Is Paddy Power licensed in United Kingdom?

Paddy Power operates under a licence in United Kingdom. A licence reflects regulatory standing only — the IndexFair score adds user-experience and operational signals on top, so a licensed brand can still hold a low score.

How fast does Paddy Power pay out?

On payout-related signals, Paddy Power scores 4.0/10 from 93 reviews. That is an aggregate of withdrawal-speed and reliability mentions — a sentiment score, not a guaranteed processing time.

What are Paddy Power's weak points?

Paddy Power's lowest-scoring dimension is KYC at 2.2/10 from 27 reviews. The full per-aspect breakdown — strongest to weakest — is in the score section above.

Why are some scores low but the brand is still licensed?

A UK Gambling Commission licence reflects regulatory standing — the operator meets statutory and conduct requirements. The IndexFair score additionally aggregates user-experience and operational signals (review aggregations, withdrawal-latency reports, payment-processor changes). A licensed brand can hold a low composite if those signals indicate quality issues that do not rise to a regulatory sanction. The methodology page details the per-block weights.

Where does Paddy Power's rating come from?

Paddy Power's score draws on 8 sources: app stores, public consumer-review aggregators, and the regulator register. Any one site is survey-biased, so signals are combined across sources with inverse-propensity correction. The per-source breakdown with weights is in the Sources section above and at /sources.

How often is Paddy Power's score updated?

Scores recompute on a scheduled cron at 03:00 UTC daily, plus outbox-driven recomputes when high-volume review data lands between scheduled runs. Every brand card displays the 'last recomputed' timestamp. Real-time updates are not offered — the daily cadence avoids over-weighting transient sentiment spikes and prevents single high-volume review days from displacing the longer-window picture. Methodology version changes themselves are dated at /changelog.

What is the confidence interval?

The ±0.x bracket alongside a score is a 95% confidence interval derived from sample variance and effective sample size after time-decay. A score of 8.4 ± 0.3 reads as: 95% confidence that the true value lies in 8.1–8.7 given current evidence. Wider intervals indicate small samples or high source divergence between aggregators, not lower brand quality.

Can I trust this if it's automated?

The composite score is computed by a published formula, not editorial judgement — so the same inputs always produce the same output, and the formula is auditable. Methodology versions are append-only at /changelog with effective dates. Disputes route through /privacy/contact; the methodology committee reviews factual disputes (licence status, regulator data). Aggregate review sentiment is not editable on a per-brand basis per source ToS.

Sources — what feeds this score

Why this matters: Single-source review sites read very differently from the composite. Selection bias — only the loudest users self-report — is corrected here by aggregating across several sources with inverse propensity weighting. The per-source breakdown below shows what each source contributed and how heavily it weighed in. Methodology v1.

Per-source score mirrors the user-experience block on this source's signal slice; weight is set editorially per source. Em-dashes mean the source has no eligible signal yet — typically configured but not yet scraped.
