Paddy Power is dangling a juicy carrot for new customers ahead of England's World Cup showdown with Ghana on Tuesday. The bookmaker is offering an unprecedented 50/1 odds boost for a goal to be scored in the match, a proposition that's far from unlikely given the unpredictability of football.
To qualify, fresh faces must sign up with Paddy Power using the promo code YFBDHS and deposit at least £5. Then, they'll need to place a maximum £1 bet on 'over 0.5 goals' in the England vs Ghana match before kick-off at 9pm.
Should either team breach the net, punters will receive a cash payout based on standard odds for the 'over 0.5 goals' market. But here's where things get interesting: Paddy Power will then credit the significant enhancement to 50/1 as free bet builders, valid for 30 days from issue.
Before getting stuck in, new customers should note key terms. The offer is only open to those who are new to Paddy Power and reside in the UK or Ireland. Deposits must be made via Pay by Bank, debit card, or Apple Pay – e-wallet options won't cut it. Once credited, free bets will appear in the 'My Free Bets' tab on the Paddy Power website, but only if bet builders meet specific criteria.
Of course, this isn't the only trick up Paddy Power's sleeve. Existing customers can get in on the action with 'Bet Boosts', 'Acca/Bet Builder Boosts', and user-requested odds via 'WhatOddsPaddy'. There are also games like 'Beat the Drop' and 'Spin the Wheel' where you can win cash or free bets.
