Appearance and Betting Markets

Navigating the website is very simple, and we will focus on the sports section in this review. The home page has its iconic green around the outside. White middle with grey writing for the teams.

At first glance, the team’s writing is a tiny bit too small. The in your face lime green odds buttons are hard to miss though.

Being one of the biggest online bookies, it is no surprise that they have an abundance of markets to choose from.  A wide variety of sports varying from Football to Table Tennis.

If you want to see the full sports list, the left-hand side of the page has an “A-Z Betting” tab.

To sum up, Paddy Power has a huge selection of sports and betting markets.

After clicking on the “Football” tab in the left menu section. You will be presented with “Popular” football games for the coming days.

You can also head to the “tournaments” section for the rest of the matches available.

Navigating is no problem but it could be made easier. Once you click on your desired league, there is no option to click back and find a game from another league.

All in all Paddy Power looks the part with a functional and good looking website. It could do with a few tweaks, maybe making the writing a slight bit bigger. Also making the transition from leagues less painful.

Live Betting and Streaming

Of course, Paddy Power has an extensive list of sports for live betting.

As an example, we look at the in-play section for football. To start Paddy Power have an infographic available for all games we have looked at. As well as having the standard pitch infographic, there are more in-depth stats to the right.

Overall they have an impressive collection of information. Also in leagues and markets that are more niche than others. The market odds are easy to locate for quick and decisive live betting decisions.

Live streaming is an extremely useful feature for betting. You can monitor the games progress instead of an arrow moving side to side on an infographic. Paddy Power has a free live streaming service for several sports, as long as you’re signed into your account.

Paddy Power Betting App

Paddy Power has two great options in its app and mobile site. Both are the same in design but if you can we recommend downloading the app.

This can save you time by activating the auto-login option or using your thumb or Face ID.

The app lives up to the hype in its advert as it has fast load times, user-friendly navigation, and utilises the menu and quick links for quick bet selection.

To stream live sports for free on the Paddy Power app and the mobile site you will need to log in and have a positive balance or have placed a bet in the last 24 hours. You can currently stream select football, tennis, and golf events.

Overall, we are impressed by how all three platforms work so well. Depending on your situation you can use a solid betting app, mobile site or desktop site, or transfer between them painlessly.

Customer Service

As you are on the home page of Paddy Power, the help centre is very easy to find. Just next to the PP logo in the top left there is a button called help.

Simply press this and you will be taken to the help centre. There you will find several methods to help you with any issues or queries.

• FAQ takes up the majority of this page with the top 5 FAQ for sports at the top.
• Live chat is recommended for resolving most customer related issues.
• A phone number that is active 24 hours a day 7 days a week
• @AskPaddyPower Twitter account for customer service

All in all, PP has a very good customer service help centre. It is easy to find and offers several different ways to resolve your issue.

Paddy Power Conclusion

In conclusion, PP offers an outstanding service to its customers. From the huge range of sports, betting markets both pre-match and in-play, and live streaming features.

PP has a decent reward scheme, a great welcome bonus, and plenty of unique and innovative promotions.

It is easy to recommend PP as a solid choice for anyone looking for a new bookmaker. On top of all the features, they offer excellent customer service with several methods of contacting.

We feel like the website could improve on minor issues, some of the text being too small. And a back button to transfer smoothly between different leagues whilst selecting bets.

For the most part, we are impressed with PP, their humour based marketing makes it a brand to love.
