- Any bets taken on markets that Paddy Power is not offering betting on will be void.
- Bets are not accepted in shops on Financial Betting and any bets taken in error will be void.
- Bets on certain Betting-in-Running markets are not accepted in shops. We reserve the right to void or settle at the correct price (and handicap and point values where applicable) any bets taken in error on these markets.
- If, at the time a bet is taken, the market is suspended (i.e. betting was not available on the market), Paddy Power reserves the right to void the bet or settle the bet at the next available price (and handicap and point values where applicable).
- Where the outcome of a selection can be considered to impact, be related to or dependent on another, these selections cannot be combined in multiple bets. If bets on related selections are accepted in error, such bets will be settled at a retrospective price (and handicap and point values where applicable) determined by Paddy Power.
Greyhound Bets:
- Paddy Power does not accept bets on any greyhound races in Ireland except for racing at Shelbourne Park and other selected races where Paddy Power specifically advertises betting. Any bets taken in error will be void.
- For races in Shelbourne Park (that are not televised live), we may accept bets up to 5 minutes before the scheduled race time. Any bet accepted less than 5 minutes before the scheduled race time will be void (unless the race is televised live). Where the race is televised live, bets will be accepted up to the off of the race as is standard.
- Greyhound Racing favourite bets are only accepted on first favourites. Greyhound Racing bets on second or other favourites will be void.
- Forecast & Tricast:
- Paddy Power accepts forecast singles, doubles and trebles. Forecasts involving four-folds and upwards will only be accepted as part of a Paddy Power speciality betting slip incorporating forecast four-folds etc. Any forecast accumulators accepted in error, will be settled as forecast trebles, with the stake involved being equally split over the number of trebles available.
- Tricast bets, in which selections must finish first, second and third in the correct order in specified races are accepted in single bets only. Stakes for any tricast double, treble, etc accepted in error will be divided equally to cover each tricast race in tricast singles only.
- Horse and Greyhound (BAGS/BEGS) Tricasts are only accepted on races for which a Computer Tricast dividend is declared, or on certain major events as displayed in our offices. Any Tricast bets accepted in error for races where no Tricast dividend is declared will be settled as computerised straight forecasts on the selections nominated to finish first and second, with the selection for third place discounted.
Tote Returns:
- Bets are not accepted for Irish Tote returns, except Placepots. Unless otherwise advertised, where other bets on Irish Tote returns are accepted in error, they will be settled at as SP win/place bets respectively.
- Bets are not accepted for UK Tote returns, except Placepots, Quadpots and Jackpots. Unless otherwise advertised, where other bets on UK Tote returns are accepted in error, they will be settled at as SP win/place bets respectively.
- Greyhound Racing bets at Tote returns are not accepted and where taken in error will be settled at SP, with the provision that if there is no SP the bet will be void, unless a price has been taken.
- Bets at Tote Forecast returns are not accepted, for either horses or greyhounds and if accepted in error, they will be settled at CSF or BAGS/BEGS returns.
Invalid Instruction:
- Selected shops take Any-To-Come & Conditional bets. This will be clearly advertised in the shop. If the shop does not accept these bets, but these bets are accepted in error, they will be settled on the first instruction/bet only, with all further instructions void.
- Selected shops take Equally Divided Each-Way bets. This will be clearly advertised in the shop. If the shop does not accept these bets, but these bets are accepted in error they will be settled as standard accumulator bets.
- ‘Bar’ price instructions or ‘First Show’ price instructions are not be accepted and any such bets taken in error will be settled at SP.
Invalid Stake:
- The minimum stake unit accepted for bets at Tote returns is as following: Jackpot 50c/50p, Placepot/Quadpot 10c/10p. If a wager is accepted for less than the above units, the bet will stand at the amount paid.
Invalid Number of Selections:
- Occasionally, bets will only be accepted with a minimum number of selections (e.g. trebles and upwards). Where this is the case and a bet taken in error with less than the minimum number of selections, Paddy Power reserves the right to void the bet.
- Occasionally, bets will only be accepted as single bets (i.e. no multiples will be allowed). Where this is the case and a non-single bet is taken in error, the stake will be equally divided across the legs of the bet and settled as a number of single bets.
