bet365 or Paddy Power: where the published details differ

The register snapshot of 6 November 2026 lists bet365 under Hillside (Europe) ENC, licence GRAI-0539-RB-26-0001, type RB, issued on 1 July 2026.

It lists Paddy Power under PPB Counterparty Services Limited, licence GRAI-1003-RB-26-0001, type RB, issued on 11 August 2026. The same record carries the trading name Betfair.

We will confirm both entries on the day of publication. The steps are on (page:licence/check-grai-register).

Bottom line: both appear on the register as remote betting licences held by different licensees.

The table has 11 rows. The first rows come from one register snapshot. Rows from operator pages are open until the pages are captured, and open cells score nothing.

Bottom line: the register rows are filled; the 6 criteria from operator pages are not yet verified.

Two items can be stated today from the register. The licensees are different companies, and the licence numbers are different. The issue dates are 1 July 2026 for bet365 and 11 August 2026 for Paddy Power.

The Paddy Power record in the snapshot lists two trading names, Betfair and Paddy Power. The bet365 record lists one. We draw no conclusion from that beyond the register wording.

On safer-gambling tools, payments and markets no difference is claimed, because the operator pages have not been read.

Bottom line: the register shows three differences, and the operator pages show none yet.

Check the licensee line first if you want to know which company the register ties to your account. The brand name on the site is a trading name of that company.

Check the deposit-limit and self-exclusion rows if you plan to set limits before you start. They stay open until the tools pages are captured; read the operator's own page meanwhile.

Check the payment row if you have a preferred method. We list debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Revolut, Skrill, Neteller and Open Banking or bank transfer.

Bottom line: the table says what to look up, and it will say what each site publishes once captured.

Both entries are remote betting licences (RB) in the snapshot, and the register shows a three-year term.

Both operators must show the licence number on their online platforms, according to the summary of s.110(1)(a)(ii) in our research; we recheck this against the Act before publication.

Bottom line: the licence type and the display duty are shared.
