Paddy Power Review

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!
Would have left 0 stars, but not possible.
They offer the loyalty club every week – so I have been playing it, spend 50 and get 10 as a free bet.
Been like this for a month and then I got an email that I am excluded from bonuses. The email also clearly stated that there are NO other restrictions. Fine – I was going to continue playing even without bonuses, but I found out that I was also stake restricted – for example I want to stake 2 or 5 on a horse and the website tells me my maximum stake is 0.46?? what?
I call a friend and ask him about his maximum stake on same bet – he tried 100 – no issues at all. The website then asks me to make my stake over the phone – the hell?
I contacted live chat – they said no other restrictions except bonuses. Then I prove them with screenshots that I am actually restricted and my friend is not – and they say its not true and I should try to make stake over the phone. This is ridiculous.
After contacting 3 different chat agents for 3 days – they all claimed the same – I decided to try over the phone. So I asked the guy what the problem is – he refused to help, but asked me what stake I would like to make – I picked a random game and told him I wanted to make a 2 pound stake, and website allowed me to make only 0.80. He then said he will ask "the traders" – and they replied "we have no confidence in this game, thats why your stake is restricted" – LOL. And in this very moment my friend was with me and he could make a 100 pound stake on the same bet and on the same game.
What a BUNCH of liars and morons. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!

Low lifes like all these betting Apps been with them PP Unibet Boyle sports etc etc PP was my first one a complete scam you've no chance really it's all completely rigged against the punters.
If a decent company with a gambling app came along and was fair it would finnish all these gangsters off once and for all but my advice at the minute is avoid them all, they also seem to making the odds even worse during lockdown, effectively capitalizing on people's added misery. Scumbags and scammers.

Again like everyone else this is a shocking site. I am the fool for thinking it was good fun and getting carried away in these hard times and quickly lost a rediclious amount. But then they do their tactics of having you as a vip and offering you seats at place and venues. Making you feel comfortable and genuine.
Took months for me to realise but once my deposits were smaller and i actually started to win my account a month ago was just closed.

Forget vip. Trying to contact them they just pass you off saying now the reps are not available ans that it is a external compliance team that make decisions and thats it.

A week after making only a few small withdrawals the account was closed. They let slip that it was a message from the compliance team that it had to be closed. It was same time as everyone else.

They regularly gave me bonuses when i had pointed out game play issues ans not paying out on one occassion.

Clearly i was asking too many questions and all they do is say its different hosts for the games.

For the love if god everyone please stay clear. Even with deposit limits when your stuck you find a way and its all too easy to get drawn in.

There will be people suffering along side us all in these times. This needs ro go to a watchdog somehow. Before people harm themselves.

They are smart as they have in their terms ans conditions that they do not have to even give us a reason to close or suspend. But we never think we will get as deep as we do.

Just like everybody else says …I will not complain about winning or not ,these are random number generators programs. All will be ok with you until you win a little bit more ,in percentage ,compared with your deposits…They will start asking all sort of proofs,ID,money sources,etc .Again nothing to complain here as they are required to do so by the Money Laundering Laws .But ..once those provided if you are still net positive over a longer time they will close it with no warning and no possibility to talk with anybody.No matter what you do you will never be able to reopen for no reason.This is of course a disgraceful behaviour,my guess is not singular among this operators … Even if you have some VIP appointed representative.Mine was a fella named Finlay Kerr.Avoid at all costs

I have been doing some research into gaming and gambling sites for past six months…My Conclusions is if enough people agree with me that this site is a scam…. I am with all my evidence gathered going to bring a civil case against not only these but as a collective with others…These need to be investigated by the serious crime squad.. Any body who has any supporting statistics or footage etc etc etc please leave contact details…I am not a disgruntled punter far from it… These scam sites have blood on their hands with people committing suicide, losing house homes and family… I think the tenticles will spread out deep and wide…. Its time to put a stop to this….. Cheers…

Customer Service second to none. Had a few issues with withdrawing my funds however all of this was sorted very efficiently by customer service agent Beppe who went above and beyond to ensure that my issue was resolved. I also feel paddy power offers the best selection of sports and odds in the UK.

I had the same problem with paddy Power and got in touch with the gambling commission who put me on to another agency who emailed me saying they would look into the matter but they were solicitors saying they would charge me 150 pounds an hour so the gambling commission are a waste of time so I've contacted the newspapers and they said that they will look into it if we all do the same paddy power will get what they deserve p.s my account was suspended for no reason and they won't reply to the emails please contact the sun

Scamers Do Not open an account with paddy Power they suspended it then ignore your email scamming irish low lives

Probably one the worst online casino experience one ever experienced. You could loose and not winning anything for over 300-500 spins on slots. What kind of casino is that? The customer service is not friendly either. Spent thousands of euros on this site and one little problem they will not help you after reporting it and I ended up asked to terminate my account and delete my personal datas off their premise but they refused to do so. Highly NOT recommend to anyone. Stay away from these crook.

