Background
Paddy Power have been established since 1988 and are currently Ireland’s largest bookmaker. They are best known for their fun, fair and friendly approach to marketing efforts around major sporting events and have a history of paying out on outcomes before an event has even been settled.
Their product offering is generally very good, especially when it comes to football and horse racing. These guys are unafraid of taking a position on a big football or rugby match, especially one concerning England or Ireland where the majority of their customers are based. The Paddy Power money-back specials should also be applauded as they are not just marketing spoofs but provide realistic outcomes, such as get your cashback if Owen scores the last goal for England.
When it comes to novelty markets, Paddy Power is the place to be. This Irish bookmaker does not only offer additional markets on particular football matches such as "will Fergie shake Sven’s hand", but also gives punters a chance to get stuck into the likes of Big Brother, the X Factor and Eurovision.
Their live streaming product is the newest addition aimed at making the customer experience even more exciting. For now the live streams of football matches, tennis tournaments, snooker competitions and basketball games are limited to members residing in the UK & Ireland only, but if we know anything about the guys at Paddy Power, it's that they don't rest on their laurels. We have heard rumours that they might be extending their live streaming service in the near future.
Odds and Markets
The Paddy Power Live Streams are available to all their members accessing the streaming service from within the UK or Ireland.
The quality of the live stream video feed is mostly dependant on your computer's connection to the internet. If possible, make sure you have a broadband connection as slower dial-up connections are not sufficient to provide video streaming.
There are four settings on the Bet and Watch interface which should be tried to determine which provides you with the best video stream. Click on each setting option to identify which setting results in the best video broadcast and give each setting at least two minutes to view the quality.

The Paddy Power website is quick, clean and easy-to-use. They have one of the easiest sign-up processes in the industry and finding your live stream is a pretty straightforward process.

Live Streaming Details
To watch sports streamed live on Paddy Power TV, all you need is a free account with a positive balance. That means you can watch all the live action for free as long as you have at least one penny in your account. The only downside is that if you placed a few bets early in the day and come back to watch a live stream later when your balance is zero, you won't be able to watch the match of your choice.
Catching live action on Paddy Power TV couldn't be easier, but we do have one piece of advice for anyone that wants to give it a go. Make sure you don't accidentally log out of your account while watching a match live if your balance is zero, as you won't be able to resume the stream until you fund your account.
Should you bet on a match after it started and navigate away from it, you will still be able to view it when you go back.
Bet and Watch - Live Horse Racing
The Bet and Watch service for UK and Irish horse racing remains unaffected by thees changes. To watch horse racing live with Paddy Power you still have to place a £1/€1 bet on UK and Irish racing in order to be eligible to watch these races on the website regardless of balance.
Australian Open Live Streaming
It might be a while to go yet, but Paddy Power is now covering the Australian Open on their website, but the process of unlocking the live streams of the first Grand Slam of the tennis season is slightly different to the above:
- Minimium bet €5/£5
- Streaming is based on the court the match you bet on takes place
- If you bet €5/£5 on one match on a particular court you can view ALL matches for that court in that session.
- Multiple bets are based on division of stakes across the number of legs in the multiple.
- For example if you place a £10 double on two games you can watch both games or if you place a £15 treble you will be able to watch all three games. However, if you place a treble for less than £15 (or a double of less than £10) you will not be able to view any matches. An exception to this will be if the selections in your double or treble are playing on the same court - then the minimum stake is £5/€5 for all the matches.
