Whether you follow every PSL fixture, track Test match sessions or back football leagues from around the world, paddy power gives you the markets, the odds and the tools to bet the way you want — all in PKR.
Sports betting on paddy power is built around what Pakistani fans actually follow. Cricket is at the heart of the offering — from PSL group stage fixtures through to Test series between major nations — but the platform extends well beyond cricket into football, esports, tennis, basketball and more. Whatever sport is on your radar, there is a good chance paddy power has a market for it.
The betting experience is designed to be straightforward. You browse markets, select your outcome, enter your stake in PKR and confirm the bet. There is no requirement to convert currency or estimate exchange rates — everything runs in Pakistani Rupees from deposit through to withdrawal. This matters more than it might sound because it removes a layer of calculation from every decision you make, and makes your overall betting activity easier to track and manage within a budget.
Odds on paddy power are displayed in decimal format by default, with the option to switch to fractional if that is what you are used to. Decimal odds are generally easier to work with when calculating potential returns — multiply your stake by the odds and you get the full return including your stake back. For example, a PKR 1,000 bet at odds of 2.50 returns PKR 2,500 if it wins.
The sportsbook covers both pre-match betting — where you place your bet before a game starts — and in-play betting, which lets you wager while a match is live. In-play markets are especially popular for cricket because of how much can change across a session: a batting collapse, a key wicket, a dramatic last-over finish. Being able to react to what is happening in real time and place a live bet during the match itself adds a different dimension to the experience.
Every stake, every potential return and every withdrawal is handled in Pakistani Rupees. Fund your account via JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast or bank transfer and bet without any currency conversion. Your account balance always reflects the exact PKR figure.
These are the betting categories that Pakistani players engage with most on the platform. Each covers a wide range of markets — not just match winners but detailed in-play, player and series markets.
PSL, T20 internationals, Test series and bilateral ODI matches. Markets include match winner, top batsman, top wicket-taker, total runs, method of dismissal, over-by-over run lines and in-play live betting throughout each session.
English Premier League, Champions League, La Liga, Bundesliga and international fixtures. Markets include match result, both teams to score, correct score, first goal scorer, Asian handicap, over/under goals and in-play betting throughout the match.
CS2, Dota 2, League of Legends, Valorant and mobile esports titles popular in Pakistan. Markets include match winner, map winner, first kill, total rounds and tournament outright winner. In-play esports betting is available on selected tier-1 events.
Grand Slams, ATP and WTA tour events. Markets include match winner, set betting, number of sets, game handicap and in-play betting available during all Grand Slam matches and top-tier tour fixtures throughout the calendar year.
Major world title bouts and UFC events. Markets include fight winner, method of victory, round betting, total rounds over/under and in-play live odds during the fight. Pakistani boxing fans have access to all major international card markets.
NBA regular season, playoffs and international basketball. Markets include point spreads, moneyline, over/under points totals, player points, quarter betting and in-play options. The NBA season runs through the cricket off-season, keeping the calendar filled year-round.
If you are new to sports betting or just new to paddy power, here is a clear walkthrough of how placing a bet actually works from start to finish.
Create an account on paddy power and complete the verification steps. Once your account is active, make a PKR deposit using JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, bank transfer or a supported card. Your deposit reflects immediately in your account balance and you are ready to bet.
Go to the Sports section and browse by sport or use the search to find a specific fixture. Select the sport, then the competition — for example, PSL or a Pakistan T20I series — and you will see all upcoming and live fixtures. Click on a fixture to see the full market list for that game.
Click on the odds for the outcome you want to back — for example, Pakistan to win the match at 1.85. This adds it to your betslip. You can add multiple selections to build an accumulator or keep it as a single bet. The betslip shows your potential return in PKR before you confirm.
Type in the amount you want to stake in PKR. The betslip automatically calculates your potential winnings based on the current odds. For an accumulator, it shows the combined odds and total potential return. Review everything carefully — the selection, the stake and the potential return — before proceeding.
Confirm the bet and it is placed. Your stake is deducted from your account balance immediately. You can view all open, settled and voided bets from the My Bets section of your account. When the event concludes, winnings are credited to your account balance automatically if your bet wins.
The paddy power platform is fully mobile-optimised. Browse markets, build your betslip, deposit via JazzCash or Easypaisa and place your bets from your phone without needing to download anything. Everything works through your mobile browser with the same functionality as the desktop version.
When betting in-play, odds move quickly in response to match events. The odds displayed when you click may differ slightly from those confirmed when your bet is processed. paddy power may accept the bet at the updated odds, reject it or prompt you to accept the new price depending on how the odds have moved. Always check the confirmed odds before your bet is finalised.

paddy power gives you more than just markets and odds. These features are built into the sportsbook to improve how you manage and place your bets.
Place bets while matches are live. Odds update in real time based on what is happening on the pitch or field. Ideal for cricket where momentum can shift dramatically across a single over.
Combine multiple selections from different matches or markets into a single accumulator bet. The more legs you add, the higher the combined odds and the bigger the potential return — with an acca boost on four or more legs.