Most of the paddy power reviews posted online are fake. Find yourself on a site specialising in sign up bonuses? Guaranteed to be gleaming.

How they treat customers who win is disgusting.

Great site got few descent wins over the years never had a problem with them paying out. Normally its instant withdrawal straight into bank but not today not sure if it’s banks fault, now have to wait couple days for my winnings.

It’s the worst that i have seen in my life and i have play a lot.Lose 8000 pounds without any winings….they just eat eat and eat money…for real ,i encourege everyone to stop playing on them…i wonder if play 1 million its gonna be enought for them to give you any kind of winings?stoppp playing on them…there is a lot of gambling web sites and if you see paddy power just move forward dont stop on them…take care

Depositing doesn't even work. But compared to the withdrawal it wasn't bad. Damn this site took me hours to be able to deposit.

Reply

Another very greedy site another one that keeps on taking lost over 1000 pounds on this ended up blocking far 5 years cause never paid out avoid

Reply

The last few weeks have been awful, empty spins no bonuses. Maybe its luck but its very hard to enjoy the slots if your not getting anything back at all not even enough to play a little more than you've deposited. I used to really enjoy paddy as it seemed fair, like I said maybe I'm having a bad run but I'm slowly losing interest to see if it ever changes when theres other sites with the same games that seem to let you win every once in a while

Dirty thieving scumbags. Won 580.00 then closed my account! Absolute scumbags. I am taking this to the highest government body I can in this country. They should be banned and have there licence taken away. You thieving c***s

Reply

Not good at all stay away from this site.
40 playing 20p stake (yes 20p stake)
added all my penny wins up and it equated to about 10 back.
Absolutely no sign of a bonus.
many many empty spins.
Money gone in minutes and no gameplay at all.
Sadly alot of these sites are the same now because they are allowed to get away with it.
They are regulated apparently,have the G.C actually played the games on sites like Paddy Power ( not a chance because there is no way they would say that it's gis kind of play or total lack of is acceptable.
The gambling Commission are not fit for purpose.

Paddy Power close my account after so many years with them they asked me for prove or income prove address and P60 I have supply everything they asked me now Paddy-power watt my bank account statements Paddy Power after a payment from winnings of 40.000 pounds decided to close my account

Reply

Like everyone else has said. I put 20 in my account and accumulated a bit of money did a withdrawal of 60 then another of 40. There was no problems with this then I had 10p left in my account and I decided to get 2 tickets on fluffy bingo. I did not get a bingo but the bonus at the end of the game rewarded me 75. Super happy and chuffed. So I thought I will withdraw 65 of it and leave my self with 10. Tried to withdraw to find the page wasn't loading to instantly have an email from them say my account has been suspended and I need to prove my ID for my account to be reactivated. Followed the link that they provided on the email so I could upload my proof of ID. This required me to sign in so I put my details in only to find because my account is suspended I can not login to my account, meaning I can not supply them with proof of ID. I looked everywhere for support and it was very hard to come by. In the end I went onto the help page and and had to click help on something that wasnt relevant to me in order to bring a chat up, because if you click help with documents you have to sign in to start that chat. So I spoke to a lady of the evening on chat which took over a hour in total due to her very very slow response. For her to tell me she has all the proof but it needs to be assessed by someone else and she can not give me a time frame, by this point I was tired and accepted the answer. Waking up in the morning I felt very annoyed with the answers I had been given. So again i started a chat again, i asked how long will this process take, the agent replied they had recieved the documents this morning and that it should be done within 72 hours but can take longer. So I said that's fine, I then asked the question, so if i havent heard anything in 1 week should i get back in touch, she replied no you will get a email to confirm you're verification you do not need to contact us again. I said but you have stated it can take longer then 72 hours, this could mean it could take 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, you are not telling me a time frame. She then replied we have your documents and you will be emailed once they are verified and then ended the chat completely. I have read the reviews on here and thought surely it cant be that bad. But it is, its absolutely shocking. So the money that I had requested to withdraw before my account was suspended is now on 'hold' until my account is verified. Do you think my account will be verified LOL. I very much doubt it but we shall see. Avoid this site like the plauge!

