How we rank PaddyPower?

Summary

In reality, I don't recommend PowerPaddy at all. If you bet on horses, after a couple of wins, you will get rid of BOG, and then the account will be limited. The odds are bad, among the worst among today's popular bookmakers. The offer is not bad, but you can find something similar at other bookmakers.

Pros

  • Plenty of Sports
  • BOG on Horse Racing
  • Money Back Specials

Cons

  • Low Odds
  • Don’t Like Winners
  • Many Negative Comments
Certainly a better choice is 18bet
