Paf Review: Bonus Codes, Registration and Mobile Apps

PAF is a legendary, Nordic sports bookmaker in the world. Founded in Åland,1966, It is said to be a first-generation modern betting platform in Europe and one of the first to offer sports gambling services on the internet. The bookmaker is also an award-winning brand, highly responsible and trusted by gamblers worldwide. In 2017, the Paf brand employed over 400 officials in over 30 different countries across Europe, including the Baltic and the Northern seas. Paf, whose native name goes by (Ålands Penningautomatförening) is managed, financed and controlled by the Finnish government. Paf has its head office in major European cities such as; 

• Helsinki;
• Madrid;
• Riga;
• Oslo;
• Norköpping;
• Stockholm;
• Talinn

Experts predicted Paf to have generated a total turnover of €114 million in 2019, amazing a net profit of €25 million. Players seem to confide in the platform because it is owned and managed by the government. This makes players trust their services to a good extent because when they lose money, they believe it will come back to the public as a charity.

Good gaming and live betting services. Apart from the tendency of reaping the rewards through betting, players also want something engaging and exciting. Paf provides just that.

Paf is owned by the public but managed and controlled by the Åland government. The funds generated by Paf are shared with the public. Paf is a highly reliable and committed brand in the sports gambling arena. The bookmaker doesn't take security matters lightly. With major advanced information security systems put in place, the bookmaker has gone even further to obtain its ISO standard ISO/IEC 27001:2013. The purpose of ISO is for proper gambling activities and player data management. Due to heavy fraudulent online activities, the bookmaker has gone even further to heavily secure its private database across countries where its services are rendered.

Paf is also registered under eCOGRA. eCOGRA is an international agency responsible for upholding the standard of the sports betting industry. The eCOGRA regulates gambling agencies with respect to percentages of funds returned to players known as (RTP) and the Random Number Generator known as (RNG), Paf not being an exception.

The bookmaker also holds the required gambling licenses and meeting with other standards put forth by the government where its services are rendered.

Paf is not reputable for showering down gifts on its customers. Perhaps the reason for this maybe because of the charity and humanitarian services they render to the public. Aside from this, there isn«t much complaining to do in this area. This does not mean they can be written off totally. New players are entitled to a welcome bonus, and some few others to help them get started. You can claim this offer by entering your Paf promo code. Generally, it is safe to conclude it»s welfare packages are mostly unimpressive.

Unlike other bookmakers, Paf doesn't focus on sports betting. Instead, it focuses its attention on the games played. The bookmaker has fewer sports games offered by full-time, privately owned bet companies. However, it organizes its limited services engagingly and attractively. Games you can place bets on include;

• Football;
• Basketball;
• Tennis;
• Cricket;
• Netball;
• Polo;
• Esports;
• Politics;
• Rugby;
• Ski Jumping;
• Snooker;
• Specials;
• Speedway;
• Surfing;
• Ice hockey;
• Volleyball;
• Winter Sports;
• Motorsports

A good player will find the odds and betting offers of the operator highly irresistible. This probably is one of the strengths of Paf. Starting from the website design to bet markets, odds, events offered and betting options, everything looks so professional to an extent it would attract any player. One other betting platform with a similar feature is their rivals Unibet. From a player perspective, the odds, betting offer, and all can be accurately described as perfect. The three types of odds offered are;

• Fractional;
• Decimal;
• Money line

Betting options include;

• Asian handicaps;
• European Lines;
• Live Streaming.

The operator may be hugely disadvantaged in other areas; however, with these features in place, there is nothing more to expect from a highly organized live bet platform.

On the top of the betting games offered, football (soccer) sits alone ahead of other sports such as basketball, tennis and golf. On the official site, there is a clear overview of football pitch live betting events; live scores, odds, betting tips and market. Other events displayed include gaming statistics of live games such as; goals scored, football possession, cards awarded, goal scorers and so on are shown under the live scoreboard.

The games section also has betting guides, tips and statistics on games to help players make good betting decisions. These statistics are displayed via an icon (relevant graph icon) just before the game starts. Some statistics include head to head results, previous encounters, likely scores prediction, and so much more.

Another perhaps, most impressive feature of Paf, is its live betting section. For any punter, this live betting is just satisfactory. It particularly makes the betting process flow smoothly. Whatever you need to support your live betting needs; live scores, betting options, markets available, odds, live streams of sports games, you would find them boldly displayed on the Paf's animated screen. The screen is accessible via your smartphone.

Not quite impressive for a very successful bookmaker to have just a few payment options available. More disappointing is the fact that the only accepted currency on the platform is Euro. Wherever you play from, you must first convert your currency to the accepted currency. Compared to other bookmakers, this is a major setback, especially for promising players from states with weak currencies. Great bookmakers accept various types of currencies to allow players from different locations. Despite the flaws, players find the withdrawal and deposit process quite very easy. Here is a list of the deposit and withdrawal vendors accepted by the platform.
