Paddy Power is run by PPB Counterparty Services Limited, account number 39439, which our reference record shows as Active for General Betting Standard – Real Event Remote on 6 November 2026. Its horse-racing place terms are not yet verified here. This page separates the checked licence facts from the claims still to be confirmed against the operator's own pages.

**The short version:** Paddy Power's licence record is sourced and dated; re-confirmation on the register is still pending.

## Regulator decisions

The Commission announced on 17 December 2025 that Paddy Power Betfair would pay £2m for regulatory failures. The article is listed in our country reference.

Whether that settlement concerns the same legal entity as the current licensee is Not verified. We will read the register's Regulatory actions list for account 39439 before this page is published.

## Racing terms: what is verified

Each row is a question a reader needs answered before an each-way bet. A row stays Not verified until an operator page has been read and dated.

**What we can state about Paddy Power's racing terms · source: operator pages, to be read and dated · 2026-11-07**

| Aspect | Status on 7 November 2026 | Where it is recorded |
|---|---|---|
| Standard places and fractions for UK racing | Not verified | Recorded with source and date in the [standard place terms table](/data/standard-place-terms/) |
| Place-term option that changes the places | Not verified | Described on [how place options work](/extra-places/customised-place-terms/) once the operator wording is read |
| Rule 4 deduction and dead-heat wording | Not verified | Definitions on [Rule 4 deduction](/glossary/rule-4-deduction/) and [dead heat](/glossary/dead-heat/) |

Our [method page](https://eachwayatlas.uk/about/how-we-check/) says how each page is read, dated and stored.

**The short version:** every racing term for Paddy Power is Not verified on 7 November 2026.

## What the record means for a Paddy Power customer

The licensee also appears in our reference against Betfair Sportsbook. One licence holder can run several brands, so a shared record says nothing about shared terms.

That is why the two brands have separate profiles: [the Betfair Sportsbook profile](https://eachwayatlas.uk/bookmakers/betfair-sportsbook/) reads its own pages and makes no assumption from this one.

## Claims we have seen, not verified

Answer assistants described Paddy Power as running automatic extra places on selected races and daily extra-place promotions. They also called its terms generous on big handicaps.

We treat all three statements as leads. None is repeated as fact until we read an operator page and record its date.

**The short version:** assistant statements about Paddy Power are not verified and carry no weight in any tier.

## Check it yourself

These steps take a few minutes and need no account with the operator.

1. Open the register record for account 39439 and confirm the licensee name and that the status reads Active.
2. Check that the activity list includes General Betting Standard – Real Event Remote, which is the betting licence.
3. Look up the domain you are using on the register's domain page and note whether it reads Active, Inactive or White Label.
4. Read the Regulatory actions list and the date of the last update.

If any step disagrees with this page, tell us through the [corrections page](https://eachwayatlas.uk/about/corrections/).

## Strengths and limits of this profile

A profile is only as strong as the facts behind it, so we state both sides against the same criteria.

- Strength: The licence can be traced to a numbered register entry, which anyone can open.
- Limit: No racing term has been read from the operator yet, so this profile cannot support any ranking position.

Tier criteria are on [how tiers work](https://eachwayatlas.uk/about/how-tiers-work/). This profile has no tier yet.

## What changed

The licence facts come from the country reference dated 6 November 2026. No change has been recorded since, and none has been looked for yet.

The full list of edits is in the [change log](https://eachwayatlas.uk/data/changelog/).
