Paddy Power
Is a company putting its tongue firmly in its cheek and leaving it there important to you? If so then Paddy Power will be a site you’ll love. The Irish bookmaker has made the headlines more than once for being somewhat controversial in the past, whether that be by offering odds on the first species to become extinct because of an oil spill or by hiring Ryan Giggs’ brother in order to talk about loyalty being dead. As a company Paddy Power has never taken itself too serious, knowing the use of publicity in ensuring popularity.
When it comes to the markets and coverage offered, though, Paddy Power are deadly serious. They know that getting punters onto the site is one thing but once they’re there they need to be presented with things that they want to bet on. That’s why they offer plenty of different markets, specialising in football and horse racing as well as the likes of television and politics. If there’s a big event or sport tournament on then you can be certain that Paddy Power will be front and centre in terms of offering things to bet on.

About Paddy Power
Paddy Power have been at the top of the gambling industry for a number of years now. The company have been able to not only produce a fantastic sportsbook, but also a great casino, bingo hall and poker room for their punters. Whilst it’s not uncommon for companies to offer all four of these gambling variants, it is uncommon for a company to be successful in each section.
One of the backbones to their success has been their willingness to listen to their punters in order to improve. It may seem like an obvious notion, but you’d be surprised to se how many gambling sites turn a blind eye to feedback both good and bad.
As you’ll likely know already, Paddy Power are on of Ireland’s most successful exports. The company have been based in Dublin for decades now and have managed to bring that Irish charm into a pretty cutthroat industry very successfully. What’s been refreshing about seeing a company such as Paddy Power become so successful is that they have done it their way, often using the power of comedy to really break down barriers between themselves and their player base. You only need to look at their Twitter account – the most followers of any bookmaker – to see just how funny they can be!
Whilst still holding their head office in Dublin, Ireland, Paddy Power are licensed in the Isle of Man and have gained their regulations certificate with both the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision commission and the Gambling Commission for Great Britain.
The company have spent a huge amount of resources and time into their advertising campaigns and sports tournaments around the world. The infamous slogan ‘We hear you, Paddy’ will be ringing around at most major tournaments, but that’s been the charm of this increasingly popular company.
