Is Betfair the same company as Paddy Power?
Both belong to Flutter, and their UK connection goes further than that parent company. The PPB Entertainment domain record lists paddypower.com and betfair.com as active. PPB Counterparty Services lists both too, establishing shared gaming and sportsbook operators.
The distinction matters when choosing a comparable product. Betfair Casino is the relevant comparison for Paddy Power Games; the Betfair Exchange is a different betting product operated by TSE Malta LP, UKGC account 39561. A sister brand can contain services that are not provided by the same company.
| Sister brand | Connection | What changes for a Paddy Power user |
|---|---|---|
| Betfair | Shared UK gaming and sportsbook operators within Flutter | A different casino lobby, branded game editions and Prize Pinball rewards |
| Sky Vegas | Wider Flutter group through Sky Betting and Gaming | Casino-focused browsing and Sky-specific account and promotion rules |
| tombola | Wider Flutter group with its own operator | Bingo rooms, in-house games and optional arcade play alongside bingo |
Betfair for comparing live casino tables

For someone who uses Paddy’s live blackjack or roulette, Betfair Casino is the closest starting point. The inspected image shows a dark lobby with rows of dealer thumbnails and table categories, surrounded by Betfair’s yellow branding. Paddy’s retained blackjack image further down this guide instead shows an individual green-branded table. The difference is between choosing a table and seeing the game once opened.
Betfair’s official app listing includes live roulette, blackjack and baccarat alongside slots, Slingo and instant-win games. That gives a Paddy Games user a comparable product range. However, matching a game family is only the first step: the exact edition, table rules and stake range decide whether it is the same practical choice. The casino should not be confused with Betfair’s sports Exchange.
Prize Pinball is another concrete difference. Betfair describes its standard version as a daily free-to-play promotion, with its own prize conditions. Paddy’s Wonder Wheel winnings do not become Betfair rewards. For a reader comparing the two, the expiry window and eligible game attached to the reward are more useful details than the different wheel and pinball artwork.
Sky Vegas for a casino-first layout

Sky Vegas is a wider Flutter sister rather than another Paddy Power product. Its publisher image shows a white-and-red screen with game tiles above a Prize Machine panel and an Original Slots row below. This is a different browsing emphasis from moving between Paddy’s Sports, Games and Live Casino areas: the visible choices stay centred on casino games and their promotions.
The product range still extends beyond slots to live roulette, blackjack and game shows. Its ordinary Prize Machine has no staking requirement for an eligible, opted-in customer. The separately advertised Mega Prize Machine has a spending condition, so the word “Prize Machine” alone is not enough to identify which promotion is being discussed.
Sky’s account rules are also specific. Its welcome-offer help treats an existing Sky Bet, Sky Vegas, Sky Poker, Sky Bingo or Sky Casino customer as an existing Sky Betting and Gaming customer. Someone who already uses Sky Bet therefore does not become a new customer simply by opening the Vegas tab. This is a defined Sky account boundary, not a rule that every Flutter customer has one shared account.
tombola for bingo with a different game range

