# Paddy Power app for Irish customers: what the licence and store listings show

> Paddy Power app in Ireland: the licensee on the working list, the GRAI licence number to confirm, and the store facts and rating claims still to be checked.

Updated: 2026-11-07

Paddy Power is a candidate, licence to be confirmed. The working list names PPB Counterparty Services Limited and GRAI-1003-RB-26-0001, issued 11 August 2026, a licensee shared with Betfair. Licence status, store versions and AppScore v1 are Not checked. We did not test the service; this page uses public documents.

## Licence passport

One licensee, two trading names: the working list gives Betfair and Paddy Power under one entry. Match the number on the register before you rely on either name. See [licensee and trading name](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/licensee-and-trading-name-meaning/).

## Checking claims about ratings and Irish markets

Assistants said Paddy Power has a very high iOS rating with a large number of reviews. They also cited Irish-friendly markets, including racing and GAA.

**In short:** A rating is store data, not our opinion.

## Store listings: App Store and Google Play

The App Store listing for Ireland is read first, because assistants quoted its rating. Then the Google Play listing is matched to the same developer name.

**Source: App Store and Google Play listings for Ireland (not yet read) · checked 7 November 2026**

| Last update | Not checked | Not checked |
| Minimum OS | Not checked | Not checked |
| Size | Not checked | Not checked |
| Age label | Not checked | Not checked |
| Privacy section | App Privacy: Not checked | Data safety: Not checked |

**In short:** Eight fields per store, none read yet. See [reading a store listing](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/read-a-betting-app-store-listing/).

## Safer-gambling controls

Controls are read from Paddy Power's help pages for Ireland. The aspect page gives the in-app route, see [limits and time-outs for Paddy Power](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/paddy-power-app-limits-and-time-outs/).

- Deposit limit: Not checked
- Time limit or reminder: Not checked
- Time-out: Not checked
- Self-exclusion: Not checked
- Link to help: Not checked

**In short:** Five checkable controls, 30 points in all.

## Payments

Payments are read from the operator's own page. A method counts only when the page names it for Ireland.

- Debit card (Visa Debit and Mastercard Debit as one entry): Not checked
- Apple Pay: Not checked
- Google Pay: Not checked
- PayPal: Not checked
- Bank transfer or Open Banking: Not checked

**In short:** Closed list of five; other wallets do not score.

## Features

Streaming, cash out, bet builder and notification controls are read from the operator's rules. Where the rules are silent, the cell will say so.

- Live streaming: Not checked
- Cash out: Not checked
- Bet builder: Not checked
- Notification controls: Not checked

**In short:** Four features, 10 points in all.

## How we score

No AppScore v1 line exists for Paddy Power yet. The gate, the six criteria and the weights are published in [the method](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/appscore-method/).

Strengths and weaknesses will be listed by criterion, each with a date. Today both lists are empty.

**In short:** Empty lists beat invented ones.

## What we did not check

- Betfair products on the shared licence: outside this page.
- Promotions and specials: we publish no offers.
- Service quality: no account, no bets.
- Withdrawal speed: Not checked.

**In short:** Shared licence does not mean shared apps; each listing is read separately.

## Operator link

No operator link is attached in this build. If one is added, it appears once, at the end of the page, under the label Ad.
