Beat The Drop

Paddy Powers Beat the Drop is one of the most popular games in the sports betting community that doesn’t require players to stake any money. There’s £5,000 up for grabs if you can confidently predict the outcomes of 15 sporting events, and to date, Paddy Power has created more than 311,000 winners.

To play you need to log onto your account choose your first fixture and market from the list available. The question you could be asked could be something like ‘will this game be a draw at halftime?’ or ‘will Leeds win tonight?’.

Now that you know the question you now need to decide how confident you are in it. Move the slider along the question to wager different amounts of money on each outcome. If you’re playing the free-to-play version, you’ll be wagering an amount of your £5,000 this can be split between the answers in any way you think is best.

If you get the question right, you’ll move on to the next stage. However, you’ll only move on with the amount you put on the correct side. This means if you put £900 on yes and £4,100 on no and the correct answer is no then you move to the next question with £4,100 to play with.

For free-to-play players, this is then repeated 15 times and whatever you come out with at the end of wagering you get to keep as cash! Be aware though you have to wait for the game of your chosen question to be confirmed before you can move on to the next one. This means you may have to play for a considerable amount of time before you see any return however it has the potential to be more than worth it.

As Paddy Power and Betfair are both part of the same parent company, they both offer their own iteration of the beat the drop game. They are both practically identical but there is a thought that says which one should I play? In our opinion why not play both!

You’re able to play both versions of the game if you have an account with both bookmakers so we’d recommend creating an account with each of them. Once you have your accounts you can go any play beat the drop and you have two chances to win rather than one!

As the beat the drop game is free to play once every day, you do not need to wager any money on it. However, if you don’t yet have an account with either Betfair or Paddy Power then it’s worth making sure you get a deal that offers the greatest number of Free Bets or the best sign-up offer such as Paddy Powers' free bet offer.