Available on selected markets, cash out lets you settle a bet before the event finishes — locking in a profit when things are going well or cutting your losses if the game is turning against you. The cash-out value is shown in real time.
Get updates when your bets win, when cash-out value hits a target or when live odds move significantly on a market you have open. Notifications keep you informed without having to constantly refresh the sportsbook.
A full log of every bet you have placed — open, settled and void — with the stake, odds, selection and result all recorded. Useful for reviewing your betting patterns and managing your overall activity within your budget.
Deposit limits, betting limits, session time reminders and self-exclusion options are all available from your account settings. These tools help you keep betting enjoyable and within the limits you are comfortable with.
For most Pakistani players, cricket is the primary reason to open a sportsbook in the first place. The paddy power cricket betting section covers every significant format and competition — PSL group stage through to the final, Pakistan's bilateral T20I and ODI series, ICC tournaments and Test match cricket. The depth of markets available for a PSL fixture can run to fifty or more individual markets, from the basics like match winner and toss to more specific options like the method of the first wicket or the runs scored in a specific over.
In-play cricket betting deserves a special mention because it fundamentally changes how you can engage with a match you are watching. During a T20 game, paddy power updates odds ball by ball — or very close to it — so you can bet on the next over's run total while a bowler is setting up, or back a batting side to win from a position of pressure if you believe they have the firepower to chase. The key discipline here is to treat in-play betting as you would any other bet: a specific stake based on a considered view of the situation, not an impulsive reaction to the last ball.
For Test cricket, the longer format creates a different set of opportunities. Day one conditions often favour seamers, first-session wicket markets become relevant, and session run-line betting — wagering on the number of runs in a specific session — gives you something to bet on without having to hold a position through five days. paddy power covers all these dimensions for major Test series involving Pakistan.
Decimal odds are the clearest format for quickly working out what a bet will return. The formula is simple: stake multiplied by odds equals total return, including your original stake. So a PKR 2,000 bet at 3.00 returns PKR 6,000 in total — your PKR 2,000 stake plus PKR 4,000 in winnings. If the odds are below 2.00, the potential return is less than double your stake, meaning you are backing an outcome the market considers more likely than not.
Odds below 1.50 represent heavy favourites where the potential return relative to the stake is modest. Odds above 5.00 represent less likely outcomes with proportionally bigger returns. Neither is inherently better to bet on — what matters is whether the odds represent fair value for the likelihood of the outcome you are backing. Over time, consistently finding value rather than just backing favourites is what separates casual betting from something more disciplined.
For accumulators, the combined odds are calculated by multiplying all individual selection odds together. A five-leg acca at average odds of 2.00 per leg produces combined odds of 32.00 — a PKR 500 stake would return PKR 16,000 if all five legs win. The flip side is that a single losing selection voids the entire accumulator. This is why accumulators are high-reward, high-risk by nature, and why they should be funded from your entertainment budget rather than money set aside for other purposes.
Football is the second most popular sport on paddy power among Pakistani users and the offering reflects that. The English Premier League, UEFA Champions League, La Liga, Bundesliga and domestic cups are all covered with a broad market range per fixture. The match result market — home win, draw or away win — is the most basic entry point, but experienced football bettors tend to gravitate toward handicap markets, both teams to score, and player-specific markets like first goal scorer or player to be carded.
One of the more useful features for football on paddy power is the ability to build accumulators across multiple matches playing on the same evening — a four or five-game Saturday acca across Premier League fixtures is a classic football betting format that remains popular because the combined odds create genuinely interesting potential returns from modest stakes. With the acca boost on four or more legs, paddy power adds additional percentage returns if the bet lands.
Esports betting on paddy power has grown significantly and the platform now covers a broad range of titles and tournaments. For Pakistani players, the appeal is partly demographic — a large portion of the gaming community in Pakistan actively follows CS2, Dota 2 and Valorant — and partly practical, since esports events run year-round and are not constrained by weather or traditional sporting seasons.
Esports markets include match winner, map winner, knife round winner, first kill and total rounds over/under depending on the game. Major tournaments like The International for Dota 2 and CS2 Majors attract outright winner betting as well. In-play esports betting is available on selected tier-1 events. The volatility of esports — momentum swings, individual player performances, draft or buy decisions — makes in-play betting particularly engaging for players who follow the games closely.
Sports betting is entertainment, and paddy power is designed for players who approach it that way. The platform provides a set of account tools — deposit limits, stake limits, session time alerts and self-exclusion options — that allow you to define the boundaries of your own activity before you start. Setting a weekly or monthly deposit limit is one of the most effective ways to ensure that betting stays within a budget you are comfortable with regardless of how a run of results goes.
One habit worth building early is reviewing your My Bets history regularly. It shows you exactly what you have staked, on what markets and with what results over any given period. This gives you a clear, factual view of your betting activity rather than a selective memory of wins and a tendency to undercount losses. paddy power is for adults aged 18 and above.
