How Does Paddy Power's Beat The Drop Work?

In the past few years, we have seen a huge upsurge in bookmakers hosting prediction games, and Beat The Drop is one of the earlier examples. A hugely popular game run by Paddy Power (also features on Betfair), contestants have a daily chance to win a huge prize.

For answering 15 questions correctly in a million-pound drop-style game, players can win up to £1,000 - though it's not likely that you will win the prize every day, as questions normally take a few days to be completed.

Predictions can be made on a wide range of sports, including football, horse racing and the NBA, just to name a few, and if you do not like a question posed, you can always skip it and leave your pot for a later question.

Furthermore, customers can also 'Pay to Play', meaning there are fewer questions to answer and the prize pot may be larger. Also, the bookmaker sometimes increases the prize money during special events, such as Cheltenham.

    Head over to Paddy Power

    You will need to head to either the Paddy Power app or website to play the game and log in, as there is no separate website available for the game, like there is for other similar games, like Sky's Super Six.

Paddy Power's Beat The Drop FAQs

Beat The Drop is a free-to-play (and more recently, paid) game hosted by Paddy Power, where players must answer 15 questions correctly for a prize of up to £1,000. The game is open on a daily basis.

Paddy Power's Beat The Drop can be played online or via the app. In our experience, we normally prefer to use the app, just as it is slightly more convenient.

Every day, you will be given a new chance to play the game (provided you are not currently in the middle of a round), and then customers will be given a maximum of 15 questions to say yes or no to in a million-pound drop style.

Beat The Drop is hosted daily, and you will be asked 15 questions throughout the course of your round.

Paddy Power sometimes hosts boosted rounds of the game, which can see the prize money hit £5,000 commonly. However, the standard game has a prize package of £1,000 every day.

There is not really a 'best' strategy to play the game, and it depends, like everything, on how you want to play. Some customers will go all in on 5-7 questions and then split the purse from there to earn a decent amount of money, whilst others will go all in for all 15 questions. It is completely up to you.
