Strengths & watch outs

Strong point

  • Holds two separate active UKGC licences (sportsbook and casino) with 0 regulatory actions listed against either account, confirmed directly on the Gambling Commission's public register
  • Backed by Flutter Entertainment, one of the largest listed global betting and gaming groups

Watch out

  • We could not independently verify current deposit, withdrawal or identity-verification terms from paddypower.com during this build - check current terms directly before relying on them
  • The brand operates through several linked GB-registered entities (at least six on the public register); this review only verifies the two we identified as covering the main sportsbook and casino product

Is it right for you?

Who it might suit

  • Players who want one account covering both sportsbook and casino, backed by a large, well-resourced group
  • Players who prefer an operator with no listed Gambling Commission enforcement history on its current record

Who should be more cautious

  • Players who want certainty on exact withdrawal timing before signing up - we could not confirm this from a primary source this pass
  • Players tracking corporate stability signals - parent Flutter Entertainment's London Stock Exchange listing was cancelled on 3 August 2026 (having already moved its primary listing to New York in 2024), and Flutter has announced a Group CEO handover from Peter Jackson to Dan Taylor effective 1 October 2026, which had not yet taken place as of this review's last check

Frequently asked questions

Is Paddy Power licensed in the UK?

Yes. The Gambling Commission's public register shows Power Leisure Bookmakers Limited (account 1034) actively licensed for sportsbook activities and PPB Games Limited (account 39411) actively licensed for casino activities, both confirmed on 5 September 2026, each with 0 listed regulatory actions.

Who owns Paddy Power?

Flutter Entertainment plc, an Ireland-headquartered group that also owns Betfair, Sky Betting & Gaming, PokerStars, FanDuel and Sportsbet. Flutter moved its primary stock listing from London to New York in 2024, and its London Stock Exchange listing was cancelled on 3 August 2026, so Flutter shares now trade solely on the NYSE.

Is Dan Taylor the CEO of Paddy Power's parent company?

Not yet, as of this review's last check (5 September 2026). Flutter Entertainment announced on 5 August 2026 that Dan Taylor will become Group CEO from 1 October 2026, succeeding Peter Jackson, who steps down on 30 September 2026. Peter Jackson remained the current Group CEO at the time we last checked.

Does Paddy Power have a clean regulatory record?

As of this review, both GB licence accounts we identified for Paddy Power (sportsbook and casino) show 0 regulatory actions on the Gambling Commission's public register. We did not individually check the brand's other registered GB entities.
