Inside this guide
Paddy Power Ireland has a current Irish sportsbook licence held by PPB Counterparty Services Limited. The same register entry also lists Betfair as a trading name, but the consumer brands remain distinct. Paddy Power's own terms separate sportsbook betting from gaming arrangements, so readers should match each product with the company and conditions that actually apply.
Paddy Power Ireland at a glance
The GRAI register updated on 13 October 2026, reviewed here on 14 October 2026, lists PPB Counterparty Services Limited under Betfair, Paddy Power. Licence GRAI-1003-RB-26-0001 records the activity Remote Betting. It was issued on 11 August 2026 and expires on 10 August 2029. These dates identify the recorded licence period; the entry should be checked again if the regulator changes its status.
Products and operator identity
The official material supports both sports betting and casino or gaming services. The Irish sportsbook terms name PPB Counterparty Services, while additional gaming terms identify other entities and MGA arrangements for non-UK customers. A shared brand account or website does not make those legal arrangements identical. Choose the product first, then read its rules and the conditions governing any associated bonus.
Bonuses and offer conditions
For Paddy Power Ireland bonuses, the operator's help guidance says the applicable welcome offer and terms are displayed during registration. This page therefore does not attach one fixed amount to every new customer. Review the offer you actually receive, including eligibility, qualifying payment, stake, odds and timing. If the reward is a free bet, check whether its stake is excluded from the winnings and when it must be used.
Before you join
Use the official website and read the registration offer before making a qualifying deposit. Save the terms attached to that offer, rather than relying on a headline from an earlier campaign. Check whether a bet must be placed or settled by the deadline; those requirements are not equivalent. When moving to gaming, review the applicable gaming terms and operator information separately from the sportsbook agreement.
The value of a promotion depends on its restrictions as well as its headline. Consider permitted selections, maximum qualifying stakes, expiry and treatment of void bets where those conditions apply. Compare the service's ordinary betting rules and account requirements too. Gambling is for adults aged 18 and over. Establish an entertainment budget before depositing, use available limits and avoid increasing your spending to chase either a bonus or a previous loss.
Questions answered
Who operates Paddy Power Ireland sports betting?
PPB Counterparty Services Limited is the company named for Irish sportsbook betting in the official terms and current GRAI remote betting register.
Does the shared Betfair licence entry mean identical offers?
No. The register identifies trading names and a licence holder. It does not promise identical consumer promotions, and the welcome conditions displayed by each brand determine the offer for that account.
Explore casino profiles, sportsbook profiles and free slot demos. Demo play does not predict real-money results.
Sources & further reading
Licence records establish the scope shown in the register. A remote betting licence is not evidence of authorisation for every casino product.
