# Paddy Power or Sky Bet: how do their extra places differ? > A criterion table for the extra-place terms published by Paddy Power and Sky Bet, with values marked Not verified until read from each operator and dated. Source: https://eachwayatlas.uk/bookmakers/paddy-power-vs-sky-bet-extra-places/ Updated: 2026-11-07 How Paddy Power and Sky Bet differ on extra places is Not verified on 7 November 2026, and we do not name either as better. The table below shows what will be compared: how each announces extra places, the places and fraction, and the Rule 4, dead-heat and price-guarantee wording. Every cell waits for a source and a date. ## The comparison table Extra places are a promotion, so each row describes the offer on the date we read it, not a permanent feature of the bookmaker. **Paddy Power and Sky Bet, UK horse racing: operators' published terms and the UKGC register ยท status on 7 November 2026** | Criterion | Paddy Power | Sky Bet | Source to read | |---|---|---|---| | Licence status on the register | Not verified | Not verified | UKGC public register | | Extra places: how announced | Not verified | Not verified | Promotions pages | | Extra places: races covered and number of places | Not verified | Not verified | Terms of each offer | | Standard places and fractions | Not verified | Not verified | Racing rules pages | | Rule 4 | Not verified | Not verified | Betting rules | | Dead heat | Not verified | Not verified | Betting rules | | Best Odds Guaranteed | Not verified | Not verified | Racing offer pages | | Date the extra-place wording was published | Not verified | Not verified | Date on each page | **The short version:** the table compares dated wording, and it ends with no verdict of better or worse. ## What we will read again for this page Values already in the profiles, [Paddy Power extra places](https://eachwayatlas.uk/bookmakers/paddy-power-extra-places/) and [Sky Bet extra places](https://eachwayatlas.uk/bookmakers/sky-bet-extra-places/), are shown only by link. For this comparison we will read the full conditions of each extra-place promotion again on the date of the page. We will not repeat claims in AI answers about a particular race, such as a Sky Bet price at Ascot, unless the operator's own archive page shows it. **The short version:** claims about a single race need the operator's own record of that race. ## Reading the result once it is filled If a difference appears, state it as a condition: for a race with this wording, one operator's text applies more places or a different fraction. Do not turn it into a general ranking. Sky Bet's register record is covered on its own page, [Sky Bet licence record](https://eachwayatlas.uk/licence/sky-bet-licence/), and we check it before this page can go live. **The short version:** a difference is a fact about a race and a date, not about the whole bookmaker. ## Where the two may match Both are likely to publish a standard line for places and fractions by race type. The explanation of the idea is on [what extra places are](https://eachwayatlas.uk/extra-places/what-are-extra-places/), and a wider list is planned on [UK-licensed bookmakers that publish extra-place offers](https://eachwayatlas.uk/bookmakers/extra-place-offers/). **The short version:** matching terms are recorded with the same care as differing ones. ## Before you bet 18+ only.
