Paddy Power casino: licence and owner

Who runs Paddy Power casino?

The casino and bingo side of Paddy Power is licensed to PPB Entertainment Limited, which holds account 39426 on the Gambling Commission register (opens in a new tab). That company lists its head office in St Julian’s, Malta, and its casino and bingo licences have been in place since November 2014. If you play Paddy Power's slots, live tables or bingo, PPB Entertainment is the licensed business you're dealing with.

Paddy Power began as an Irish bookmaker in 1988 and is best known for sports betting, but the brand's online account also includes games, live casino, bingo and poker. It is owned by Flutter Entertainment, one of the largest gambling groups in the world.

Latest Casinos has no commercial relationship with Paddy Power. We don't score it, link to it or describe its welcome offer. The details below come from the register and the Commission's announcements.

Paddy Power's UK register accounts explained

Large betting groups often split their licences across several companies. Searching the register for PPB returns more than one account, which can be confusing. These are the PPB accounts on record:

For casino players, account 39426 is the one to check. The others belong to the same group and cover other parts of the business. Our guides to the licence holder and reading a casino footer explain how to match a product to the right company.

Paddy Power owner Flutter and its sister brands

Paddy Power merged with Betfair in 2016 to form Paddy Power Betfair, which renamed itself Flutter Entertainment in 2019. Flutter has since added Sky Betting & Gaming and PokerStars to its stable. Those brands are sisters in the group sense, but most sit on different licence-holding companies, so check each one's register entry separately.

Group membership doesn't merge your accounts, but it can affect offer eligibility and self-exclusion, depending on each brand's terms. Our casino sister sites guide explains the difference between a shared licence and a shared parent.

Paddy Power history: from 1988 to the 2026 rules

The brand's roots in betting explain why its casino sits inside a sportsbook-first account. That's also why the 2026 promotion rules are especially relevant to it, as explained below. The dated UK casino timeline has the full list of rule changes over the same period.

The December 2025 Paddy Power settlement

On 17 December 2025 the Gambling Commission announced that Paddy Power Betfair would pay £2 million (opens in a new tab) as part of a settlement over customer-interaction failures. Four companies were named: PPB Entertainment Limited, PPB Counterparty Services Limited, Betfair Casino Limited and TSE Malta LP. The brands involved were Paddy Power and Betfair.

The Commission found that the operator's systems weren't sensitive enough to harm indicators. Its examples included a customer who deposited £12,000 over 15 days before a review, one who deposited £25,000 in 25 days before any interaction, one who lost £12,300 in five weeks before being contacted, and a session of 7 hours 46 minutes with more than 300 bets totalling £20,000 that was flagged only after a loss trigger.

In plain terms, the rules expect an operator to notice rising spend or very long sessions early and to step in, not wait for a fixed loss figure. The settlement reflects the systems at that time. Our pages on customer interaction rules and Gambling Commission fines explain how these cases work.

Paddy Power casino inside a betting account: the 2026 rules

When one account holds both your bets and your casino play, a few rules shape how promotions and marketing reach you:

• No cross-product offers since 19 January 2026. A promotion can't require a sports bet to unlock casino spins or the reverse. See the mixed-product promotions ban.
• Separate marketing consent since 1 May 2025. You can say yes to betting emails and no to casino messages, channel by channel. Our marketing consent rules page explains how.
• 10x wagering cap. A £10 casino bonus can need no more than £100 of casino play.
• Slot stake limits. £5 per spin for adults 25 and over, £2 for 18–24s, on every slot in the games and casino sections.

Worked example. Say you placed a £10 bet and, separately, received a £10 casino bonus with 10x wagering. The bet does nothing towards the bonus. You'd need £100 of eligible casino stakes, for instance 200 spins at 50p, before bonus winnings could be withdrawn. Our how to calculate wagering guide shows the method.

How to check Paddy Power's casino licence

1. Open the casino or games section and scroll to the footer for the licence statement.
2. Search the Commission's public register for account 39426.
3. Check the name reads PPB Entertainment Limited and the status is Active.
4. Confirm remote casino and bingo are among the listed activities.
5. Read the regulatory actions tab for the 2025 settlement and any other entries.
6. Note the date you checked.

Safer gambling and complaints at Paddy Power

PPB Entertainment must offer deposit limits, time-outs, reality checks and self-exclusion, and take part in GAMSTOP (opens in a new tab). Limits usually apply to the whole account, so a deposit limit set for betting also restricts what you can move into the casino; confirm in the account's safer gambling settings. For confidential support, call the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133, free and open 24/7.

Complaints go to Paddy Power first, through its published process. If it isn't resolved within eight weeks, the operator must refer you to an approved ADR provider at no cost to you. Our complaints guide explains what to include.
