Paddy Power Bookmaker for Special Bets
Paddy Power is Ireland's largest bookmaker and in the last season has improved it's ranking with us considerably. This is mainly due to Paddy offering even better odds (taking less margin).
Paddy Power offers win, lose or money back betting & there's always something new on site. PaddyPower is also renowed for 'Justice" payouts where they pay out based on what they think should have happened, as well as the actual result. A great deal for punters! This is also the best bookmaker for novelty bets - e.g. Big Brother, Eurovision, Gordon Brown's exit, Rooney's baby, 2009 House Prices...
Paddy Power is targeted to the UK and European markets and at present supports accounts in just two currencies: GBP Sterling (£) Euro (€). German & Spanish language sites are also available.

OK, so why should I join now? We've negotiated £30 in free bets (or € equivalent) as a join bonus, rather than the usual tenner. (If you use any of the links on this page). We also know Paddy has some great betting promotions planned for the new season. Join!
Paddy Power is renowned for money back specials that pay out surprisingly often e.g.“Don't Be the Fall Guy” where punters whose horse falls get their stake back. “Red Card Tonight Punters Delight” - if a player is sent off, losing punters get their money back or a free bet of the same value. These examples of Cash Back Specials are typical of the deals on offer and there are new offers on site most days of the week. Paddy Power sportsbook also regularly adds extra payout places to Horse Racing and golfing events (eg pays, four, five...even seven places!)
DEPOSITS - Currently you can deposit funds into your PaddyPower.com account via cash (at a shop), or online with Visa or Mastercard credit cards, Laser, Switch, Delta & Solo debit cards. Deposits from debit cards must be in the currency of issue. Other banking options include: Bank Transfer, Cheques, An Post Billpay, Western Union QuickPay Money Orders, Neteller and Moneybookers (great for hassle-free betting!), PayPal.
WITHDRAWALS - The minimum withdrawal is £10 or €10. The maximum daily withdrawal is: €2500 or £2000. Contact PaddyPower's Customer Service Team if you have problems or wish to make larger withdrawals. They're on to it and very friendly and efficient.

PADDY POWER BOOKMAKER, safe, secure UK licensed sports betting
1. The variety of Bets available. Betting with Paddy Power can be a lot of fun - they cover
markets that other bookies won't even go near.
2. Money Back Specials. It's always worth checking out the site to see what they're offering -
these specials pay out surprisingly often!
3. Odds on a favourite. Paddy Power are prepared to take on a favourite sometimes and will
stand in the market with a top price.
4. "Justice" Payouts and Fun local promos for UK & Irish punters (eg Henri's hand ball!)
1. They are a bit Ireland / UK centred. There is no disputing that PaddyPower is focusing on
servicing the local Irish & UK markets. This means that the lesser European football leagues
aren't covered & sometimes UEFA & International matches aren't covered unless there is strong
UK interest. No Asian Handicaps either...
2. Just Two Currencies - GBP Sterling (£) Euro (€) that's it. Still - it's not too much of a hassle & the
Euro is supposed to be strengthening…so you can do some currency speculation as well.
3. Punters using Moneybookers and Neteller are no longer eligible for the Free bets join bonus :-(
Paddy Power is a good solid bookmaker especially for Irish and UK punters. If you like novelty bets (politics, celebrity themes or TV shows) then you'll love Paddy Power. A good solid bookie for performance and payouts and we rate them highly for punters with £ or €.
