You may play all our games for money. We offer dozens of single-player money tournaments and real-time multiplayer money games. You decide how to play and how much to play for. Tens of thousands of pounds are being won each and every week on PaddyPower Player.
No, it's easy to compete for cash because you can just use your PaddyPower funds. When you enter a tournament the funds are automatically withdrawn from your PaddyPower account.
Yes! Your money is safely held by PaddyPower. When you log out of PaddyPower Player or finish your game-playing session your funds will automatically be transferred back to your PaddyPower account. If a tournament completes and you win a cash prize when you are not logged into PaddyPower Player these funds will be automatically transferred into your PaddyPower account within 24 hours.
You will always be competing against other players from around the world and never against a machine or the "house". We have no vested interest in the outcomes of tournaments or multiplayer games. PaddyPower’s mission is to provide a safe, secure and trusted environment for players to compete fairly against each other. Our enthusiastic online community is a testament to our commitment to fairness.
Player Ratings. Our unique Player Rating System ensures your score in any game is matched only against players of similar skill, protecting beginner "Rookie" players from experienced "Amateur" players and veteran "Pro" players. Score thresholds for our Player Rating System are transparently displayed on each game-specific web page. In multi-player games each player's rating is displayed allowing you to choose who to play (learn more in the detailed FAQ below).
We have several different types of tournament available to play, and are continually inventing fresh tournament types to meet our player's demands. You can check the status of all tournaments entered by selecting the "My Tournaments" option in the homepage menu.
Single Player Tournaments. These tournaments have a limited number of entries (usually between 2 and 8 players competing for the prize) and you always know how much you can win. When all the players have completed their games the prize is awarded to the person or persons with the best score or time.
Whether you're a hardcore or casual gamer, PaddyPower Player endeavours to provide a level playing field of sophisticated and secure online games that are easy to play but hard to master. All PaddyPower Player games account for differing PC hardware setups. Whether you have a monster PC coupled to broadband Internet access or an average desktop PC with dial-up Internet access your gaming experience will be the same as your competitors. As a minimum, however, PaddyPower Player recommends 56k Internet access.
Absolutely. PaddyPower Player players join together to chat, play and compete for cash prizes. Our multi-player games support in-game and lobby chat so you can meet & greet like-minded people online 24hours every day in our safe, secure environment.
PaddyPower Player's Player Rating system is an accurate measure of a player's skill. Only games played for money affect your Player Rating. Every player receives an initial rating of 1500 points. Results from money games played influence this rating up or down depending on whether you've won or lost, your experience (both how many cash games you've played and your aggregate wins/losses) and your opponent's Player Rating.
For example, your rating will go up a lot more if you beat a higher rated opponent than if you beat a lesser rated opponent. Similarly if you lose to a higher rated opponent your rating won't be reduced as much as if you lost to a lesser rated opponent.
All players are rated on a per-game basis, meaning our players have a rating for each and every game recognizing players skilled at Blackjack may be hapless at Gin Rummy!
Each game has a “i” which will bring up the games rules and how to play guides.
You will find the prize amounts clearly displayed on the games page before you enter any competitions.
All our games launch automatically, whether you are playing a free practice game as an unregistered player or entering a money tournament as a cash player. We do not require you to download and install any of our games in advance. If games are not launching you may need to install "Shockwave" or "Flash". Most reasonably modern Personal Computers ("PC's") come with Flash pre-installed. Shockwave is an established "plug-in" used by over 291 million people worldwide (source: Macromedia, December 2003). Check you have the Shockwave Player and the Flash Player and if not simply download for free from www.macromedia.com following the on-screen prompts to install.
Finally, "pop-ups" must be enabled in your Internet Browser to allow our games to automatically launch. Any pop-up blocking software may need to be disabled while playing on PaddyPower Player.

We follow industry-standard procedures in the unlikely event you are disconnected during play. We strive to offer the best Disconnect Protection to our players. Our aim is to protect players while maintaining appropriate checks so that protection is not abused.
What happens if my service is interrupted?
Disconnections can and do occur. Your game will be paused and your opponent notified of your disconnection. Log back into the site and re-enter the game lobby as quickly as possible. You will be directed to rejoin your game table. Click on the flashing "arrow" icon at the bottom-left of the lobby to rejoin your game.
How long do I have to reconnect?
You have two minutes to log back into the site and re-enter the game lobby. This time limit has been imposed in consultation with our players. In the event you do not reconnect within the two minute period your opponent will be deemed the winner and your stake or liability will be forfeited. This policy is in force at the request of our players and prevents the abuse of these disconnection procedures.
What happens if I close the game lobby window?
Closing the game lobby window will close all games tables. Re-enter the game lobby as quickly as possible. Click on the flashing "arrow" icon at the bottom-left of the lobby to rejoin your game.
What happens if I close the game table window?
Close the game table window during play and the game lobby will direct you to rejoin your game table. Click on the flashing icon to rejoin your game.
Disconnection abuse
Our software will detect whether a player had a genuine disconnection. If a player tries to claim Disconnect Protection by simply getting 'timed out', he/she will be deemed to have resigned from the game. Disconnect Protection is not to be used for any purpose other than a genuine disconnection. Any intentional disconnections from the game lobby or game table may result in forfeiture of winnings or expulsion from the site.
Technical issues
In the unlikely event a real money game in progress is cancelled due to technical issues, both players will be automatically refunded their buy-ins, regardless of the players' standing when the game was halted. We reserve the right to render final decisions on all matters herein at our sole discretion. Refunds will be communicated via electronic mail.
