The 2025/26 Premier League season is underway, and punters across the United Kingdom have already enjoyed their fair share of bookie bashing.
The opening weekend of the season produced a couple of shock results, not least Sunderland's 3-0 win over West Ham at the Stadium of Light on Saturday, 16 August.
Ahead of the second round of top-flight fixtures this season, Paddy Power has a brilliant welcome offer to take advantage of.
Paddy Power welcome offer: £50 in bet builders for Premier League or other football games
The current Paddy Power welcome offer gives new customers £50 worth of free bet builder bets to use on the Premier League.
In order to qualify for this promotion, those without a Paddy Power account must register and then make a £10 single bet on a Premier League match. Providing the odds of the qualifying bet are 1.5 (1/2) or greater, then you will receive the £50 free bets.
The free bets will be credited to your account upon the qualifying bet being settled. This needs to happen before 01/04/2026, so it is a relatively long-standing promotion.
Once the free bets land in your account, you will have 90 days to use the balance. You don't have to use the £50 in one bet and can stake as little or as much as you want across the 90 days.
How to use the Paddy Power welcome offer this weekend
There are plenty of matches taking place this weekend which lend themselves to the Paddy Power welcome offer. Our pick would be to target the clash between Man City and Tottenham on Saturday, as in recent years, this fixture has consistently produced goals.
Each of the last four matches between the two clubs at the Etihad Stadium has produced over 3.5 goals, which gets any bet builder off to a profitable start.
From there, Erling Haaland to score anytime could be added, given he usually starts the season like a train, while you should also consider over 10.5 corners, as 23 corners were taken across the two league fixtures between Man City and Spurs last season.
Responsible gambling reminder
This is an excellent offer from Paddy Power, particularly as big money can be won through bet builders. However, it's also important to remember the volatility of gambling at all times and remain in control.
Paddy Power allows all customers to set limits to help them stay in control of their gambling and to prevent them from chasing losses. Only gamble what you can afford to lose.
If you feel your gambling has become a problem, there are plenty of organisations that can help, including GamStop and GamCare.
