Paddy Power – never ones to take themselves too seriously

Paddy Power is everything an online bookmaker should be – not afraid to be different, not afraid to have some of the best bookmakers offers in the industry, and not afraid to push the boundaries and land themselves in hot water!

The list of risque advertising goes on and includes controversial adverts that were subsequently banned, sponsoring footballers to wear ‘Paddy Power’s Lucky Pants’ against FIFA regulations at the Euro championships, buying advertising space in the field that is a backdrop to the Cheltenham festival and erecting ‘Paddy Power’ in Hollywood style letters as the backdrop to the Cheltenham festival. They even staged and sponsored an athletics event in London, France to coincide with the London Olympics so they could advertise they were the official sponsors of the ‘largest athletics event in London’…

Nothing caused more of an uproar than Paddy Power’s betting market – whether Barack Obama would serve a second term. The market was widely seen as little to do with politics and more to see if Barack Obama would meet the same unfortunate end as JFK. They were the only online bookmaker to offer such a market!

Paddy Power is a breath of fresh air in the world of online bookmakers. It says something about a company who is willing to laugh in the face of people it believes take themselves too seriously.

Founded in 1988 by merging 40 shops of 3 prominent Irish bookmakers and combining one of the names ‘Power’ with the colour green and forename ‘Paddy’ – both due to their Irish heritage, they went on to acquire a third of the Irish betting market. They subsequently instilled ‘Paddy Power’ the son of original Power bookmakers founder ‘David Power’ as spokesman. This incorrectly gives the feel of a small independent bookmaker named ‘Paddy Power’ who has grown a brand from scratch. Paddy Power himself can be regularly heard in Paddy Power shops as an official spokesman for the firm. A further example of excellent marketing at work!

Paddy Power floated on the London Stock Exchange in 2005, which funded an expansion in to the UK and further expansion of the Paddy Power website. They have continued to grow, and their alternative take on the world of online bookmakers means customers are set to benefit from their industry leading bookmakers offers, money back, competitive odds and the widest range of bets across any of the online bookmakers.
