Paddy Power Bet £5 Get £30

What it's really worth

The headline is £30.00. Allowing for the way the reward actually pays out, a realistic range is £21.00–£24.00. An estimate, not a promise — and it's lower than the headline because a free bet returns your winnings and keeps the stake.

Is it worth it?

Paddy Power's Bet £5 Get £30 is a new-customer offer, so it's a one-off: worth judging on what you get back for the money you have to put through, not on the headline.

Realistically it returns about 4.5× your £5 qualifying stake — roughly £21 to £24 of usable value against a £30 headline.

That puts it in the top fifth of the welcome offers we currently track — it beats 97% of them on our score.

There's not much attached to it — no wagering requirement stated, and the qualifying conditions are the ordinary ones. That's rarer than it should be.

How it works, step by step

1. 1Open an account with Paddy Power.
2. 2Place a qualifying bet of £5.
3. 3Wait for that bet to settle — the reward follows settlement, not placement.
4. 4£30 is credited to your account.
5. 5Use it within 30 days — anything left after that is lost.
