# Which responsible-gambling tools does Paddy Power describe for Irish customers? > Which limit, break and self-exclusion tools Paddy Power describes for customers in Ireland: a table still unverified, the points the group carries, outside help. Source: https://bookieledger.com/operator/paddy-power/safer-gambling-tools/ Updated: 2026-11-07 Paddy Power appears on the GRAI register as a trading name of PPB Counterparty Services Limited, licence GRAI-1003-RB-26-0001. Its responsible-gambling pages have not been read yet. The table below covers eight controls, and each will be filled from Paddy Power's own pages with a date. Until then the page states no period, no limit type and no reminder setting. ## Which tools does Paddy Power describe? Eight controls are listed. Each is checked on Paddy Power's own pages, and the right-hand column shows the status. GRAI licence GRAI-1003-RB-26-0001 · register checked 6 November 2026 **Paddy Power: safer-gambling tools · source operator responsible-gambling pages · checked 7 November 2026** | Tool | Where the operator describes it | Periods and limit types | Source and check date | |---|---|---|---| | Deposit limit | Not verified | Not verified | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | | Time-out or break | Not verified | Not verified | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | | Self-exclusion at the operator | Not verified | Not verified | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | | Time reminder | Not verified | Not verified | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | | Time and net result on the account | Not verified | Not verified | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | | Link to Irish help | Not verified | Not verified | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | | Parental-control link on the home page | Not verified | Not verified | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | | Account closure on request | Not verified | Not verified | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | Where Irish law sets a duty on the operator, the duty is part of the reason for the row: - Deposit limit: s.164: the operator must let the player set a monetary limit - Time-out or break: Operator tool, no statutory wording recorded - Self-exclusion at the operator: Operator tool; the national register is not in force - Time reminder: Operator tool, no statutory wording recorded - Time and net result on the account: s.173(4): wins, losses and time shown on the account - Link to Irish help: Gambling Awareness Trust and GRAI Get Help are the sources we record - Parental-control link on the home page: s.174 - Account closure on request: s.171 **Bottom line:** none of the eight controls is verified for Paddy Power yet. ## What exists outside the operator? Some protection does not depend on the operator. GRAI lists bank gambling blocks at AIB, Bank of Ireland, EBS, PTSB and Revolut, and the free tools BetBlocker and GamBan. The [GRAI Protection Tools](https://www.grai.ie/gambling-safety/get-support/protection-tools) page is the source. The national self-exclusion register (ss.44–49) is not in force. Self-exclusion today means asking the operator, using a bank block, BetBlocker or GamBan. Free 24/7 support: Gambling Awareness Trust helpline 1800 936 725 · gamblingcare.ie. **Bottom line:** self-exclusion needs the operator, a bank block or an app, because the national register is not in force. ## What do these tools carry in points? In our score, safer-gambling controls are group R, worth 25 of 100 points. Five items are scored. An item that is not published or not verified scores 0. **Group R items and points · weights v1.0 · source criteria page** | Item | Points | |---|---| | R1 Deposit limits | 6 | | R2 Break | 5 | | R3 Self-exclusion at the operator | 6 | | R4 Time reminder | 4 | | R5 Link to Irish help | 4 | The weights are fixed before any operator is read. See (page:methodology/scoring-criteria). **Bottom line:** group R carries 25 points over five items, and Paddy Power has none of them recorded yet. ## What did we not check? We did not open an account or use any tool. Also not checked: - Whether reminders can be switched off or changed by the customer. We record the options a page describes. - Whether the Betfair pages, which share the licence entry, describe the same tools. They are read separately. - Any period or limit amount. None is recorded. **Bottom line:** this page records descriptions only, and none has been read yet. ## What changed? 7 November 2026: table created, all cells empty. No changes recorded between these snapshots. Changes will appear in the (page:data/changelog). **Bottom line:** this is the first snapshot of the tools. ## Where to go next This page has no Ad block, and no operator link appears on it. - (page:operator/paddy-power): licence and published terms - (page:data/safer-gambling-controls): all operators, five controls - (page:licence/set-deposit-limits-and-take-a-break): how to set a limit - (page:responsible-gambling): signs of a problem and who to contact 18+ only. Gambling can be addictive – play responsibly. Set limits, take breaks and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
