Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At Paddy Power and across the betting industry, we believe gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While many people gamble responsibly for fun, it's important to understand the risks and know when to seek help.

We are committed to promoting responsible gambling and supporting players who may develop gambling-related problems.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in the United Kingdom. This is a legal requirement designed to protect young people from the potential harms of gambling.

If you are under 18, we urge you not to use betting services. If you have concerns about a young person's gambling, please contact the relevant support organisations listed below.
