Paddy Power set to leave Italy

By the end of the year, Paddy Power will shut its doors to the Italian market: Irish gaming platform announced via email to their customers that on December 2017 they will cease their gaming offering, not only for online Texas Holdem but for all iGaming channels.

You can read the details on the following email:

"Hello,

we would like to inform you that, in December 2017, Paddy Power will cease gambling on all collection channels. In fact, ADM (Customs and Monopoly Agency) has accepted the request for waiver of Power Leisure Bookmakers Limited (Paddy Power) GAD n.15236.

You will no longer be able to play on Paddy Power from the date (which will be announced in the coming weeks) where the waiver will take effect.

Therefore, by December 2017, your gaming account Paddy Power with username XXXXXX may be closed. We ask you to pay attention to our future communications.

We also remind you that the Paddy Power Betfair Group is already present on the Italian market with Betfair.com, GAD licensor holder n.15211, issued to Betfair Italia S.r.l.

Betfair.it will provide you with an optimal and innovative gaming experience with more competitive promotions and bonuses.

For more information, visit the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact our customer service.

The Paddy Power team "

On Paddypower.it, it has been clarified that no new gaming accounts will be created in the coming weeks, and existing ones will be closed by the end of December.

Active game account holders who have not withdrawn their funds by ths date may still ask for the refund even after closing the platform by contacting customer service.

According to a September survey on online green tables, Paddy Power channeled 0.51% of mtt traffic and 1.29% on cash games.

The Paddy Power brand thus gives way to Betfair with a stage exit that has all the semblance of a definite farewell.

BOOK SPY

Paddy is the best example of “united we stand” in betting business, as they started as a merger of all Irish bookies, who expanded in many countries and eventually merged with Betfair. Nowadays Paddy’s popularity is exceeding the British Isles, their main area of interest. They’re one of the first bookmakers who took advantage of odds as a commercial campaign, offering odds on bizarre events to attract publicity. Their services could be complete if they added an Asian Handicap option to their great number of alternative betting selections. They still offer their website only in English, by choice.