Closed my account after trying to withdraw my cash.

played here every day since for about 8 months.
spend 500 to 1000 a month.
some things ive noticed
ive never won a game of bingo despite countless attemps
i think they are using the casino to recoup losses of paddy power shops being closed as ive never ever known it so bad, spin after spin after spin is a loss i spun 100 worth of 5 spins on fishing frenzy recently and didnt even get one win. not one.
the sports book has become so bad too with only table tennis and esports on offer
no matter what you back you will find the price goes in before placing bet happens everytime. 6-4 will become 5-4 3-1will become 12-5 every single time. i remain loyal and play everyday i have played everyday since opening account last year sometime. yet there is never no loyalty from them.
only reward you with power ups and a free bet of 10 once you hit targets.
will be on the move shortly as these obviously dont value customers

I signed up through an affiliate site and deposited 10. Paddy Power checked my details and opened the account and gave me free bonuses because of the affiliate offer and after I'd worked through my 10.

I happened to jointly win on Deal or No Deal and other games and my winnings came to 60ish.

I requested a withdrawal and next thing I know, my account was closed.

I spent 1.5 hours on chat, provided my ID documents and my case was escalated, but they have Unfair Terms… They can close accounts with NO reason!

I am a genuine person I did all that was asked and yet they feel that they can swerve on paying winnings. I can't think of a single reason as to why the Accounts Security Team decided to close my account.

I opened a case via Resolver and the replied saying that they were not changing their minds and were stopping any replies via Resolver! So basically, they shut you down.

They have picked on the wrong person because I am preparing to go to an Alternative Disputes Resolution and if necessary, the small claims court. They are imposing Unfair Terms in favour of themselves.

The customer service has been appalling and despite an online chat facility, they keep you waiting ages and it was like hitting a brick wall as I simply got nowhere.

I don't care about the account but they should 100% pay the winnings that were won fair and square.

Paddy Power: you are a disgrace.

If you do bother to reply, note that I used an alternative email address.

I received an email out of blue from unknown person demanding money stating they knew my secret internet password.
This was the password I used only for Paddy Power online
.I do not use this password for any other site. I contacted PP phone line and was put call centre (in Malta!) who said they only dealt with betting and that I needed to go to the online chat to contact security.
i contacted chat online and they said their security would contact me withing 2/3 days
It is now 5 days since I made the first contact and PP security have yet to contact me .
Now it seems clear that there is a hazard with online passwords on the PP site and their security systems are very lax in protecting customers

Has to be the worse site for slot games well unter 30rtp absolute day light robbery if your lucky enough to get a bonus which us rare you will ve lucky if the bonus oays over 20x

Is a video ( RTP Discrepancies at Coral & Gala) youtube his name is Degsy Degworth it show who casinos are using lower RTP and they show they using high rtp,bbut slots are rolling on low RTP
paddy power looks is doing they same

Reply

I self excluded from Paddy Power and all online casinos simply because I feel I was being robbed the RTP was nowhere near what they claim about 30% imo. They claim it’s a RNG but I think it is more sophisticated and cunning than tha, I think it lets you win gets you hooked then is rigged so you can spin let you play for a bit never get much ahead then you lose. Slots they have worked out are mesmerising and hypnotic so you get hooked.
The suspend your account and are not accountable to anyone when you have had a win so they don’t have to payout. The new wealth means test, which the uk gambling commission introduced are a invasion of your civil liberties when you want to withdraw NOT DEPOSIT!! is a diabolical law. They can look at all your private banking statements and then with no given criteria decide you can’t afford to gamble. I think people like me will get so fed up they will give up and that will be the end of these RIP of gambing casinos and good riddance to these thieves and also get rid of the useless UK gambling commission who are on the take from these gambling companies!!! They should be made to pay everyone they have fleeced out of their hard earned money!!

I would give a triple ZERO.
Deopisted money, verified my account with documents. Played 1 poker game, than my accoumt was blocked without any explanation, but remains blocked, can not be reopened due to "business decision".
I have requested back my deposited money, and they are not willing to send it back.
They can steal money, without explanation.

Absolute thieves. Win on their sportsbook but nothing but losses on their casino/slots. Over 150 deposit at small stakes & not a single bonus on any game. Plenty of teasers & plenty of streaks of 20+ SPINS with NO WIN. That is not random. My RTP % on some games is under 40%. Avoid these con artists. Never had such a streak of constant losing.

Worst crap ever from all crap . No helpline phone, customer service dont work, i deposit 200 pounds there, they accepted my documents, and then they suspended my account , contacting support email, only automatic answer. I will break windows in they branch. This scammers must pay .

