The first thing you will notice when visit Paddy Power is website design with the colours of the Irish flag, green, orange and white. It is the top bookmaker from Ireland that has a good share of the UK market as well. Paddy Power Betfair plc is listed on both the Irish and London Stock Exchanges so that's all we gonna say about reliability.

In addition, they are also one of the rare bookmakers that have managed to acquire AAMS license and now can accept players from the Italy.
This bookmaker accepts bets in a large number of sports but as they are a bit UK centred the focus is on horse racing and football. It covers all major horse racing events in the United Kingdom and Ireland with different kinds of bets accepted such as win, each way, forecast, tricast and jockey's championships that cover the entire season. In football, bets are accepted on English, Irish, European and International events. The common bets for individual matches are win/draw/lose and correct score. The common bets for the complete tournaments are the winner, finalist and the player who scores the most goals in the tournament.

You can pick telephone numbers for dial bets in the next part of this review.
Paddy Power offers three free bets of £10 to new players, but only a small selection of countries is eligible for them. In order to use the free bet, the new player should first put his selection on the bet slip. If the free bet is applicable to this selected bet the drop down menu asking the player to select it will automatically appear on the bet slip. If the drop down menu does not appear then it cannot be used on the selected wager. After selecting the free bet the player should click the Bet Now button on the slip in order to place it.

Affiliate program	Paddy Partners is the name of their official affiliate program. In affiliate industry, their program is not so popular and some webmasters will even call it a rogue one. The reason for this is that don't pay a commission for single player across all products. Their revenue share is in the range of 25–40% and it depends on total net revenue you generated that month. Another bad thing is that cookie duration is below all standards and it is valid only for the time of the single session. In other words, if your referred player determines to close the browser and open it in a few minutes again to complete a registration, he won't be registered as your referral.
