What regulators have done about Paddy Power
| Date | Regulator | Against | Amount | What happened |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (exact) | UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) | PPB Entertainment Limited; PPB Counterparty Services Limited | GBP 2,000,000 | A section 116 licence review following Commission compliance assessments in April and May 2024 found failings in social responsibility controls at four licensees trading as Paddy Power and Betfair, breaching paragraphs 1, 4, 7, 8 and 11 of SRCP 3.4.3 on remote customer interaction; examples included a customer depositing £25,000 in 25 days before interaction and a customer staking £86,000 over 16 days with no manual account review. The £2,000,000 payment in lieu of a financial penalty is a single total across all four licensees, which also include the sister entities Betfair Casino Limited and TSE Malta LP. source |
| (exact) | UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) | PPB Counterparty Services Limited | GBP 490,000 | On 21 November 2021 the operator's app sent a promotional push notification offering enhanced odds on an English Premier League match to devices linked to accounts registered with GAMSTOP or self-excluded with the licensee. The Commission found this breached rules requiring all reasonable steps to prevent marketing material being sent to self-excluded customers and removal of their details from marketing databases within two days of a completed self-exclusion notification. source |
| (exact) | UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) | Paddy Power Betfair (PPB) sister | GBP 2,200,000 | The Commission found the operator failed to adequately interact with customers displaying signs of problem gambling and failed to adequately carry out anti-money laundering checks, with two affected customers using the betting exchange and three gambling via the operator's online presence and retail premises. The Commission's publication names the operator as 'Paddy Power Betfair (PPB)' without identifying individual licensed entities, and the conduct related principally to the group's betting exchange rather than the Paddy Power casino licensee. source |

Questions people ask about Paddy Power
Is Paddy Power licensed, and by which regulator?
Paddy Power is licensed by UK Gambling Commission. The licence was active when we checked the regulator’s own public register on 18 July 2026. You can check it yourself in the register entry we used.
Who owns Paddy Power?
Paddy Power is owned through PPB Entertainment Limited (operator); Flutter Entertainment plc (ultimate parent), listed on NYSE: FLUT. Ownership of these companies changes by takeover faster than most registers update, so we date it: this is the structure we recorded on 18 July 2026. Source: the filing we read.
Which other casinos share an owner with Paddy Power?
Paddy Power shares a corporate owner with 3 other casinos we have mapped: Betfair, FanDuel, Sky Bet. This matters more than a trivia answer: a regulator’s finding against one brand in a group tells you something about the company running all of them, and a self-exclusion you set at one brand does not automatically stop at that brand.
Has Paddy Power been fined by a gambling regulator?
Yes. We have recorded 3 published enforcement actions against Paddy Power or the company it operates under. The most recent was by UK Gambling Commission on 17 December 2025, a GBP 2,000,000 penalty. Read the regulator’s published decision. Every action we hold is listed with its date, amount and source further up this page.
How long does a withdrawal from Paddy Power actually take?
The fastest route we recorded is Rapid Transfer at 1 hour. The slowest is Bank Transfer at 5 business days. These are end-to-end times: from requesting the money to it being spendable, including the operator’s own review window. They are not the “instant” figure a cashier screen shows, which times only the last step. Source: the operator’s published terms.
