For full legal compliance, Paddy Power strive to ensure all payment methods used on site belong to the account holder. Outlined below are the requirements for each payment method:

Debit and Credit Card

Please ensure that you use a card registered in your own name. Please also ensure we hold your correct billing address for the registered card. Unfortunately, any discrepancy in the name or address could lead to the suspension of your account.

Business cards

Unfortunately Paddy Power cannot accept business cards. This policy applies for both personal and company cards. If it comes to our attention that you have used a business card, Paddy Power reserves the right to void any bets placed. Please ensure that all cards used are in your own name only.

PayPal

The PayPal account that is registered on your Paddy Power account must be in your name. If it's not, your account may be closed, open bets voided and the available funds returned to the PayPal account.

Neteller

The Neteller account that is registered on your Paddy Power account must be in your name. If it's not, your account may be closed, open bets voided and the available funds returned to the Neteller account.

Moneybookers

Bank Transfer

For Security reasons before you make your first Bank Transfer you must provide us with a copy of your bank statement along with a form of Photo ID. You only have to provide these details once.

Cash

You can deposit cash in any of our shops across Ireland and the UK - just bring your cash to the desk and quote your username or account number to the cashier. They will process your deposit and the funds will be in your account straight away. You can withdraw cash from your Paddy Power account in any of our shops in Ireland, Northern Ireland, England and Scotland. To do this you will need a Paddy Power cash card which will also require you to display photo identification. For more details on cash cards see here.

If we cannot verify your age with PaySafe, we will have to request a copy of official documentation from you (Passport,. Driving Licence or Government Issued card).

Are my winnings safe with Paddy Power?

Sufficient funds are retained by Paddy Power in segregated accounts held with highly-rated banks, separate from our operating accounts, to ensure that there is always enough money for customers to withdraw from their Paddy Power balances - even in the highly unlikely event of the insolvency of the company. These accounts are audited independently by internal and external audit teams, and balances are monitored regularly by the relevant regulatory authorities
