Can You Claim Compensation for the Paddy Power and Betfair Data Breach?

 If you’re a customer of Paddy Power or Betfair, Flutter will contact you directly if your data was involved.

Names, email addresses, parts of home addresses (first line and city), and some technical data like IP addresses and device IDs were accessed. Payment details and passwords were not included.

The breach could have exposed sensitive information like your name, address, date of birth, national insurance number, bank details (account number and sort code) and pay information.

Flutter has said the breach has been contained and no further unauthorised access is occurring. But keep an eye on your account activity and report anything suspicious. 

Be alert for phishing emails or texts pretending to be from Paddy Power, Betfair, or any financial service. Don’t click on any suspicious links. You might also want to update your password just to be on the safe side.

Yes. Both the Gambling Commission and the ICO have been notified, and an investigation supported by external cyber security experts is underway.

It’s too early to say for certain, but in similar cases, compensation has been awarded for the loss of control over personal data, emotional distress, and increased risk of fraud.

No. You’ll never be asked for money to join the claim. If you qualify, a UK law firm will handle your case on a no-win, no-fee basis.

We work with law firms that operate on a no win, no fee basis. That means you won’t pay anything unless your claim is successful.

A no win, no fee agreement means you don’t pay your solicitor’s legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful. This makes it easier and more affordable to take part in group litigation. However, T&Cs apply.
