Paddy Power Free Bets
History[edit]
The business name Sportsbet Australia was first registered in 1994, with the Sportsbet.com.au domain name registered in 1999. In 2005, Matthew Tripp bought all shares of Sportsbet.
In May 2009, 51% of Sportsbet.com.au was acquired by Irish bookmaker Paddy Power. Paddy Power continued the Sportsbet brand name and company operation as a separate entity, while offering additional services.[2] The takeover allowed Sportsbet.com.au to acquire rival betting company International All Sports Limited, for 27.2 million euros.[6]
In March 2011, Paddy Power took full ownership of Sportsbet.com.au, paying A$132.6 million for the remaining 39.2% share, which valued the entire company at A$338 million.[7][8]
Paddy Power and British rival Betfair agreed terms for a merger on 8 September 2015. The business is owned 52% by the former Paddy Power shareholders and 48% by the former Betfair shareholders.[9] The merger was completed on 2 February 2016.[10] On 5 April 2016, it was announced that 650 jobs in United Kingdom and Ireland would be lost at the company.[11]
On 6 March 2019, Paddy Power Bet Fair announced that it would rebrand as Flutter Entertainment plc, pending shareholder approval at the company's annual general meeting in May. Flutter was originally the name of a betting exchange acquired by Betfair in December 2001. The company stated that the rebrand, which took place on 28 May 2019, would not affect the company's individual customer facing gaming brands.[12]
In May 2020, the global merger between Flutter Entertainment and The Stars Group was finalised following regulatory and shareholder approvals. Sportsbet and BetEasy formed the Australian component of the merger.[13] Incumbent CEO of Sportsbet Barni Evans was appointed to lead the combined Sportsbet and BetEasy businesses, with a decision made to move forward with the sole Sportsbet brand, retiring the BetEasy brand following a period of migration and integration.
Management[edit]
Sportsbet's current CEO is Barni Evans. Barni joined Paddy Power in 2001 as Director of Marketing for Paddy Power in Europe. He joined Sportsbet as a non-executive in 2009, and as an executive in 2011, serving in commercial and marketing roles before being appointed CEO in March 2018.

Our Rating
The Paddy Power joining offer for new players is undoubtedly a very easy to understand and simple deal, and that can be seen as an advantage in of itself. There are plenty of other reasons why this is a very good new customer bonus however.
Providing a £20 risk free first bet, means that the offer is accessible to a huge range of people and with the refund being paid in cash it’s one of the better deals out there.
What’s more, there are very few restrictions placed upon the offer, which is a big plus for us. It is for all of those reasons then that the offer earns a very good rating of 90%, which is only prevented from being close to full marks by the fact that a total bonus of £20 is a little lower than that provided by some sign-up promotions found elsewhere and if your first bet wins there’s no bonus applied.