tombola makes the most substantial product change in this selection. Its own-developed range includes bingo90, bingo75 Lines and bingo60, with chat built into the experience. A Paddy user looking for bingo rooms has a different reason to consider it from someone seeking another live blackjack lobby or the same third-party slot.
The inspected image pairs a numbered bingo90 ticket with Hula Hook reels on a teal background. tombola’s Game-in-Game guide explains the arrangement: supported bingo rooms can keep the bingo game visible above an arcade game selected from the waiting-room menu. The arcade stake is set separately. It is an optional second game, not a free addition to a ticket or a single combined wager.
tombola’s agreement covers its bingo and arcade services and allows one personal account. That combined experience belongs within tombola; it does not connect a Paddy Power wallet to the bingo tickets. For a reader choosing between them, room format and the in-house catalogue are the meaningful differences, rather than simply the shared Flutter name.
Where Sky Bet and PokerStars fit in the family
Flutter’s portfolio includes Sky Betting and Gaming as well as Paddy Power, Betfair and tombola. Sky Bet is relevant to a sportsbook comparison, while Sky Vegas is the casino comparison above. Our Flutter guide explains the wider group without treating every product as a separate casino operator.
PokerStars needs a dated explanation. Its UK service moved to Betfair on 7 October 2026: poker continues through PokerStars on Betfair, while Betfair’s casino and sportsbook replace those former UK products. It should not be presented as another standalone UK casino beside Betfair. The Betfair guide covers the account-migration instructions and the old cashier deadline.
Does an existing account settle bonus eligibility?
Eligibility belongs to the named offer. On 29 October 2026, Paddy’s UK welcome-offer page described code PGGTV1 for new UK and Ireland Paddy Power customers: 70 spins at 10p, followed by a separate opt-in, deposit-and-bet £10 stage for another 100 spins. Age verification is required. The later stage requires a qualifying deposit of at least £10 in one transaction using debit card, Pay by Bank or Apple Pay.
The initial spins expire after seven days and lock to the first eligible game used. Spin winnings have no further wagering requirement under this offer. Seventy 10p spins represent £7 of game stakes, not £7 of withdrawable cash; the additional 100 are conditional, not part of the initial award. Extra stakes for The Big Drop do not count towards the qualifying wager.
An existing Betfair account is a different question from an existing Paddy account. Paddy’s standard promotion rules restrict participation by customer and shared identifiers, and the individual offer takes precedence. A new email address does not make an existing Paddy customer new again. Sports bets, live tables and slot stakes should only be counted where the particular promotion permits them.
How do daily rewards compare?
Paddy’s Wonder Wheel is a daily chance-based promotion for eligible, fully verified adult customers who have not been excluded from promotions. Prizes can include cash, spins, Games bonuses or scratchcards. A reward does not guarantee a cash win, and different prize types have different conditions.
The useful comparison is what happens after a prize is awarded. Wonder Wheel spins have a two-hour use window, while its Games bonus has a 1× wagering requirement. A £1 Games bonus therefore requires £1 of qualifying play before any remaining winnings can be withdrawn; it is not the same as receiving £1 cash. Short expiry is a condition to understand, not a reason to play longer than intended.
| Promotion | Spin reward rule | Practical difference |
|---|---|---|
| Paddy’s Wonder Wheel | 10p spins; first eligible game locks them in; use within two hours | A longer welcome-offer expiry does not apply to these daily-reward spins |
| Betfair Prize Pinball | Betfair help says some spin rewards expire in as little as two hours | Use the expiry attached to the awarded prize, rather than assuming every reward lasts a week |
| Sky Vegas Prize Machine | Claim prize first; spins load on the first eligible game and expire after seven days | Claiming and choosing an eligible game are separate steps from winning the prize |
Can the brands share account checks or support?
There is a documented link in identity checks. Section 3.2.2 of Betfair’s UKI privacy statement says documents previously supplied to Paddy Power may be used when verifying a new Betfair account, and vice versa. The policy describes possible document reuse between brand accounts. It does not describe one interchangeable login or a merged balance.
Paddy’s privacy statement also sets a scope for requests concerning its named companies; other group brands have their own statements. A request for personal records is therefore different from asking support about a game round or missing withdrawal. Identify the affected brand and the records or transaction involved so the request reaches the relevant team.
For an existing account, use that brand’s account-recovery process. For a payment issue, retain the amount, method, date and transaction reference. A corporate connection can explain why verification information is shared, but the case still needs to identify which account holds the money.
Are withdrawals different at Paddy Power and Betfair?
Their published card windows are alike: both help centres quote 1–4 hours for eligible instant card withdrawals and 2–5 working days for standard card withdrawals. These are operator estimates, not timings measured through our own accounts. The evidence does not support choosing Betfair over Paddy Power simply because someone calls it a faster-paying sister.
Paddy’s withdrawal help identifies account verification, returning funds through the deposit method where required, and cards that cannot receive withdrawals as possible obstacles. Its cashier separates popular methods from other options such as e-wallets. The method available to that account matters more than the logo on the casino.
For a missing standard card payment, Paddy asks customers to allow the stated working-day window, excluding bank holidays, before following up. Keep the transaction reference and request help from the brand that processed it. Opening an account at a sister site does not resolve a withdrawal already pending elsewhere.
Which UK companies run each product?
Paddy’s general and additional gaming terms assign Games and Live Casino separately. The UKGC register supplies the licensee records. The addresses below identify those products; they do not turn every subdomain into a different sister brand.
| Brand or product | Product address | Relevant UK entity and account | Scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy Power Games | games.paddypower.com | PPB Entertainment Limited 39426 | Paddy Power gaming product |
| Paddy Power Live Casino | livecasino.paddypower.com | PPB GE Limited 52819 / PPB Entertainment Limited 39426 | Both entities named in the UK live-casino terms |
| Paddy Power sports betting | www.paddypower.com | PPB Counterparty Services Limited 39439 | Betting on real and virtual events |
| Betfair | www.betfair.com | Shared records: PPB Entertainment 39426 / PPB Counterparty 39439 | Sister brand; individual product assignments still apply |
| Betfair Exchange | www.betfair.com | TSE Malta LP 39561 | Sister-brand betting-intermediary product |

