Account Verification After Login On Paddy Power
Paddy Power runs checks after you sign in to meet UK and Ireland rules on age verification and anti-money laundering. You can place bets with limited access until the account passes the required checks, and withdrawals can be held until verification is complete.
Verification is triggered when you request a withdrawal, when you hit certain deposit or wagering levels, when account details change (name, address, payment method), or when activity flags a safer-gambling or fraud review. A new device, repeated failed logins, or unusual location patterns can also lead to extra security steps.
- ID: UK/Irish passport, UK/Irish driving licence, or a national identity card (where accepted). Paddy Power may ask for a clear photo of the full document and, in some cases, a selfie or short video to match your face to the ID.
- Address: Recent utility bill, council tax bill, bank or credit card statement, or an official government letter showing your full name and current address. These are typically required to be recent (commonly within the last 3 months).
Paddy Power can also request payment-source checks when card or wallet use needs confirmation. That usually means a photo of the payment card with the middle digits covered (leaving the first 6 and last 4 visible) or evidence the e-wallet account is in your name, plus proof of funds for higher-risk cases.
In practice, most accounts complete basic checks with one ID document and one address document, and withdrawals are released once the review is approved.
