tablet device is, PaddyPower had designed both the app and web browser options to fit any screen size. There is no Window Mobile download, but Windows is accessible via the web browser.
Customer Support
Paddy Power’s support team is available 24/7 via its live chat. There is also email and telephone support, you can Tweet for help using Twitter, plus there is a huge and very easy to delve into FAW section with a keyword search tool.
Start Playing At Paddy Power Casino
As far as online casinos go, Paddy Power is almost flawless. The best we can do is point its minor flaws such as the fact that maybe Microgaming fans will be disappointed because there are no games from this software provider. Those looking for a bigger welcome bonus might not want to sign up. And, there are so many games here that it can become confusing sifting through all the options. Aside from this, the casino is amazing!
