PADDY POWER SUMMARY REVIEW

In recent years Irish bookmaker Paddy Power has emerged as the “bad boy” of the bookmaking world with their push-the-boundary campaigns ensuring that they are never far from the headlines. Innovation, security and money back specials are the trademarks of the Paddy Power brand. The company was formed in 1988 by the merger of three existing Irish bookmakers and has since emerged as one of the largest bookmakers in Ireland and the UK as well as Australia through its Sportsbet brand.

PADDY POWER FREE BETTING BONUS PROMOTIONS | MONEY SPECIALS

While Paddy Power has hit the back pages with their publicity stunts when it comes to customer retention that’s when they really pull out the stops. Regarded as the home of the money back special Paddy Power offers specials on games If a certain event happens in that game.

 

For example if Brazil were playing Spain then Paddy Power could offer a refund on all losing bets if Xabi Alonso scored. Recent money-back specials that have caught the imagination are money back if Andy Murray won Wimbledon in 2013 and Barcelona winning the Champions League 2012, both of which saw the bookmaker pay out a combined total of £3,900,000.

 

They also have a justice pay-out whereby if your bet has been the victim of an incorrect decision they will give you something back. Not content with those they also have a good record of paying out early on events and offer a 100% bonus on winning accumulators.
