This is a sports offer. Expect a qualifying bet with your own money, then free bets whose stake is not returned with winnings. Check the minimum odds, which markets are excluded and how many days you have to use the free bets.

We last checked this offer on 20 October 2026. Operators change offers without notice, so the terms on their own site always apply.

Safer gambling

What a GB licence obliges Paddy Power to give you

  • A deposit limit you can set when you open the account, lowered at once whenever you choose; raising it waits out a cooling-off period.
  • Time-outs that lock the account for a short spell, from 24 hours up to six weeks.
  • Self-exclusion for at least six months, and membership of GAMSTOP (opens in a new tab), the national scheme.
  • Age and identity checks before you can deposit or play, including free demos.
  • Reality checks and a record of your deposits, withdrawals and play.
  • No credit cards: gambling with a credit card is banned in Great Britain.

Set a deposit limit while you open the account, before you claim any offer. More on safer gambling

PPB Counterparty Services Limited also runs Betfair Sportsbook in our index. A self-exclusion with one brand of a licence holder should cover its other brands too; ask the operator if you are unsure.
