paf overview

Online since 1999, paf runs as a betting platform in the SharkBetting Atlas. The brand was first registered online in 1999, giving it roughly 27 years of operating history. It holds 2 active licences, from Spelinspektionen and DGOJ. KYC checks are documented as strict, with full identity verification before withdrawal. Public hosting infrastructure is classified as tier-1 hosting (Cloudflare, Inc.).

Its SharkBetting Trust Score v2 sits at 79 out of 100 (high confidence, above-average band). One gap worth noting: we found no disclosed ownership on record, so there is no named parent company behind the brand to hold accountable.

Frequently asked questions

Is paf safe?

paf has a Trust Score of 74/100 with high data confidence. It rates well on independent signals: licensing 84/100, reviews 59/100, corporate 10/100, security 63/100. No active red flags are recorded against the brand.

What do third-party review platforms say about paf?

paf appears on multiple independent review aggregators that measure different aspects of player experience. An open consumer-review platform, which collects open consumer reviews, shows 1.4/5 across 41 reviews captured from a Wayback snapshot of paf.com. A third-party dispute-mediation service, which mediates player complaints with operators, scores 8/10. 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 paf available?

paf accepts players from 4 jurisdictions per atlas data, including Spain, Sweden, Latvia, Finland. 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.

What are alternatives to paf?

Alternatives in the same operator family (parent groups: kambi, unibet) include 32red, atg, betparx, betplay, betuk and 15 other branded clones. Same-family sites typically share the platform, licensing posture, payment rails, and corporate ownership, so a complaint pattern, regulator action, or AML failure at one site frequently recurs across siblings. Compare independent Trust Scores side by side before switching, and check whether the alternative holds the same licences in your country.

Is paf's site secure?

paf scores 63/100 on the Trust Score v2 security component, indicating a mid-tier security posture. Signals include: Mozilla Observatory grade C; HSTS enabled; DNS hygiene: SPF/DMARC/DKIM 3/4 (+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.
