In order to get started at Paddy Power and enjoy their sports betting you first need to sign up and open an account and of course if you want to place some wagers you will need to deposit some money.

In order to sign up the first thing you should do is follow one of our links to Paddy power and then when you get there you should click on the big banner that says Join Now! It is all fairly self-explanatory from this stage on but you will need to know your personal details.

The first form you fill in is for your personal details with fields such as Title, First Name, Last Name, Email address (very important as this how they stay in touch with you), Date of Birth (you must be over the legal age of gambling in your home country), Language, Country of Residence and your postcode and House Number or Name if you live in the countryside. Once you have entered this information simply click Next Step and here you can confirm your address details along with a phone number.

Now you should have reached the account Details step where you can register your Username and Password. These will be emailed to you but it is always a good idea to keep a note of them – perhaps write them in an email to yourself and flag it so it is never lost. You can also choose your currency and set your security questions.

The final step is the confirmation that you have read their Terms and Conditions, betting Rules and Privacy Policy. We have read these and they are industry standard but definitely recommend that you read them as well. You can also choose whether Paddy Power will be able to contact you with free stuff and promotions and this is completely your call but they are well known for giving out lots of free bets…

Once this is all done you are in and ready to make your first deposit at Paddy Power. Click on the Make a Deposit and Start Betting button and it will take you through to their deposit area where you can see the methods allowed such as Debit Cards, Credit Cards, Virtual Cards, Cash, PayPal, Neteller, Bank Transfer etc…

If you have any problems setting up your account or making a deposit then contact their customer support team who will be only too happy to help – you can chat live to them whilst you are experiencing difficulties which is a great help.
