Paddy Power and Ladbrokes both appear on the GRAI register as remote betting (RB) licensees. Paddy Power holds licence GRAI-1003-RB-26-0001 under PPB Counterparty Services Limited; Ladbrokes holds GRAI-0622-RB-26-0001 under LC International Limited. Limits, breaks, menus and support rows are not yet sourced for either brand.

## Which licences do they hold?

Two licensees, two numbers, two issue dates.

- Paddy Power: PPB Counterparty Services Limited, issued 11 August 2026.
- Ladbrokes: LC International Limited, issued 1 July 2026.

The Ladbrokes entry predates the Paddy Power entry by 41 days. Open the [GRAI licence register](https://www.grai.ie/register/licence-register) to read both cards.

## What does the criteria table show?

Each row uses one criterion from the matrix. Rows with a register entry are filled; the others carry the standard marker until a public page is sourced.

## Where do they differ?

The register shows the gap in dates and the number of trading names: two on the PPB entry (Betfair and Paddy Power), one on the LC International entry.

On the criteria that matter for this pair, we record whether each operator publishes deposit limits, a time-out, a sport menu across ten categories and support channels with hours. Each is a yes, a no or not verified, with a source and date.

No such values are filled yet.

## Who does each one suit?

If limits and breaks decide your choice, read the rows on deposit limits and time-out once they carry a source. If the menu decides it, read the sport categories row.

Both profiles show the full list: [Paddy Power](https://bookieledger.com/operator/paddy-power/) and [Ladbrokes](https://bookieledger.com/operator/ladbrokes/).

## Where are they the same?

Both are on the register, both hold an RB licence, and both are held to the same 19 criteria.

The matrix treats a missing public page as zero points without calling it a fault. That rule applies equally to both brands.

## In short

**Bottom line:** Both brands are listed; they differ in licensee, number, date and trading names, and the criteria rows still await sources.
