# Paddy Power in Ireland: what the register and its own pages show > Paddy Power in Ireland: licensee, licence number and issue date from the GRAI register, with other terms marked until sourced. Source: https://bookieledger.com/operator/paddy-power/ Updated: 2026-11-07 Paddy Power is listed on the GRAI register under licensee PPB Counterparty Services Limited: licence GRAI-1003-RB-26-0001, a remote betting (RB) licence issued on 11 August 2026. The same entry also lists the Betfair trading name. The figures come from a snapshot read on 6 November 2026 and await a recheck. The Ledger score is not yet calculated. ## Is it licensed? GRAI licence GRAI-1003-RB-26-0001 · register checked 6 November 2026 **GRAI register entry for Paddy Power.

A licence number therefore points to a licensee, not to a single brand. That is why the [Betfair page](https://bookieledger.com/operator/betfair/) separates the bookmaker entry from the exchange entry. The card on the [GRAI licence register](https://www.grai.ie/register/licence-register) is the primary source. Our snapshot is awaiting a recheck against it. ## What does it publish? The table shows the five groups we record for Paddy Power. Each is filled only from the operator's own pages for customers in Ireland. **Paddy Power: the five criteria groups and their status. Source · Checked: not yet sourced** | Group | Items we record | Status | Source · Checked | |---|---|---|---| | L Licence and transparency | Licence number on the site, licensee named in the terms, terms version or date | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | Operator's public pages for customers in Ireland, not yet sourced | | R Safer-gambling controls | Deposit limits, time-out, self-exclusion, reality check, link to Irish help | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | Operator's public pages for customers in Ireland, not yet sourced | | P Payments and withdrawals | Methods from a list of eight, withdrawal limits, processing time, fees | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | Operator's public pages for customers in Ireland, not yet sourced | | M Markets and product | Categories from a list of ten, in-play, streaming, cash out | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | Operator's public pages for customers in Ireland, not yet sourced | | S Support and complaints | Channels (chat, e-mail, phone), hours, complaints route | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | Operator's public pages for customers in Ireland, not yet sourced | Aspect pages for this operator: - [Paddy Power payments](https://bookieledger.com/operator/paddy-power/payments/) - [Paddy Power safer-gambling tools](https://bookieledger.com/operator/paddy-power/safer-gambling-tools/) Every cell stays at the standard marker until we have read the operator's page and recorded its URL and the date. ## Which claims by others can we not confirm? One AI assistant answer named a parent group for Paddy Power. We have not confirmed it from the company's own reporting, so this page states no group. Answers also called its app and promotions strong. We publish no app ratings and no promotions, so those claims stay outside this page. ## How does it score? Ledger score not yet calculated · weights v1.0 The score adds points over 19 criteria in five groups: licence and transparency (20), safer-gambling controls (25), payments and withdrawals (20), markets and product (20), and support and complaints (15). The maximum is 100. A criterion we cannot verify earns zero points, and the text does not call that a fault. Paddy Power stays out of the ranking if more than three of the 19 are not verified. The score measures what an operator publishes, not odds or service quality. See [Ledger score criteria](https://bookieledger.com/methodology/scoring-criteria/). ## What did we not check? We have not yet read the Paddy Power pages on limits, payments, menus or contact for Ireland. No criterion beyond the register entry carries a value. Still to do: recheck the card, read the trading names listed there, and source the group from company reporting. We did not open accounts, place bets or measure payment speed. We publish no odds, no promotions and no app ratings. ## What changed? No changes recorded between these snapshots. This is the first snapshot, so there is no earlier version to compare. Changes to the licence, payment or terms pages will appear in the [terms change tracker](https://bookieledger.com/terms-diff-tracker/) and the [data changelog](https://bookieledger.com/data/changelog/). ## Is there advertising on this page?
