Review of Paddy Power Casino
Paddy Power Casino is a full service online gambling service based in Dublin, Ireland, with a casino that is licensed and regulated by the Alderney Gaming Control Commission. The Alderney license is significant as it governs its members with some of the most stringent regulations in the world today. Paddy Power offers numerous betting opportunities, with both download and instant play casinos, a live casino, sports betting, bingo, poker, skill games and more.
Paddy Power's sense of humour
Paddy Power is Ireland's largest bookmaker, and in recent years has become one of the largest and most established online gaming destinations in Europe. It has something of a reputation for being more than a little cheeky in the mainstream media. This is after all the same site that famously took bets on how many days into his first term US President Obama would be assassinated (they later retracted this offer), and when the credit crunch turned into a recession, they took bets on which would be the next major international airline to go belly up. Obviously they are not without a sense of humour, although it appears to be a little on the dark side!
More than just a casino
There is a huge selection of games available at Paddy Power. You will not often come across a site with such a completist attitude to online gaming. Almost every variation and taste is catered for. There are more than 200 different online casino games available at the site, organised by the following categories: Slots, Roulette, Blackjack, Table Games, Video Poker, Leisure and MegaJackpots. The main download casino software is supplied by Playtech, which means you have access to all the latest DC Comics jackpot slots like the Batman and the Joker Jewels, Man of Steel, Batman vs Superman and more. In addition, Paddy Power belongs to the Playtech progressive jackpots network, where jackpots are pooled across several casinos in order to build quickly to large amounts.
There is also a Live Casino where you can play Blackjack, Roulette and Baccarat with live dealers, and an additional "Games" section of the site which is basically an instant play casino with games hand picked from various manufacturers, including Monopoly, Deal or No Deal, and The X Factor.
If you're a poker fan, there's a genuine poker room filled with real competitors where you'll be able to play Texas Hold'em and Omaha, among other poker variants. You'll find heads up play here, as well as tournaments and ring games. And then there's the betting side of things. You can place bets on most major sporting events, both local and international, as well as on news and celebrity, like who'll win the most Oscars. You can also wager on the stock market, which you might find conceptually odd - it's a bit like betting on gambling in my opinion!
Support and banking
Paddy Power offers support round the clock via a dedicated call centre. Customer support representatives can be contacted via live text chat, email, phone, or plain old snail mail. The website lists the current and average support waiting times which can come in handy if you want to know which is the quickest way of contacting them. For the record when I looked, the current wait times were 37 seconds on live chat, and only 19 seconds on the telephone.
There are plenty of methods that may be used to move your money in and out of Paddy Power. Major credit cards, direct bank transfers, debit cards, e-wallets including Paypal, Neteller and Moneybookers, and even cash deposit or pickup from any of Paddy Power's land betting shops in England, Scotland or Ireland. Withdrawals are generally completed within 48 hours in our experience.
Conclusion
Paddy Power is a European "super-brand" with a stellar reputation, although players from outside the UK and Ireland may find the site a little too UK-centric for their tastes (and indeed a large number of non UK countries are not allowed to play at their casino). However it is one of the best places to play Playtech powered casino games, and the instant play and live casino sections of the site seem to have almost everyone covered. If you are able to play there, we highly recommend that you give them a try.
Comments
I am active in this casino and I can recommend it to any problems with payments and frequent bonuses and free spins for activity I recommend
Paddy Power is one of the biggest gambling websites on the market. However its more a website for people from UK because a lot of bonuses are restricted to my country. So this is a reason why i am not a very frequent depositor there.
But in general i really like them. They have excellent sportsbooks with great odds and wide selection of sport events. Also they have two online casinos and one live casino. And of course its worth to mention and poker room and bingo. So there are some action for every's taste.
Also a website is simple, no of unnecessary pompastics. Everything is clear and easy to find. And i have made few withdrawals there and didnt have problems at all. I always got my money next day to my electronic wallet.

Paddy Power casino is reliable and quite old casino site. I registered here a long time ago. The greater part of time I was using Paddy Power for sports bets. It always offered great sports bets supply and higher odds. If you are from UK or Irelend you can receive big welcome bonus of 500% if you deposit 10€ you will receive 60€, playthrough for this bonus is 35x and maximum cashout is 500€, Paddy power can offer big variety of different slots, such as Netent, Micrograming and other popular providers. You can find a lot options in live table games. Support is friendly and works exhaustively, payouts fast.

Paddy power is some list of my favorite in the past. but now they are gone. since june 2016 their main site has been blocked by internet providers in my country. since then they forbid us to play with them because the use of VPN is not allowed. at least good experience ever given to us. this casino is highly recommended

Paddy Power offers users bonuses from the moment the register and start playing. Bonuses are generous, and focus on players with high stakes. There are also monthly loyalty programs, and fantastic - the VIP Club.
Every deposit you make at Paddy Power Casino, improve your status and you will slowly reach the VIP levels, from 1 to 5 stars. The most valuable VIP level is "five stars". Furthermore, every time you play automatically earn Comp Points that can also help in advancing to the highest VIP level.

Thanks for the feedback horsetack. That is just weird. I have played at plenty of casinos that ask you to supply ID immediately after signing up so that you don't have to wait later on when you withdraw. But I've never had one that prevented me from playing or stopped me in the middle of a session like that.

