Paddypower Sister Sites
Paddypower sister sites explained for UK players: what a sister site is, how to check a UKGC licence, and what to compare before you open another account.

Rules that apply to every site in a group
A real sister site shares the operator and the UKGC licence of Paddy Power Casino, not just a similar look or the same software. This page shows how to tell the difference, which UK rules follow you between sites, and how to check any licence yourself before you register.
A sister site is a casino or betting site run by the same company under the same gambling licence. For a player in the UK that matters far more than the logo or the colour scheme, because the licence decides which rules the site has to follow. Every site that accepts UK players must hold a licence from the UK Gambling Commission, and the licence number should be printed in the footer and be findable in the public UKGC register. If you cannot find it, that alone is a good reason to stop and go back to a site where you can.
| Regulator | UKGC |
|---|---|
| Licence number | In the UKGC register |
| Self-exclusion scheme | GAMSTOP |
| Minimum age | 18+ |
| Card payments | Debit card only |
| Slot stake, ages 25+ | £5 maximum |
| Slot stake, ages 18-24 | £2 maximum |
| Currency | Pounds (£) |
These rules are not a perk of one brand. They come with the UK licence, so you should see the same picture on any properly licensed site you open, whoever owns it. Cards that run on borrowed money are banned for gambling in the UK, so deposits are made with a debit card or another allowed method. The slot stake limits of £5 for players aged 25 and over and £2 for those aged 18 to 24 apply in the same way. If a site tells you something different, it is not following UK rules.
Self-exclusion works across the whole market too. GAMSTOP is the national scheme, and licensed UK sites must take part in it, so one registration blocks you everywhere, not only on the site where you first felt you needed a break. If you want to know how this works with Paddy Power Casino specifically, read Can I self-exclude from Paddypower? and the Safer Gambling page, which also lists BeGambleAware and GamCare for free, confidential support.
Why players search for sister sites
Nobody types a query like this for no reason. Most people are curious about what else sits in the same group, want a second opinion on a game library, or simply wonder whether the same company offers something with a different feel. That is a perfectly normal question, and the useful answer is not a list of names but a method for telling what is really connected and what only looks similar.
A different game mix
Some players want a bigger choice of slots, live tables or game shows than they currently see, and wonder if a related site has it.
Another bonus structure
Offers change from site to site. Comparing the wagering, the time limit and the games that count is sensible before you accept any of them.
Payment preferences
Not every site supports every method. Players check which debit cards, e-wallets and bank options each cashier accepts.
Curiosity about the group
People like to know who stands behind the brand, how big the company is and whether the same team handles support.
A new interface
Navigation, search and mobile layout differ a lot. Some players simply want a site that feels easier to use on a phone.
Whatever the motive, remember that you do not need a second account to enjoy the games on Paddy Power Casino. The slots lobby, the live casino and the game shows are all available from one account, and the current promotions are listed in one place with their terms.
If you are looking for another site because you have set a limit or started a self-exclusion, please do not. GAMSTOP and your own limits are there to protect you. Talk to GamCare or BeGambleAware instead.
Who is behind Paddy Power Casino
Every licensed UK casino has a named company behind it, called the licence holder or operator. That company, not the brand name on the homepage, is what the regulator licenses and what you enter into an agreement with when you register. The brand is the shopfront; the operator is the legal entity that runs the account, holds your money, applies the terms and answers to the UKGC.
The easiest way to see who stands behind the brand is to read what the site itself says. The footer normally carries the company name, the regulator and the licence number, and the Terms & Conditions name the contracting company in the opening lines. Those two places are enough for a first check, and the FAQ covers the everyday questions about accounts and withdrawals.
-
1
Open the footer
Scroll to the bottom of the page and note the company name, the regulator and the licence number shown there.
-
2
Read the terms
Open the Terms & Conditions and find the company that the agreement is made with. The name should match the footer.
-
3
Search the register
Enter the licence number or company name in the UKGC public register and confirm the licence is active.
-
4
Compare the names
If the company name and number agree in all three places, you have found the real operator.
Real sister sites: same operator, same licence
A genuine sister site has the same licence holder as the brand you already know. Practically, that means the footer of both sites shows the same company, the same regulator and the same licence number, and the UKGC register lists them under one licence. When all of that lines up, you can say with confidence that the two sites are part of one group, no matter how different they look.
- The licence number is identical and appears in the UKGC register.
- The company named in the terms is the same legal entity.
- Safer gambling tools and GAMSTOP participation work the same way.
- The support team and complaints process are run by the same operator.
- The rules on debit cards, stake limits and age checks match UK requirements.
Being in the same group can be convenient. Verification and responsible gambling standards are set at company level, so the experience tends to feel consistent from one site to the next. It also means a clear route for complaints: you deal with one operator, and if you are unhappy with the outcome you can use the dispute resolution route named in the terms.
| Strengths | Worth knowing |
|---|---|
| One licence holder and one set of UK rules | Game libraries can overlap more than you expect |
| Consistent safer gambling tools and limits | Offers may be similar rather than truly different |
| A single complaints route if something goes wrong | |
| Familiar payment methods in pounds |
Same platform, different operator
Many casinos run on software supplied by a third-party platform provider. Two sites can share the same lobby layout, menus and even game catalogue while being owned by completely separate companies. This is the most common reason people think two brands are related when they are not. A matching look is a hint about software, never proof about ownership.
| Check | Same operator | Same platform only |
|---|---|---|
| Licence holder | Identical | Different |
| Licence number | Identical | Different |
| Terms | Shared company | Own company |
| Support team | Same | Separate |
| Layout and games | May match | May match |

