Paddy Power

About Paddy Power

They may be Ireland’s largest bookmaker but it’s fair to say that Paddy Power are known by people far wider than just the Irish. They operate online giving them a wider market but a lot of the awareness comes from the publicity stunts the site is known to undertake. Whether it is paying out early, offering a lot of cash back bets and just generally trying to put the fun back into gaming, Paddy Power stand apart from many of their peers.

Ease of use

The Paddy Power site follows the same layout as the majority of other sites but the text is a bit smaller. This is done to cram more into the pages and whilst this is good as it gives more options, it feels a little cramped at times. If you have trouble with small text, Paddy power may not be the best for you but the site on the whole is good. It is certainly easy to navigate.

On certain cards, Paddy Power do not pay out directly to your card, they instead send a cheque out to you for your withdrawals. This can be extremely annoying for many users and could put some people off of using Paddy Power as their online bookmaker.

Markets

Paddy Power offer a fair range of sporting bets and all the usual live betting and more detailed football bets are available. As is to be expected, there is a decent representation of Irish sports and keeping with the general theme of the site, there are many novelty events included in the Sportsbook. Whether its red card for footballers, reality TV shows or Paddy Powers own reality show featuring hatching eggs or just political parties, there is a wide range of choice to the Sportsbook options within Paddy Power.

If you make a lot of wagers or you place a lot of money in one go, this aspect can make a big difference to your potential winnings and is well worth checking out.

There are also extra elements to Paddy Power that definitely places them on their own. One such feature is the Weddings Sweepstake kit that is available to download. A Grand National Sweepstake kit is handy once a year but with the possibility of so many weddings, why not have some fun by having a competition to guess how long the speeches take. Whoever gets closest wins the kitty, whoever is furthest away has to do a forfeit? If you like to have fun with betting, Paddy Power is definitely the site for you.