Games, Live Casino and Betfair are different choices
Moving from Paddy Games to a Paddy live table changes the product within the brand. Moving to Betfair Casino changes the brand. Moving from Paddy’s fixed-odds sports betting to Betfair Exchange changes both the brand and the way the betting product operates. Those are three different comparisons.
The retained publisher image shows a dealer, cards and player controls at a green Paddy Power blackjack table. The separate menu image shows several roulette variants. For someone comparing games, the exact table and its rules matter more than an overall claim that two sites both have live casino.
For a disputed round, record the game name, round reference, time and product address. That allows support to identify the session and applicable conditions when more than one company appears in the terms. Our operator-check guide explains how product information and company records fit together.

Which controls cover sister brands and betting shops?
Paddy’s UK temporary self-exclusion guidance includes Betfair and the wider Flutter family, including Sky Betting and Gaming and tombola. A sister-site guide is not a route around that protection. If a related account remains accessible, report it to support and arrange the coverage required rather than continuing to gamble.
Routine tools have a different scope. Clause 20.13 distinguishes a Paddy deposit limit, product exclusion or reality check from a full exclusion: those settings do not automatically carry to Betfair, Sky Betting and Gaming or Paddy retail. Set the required controls on each relevant account.
The online self-exclusion facility excludes Paddy Power betting shops. Section 6 of the shop rules provides a separate retail process, including help from shop staff. Someone who uses both channels needs protection covering both. Our responsible-gambling page provides support information.

What makes a useful Paddy Power comparison?
Start with the change you actually want to understand: another live-casino lobby, a casino-focused interface, or bingo rooms with different games. The three sister reviews answer those different needs. Their shared ownership explains the connection; their products, promotion conditions and account arrangements explain the choice.
The sister-site directory separates other brand families, while our guide to what a casino sister site means explains direct operators, wider ownership and same-brand products. Keep those categories distinct when comparing a longer list.
FAQ
What is Paddy Power's closest verified sister brand?
Betfair. Both brands appear in the PPB Entertainment and PPB Counterparty Services domain records and belong to Flutter. Sky Vegas and tombola have a wider group connection, rather than being additional Paddy Power products.
Does Flutter own Paddy Power?
Yes. Paddy Power is a Flutter brand. Its UK services are assigned to operating companies including PPB Entertainment, PPB Counterparty Services and PPB GE, depending on the product. The parent group and the company providing a particular game are different levels of the relationship.
Are Paddy Power Games and Live Casino separate sister sites?
No. They are products within Paddy Power. Different game menus, subdomains and product terms do not make them separate sister brands. Betfair Casino is a cross-brand comparison; a Paddy live table is a same-brand product choice.
Can I use my Betfair account at Paddy Power?
Use the account and recovery process for the brand involved. The documented connection allows possible reuse of verification documents between Paddy Power and Betfair; it does not establish an interchangeable login or a shared wallet. Recover an existing Paddy account rather than opening a duplicate.
Does having a Betfair account stop me receiving a Paddy Power bonus?
The particular offer’s eligibility rules decide this. The welcome offer reviewed here is for new Paddy Power customers, with customer and shared-identifier restrictions also applying. Holding a Betfair account alone does not establish entitlement, and an existing Paddy customer cannot become new by registering again.
Can I join Betfair after self-excluding from Paddy Power?
No. Paddy’s UK self-exclusion guidance includes Betfair among the related brands covered. Do not use another brand to get around that restriction. Tell support if a related account remains accessible and ask for the protection to be applied correctly.
Does online self-exclusion automatically cover Paddy Power shops?
No. Paddy’s online terms exclude retail from that facility. Use the separate retail self-exclusion process in the shop rules, with assistance from staff where needed, to extend protection to betting shops.
