Paddy Power Games UK Review for 2024

Game types

Game providers

The casino has a lot to offer game-wise. Our Paddy Power Games review covers all available activities.

Slots

This is the base of the site’s titles – its slots catalogue. UK users get 700 titles to pick from, some coming from top developers, such as Playtech, Big Time Gaming, Play’N GO, or NetEnt, a fact the casino makes sure to bring into the spotlight.

As for navigability, the site also surpasses its competitors. We were impressed by the sheer amount of information it provides for each entry. It really does make you feel like you are playing cream-of-the-crop games.

Each jackpot or progressive will showcase its current pot.

Slots are decent all around. The number is not wooing, but it provides, nonetheless.

Live Blackjack

There are two ways to access Live Blackjack games. You either select its designated tab at the top of your screen or go on the Live Casino hub.

There is a reason for which the Blackjack tab includes both. You only have five options listed in the Live Casino.

UK users should note that 14 more titles do not appear in this category.

The implementation quality varies, with some titles being more informative than others. Live Blackjack Lounge entries and Live Blackjack Private showcase betting limits and available seats in the thumbnail.

There is some good variety, especially with bet thresholds:

Live Roulette

You can find 14 Live Roulette titles.

Their implementations similarly differ based on the provider.

As is for each popular live game, you can also play in-house titles, such as the Live roulette Lobby or the in-house Live Roulette.

While not providing a lot of info in their thumbnails, each entry has a detailed informational section.

Live Baccarat

Live Baccarat is the one game type that lags behind, with three different titles, plus Live Sic-Bo Deluxe.

Variety is also more restrained here. UK users can play Live Baccarat, Lightning Baccarat, or access the Live Baccarat Lobby for more rooms.

You will not find household games here.

Tip: Remember that the site offers specific Paddy Power Games promotions for Live Casino games. Check their eligibility on the promotional page.

Table Games

Table games provide a good alternative for live titles.

Unfortunately, here too, implementation issues show. When accessing the specific tab, you only find video versions for Poker, Baccarat, and Craps.

As for video Blackjack and Roulette games, you find them on the game tabs. This really is a shame, as there are some worthwhile entries here, casino originals included:

• Original Blackjack with Side Bets;
• Premium Blackjack with Side Bets;
• Cash Out Blackjack;
• Premium Roulette;
• Original Roulette;
• Money Back Roulette.

Tip: Designated Blackjack and Roulette tabs contain both video and live versions. If you only wish to access one type, go on the wider hubs present on your home page display.

User Experience

We know that experiences can differ based on gaming environments. Luckily, we do take this into account in our Paddy Power Games review. Our expert testers used various devices and connectivity methods to provide the most relevant details for players in the UK.

For the sake of transparency, these are the hardware and software specifications for our Paddy Power Games review:

Desktop Performance

The site is well-designed, and the features are extensive. As reviewers, we are used to being confused by a platform due to its poor design, with better services being more transparent.

This site, however, has clarity issues due to its sheer magnitude. The casino provides numerous betting activities, and consequently, it devotes a separate section to each of its services.

This is not an issue. There have been precedents. Nonetheless, when it comes to finding information and knowing which data is valid for which section, UK users may have a hard time.

GTmetrix is a reliable tool for assessing platform performance. That is why we, too, used it to test the site for our Paddy Power Games review.

These are the results:

Mobile Verdict

Although we did encounter some load latency and, some odd banner display instances, the mobile site adapts somewhat well.

Unfortunately, site-wise, the whole presentation is cluttered, and this only aggravates the confusing layouts and information overload.

Luckily, as our Paddy Power Games review will show, mobile users have another option: the licensed Paddy Power Games app variants.

iOS Performance

We start with the Paddy Power Games app. Stability-wise, we, as well as multiple UK users, encountered some stability issues.

In our experience, there were no outright crashes, but we cannot ignore the queries of other players.

Especially since we did not see efforts on the developers’ side in correcting or addressing these issues.

The Paddy Power Games app for iOS was designed with iPads in mind. This is not game-breaking by any means, but our readers from the UK should know that there you will find the best implementation.

Lastly, mobile gamblers can claim spin-based registration Paddy Power bonuses when starting to play.

Android Usability

As for the Paddy Power Games app for Android devices, we have to rehash some of the same observations.

Oddly enough, the platform is a bit more stable on Android. Although some players did encounter some connectivity issues, this could arise from device discrepancies.

In the case of the Android Paddy Power Games app, there is a greater variation in outcomes, as generally, iOS devices have more similar architecture and performance rate.

Nevertheless, both the Android and iOS Paddy Power Games app versions are a welcome addition and a clear pro in today’s iGaming environment.

One last observation is that on Android, too, you will find the same Paddy Power Games promotions upon registration.

Registration Process Verdict

Our Paddy Power Games review will also provide you with registration essentials for the casino.

Signing up on the site is quick and easy. Some UK users may like the multiple-step process that takes you through several tabs.

This site does it differently, as there is one registration page.

Here, you provide all relevant details, such as your full name, date of birth, address in the UK, and contact details.

While you will use your email address, you must also provide a phone number. This will come into use in case you lose your password.

The site also asks you to pick and provide a security query answer.

Be Aware!

• You cannot open an account if you have been previously prohibited or self-excluded from a Betfair, Sky Betting and Gaming, Full Tilt Poker, or PokerStars, or the casino itself. The same applies if you are registered with GAMSTOP.

Account Verification & Closure

You are required to complete the standard KYC procedure necessary in the UK.

This will allow you to upload identification and proof of address documents via the website’s KYC portal.

Once you are done, the process will quickly commence and complete.

As for closures, you must contact the customer service team and state your wish. This applies to recuperating funds from closed, locked, or excluded accounts.

UK users can, of course, reopen their accounts anytime.

Good to Know

• If you show no activity for 13 months or more, your account becomes inactive. The site charges you £5 monthly until your balance hits zero.
• To reactivate your account, log in to your profile and either place a bet or make a transaction.

Loyalty Scheme

Paddy Rewards club resembles a loyalty scheme, although it declares that “Loyalty’s Dead. Live for rewards.”

The system resembles the other opt-in Paddy Power bonuses.

You are effectively rewarded for betting a certain amount each week:

Of course, there are extra conditions:

• Spins have a £0.10 set value.
• You receive the bet based on what you wagered most funds on. If you played Poker the most, the bet is eligible for casino games.
• You have 24 hours to claim the spins and 12 hours to use them.
• The bet expires in 24 hours and must be wagered once.

The loyalty-like system is needlessly confusing. We agree that combining elements from Paddy Power bonuses and loyalty schemes is novel, but it needlessly complicates the system.
