Paddy Power slots

Paddy Power slots: the licence behind the games

Paddy Power is best known as a bookmaker, but its slots, casino and bingo games are licensed separately. The UK Gambling Commission account that covers them is 39426, held by PPB Entertainment Limited, whose head office is at Spinola Terraces in St Julian’s, Malta. That account carries two licences, remote casino and remote bingo, both active since 1 November 2014.

Paddy Power’s sports betting runs through other PPB companies. So when you play a slot, the business answerable to the regulator for that game is PPB Entertainment, even though you use the same Paddy Power login. We are not partnered with Paddy Power and don’t rate it.

Paddy Power and Betfair: one casino licensee, two brands

The register lists just two domains on account 39426: paddypower.com and betfair.com. The two brands merged in a deal completed on 2 February 2016, and their casino products have sat with the same licensee ever since. Our Betfair slots profile covers the other half of the pair.

Splitting licences across several companies is normal for large groups. For a player, the useful point is that each product’s rules and complaints are handled by the licensee named for that product.

From Irish bookmaker to Flutter brand

Today Paddy Power belongs to Flutter Entertainment, the group that also owns Betfair, PokerStars and Sky Betting & Gaming. Our profile of PokerStars Casino covers another Flutter brand with a separate licensee.

The December 2025 settlement and customer interaction rules

The register lists one action against PPB Entertainment Limited. Published on 17 December 2025, it was a regulatory settlement in which four licensees named in the case paid a total of £2,000,000 in lieu of a financial penalty, along with a public statement and the Commission’s costs. The review of Betfair and Paddy Power’s remote licences found failures to comply with paragraphs 1, 4, 7, 8 and 11 of social responsibility code provision 3.4.3.

Provision 3.4.3 is the rule on remote customer interaction. In outline, it requires operators to watch for indicators that a customer may be experiencing harm, such as time spent, spending patterns and changes in behaviour, to act on those signs promptly and to check whether their action worked. In practice, that is why a site may contact you, apply limits or ask questions about your play. Our page on signs slots are becoming a problem lists the same warning signs from the player’s side.

Sportsbook and slots in one account: the rules that differ

Because Paddy Power puts betting, casino and bingo behind one login, it helps to know which rules apply to which product.

• Slots have a £5 maximum spin for players aged 25 and over and £2 for those aged 18 to 24, at least 2.5 seconds per spin, and no autoplay, turbo or bonus buy.
• Other casino games, such as roulette and blackjack, must take at least 5 seconds per round and can’t use autoplay.
• Promotions can’t mix products since 19 January 2026, so a sports bet can’t unlock casino spins and vice versa.
• Bonus wagering is capped at 10 times the bonus on any offer made since the same date.

Our UK slot rules guide explains each rule with dates, and the stake limit entry covers how the age bands work.

Reading max win and payout limits before you play

Every slot has a maximum win set by the developer, shown as a multiple of the stake. A slot with a 5,000x cap, such as Book of Dead, can pay at most £5,000 on a £1 spin, and reaching the cap is extremely rare. Separately, an operator’s terms may set its own maximum payout per game or per day, which can sit below what the slot allows at high stakes.

1. Open the slot’s help screen and note the maximum win multiplier.
2. Multiply it by your stake to see the top prize in pounds.
3. Search the site’s terms for any maximum payout or winnings limit.
4. If a promotion is involved, check its own winnings cap as well.

Our guide to slot max win explained works through more examples.

Some deposit methods are excluded. Ladbrokes: play £10 on slots and receive 50 free spins a day for 10 days, up to 500, at 10p each with no wagering, claimed from the inbox by 23:59 each day. 10bet: a 100% match up to £25 on a first deposit, wagered 10x on slots within 3 days, with bonus winnings capped at £1,000.
