To use your free bet on Paddy Power, simply add a selection to your betslip. Once added, click on the toggle alongside ‘Use Available Free Bets’. You will still need to enter the stake for your bet but so long as the stake amount doesn’t exceed your free bet balance, only free bets will be used for your bet.
Next, click the green ‘Place Bet’ button and your bet will be confirmed. You can monitor your open bets in the ‘My Bets’ section once logged into your account.
Paddy Power awards free bets to existing customers on a regular basis. These are usually awarded either when you place a bet on a specific event or when you trigger a money-back offer which Paddy Power run pretty much every week.
Paddy Power Grand National free bet offers are usually available in the lead-up to the event as well as for other major sporting events such as the Cheltenham Festival, the World Cup, Champions League and more.
You can also claim a £10 weekly free bet through the Paddy Power Free Bet Club which is named ‘Paddy’s Rewards Club’. A £10 free bet is available when you place five or more £10 bets throughout the week.
Occasionally, you may find that your Paddy Power free bet isn’t showing. If you believe that you are due a free bet and have checked your account and the free bet isn’t showing, you may need to contact the Paddy Power support team.
If you are claiming a free bet through a Paddy Power promotion, always check that you have met the requirements such as placing a bet at minimum odds, with a minimum stake or on a specific event or market.
If you are due a free bet and it isn’t showing, the Paddy Power support team should be able to credit manually for you. Contact them via live chat for the quickest response.
Unfortunately, you can’t withdraw a Paddy Power free bet directly and must use it to place a bet with. However, you can withdraw any winnings generated from using your free bet. As with all free bets, the free bet stake isn’t included in any returns.
For example, if you used a £10 free bet on a bet with odds of 3/1, if you were placing this bet with cash and it won, you would receive back £40 (£30 winnings + the £10 stake) but when using a free bet, you would receive back £30 as the stake is not returned. Once your bet has settled, you will be able to withdraw any winnings.
Paddy Power are one of the most popular online bookmakers and they offer customers an excellent loyalty scheme which allows you to receive one of up to three rewards each week based on your betting activity.
Paddy’s Rewards Club not only applies to your bets placed on the sportsbook but also on the games, casino and vegas sections along with in-store wagers. We’ll be taking a look at all three areas of Paddy Powers bet club to see what the rewards are and what you need to do to qualify for them each week.
If you don’t yet have a Paddy Power account, you can claim their offer for new customers by clicking on the button below.

First, let’s take a look at the Paddy’s Rewards Club for the sportsbook.
There are three rewards available in the sports loyalty scheme but you can only receive one of them each week. The reward which you receive will depend on your betting activity and specifically, the level of your wagers.
To qualify for any of the rewards, you must opt-in and place bets on sports, lotteries, virtuals or Fantasy contests between Monday and Sunday in any given week. For each bet to qualify towards the promotion, your stakes must be £5 or more and have odds of ½ (1.5) or greater.
As mentioned, you can claim one of three rewards. We’ve listed each of these rewards below.
Reward | Requirement |
1 x Free Power Up | Place 1 bet of £5 or more |
1 x £5 Free Bet + 1 x Power Up | Place 5 bets of £5 or more |
1 x £10 Free Bet + 1 x Power Up | Place 5 bets of £10 or more |
Once you have placed the required number of bets, your free bet and/or Power Up will be credited by midday on the following Monday. Both your free bets and Power Ups are valid until the Sunday after they are issued. If you do not use your rewards before this time, they will be removed from your account. This is currently one of the best weekly free bet offers available.
Paddy Power also offer a rewards scheme for your play in their casino, vegas & games sections. You can claim this reward on top of the sports bonus and the in-store bonus which we will be taking a look at shortly.
Similar to the sports loyalty scheme, there are three rewards available. The reward in which you receive will depend on how much you wager throughout the week from Monday to Sunday.
Qualifying for the rewards is simple. We have listed the requirements for each bonus in the table below.
Reward | Requirement |
10 Free Spins | Wager £25+ across any slots |
20 Free Spins | Wager £50+ across any slots |
1 x £10 Bonus (1 x wagering) | Wager £250+ across any slots |
Just like with the sports rewards, the free spins and the £10 bonus are credited by midday on the following Monday and are valid until midnight on Sunday.
If you receive the 10-20 free spin reward, you can claim your free spins via the promotions page. Paddy Power will give you a list of eligible slots which you can use your free spins on. Any winnings from your free spins will be added to your cash balance and require no more wagering.
If you receive the £10 bonus, this can be used on any casino game and is not limited to slots. You must wager your bonus once and any winnings generated from using it will be added to your cash balance.
You can qualify for the Paddy gaming offer by playing on slots in any of the Casino, Games or Vegas sections.
Last but not least is Paddy’s weekly in-store offer. If you have a Paddy Power shop near you then this offer is definitely worth taking advantage of as it has a lot of value.
To qualify, you simply need to place and track five bets in-store throughout the week. You will then be credited with a free bet to the value of the average stake of your qualifying bets up to a maximum of £25.
For example, if you placed 5 x £25 bets in a Paddy Power shop from Monday to Sunday, you would receive a £25 free bet on the following Monday.
You can track your in-store bets by using ‘Paddy Power Onside’. You have the option to either use Onside via your PC or you can download the Onside app. The app will show you your progress with the reward scheme and let you know how many more bets you need to place to qualify for your free bet. You can also track your bets by entering your phone number into the betting machine in Paddy Power shops.
Similar to the online rewards, each of your qualifying bets must be £5 or more and have odds of ½ (1.5) or greater.
Be aware that you will only be credited with one qualifying bet per day. Therefore, you will need to visit a Paddy Power shop and place a qualifying bet a minimum of five times over 5 days in order to qualify for the free bet.
Power Power do state that you will receive a free bet to the value of the average stake size used across your five qualifying bets. However, there are ranges which affect the size of your free bet which we have listed below.
Another important point to consider is which of your bets in any given day count as the qualifying bet for the day. The terms of the promotion state that for your first four qualifying bets, the bet with the highest stake which has been tracked will count. For your fifth and final qualifying bet, only your first tracked bet of the day will count. This is very important to remember as you could place a £25 bet four days in a row and a £5 initial bet on the fifth day and only be eligible to receive a £5 free bet from the promotion. You can place lower stakes if you wish, just remember to track your larger bets in order to extract the maximum value from the offer.
