Evidence Snapshot

  • Direct sister: Paddy Power, with both domains recorded under PPB Entertainment and PPB Counterparty Services.
  • Wider Flutter comparisons: Sky Vegas for casino browsing; tombola for bingo and its own games.
  • Betfair’s UK Exchange is operated by TSE Malta LP, account 39561; Casino, Sportsbook and Exchange Games have different assignments.
  • Research checked 29 October 2026 using official registers, terms, help pages and inspected publisher images. No personal account, gameplay or withdrawal testing.

Which sites are connected to Betfair?

The PPB Entertainment domain record lists both betfair.com and paddypower.com as active. PPB Counterparty Services’ record does too. Paddy Power therefore has a direct operating-company connection, as well as the common Flutter owner.

Flutter’s UK and Ireland business also includes Sky Betting and Gaming and tombola. They belong in a wider family comparison, but that does not place their games under Betfair’s licences. Our Flutter guide explains the group; the comparisons below focus on what changes for someone starting from Betfair.

Betfair Casino, Sportsbook, Exchange and Exchange Games are products of the Betfair brand. Counting their tabs or subdomains as four extra sister sites would confuse a product choice with a choice of another brand.

Paddy Power for live tables and branded games

Green table branding and the dealer view give Paddy’s live casino a different presentation from Betfair’s yellow game screens. The embedded table capture is dated July 2024; it illustrates the product, not today’s table limits or availability. Paddy Power Games UK App Store publisher image, retrieved 29 October 2026.

Paddy Power is the first comparison for a Betfair Casino reader because the relationship is direct and the product overlap is substantial. Its official Games listing includes live roulette, blackjack and baccarat alongside slots, jackpots and Slingo. This is more relevant to a casino search than treating a sportsbook or an Exchange market as the equivalent product.

The publisher image shows a dealer at a green Paddy Power blackjack table, with roulette presented underneath. Elsewhere in the app artwork, Lucky Pants Slingo uses a numbered grid rather than a live table. Those are distinct ways to play and browse within one brand; neither is an additional sister site.

Paddy also has its own named slot editions. Its current Rewards Club list includes Paddy Power Even Bigger Bananas 2 Rapid Fire, while the Betfair artwork later on this page shows a Betfair edition. Compare the full game name and in-game information, not just the familiar banana artwork. Shared operators do not make every edition, jackpot feature or promotion interchangeable.

Sky Vegas for finding a particular casino game

Sky Vegas is a wider Flutter relative with a casino-led interface. Its publisher image places a Find games field above rows for favourites, slots and jackpots, with Home, Find and Promotions in the bottom navigation. Compared with Betfair’s multiple betting and gaming products, this gives the casino game itself a more prominent starting point.

The listing includes live roulette, blackjack and game shows as well as slots. The pictured grid contains Big Bass and other named series, but the useful distinction is the search and category layout, not a claim that familiar games are unique to Sky. A reader looking for a particular slot has a different task from someone comparing Betfair Exchange prices.

The account boundary is especially important here. Sky Vegas’ welcome-offer terms define an existing Sky Bet, Sky Vegas, Sky Poker, Sky Bingo or Sky Casino customer as an existing Sky Betting and Gaming customer. A new visit to Sky Vegas does not make that person new to the group for the offer. The rules are more specific than simply asking whether someone already uses a Flutter brand.

tombola for bingo and its own game range

The publisher pairs bingo90 with Hula Hook to show its bingo-and-slots experience. These are two games within tombola, not two separate sister brands. tombola bingo UK App Store publisher image, retrieved 29 October 2026.

tombola is the most different product comparison in this selection. Its publisher describes games made in-house, with traditional bingo90 alongside formats such as bingo75 Lines and bingo60. It is relevant when the desired change is from Betfair’s casino tiles to bingo rooms and their session structure, rather than another version of the same third-party slot catalogue.

The inspected artwork uses teal branding and combines a numbered bingo90 ticket with the underwater Hula Hook reels. Other publisher screens show chat beside Pulse bingo. That gives the comparison a concrete distinction: room play, ticket formats and chat are central to the presentation, instead of sports markets or the Exchange interface.

tombola and tombola arcade belong to the same tombola account arrangement; their agreement permits one personal account. That is a narrower relationship than their shared Flutter ownership with Betfair. When comparing the products, look at the ticket price, the draw format and any additional game stake separately. Having both games on one screen does not turn two stakes into one purchase.