The last row is the trap. Layout and game choice can match in both cases, so only the first four rows tell you whether two sites are genuinely connected.
When the operator is different, nothing about your Paddy Power Casino account carries across. Different terms apply, different bonus conditions apply and a different company holds your funds. That is not a problem in itself, but you should read the new terms in full and treat the site as a fresh start, not as an extension of something you already know.
Before you trust a similar-looking site, ask one question: whose name is on the licence? If it is not the same company, it is not a sister site.
Comparing five sites: the five checks
People often want a ranking of five sites. A fair comparison is not possible from a name alone, and a list of brands would age within weeks as operators change. A better approach is to run the same five checks on every site you consider, including this one. They take a few minutes and work for any UK-facing casino.
| Check | Where to look | Good sign |
|---|---|---|
| Licence number | Footer | Matches register |
| Operator name | Terms | Named company |
| Safer gambling | Account menu | Limits, GAMSTOP |
| Payments | Cashier | Debit card, £ |
| Bonus terms | Promotions page | Clear wagering |
Swipe sideways to see all columns
Score each site yes or no on every row. A site that cannot answer the first two rows clearly is not worth a deposit, however good its welcome offer looks.
For payments, open the cashier and look at what is actually offered before you register anywhere. The deposit guide explains the options at Paddy Power Casino, and the same questions apply elsewhere: are amounts shown in pounds, is a debit card accepted, and are the minimums and withdrawal times stated plainly? Clear answers are a sign of a well-run site.
For bonuses, compare the wagering requirement, the time limit, the maximum bet while the bonus is active and the list of games that count towards it. A headline figure says little without those details. Read the promotions page terms carefully, since the same advertised amount can be easy or hard to turn into withdrawable cash depending on the conditions.
What changes when you switch site
Moving to another site is not like switching tabs. Even inside one group, some things carry over and some start again. Knowing the difference before you move saves a lot of surprise, particularly around limits and verification, which exist to keep your play under control.
| Item | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Account | Existing login | New registration |
| Identity checks | Completed | Often repeated |
| Deposit limits | Your settings | Set again |
| Bonus history | Used offers | New terms |
| Game history | Saved | Starts fresh |
| Support | Familiar | New contact |

Self-exclusion through GAMSTOP is the exception: it covers all UK-licensed sites, so it does not reset when you change site.
The practical lesson is to set your deposit limits on any new site on day one, before you play. Limits you chose carefully on one site do not follow you automatically, and a new welcome screen is exactly when it is easiest to forget them. The same applies to reality checks and time-outs, which you can find in the account settings of any licensed site.
Check a licence yourself
See the regulator, the licence details and the link to the UKGC register for Paddy Power Casino in one place.
The checker above is for this site only. For any other casino, use the same method by hand: take the licence number from its footer and search for it in the UKGC public register. The register shows the licence holder, the status and the activities the licence covers. If the company name or the status does not agree with what the site says, do not register.
Who this is not for
Hunting for related sites is not useful for everyone, and in a few cases it can do harm. It is worth being honest about who should skip the idea entirely and simply use one account where they feel comfortable.
- Anyone who has registered with GAMSTOP or set a self-exclusion and is looking for a way around it.
- Players who feel they are chasing losses or spending more than planned.
- People who want a bonus on every site and would stake more than they can afford to claim it.
- Anyone under 18, or under 25 and hoping to avoid the £2 slot stake limit.
- Players who expect a sister site to give them different rules; UK rules are the same on every licensed site.
If any of this sounds familiar, the most helpful step is to talk to someone. GamCare and BeGambleAware both offer free, confidential help, and the Safer Gambling page explains the tools you can use on your account right now. Staying with one site where you know your limits is often the better choice.
Sister site questions answered
What is a sister site?
A sister site is a casino or betting site owned by the same company and covered by the same gambling licence as another brand. The sites may look different, but the licence holder and licence number are the same. A site that only shares software or a similar layout is not a sister site.
How can I tell if two sites are connected?
Compare the footers and the terms. If both name the same company, the same regulator and the same UKGC licence number, and the public register lists them together, they are connected. If the names or numbers differ, they are separate businesses, however alike they appear.
Do I need a UKGC licence number to be confident in a site?
Yes. Any site that accepts UK players must hold a UKGC licence, and the number should appear in the footer. Search for it in the UKGC public register and check that the status is active and the company name matches the one in the terms.
Does GAMSTOP cover related sites?
GAMSTOP covers licensed UK gambling sites generally, not only one group. Once you register, participating operators must block your access. This is why it is never a good idea to look for another site after self-excluding. See the self-exclusion page for more detail.
Which cards can I use on another site?
A debit card is the card option on every licensed UK site. Cards that run on borrowed money are banned for gambling across the UK, so a site that asks for one instead of a debit card is breaking the rules. Treat that as a warning sign and do not continue with the deposit.
Are the slot stake limits different elsewhere?
No. UK licensed sites apply the same maximum slot stakes: £5 per spin for players aged 25 and over and £2 for players aged 18 to 24. These limits come from UK rules, not from an individual brand.
Do I need another account to play different games?
Not usually. Paddy Power Casino offers slots, live casino, jackpots and game shows from a single account. Check the slots, live casino and jackpots pages to see what is available before deciding you need anything else.