My Account.. Was Fraudlant attacked by a US postage. Scam… 50 taken within.
I was online at the time so reported it as it happened…. That was 6 Weeks Ago.
Heard Nothing.. This Company is A Disgrace.

Minus 5…. The Government are allowing this and a fair few other sites to blatantly steal from us… They are using algorithms and psychology and rigged????? BLATANTLY rigged games… I asked customer service what the RTP figures were for several games I put over a thousand pound into and what my RTP figures were and was told oh you can find that out by looking through your history…Hang on!!! When every transaction is monitored by them they could tell you within a few minutes your figures for everything but I caught them with their pants down played thousands of pounds on various games at 10 a spin and never had 1 feature not even one….Heard the same story from many players loads of complaints to gambling commission from many people And nothing done….I advise everyone to contact MPS and bring a civil case as a group against them…We strategically go after them in a lawful manner and if that doesn't work… Well I haven't got long to live…..Watch this Space….I am in no way encouraging anybody to commit any acts of violence or similar but the paddy power will feel the power of the people!! I am happy to lead if people feel strongly about doing something…Unless I win a massive jackpot and I will share it equally amongst all group members to compensate some of our losses….These are not the only BIG NAMED SITE doing this by any means…But are up there with the worst….

Over many deposits I have found there slots percentage pay out is very poor and I never won anything worthwhile in many years of playing.
The game content is excellent but customer care is appalling.
No e mail service so only quick way to get a response is via the chat line.
I found chat line staff lacked empathy and it felt like they just wanted to get rid of you. Most questions put to them would get the same answer.
"Maybe take a break" or "Maybe you should close the account".
Don.t be blinded by the glib tv adverts these guys are on the take!

If there was a no star option this site would get it or even better be closed down! They give you a welcome bonus then when you win and withdraw they cloose your account down saying only its a buisness issue and nothing else and keep your winnings! then when you speak to them they are rude and unhelpful avoid at all costs im seeking legal advice.

Please please do not go anywhere near paddy power I am utterly shocked and appalled at this company I have been a loyal customer for so many years..never really had any big wins used to years ago but not anymore..I have complained so many times to them asking if it’s legal to just keep taking someone’s money like they are and giving nothing in return..over the last 2 months I have deposited over 3000 and can’t even get a small win 50+ that’s disgusting how can this company be allowed to do this..they should be finished with no longer allowed to run as a company

“If any of yous are thinking of opening an account with paddy power or are an excisting customers think twice!! If you are placing sports bets there is no direct line for customer service which is no good for people betting inplay or even on the same day but if you have a query you are told to contact live chat and the minimum call back time is 72 hours and 3/4 hours on live chat all you get is automated messages and people that haven’t a notion about the betting industry In other words if you have a query about a bet you are going to place in a weeks time you may start trying to contact now which is unrealistic! Make your own mind up!!👍

Looks like I've picked the wrong time to write a review…ive had nothing but food times using this website and through such good times I felt as though a review was necessary. Hope everyone else gets everything sorted but for the past few months I've had a real good time.

Glad to see all their shops closed and their share price tanking….. How any govt can issue licences to these individuals is shocking….. Hopefully the American authorities will think long and hard before providing licences to them or their co Co. Panies…. As can be witnessed by countless punters now these people should be shut….. Forever….. Hopefully more peoe will object to their licences in future and stop betting with them…. Hopefully the share price keeps dropping…. Stewart Kenny come back and bring ur joy and fun back into the business……

I played slots last night at the minimum wager of 10p for a few hours. I ended up losing almost 100 pounds. Where is the RTP???? I can only imagine how much people lose if they wager the default amount, Shocking.

Ok site to use but bad customer service.

My account got suspended because I needed to submit 3 forms of ID including a 'Screenshot showing the account holder's details as well as the e-mail address enlisted and the official Logo of PayPal.'.

This is where it felt like the customer service team started to work *AGAINST* me. They were unable to tell me which page that was, and told me my profile page showing my email address and the PayPal logo wasn't good enough. Still, they weren't able to clarify besides that they need to see my 'full credentials'.

I'm logged in and ready to go to any page, but they can't help me out at all. I even submitted an email from PayPal showing my name, email, AND the Paypal logo and they put me on hold for 15 minutes!

It's ridiculous and seems like they just want to keep you out of your account

Do not join Paddy Power, customer service extremely poor. I've been loyal to Paddy Power and have placed many bets, on one occasion there was a mismatch on game time for a football game and lost my bet. I asked for a refund and the agent did not care. After all the bets i placed they couldn't even care of my complaint. Even then my concern had to be through a web chat, they isnt a contact number you can call. William Hill so much better. So disappointed that the agent did not care
