Evidence: SEC-filed public parent: flutter-entertainment

Security 15%28

Paddy Power overview

Operating since 2025, Paddy Power is a sportsbook tracked in the SharkBetting Atlas. Ultimate ownership traces back to Flutter Entertainment, a publicly traded company, so a regulated parent is accountable behind the brand. It accepts players from 10 countries. Public hosting infrastructure is classified as tier-1 hosting (Cloudflare, Inc.).

Its SharkBetting Trust Score v2 sits at 68 out of 100 (high confidence, above-average band). It has only a short track record online, so there is limited history to judge it on.

Frequently asked questions

Is Paddy Power safe?

Paddy Power has a Trust Score of 68/100 with high data confidence. It rates in the middle of the atlas: licensing 88/100, reviews 51/100, corporate 95/100, security 28/100. No active red flags are recorded against the brand.

Who owns Paddy Power?

Paddy Power is part of the SEC-listed group flutter-entertainment (ticker FLUT), which discloses audited financials and ownership in public filings. Verified ownership matters because the parent company holds the regulatory licence, custody of player funds, and final responsibility for dispute resolution; corporate transparency is one of six components in the Trust Score v2 rubric.

Is Paddy Power licensed?

Paddy Power appears in regulator registers classified by the Trust Score v2 scorer as UKGC (tier-1). The licensing component scores 88/100 in Trust Score v2. Tier-1 status means strict KYC, AML, segregated player funds, and mandatory dispute resolution. Tier-2 covers Gibraltar, Isle of Man, Alderney, Kahnawake, and KSA-NL. Tier-3 covers Curacao-style light-touch frameworks.

What do third-party review platforms say about Paddy Power?

Paddy Power appears on multiple independent review aggregators that measure different aspects of player experience. A third-party dispute-mediation service, which mediates player complaints with operators, scores 1/10. Open consumer-review platforms reflect sentiment from any consumer who chooses to post; dispute-mediation services reflect how an operator behaves when disputes are escalated, so the two metrics measure different things.

Where is Paddy Power available?

Paddy Power accepts players from 10 jurisdictions per atlas data, including Malta, Norway, Ireland, United Kingdom, Pakistan, Thailand and 4 more. Availability lists are derived from public terms-of-service pages and licence registers; geofencing rules can be tighter than what is publicly stated, and accounts opened from restricted IPs are usually voided. Always verify your specific country on the official site before depositing.

Is Paddy Power's site secure?

Paddy Power scores 28/100 on the Trust Score v2 security component, indicating noticeable hardening gaps. Signals include: Mozilla Observatory grade D-; DNS hygiene: no SPF/DMARC/DKIM (-5); CDN: Cloudflare (+3); hosted on tier-1 infrastructure (Cloudflare, Inc.). The security component blends HTTP-header hardening (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options), TLS configuration, DNS hygiene (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), CDN/WAF presence, and hosting reputation; it does not assess the operator's internal security or breach history.
