General Information The Irish bookmaker Paddy Power was founded with the merger of three already established bookmakers (Kenny O’Reilly Bookmakers, P. Corcoran Bookmakers and most of the bookmakers belonging to the Richard Power Group) in 1988. Paddy Power launched their website in 2000 and has since been listed on the Irish and London stock exchanges. Paddy Power also operates numerous licensed betting shops throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland.
The online sports betting offer is provided by Paddy Power Isle of Man Ltd., a subsidiary of Paddy Power Plc. As the name implies, Paddy Power Isle of Man Ltd. is licensed on the Isle of Man. Bets Offered At Paddy Power, customers can bet on a very large selection of sports, ranging from soccer (football), tennis, motorsports, and winter sports to American football, hockey, basketball and rugby and golf, boxing, handball and volleyball. Even bets on the winners of various poker and futsal (a type of indoor football) events are offered at Paddy Power. Wagers on horse and dog races are always welcome as well. Being one of Ireland’s most successful bookmakers, Paddy Power also accepts bets on traditional Irish sports such as Gaelic football and hurling.
In the "Novelty Bets" section, bettors will find an extensive choice of bets from the world of entertainment and politics, such as the winners of various awards or even celebrity weddings.
