Background
Paddy Power have been established since 1988 and are currently Ireland’s largest bookmaker, not to mention one of the largest players in the UK. They are fast gaining a reputation for adding real fun to placing a bet, not to mention value with their notoriously early pay-outs to customers and the cashback specials that you may have seen advertised on television.
Although widely respected as a bookmaker, they have something of a controversial opinion within the betting industry due to a number of close-to-the-bone marketing campaigns and their tendency to pay out on outcomes before an event has even been settled. However, this has seen them grow in popularity and it’s refreshing to see a bookmaker stand out from the crowd.
Odds and Markets
Paddy Power’s odds are generally very good, especially when it comes to golf betting. These guys are unafraid of taking a position on a big name player, with Tiger Woods, Lee Westwood and Luke Donald all within their firing line. Their money-back offers should also be applauded, especially as they always provide realistic outcomes (such as cashback if Tiger Woods wins The Open).
They also offer a number of enhanced odds betting opportunities and frequently have 'Power Play' bets on multiples. Examples of this will come in major golf tournaments and will typically be along the lines of bonus accumulator odds for Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Lee Westwood to win their three balls at the Masters.
Website
The Paddy Power website is quick, clean and easy-to-use. They have one of the easiest sign-up processes in the industry and finding your bet is a pretty straightforward process. The Irish firm provide humorous editorial to accompany many of their homepage-featured markets, while the theme continues with their entertaining customer emails. However, there’s some serious attention to detail when it comes to the structure of the website, which sees the sports listed in A-Z order in the left-hand menu, with some sports provided in Quick Links above this.
Live betting has a section of its own which can be accessed from the left-hand menu or the live matches that are advertised in the middle of the homepage. It’s a pretty decent offering which highlights odds in red when they are shortening and odds in blue when a team or player is on the drift. This can help customers to decide when to back a player in-play and is also a good indicator of whether or not a putt has been holed, with the odds often changing before even the scoreboard does!
Customer Service
The customer service at Paddy Power is excellent and gets full marks. They are totally transparent by illustrating their support response times on the site and have a 15 second response time for telephone, a 21 second response time for live chat and 36 minutes is the average time that the Irish firm take to respond to your query. Queries are always handled efficiently and the staff there are well-mannered and polite.
