What is happening?
As of 27th March, we discontinued the withdrawal function to CashCard+ cards. This means you can no longer withdraw any funds from your Paddy Power account balance to your CashCard+card.
From 31st December 2025 we will be discontinuing the use of CashCard+ cards completely. If you have funds on your Paddy Power Cash Card+ you can continue to spend these for online and in-store purchases anywhere that Mastercard is accepted up to the point your funds reach zero. When the card reaches zero then you should destroy it as it is no longer a viable card.
You can spend funds on your Card up to 31st December 2025. After that date you will no longer be able to spend funds on your Card.
Why is this happening?
We are taking the business decision to discontinue the use of CashCard+ cards.
What are the alternatives to using a CashCard+?
We have a variety of different withdrawal methods you can use to get your money quickly and easily! For example, you can take advantage of instant withdrawals via bank transfers. These are powered by Open Banking and easier than traditional bank transfers and more secure than card payments! Your funds can settle in seconds, and you can do this via the app. You can find more information on this here: INSTANT BANK TRANSFERS
We have further information here on any other payment method FAQ: Payment Methods FAQs
We also will continue to offer the Paddy Power PlayCard which can be used to deposit or withdraw in cash from our retail stores.
