Paddy Power was grounded in 1988 in a merger of three Irish bookmakers. In 2003, a poker room was launched in addition to the sportsbook. After a merger with Betfair in 2016 the company Paddy Power Betfair was formed and is one of the biggest gambling companied in the world today valued over £6 billion.

Paddy Power has during the years been somewhat of a trickster among gambling sites, and have got a lot a publicity with some controversial promotions.

Some voices in other reviews around the web:

"As one of the leading online sportsbooks, Paddy Power brings a host of new players to their poker games. This means soft, beginner friendly games and enough traffic throughout the day." - Pokerstrategy.com about Paddy Power Poker

"Paddy Power is probably my favorite site on the iPoker network. They just bring so much more to the network than just the basics. The fun ethos of the company really is shown through their poker promotions also. I really don’t see what more you can ask for in an iPoker skin." - ipokerskins.com about Paddy Power Poker
