Additional World Cup Promotions
Paddy Power offers a free bet builder for every England game, with values ranging from £0.50 to £50 per customer. Bet builders must include at least three legs and minimum odds of 2/1. Power Prices provide enhanced odds on selected markets, available via the site and app.
The 2UP promotion pays out bets in full if a backed team goes two goals ahead at any point, regardless of the final result. The Super Sub offer allows bets on a player (e.g., first goalscorer, to be carded) to carry over to their replacement if substituted.
