Visit Paddy Power

Paddy Power tennis betting sits at the heart of one of Britain’s most recognisable sportsbooks — a brand built on irreverence, bold promotions and genuinely deep markets. Whether you’re backing a Wimbledon favourite outright or chasing in-play value on a set winner at Roland Garros, Paddy Power covers ATP, WTA, Challenger and ITF events year-round, with regular Price Boosts on headline matches and the #WhatOddsPaddy custom-bet tool that lets you request markets that don’t yet exist. Paddy’s Rewards Club adds a weekly free bet and a Power Up odds boost for active bettors, while the Paddy Power app is among the most downloaded and highest-rated in the UK.

In this Paddy Power review we examine the breadth of the tennis markets, weigh the odds against rivals and take an honest look at live streaming — an area where bet365’s dedicated coverage sets a bar Paddy Power doesn’t quite match. We also cover payments, the mobile app, customer support and the promotions that genuinely add value for tennis punters, so you can decide whether Paddy Power belongs in your rotation across the Slams and beyond.

Tennis betting markets

Paddy Power fields tennis markets across all four Grand Slams plus weekly ATP and WTA events, the Davis Cup and Challenger-level tournaments — coverage that eclipses most mid-tier rivals. Standard pre-match options include match winner, set betting, correct score by sets, total sets odd/even, first-set winner and outright winner, with games and sets handicaps on higher-profile fixtures.

In-play depth is a strength: set-by-set markets, current-game betting and live Bet Builder options refresh quickly during matches. The #WhatOddsPaddy tool on X is a useful escape valve, letting you request bespoke combinations when the listed markets don't quite match your angle.

Odds & value

Paddy Power's tennis odds sit broadly at the market median — not the standout value of a sharp exchange-model book, but not behind the high-street pack either. Price Boosts appear regularly on big-match tennis, particularly during the Grand Slams, and can push selected prices meaningfully above the going rate.

The Paddy's Rewards Club Power Up token delivers a personalised odds boost each week, which adds real value for regulars. The one gap is that Best Odds Guaranteed applies to horse racing only, so there's no opening-price protection on tennis.

Best Odds Guaranteed Price boosts Acca Insurance on 5+ leg accas (incl. tennis); Paddy’s Rewards Club Power Up weekly odds boost

Live streaming

Paddy Power offers live streaming on selected tennis events — coverage appears via the play icon in the in-play section, on desktop and the app, at no extra charge provided your account is funded. It's more than adequate for weekly ATP, WTA, Challenger and ITF matches.

The honest caveat is the Grand Slams: UK streaming rights for the Majors sit with broadcast partners (Sky Sports, Amazon Prime), so you won't watch Wimbledon or the US Open through Paddy Power. For sheer tennis streaming depth, bet365's ATP/WTA deal holds a structural edge.

Mobile app

iOS 4.7/5 Android 4.4/5

The Paddy Power app is among the best-rated in UK bookmaking — over 240,000 iOS reviews averaging 4.7, and 40,000-plus Android reviews around 4.4. The layout mirrors the desktop site closely: sports are logically structured, the in-play hub refreshes quickly, and live streaming runs smoothly alongside real-time odds.

Tennis punters will find the Favourites function handy for pinning tournaments or players, and full cash out plus Bet Builder are available in-app. One minor note: the live-chat support entry isn't the easiest to locate within the app.

Payment methods

Paddy Power's payment suite covers the major UK methods: Visa and Mastercard debit, PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, Apple Pay, MuchBetter, Paysafecard and Pay by Bank — credit cards are blocked under UKGC rules. The £5 minimum deposit on cards and Apple Pay is among the lowest around.

E-wallet withdrawals via PayPal, Skrill and Neteller typically land within four hours; debit-card withdrawals take 1–3 working days, and bank transfer can stretch to five. Pay by Bank becomes near-instant after a first-use verification.

Platform & providers

Paddy Power's sportsbook is built in-house by Flutter Entertainment's technology division, sharing infrastructure with sister brands Betfair and Sky Bet. The result is a polished, stable product: the trading engine handles high-volume in-play tennis without obvious latency, odds update quickly and the Bet Builder integrates cleanly with the bet slip.

Streaming is delivered through third-party rights partnerships, and odds can be toggled between fractional and decimal.

Customer support

Paddy Power offers 24/7 support via live chat, a free UK phone line and @AskPaddyPower on X. Live chat is the fastest route to a human agent and usually connects within a minute outside peak hours, though an initial bot layer can be mildly frustrating for specific queries.

The @AskPaddyPower account has a genuine track record of responsive public replies and is a useful fallback. Some users report longer waits during major events — a common industry limitation rather than a Paddy Power-specific failing.

Our verdict

Paddy Power is a compelling pick for UK tennis punters who want a deep market offering, a top-tier app and a loyalty scheme that rewards consistent betting rather than just sign-up activity. The combination of in-play breadth, Bet Builder, Price Boosts and Paddy's Rewards Club gives regulars genuine ongoing value beyond the welcome offer. The honest gap is live streaming: if watching Grand Slam matches while you bet matters, bet365's rights portfolio wins out. But for weekly ATP and WTA betting — and for anyone who enjoys building custom markets via #WhatOddsPaddy — Paddy Power is hard to look past.

Best for: Active UK tennis bettors who want a high-quality app, regular promotions and in-play depth across the full tour calendar Watch: No Grand Slam streaming, and Best Odds Guaranteed is horse-racing only

Paddy Power FAQs

Does Paddy Power offer live streaming for tennis?
Yes — Paddy Power streams selected ATP, WTA, Challenger and ITF matches live, from the website or app, provided your account is funded or you've placed a recent bet. The limitation is the Grand Slams: UK rights for Wimbledon, the Australian Open, French Open and US Open sit with Sky Sports and Amazon Prime, so those matches aren't streamed by Paddy Power.
What tennis betting markets does Paddy Power offer?
Paddy Power covers match winner, set betting, correct score by sets, total sets (including odd/even), first-set winner, outrights and handicaps on both sets and games. In-play, you can bet game by game on major fixtures, and the Bet Builder combines selections within a match. The #WhatOddsPaddy tool on X also lets you request custom markets.
How does Paddy’s Rewards Club work for tennis betting?
It rewards you weekly based on qualifying bets (min odds 1/2) placed Monday to Sunday. Place five or more £10 bets and you get a £10 free bet plus a Power Up odds-boost token the following Monday. Tennis bets qualify, and the Power Up can be applied to eligible tennis markets.
Is Paddy Power licensed and safe in the UK?
Yes. Paddy Power holds a UK Gambling Commission licence (Power Leisure Bookmakers Ltd, reference 39426) and is operated by Flutter Entertainment plc, one of the world's largest listed betting companies. Customer funds are held in a trust account at the UKGC's higher protection level.
Does Paddy Power offer Acca Insurance on tennis?
Yes — Acca Insurance applies to pre-match accumulators and Bet Builders of five or more legs across all sports, including tennis. If one leg lets you down, you get your stake back as a free bet. Horse racing is excluded, but tennis accas qualify in full.
