Your data and your play are protected by four technical layers at Paddy Power: encrypted connections, strict data handling under GDPR, independently audited random number generation and tools that lock down your own account. This page covers what those layers do and what you can switch on yourself.
We keep the technical stack separate from other topics on purpose. Licensing and identity checks have their own explanations, so here we stay with the machinery: how information travels, how it is stored, how game outcomes are produced and how you keep strangers out of your login.
You must be 18 or over to play with us. Security is not only about servers; it also covers using the site in a way that keeps gambling under control, which we come back to at the end.
Data protection and GDPR at Paddy Power
We handle personal information under UK data protection law, which is built on the principles of GDPR: collect only what is needed, use it for stated purposes, keep it secure and respect your rights over it. Our operating company is PPB GE Limited, and it is responsible for how your details are processed.
- Purpose limitation: your details are used to run your account, process payments and meet our legal obligations.
- Security of storage: access to personal data is restricted to the people and systems that genuinely need it.
- Your rights: you can ask what we hold about you, request corrections and raise concerns about how your data is used.
Payment details deserve a special mention. Card and bank information is only ever sent over the encrypted channel described above. For a rundown of the ways to fund your account, see our Paddy Power payments page.
Random number generation and game fairness
Every spin of a slot and every virtual card or number is decided by a random number generator (RNG), software that produces outcomes with no pattern a player or the casino could predict or steer. The result of one spin has no memory of the last, which is why a slot is never "due" a win.
Audited RTP, not guesswork
Each game has a theoretical return to player (RTP), the share of stakes it is designed to pay back over a vast number of rounds. These figures are set by the studio and checked through independent testing, rather than being adjusted by us on the fly. RTP is a long-run average, so any single session can land well above or below it.
Studios behind the maths
Our games come from established developers including Playtech, Big Time Gaming, Blueprint, Elk Studios, Netent, Nolimit City and Pragmatic Play. Live tables from Evolution use real dealers and physical equipment, so fairness there rests on the live process rather than software alone. Each studio's catalogue is covered in our Paddy Power game providers guide.
