Paddy Power Casino Licence And UKGC Checks
A search for the Paddy Power casino licence can return betting-shop records, sportsbook permissions and several companies with similar names. Those results do not all authorise the same product. For the online casino in Great Britain, the useful check connects the official Games website to the operator named in its terms, then to an active remote casino permission in the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) public register.
How To Check Paddy Power Casino's Licence
Paddy Power's Additional Gaming Terms identify PPB Entertainment Limited for UK Games. Its UKGC entry records remote Casino and Bingo activities.
| Item to verify | Publicly documented detail |
|---|---|
| Online casino product | Paddy Power Games at games.paddypower.com |
| Operator named for UK Games | PPB Entertainment Limited; Malta company number C39499, as disclosed in Paddy Power's regulatory information |
| UKGC business account | 39426, PPB Entertainment Limited |
| GB remote operating licence | 039426-R-319332-026 |
| Licensed activities | Casino and Bingo, remote |
| Status and date checked | Active in the UKGC public register on 21 October 2026 |
To repeat the check rather than relying on a copied licence number:
- Start with the product. Use Paddy Power's recognised
paddypower.comdomain and its Games service atgames.paddypower.com. Check the full hostname rather than trusting a similar-looking web address. The UKGC's listing ofwww.paddypower.comdoes not, by itself, identify the operator of every subdomain; the product terms provide the next link in the verification chain. - Read the terms. Find the entity responsible for UK Games, not one named only for betting or fantasy products.
- Open the UKGC business record. Match the legal name, account, Remote licence type and Casino activity.
- Check the status and date. An old licence number or screenshot cannot establish current permission.
For UK Live Casino, the terms also name PPB GE Limited alongside PPB Entertainment. The PPB GE register entry lists account 52819, remote licence 052819-R-329340-002, and Active Casino and Bingo permissions in October 2026. Product type therefore matters when identifying a licence holder.
Betting Shop Records Are Not Online Casino Licences
A UKGC premises record relates to an individual physical gambling location. A search result for a Paddy Power shop may show an address and premises details, but it cannot establish that the operator holds permission to offer remote casino games to GB customers. The same caution applies to a non-remote betting permission: Power Leisure Bookmakers Limited, for example, has separate betting and other permissions. Its shop-related record is not the UK Games licence identified above.
Corporate names can mislead in the opposite direction too. PPB Games Limited has its own UKGC account 39411 and an Active remote licence listing Casino and Pool Betting. Yet Paddy Power's product terms distinguish its fantasy or pool-betting role from PPB Entertainment's UK Games role. A company possessing a Casino permission is not, on that fact alone, proven to operate every Paddy Power slot. The deciding evidence is the combination of product terms, legal entity, licence activity and current status.
What A UKGC Licence Does And Does Not Tell You
An Active remote casino licence identifies a legal entity with UKGC permission for a specified GB activity on the date checked, subject to the regulator's conditions. This is more precise than saying Paddy Power is simply “licensed”.
It does not mean every game, promotion or similar-looking website has separate UKGC approval. Nor does it guarantee withdrawals, prevent disputes or establish how customer funds are protected. Those questions require the relevant terms and operator disclosures. Active status is not a guarantee of financial safety.
For an individual complaint, start with Paddy Power support and the operator's published complaints procedure. Paddy Power's dispute resolution information names IBAS as an alternative dispute resolution provider for eligible UK disputes. ADR deals with individual disputes, while UKGC regulatory action concerns compliance. A reported player complaint is not, by itself, a formal finding of wrongdoing. Wider customer feedback is covered in our Paddy Power casino reviews and reputation coverage.
Online gambling at GB-licensed casinos is restricted to adults aged 18 or over. A licence does not remove the need for personal limits and safer gambling controls.
How To Read Regulatory Actions And Licence Status
Regulatory history and current licence status answer different questions. On 17 December 2025, the UKGC announced a regulatory settlement involving £2 million in payments in lieu of a financial penalty following social responsibility and customer interaction failings. The total covered four licensees: PPB Entertainment Limited, PPB Counterparty Services Limited, Betfair Casino Limited and TSE Malta LP. It was not a separate £2 million payment by each company and must not be attributed solely to Paddy Power Casino.
That historic event should be read alongside, but never substituted for, the later register status. PPB Entertainment's relevant remote Casino permission was recorded as Active on 21 October 2026. Equally, a currently Active licence does not erase a documented earlier regulatory failure. When interpreting another headline, identify the exact legal entity, event date, affected activity and outcome before applying it to the casino.
For a broader assessment, return to our Paddy Power Casino review. For the regulatory question, the reliable route remains official product → named operator → UKGC remote Casino activity → dated status. A betting-shop result or a familiar corporate name alone cannot complete that chain.
