Paddy Power Sister Sites

Does Paddy Power have sister sites?

Short version: yes, but the real picture is narrower than most "sister site" lists make out. Paddy Power isn't a standalone brand and it isn't an offshore outfit chasing UK players from a licence you've never heard of. It's one of the flagship names inside Flutter Entertainment plc, the FTSE-listed group that was formed when Paddy Power and Betfair merged in 2016 and took the Flutter name in 2019. Its closest relative by a distance is Betfair, which runs on the very same UK gambling licence. Everything else you'll see lumped in with it — the Sky brands, tombola — sits elsewhere in the same corporate family, on separate licences. Treating those as interchangeable with Paddy Power is where a lot of write-ups go wrong.

Who actually runs it

Two companies do the work here, and it's worth telling them apart because they hold different kinds of permission from the regulator.

• The casino and bingo you play at paddypower.com are operated by PPB Entertainment Limited, which holds UK Gambling Commission account 39426 for Remote Casino and Remote Bingo — both on the register since 1 November 2014. That same licence record lists Betfair alongside Paddy Power, which is your first clue about how tightly the two brands are tied together.
• The sportsbook side runs through PPB Counterparty Services Limited, UKGC account 39439, which carries the General Betting (Real Event and Virtual Event) permissions.

Both companies are registered in Malta but hold live Great Britain licences, and that GB licence — not the Malta registration — is what lets them take your money legally, apply UK player protections, and answer to the Commission if something goes wrong. In practice this two-company setup means that if you both bet and play casino games from a single Paddy Power login, your activity is spread across two separately licensed entities behind one wallet; it's seamless to use, but it's the reason you'll sometimes see slightly different terms attached to sports and to games.

If you ever want to check the position for yourself, those account numbers are the thing to hold on to — search them on the public register rather than trusting a number quoted on a review site, this one included. Licence records get amended, and the register is the only version that's current.

The verified sister sites

Here's what genuinely shares an operator or a parent with Paddy Power — and, just as usefully, what doesn't sit on the same licence even though it shares the same ultimate owner.

The only brand you can call a true sister with no caveats is Betfair. Its casino and bingo run through the exact same company as Paddy Power's, PPB Entertainment Limited, on the same account — the register even lists both trading names against that one licence. If you already know Paddy Power's casino, you're effectively looking at a differently-dressed version of the same operation when you open a Betfair account.

The Sky brands and tombola are a different matter. They share Paddy Power's ultimate owner, Flutter, and Flutter also owns names like PokerStars and FanDuel that aren't in this UK cluster at all. But Sky Bet and the Sky gaming sites are run by Bonne Terre Gaming Limited under their own account, and tombola runs on its own licence too. So they're worth knowing about as group cousins, but a setting you apply at Paddy Power won't automatically travel to them.

How to tell a real sister from a padded list

A lot of "Paddy Power sister sites" pages inflate their lists by throwing in every Flutter-owned name, or worse, any casino that happens to share a supplier or a look. The reliable test is public and takes no insider knowledge: find the operator's real company name on the site's own regulatory footer, then look that company up on the register. If two brands show the same licensed company and account number, they're genuine siblings sharing infrastructure and, usually, safer-gambling controls. If they only share a parent — like Paddy Power and Sky Bet both rolling up to Flutter — they're related at the top but run separately underneath. And if a "sister" can't be traced to a GB licence at all, that's not a sister site, it's an unlicensed operator you'd have no UK protections with.

What to check before you deposit

Because Paddy Power is a large, mainstream, GB-licensed operator, the checks here are less about "is this a scam" and more about knowing how the family fits together:

• Confirm the licence is live. Open account 39426 on the register and check the status still reads active for the product you're playing. It takes ten seconds and it's the one fact no review can keep permanently up to date for you.
• Understand what a self-exclusion actually covers. Excluding yourself from Paddy Power and Betfair together makes sense because they share an operator, but that won't reach the Sky sites or tombola on their separate licences. If you want a clean break from all of them at once, use the national online self-exclusion scheme, which blocks every GB-licensed operator in one step.
• Treat deposit limits as per-account. A limit you set at Paddy Power applies to that account. Don't assume it silently caps your spending across Betfair or the Sky brands — set each one deliberately.
• Read the bonus terms, not the headline. Wagering requirements, game weightings and time limits are where the real cost of an offer lives. UK rules cap incentive wagering at 10× (from January 2026); anything quoted higher as "current" is out of date.

The verdict

If your question was "does Paddy Power have sister sites and who's behind it," the answer is clean: it's a Flutter Entertainment brand, its casino and bingo are run by PPB Entertainment Limited on UKGC account 39426, and its one true sister is Betfair, which sits on the same licence. Sky Bet, Sky Vegas and tombola are relatives further out — same owner, different operators, different licences — so plan your limits and exclusions accordingly rather than assuming one setting covers the lot. As mainstream UK gambling goes this is about as transparent and well-regulated as the market gets, but "well-regulated" isn't the same as "risk-free" — set your limits before you play, not after.