What happened to PokerStars UK?

The official PokerStars move notice dates the UK transfer to 7 October 2026. The old service closed for gameplay: poker continues through PokerStars on Betfair, and Betfair Casino and Sportsbook replace its casino and sports products.

Existing Betfair customers are told to withdraw their PokerStars funds and use their Betfair account. Those without an active Betfair account follow the migration instructions using PokerStars credentials and accepting Betfair’s terms. This is not a general shared-login rule for Flutter.

The notice ends access to the old withdrawal cashier on 4 November 2026, with support handling later requests. Existing self-exclusions and time-outs remain in place.

Can Paddy Power and Betfair share an account?

There is a practical connection, but it concerns verification documents. Section 3.2.2 of the Betfair UKI privacy statement says Betfair may use documents previously supplied to Paddy Power when verifying a newly opened Betfair account, and vice versa. It describes two brand accounts with possible document reuse, not one universal login.

Use the login and account-recovery route for the brand involved. Document reuse does not itself move a balance, merge promotional eligibility or remove a request for further checks. A privacy request also needs the relevant brand and controller; the corporate relationship does not turn every account instruction into a group-wide one.

If an account already exists, recover it instead of registering again to obtain an offer. If support needs to investigate a transaction, give the brand, product and transaction reference. A Betfair Casino payment and a Paddy Power sportsbook bet are different cases even though the companies are connected.

How do rewards and welcome offers differ?

Paddy’s Slots Rewards Club is a useful example of why a reward needs its own rules. Its help page requires a separate Games opt-in from the Sports club. At the research date, weekly qualifying cash stakes of £10, £20 and £50 on slots earned 5, 10 and 25 spins respectively, valued at 10p each and credited the following Monday. These are spending thresholds, not rewards earned merely by having an account.

Roulette, blackjack, live casino, scratchcards, instant-win games and Slingo do not count towards that slot promotion. An extra stake for The Big Drop is also excluded from qualifying spend. Games spins must be claimed by the following Friday night and then used within 12 hours. Someone browsing Paddy for live tables should not mistake this slots scheme for a reward on every casino product.

Sky Vegas’ welcome offer has different eligibility: its help page includes a no-deposit stage and a deposit-and-spend stage, with 10p spins on selected games, a seven-day spin expiry and no additional wagering on spin winnings. Existing Sky Betting and Gaming customers are excluded. Betfair’s Prize Pinball artwork below illustrates another brand-specific promotion, not a transferable reward or a promise that an existing Paddy customer qualifies.

What changes when withdrawing money?

Betfair’s withdrawal help gives different card timeframes: eligible instant card withdrawals are usually listed as 1–4 hours, while standard card withdrawals are listed as 2–5 working days. These are the operator’s estimates, not measured results from our own withdrawals, and an individual transaction can take longer.

The same help page identifies verification, the return-to-deposit-method policy and cards that cannot receive withdrawals as possible reasons a request cannot proceed. The payment method available in the cashier and the account’s checks therefore matter more than a generic claim that all Flutter sites pay at the same speed.

Keep a withdrawal separate from switching brands. Money in a Betfair account does not become a Paddy Power balance simply because both names appear on a licence record. Use the withdrawal options for the account holding the money; a problem with that transaction belongs with that brand’s support team.

Betfair’s UK operators by product

Betfair’s regulatory table and Gaming Conditions assign different products to different companies. The UKGC register independently records their permissions. This matters if a licence number is being used to explain who provides a particular service.

The addresses below identify the products described in the terms. A shared main domain can appear in more than one operator’s record, so the domain alone does not settle which company handles an Exchange bet or a casino game.

UK product assignments checked 29 October 2026 against Betfair’s terms, regulatory table and UKGC records. Account numbers identify licensees, not customer accounts.
Brand or productProduct addressUK entity and accountScope
Betfair Casinocasino.betfair.comBetfair Casino Limited 39435 / PPB Entertainment Limited 39426Casino; the applicable entity depends on the game
Betfair Sportsbookwww.betfair.comPPB Counterparty Services Limited 39439Betting on real and virtual events
Betfair Exchangewww.betfair.comTSE Malta LP 39561Betting intermediary

Paddy Powerwww.paddypower.comShared records: PPB Entertainment 39426 / PPB Counterparty 39439Sister brand; additional Paddy Power entities also exist

Why 39439 is not the Exchange licence

UKGC account 39439 lists active remote betting permissions for real and virtual events. Account 39561 instead lists the active betting-intermediary permission, and Betfair’s regulatory table identifies TSE Malta LP as the Exchange entity. Using 39439 for every Betfair betting product would erase that distinction.