Hi, first post on here, really great site and so useful! I checked out the Paddy Power site today and having read the T's & C's I signed up and received my free €5 Euro as promised and duly spun it away on their seasonal Easter game. I then deposited some Euros and I received my bonus for an equal amount. I then tried a few different games and ended up on Ghost Rider, I was having a decent bit of luck and had just finished the bonus feature when suddenly my game stopped and a screen appeared saying, "Your account has been frozen, contact customer services for more details". I contacted them immediately only to be told I could play no more until I had furnished them with copies of my passport, utility bills etc., now I fully understand that this is a legal requirement but let's get real, in the middle of a session whilst I'm winning?? Other casinos require the same but they don't freeze your account after 45 minutes!! Most will set a deadline for the production of the required documentation and if you fail to provide it then they block you and understandably so. The attitude of Paddy Power staff was unapologetic, although to their credit they did after much conversation with me, refund my deposit. However, they didn't take it well and promptly deleted my account. As I've said, I understand the legal requirements but there is surely a better way to do it? This is my second bad experience this week 😢

In past this guys accept players from Belarus, but some time ago i got email that no longer any of their services for me 😢 But so far this was my favorite sportsbook place, because withdrawals was quite fast even on my VISA card. Usually it is 4-5 days, but somehow from paddy power i got my money on second day of waiting, this is was really pleasure experinece. Also i was young gambler, so it was nice to get paid from casino without any troubles. Recommend this place to everyone, and a bit greedy that i can't use this website anymore.

PeDrone’s Paddy Power Casino Review
Casino Software
This online casino using games created by Playtech, Evolution Gaming, Virtue Fusion and OpenBet. It is operated by Paddy Power Plc. – another single casino-to-operator relationship. Personally, the games variety is not interesting enough for me, as well as the bonuses are a bit restricted, so there are some negatives out here.
Welcome bonus
Here comes negatives – Paddy Power promises 5 credits no deposit for signup, but implicitly limited only for UK and Ireland, very small fonted, I registered and did not receive anything and I got disappointed by it. I claimed only 100% match deposit bonus in result.
Deposits and withdrawals
There are many deposit and withdrawal options, I used Neteller this time and once also VISA card to deposit, it was ok – even without any fee.
This time, I succeeded with withdrawal, I took off 280 credits (via Skrill) – verification took 1 day and cashout ~2, that is quite good – average withdrawal time.
Customer support
Live chat support service is available. Live support representatives are ready to help 24/7, I rate this service fine, e-mails are answered in cca. 2 hours. My personal communication with support was very short, but the representative was very polite.
Gameplay
I played few games here, but these were most paidful:
Beach Life – 0.50 to 2.50/spin, earned also more than 100 credits on one spin.
Hot Gems – the same spin bet, earned less but more often.
Summary
I recommend the casino, mainly for UK/Ireland customers – otherwise you cannot claim no deposit bonus, and without it the promotions offered variety is quite poor.

Paddy power casino is very reputable place, that is awesome promoting for UK markets, this is very popular casino there, i even read somewhere that this casino have something offline in UK, of course this is mean very high reputation, i trust such casinos, but let me start from pluses for this casino.
+ Software. There is not only PT games available, but at this casino i played only playtech slots, because did not find any others that i know. Everything working fine. Also it is possible to download playtech application.
+ Customer support. Something very nice. When live chat was offline, i decide to send email, and get reply within 1 hour or even a bit less, very nice.
+ Withdrawals. My few withdrawals was paid within 12 hours, KYC took also about same amount, with such things at paddy power casino everything is nice.
+ Bonuses and promotions. There is always lot of bonuses and promotions for everything at paddy power. For sportsbook, for poker, for casino, even for live casino there is some bonuses and promotions. Reload bonuses is decent and nice.
Final mark.
This is very good online casino, can be one of the best, if appear some more interesting games. Microgaming or net entertainment for example.

This casino is another one of my not much favourite group - "promise bonus, even if only for UK, they will come to us anyway". That's also my case 🙂 I found this Playtech software powered casino somewhere while wandering on the web and various casino bonuses, and immediately enjoyed it, because I was looking for a no deposit bonus, and most of them were already used that time 😉
So I registered and not even wondered about any inconveniences, but the bonus did not want to come - until I read the terms.. Then I used a bit of bad language and deposited something, although I did not want to deposit on Playtech that time (here you can see, that their tactics works 😀.
Before I deposited, I contacted support, that was - the same way like another else, very polite and using words "unfortunately" and "inconvenience" explained me, why am I not eligible for that bonus. Anyway, support rating is ... not 5/5 because for 5 he would must give me complimentary 5$ from his own pocket 😀 but 4/5 is the right... and due to I have not withdrawed anything, the casino also cannot get 5/5 rating, so 4 stars are the final result, for me.
But for that fake bonus ... no, I let them take 4. 🙂

Paddy power online casino it is another one place with playtech slots and also that allowed to download software on personal computer. This casino in my eyes was one of the best place to use playtech slots because this place has very decent and also very famous reputation and i like it. I am try live chat many times in different ocassions and live chat always was online and customer support agents was always very kind to me and very nice. I am think support that i had at this casino is probably one of the best i ever experience and i miss about such support only few other casinos this days can offer such great service. I am think that it is probably most safest online casino i ever played because i even saw promotion of this casino at tv and i think this mean that casino really can be trusted. All my payout to skrill was paid in no time with only few hours of waiting and also casino usually send me good bonuses on my emails. Comp points is good here and i really enjoyed this casino a lot in past i will play this casino of course if it will be possible to players from bulgaria.

Some silly rules at - ''Jacks or Better" Video poker game.
-"Note: You can only use Gamble option 4 times per session."
What is this scam rule?
Paddy Power are excellent. There is not much more to say other than they pay fast and dont give you the run around when you win.
They currently have a £5 free chip for new players from the UK or Ireland only. Is it worth going for? Well its free, and they are a good casino, so why not?
Always play it safe! Consult our list of rogue casinos and warnings before depositing at a new casino.

Does the paddy power free bet apply to the casino too - and if so, how much is it for, and is it generally worth going for?
