Cookies

What this page covers

Small text files called cookies are placed on your phone, tablet or computer when you visit our site. They remember things about you so the casino works properly and so we can see how it is used. Similar technologies, such as pixels and local storage, do the same job, and when we say 'cookies' here we mean those too.

PPB GE Limited operates Paddy Power Casino under licence number 52819, issued by the UK Gambling Commission. We are the controller of the cookie data described below. Everything on this page is written for players in the UK, aged 18 or over.

Giving, changing and withdrawing consent

On your first visit a banner asks which optional categories you accept. You can accept all, reject all or choose category by category. Refusing optional cookies never stops you playing.

Changed your mind? Reopen the cookie settings link in the footer at any time and update your choices. Withdrawing consent applies from that moment on; it does not undo anything already done with your data beforehand. We will ask you again if we introduce new types of cookie or after a long period without a response.

Personal data and keeping in touch

Some cookie data can identify a device or browser, which makes it personal data. How we store, use and protect it, and the rights you hold over it, are set out in our Privacy Policy. For questions that neither page answers, use the details on our contact page.

We may revise this Cookie Policy when our cookies or the law change. The current version always sits here, so look back now and then. Gambling should stay enjoyable; if it stops being so, GamCare offers free, confidential support on 0808 8020 133 or at https://www.gamcare.org.uk.

The cookies we set, and why

We group our cookies into four categories. Strictly necessary cookies are always on, because without them you could not log in or play. The other three only run if you agree. The durations below are typical; the exact lifespan of an individual cookie can differ slightly.

Third-party cookies

Not every cookie comes from us directly. Some are set by partners whose tools run on our pages, for example analytics and advertising providers. Our game suppliers may also place technical cookies inside their own games so that a session loads and runs correctly. These partners decide how their own cookies behave, so check their privacy notices if you want the detail.

Controlling cookies in your browser

Every major browser lets you view, block and delete cookies. Look in the settings or privacy menu, usually under 'Cookies' or 'Site data'. You can block all cookies, block only third-party ones, or clear everything when you close the browser.

Be aware of the trade-off. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break log-in, deposits and gameplay on our site. Deleting cookies also wipes your saved choices, so the consent banner will appear again on your next visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to accept cookies to play at Paddy Power?

Only the strictly necessary ones, because they run log-in, security and payments. Functional, analytics and marketing cookies are optional, and you can decline them without losing access to any game or feature.

How do I withdraw my cookie consent?

Open the cookie settings link in our site footer and switch off the categories you no longer want. You can also clear cookies in your browser. Either way, the change takes effect straight away.

How long do your cookies stay on my device?

It depends on the type. Session cookies vanish when you close your browser, while others last from a few months up to about two years. The table above gives typical durations for each category.

Will blocking cookies in my browser affect my account?

It can. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop you logging in, depositing or playing. Blocking optional ones only reduces personalisation and our ability to measure how the site performs.