For an Exchange question, identify the product first and then the operator and licensed activity. For a casino question, use the game’s applicable gaming terms. Our operator-check guide explains that sequence; a familiar domain or a matching footer logo is only part of the evidence.

How Exchange Games differs from the sports Exchange

Exchange Games is the games.betfair.com product assigned to PPB Games Limited, account 39411. It should not be confused with the sports Exchange operated by TSE Malta LP. The similar name does not make the operator, wallet rules or controls identical.

Betfair’s transfer-limit help explains that the Exchange Games limit counts total transfers into that wallet over the selected period. Sending money back to the main balance does not reset it. For example, a £100 weekly transfer allowance is about £100 transferred in during that period, not the balance left after returning funds.

The same help page says main sports loss limits do not apply to Exchange Games. Review that product’s own limit rather than assuming another setting covers it. Decreases apply immediately; increases or removal require confirmation after seven days. A separate control is a reason to set protection correctly, not a way around an existing restriction.

Which gambling controls carry across brands?

A full self-exclusion and an everyday account limit have different scopes. Flutter’s published matching guidance describes reasonable steps to apply full exclusions to UK accounts with matching details across its named brands, including Betfair, Paddy Power, Sky Betting and Gaming and tombola. It advises arranging the required protection with each relevant brand rather than relying solely on a match.

A Betfair deposit limit or other routine tool does not automatically become the same setting on a Paddy Power account. Sky’s guidance similarly distinguishes its deposit limits, cool-offs and product blocks from full cross-brand exclusion. Check the brand and product covered by the control and keep the confirmation.

An account that remains accessible is not permission to bypass an exclusion. Contact the operator if matching has failed. WildCrown’s responsible-gambling page brings together independent support, including GamCare, when the issue is gambling harm rather than choosing another website.

How to make a meaningful Betfair comparison

Start with the product you use. Paddy Power is the closest operator comparison for Betfair Casino, Sky Vegas offers a different way to search casino games, and tombola changes the emphasis towards bingo and its own game range. None of those distinctions makes a bingo ticket, a slot spin and an Exchange bet equivalent.

Then compare the exact detail that affects the choice. The Betfair Even Bigger Bananas 2 Rapid Fire artwork below and Paddy’s named edition show why a series name is not enough: check the full title and game information. For rewards, compare eligible games, qualifying spend, value per spin and expiry. For a withdrawal, compare the actual payment method and required checks.

The sister-site directory is useful when researching another brand’s family. Its neighbouring entries are not automatically related, and a shared owner alone is not a verdict on payout speed, value or customer service.

FAQ

Is Paddy Power a Betfair sister site?

Yes. Their domains are active under both PPB Entertainment and PPB Counterparty Services in the UKGC register, and both brands belong to Flutter. Sky Vegas and tombola are wider group relatives rather than the same direct operator match.

Who operates the Betfair Exchange in the UK?

TSE Malta LP, under UKGC account 39561. The Sportsbook is assigned to PPB Counterparty Services, account 39439, while Exchange Games is a separate product assigned to PPB Games Limited, account 39411.

Is Betfair Casino a separate sister brand?

No. It is a gaming product within Betfair. Its terms name Betfair Casino Limited or PPB Entertainment Limited as the applicable casino operator. Different products and operating companies do not turn every Betfair tab into another sister website.

Can I use my Paddy Power login at Betfair?

Use the account and login route for the relevant brand. Betfair’s privacy statement allows possible reuse of verification documents supplied to Paddy Power, but that is not a shared-login or shared-wallet arrangement. The PokerStars move to Betfair has separate migration instructions and should not be treated as a rule for Paddy accounts.

Does a Paddy Power account make me a new Betfair bonus customer?

It does not decide eligibility on its own. The specific Betfair offer and your existing Betfair account history matter. Recover an existing account rather than opening a duplicate for a promotion, and distinguish sports offers from casino offers.

Are Exchange Games limits the same as sports limits?

No. Betfair’s help says main sports loss limits do not apply to Exchange Games. Its separate transfer limit counts money moved into the Exchange Games wallet; returning funds to the main wallet does not restore that allowance.
