If you’re looking to bet on England’s World Cup semi-final against Argentina, you could do worse than to check out the Paddy Power new customer offer.

It grants £30 in free bets for an initial £5 qualifying bet, which is just about as low an initial commitment as you’ll find among UK bookmakers. Existing customers also get a completely free Bet Builder, as well as an enhanced Super Boost on Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane.

How to claim £30 in Paddy Power free bets as a new UK customer

paddy power bet 5 get 30 new customer offer

New customers can currently receive £30 in Free Bets after placing a qualifying £5 bet, making this one of the lower deposit requirements among the major UK bookmakers.

The free bets can then be used across a wide range of football markets, making them particularly useful with a potential World Cup final still to come should England progress.

While other bookmakers are offering larger bonuses, Paddy Power’s lower qualifying stake means it’s a good option for anyone wanting to open a new betting account without committing as much money upfront.

Is there a Paddy Power 40/1 offer for England vs Argentina?

No. Unlike England’s quarter-final victory over Norway and other previous World Cup 2026 matches, Paddy Power is not running a 40/1 enhanced odds promotion for tonight’s semi-final.

Many supporters will remember the bookmaker’s boosted 40/1 England to qualify offer that was available before the Norway match, but that promotion expired before the quarter-final kicked off and has not been replaced for the Argentina game.

Instead, Paddy Power has reverted to its standard welcome offer, which remains one of the better betting sign-up bonuses available if you don’t already have an account.

Free Bet Builder and Super Boost for existing customers

Existing Paddy Power customers haven’t been forgotten either. The bookmaker is once again giving customers a completely free Bet Builder to use on England’s World Cup match. Simply claim the offer before kick-off, then build a bet with at least three selections before using the free bet in your betslip. It’s one of a small handful of no deposit free bet offers that are available on England vs Argentina.

If you’re looking for inspiration, the most popular Bet Builders currently being backed by Paddy Power customers include:

  • Jude Bellingham to be shown a card
  • Jude Bellingham to commit 2+ fouls
  • Enzo Fernandez to commit 2+ fouls
  • Enzo Fernandez to be shown a card

At the time of writing, Paddy Power says it’s been backed over 10,000 times! While this is another heavily backed (6,000 times and counting) option focusing on chance creation:

  • Lionel Messi to create 3+ shots
  • Bukayo Saka to create 3+ shots
  • Declan Rice to create 2+ shots
  • Enzo Fernandez to create 2+ shots

As usual, the Super Boost comes with a maximum stake limits, while Super Sub also applies where eligible, giving customers an additional safety net if a selected player is substituted early.
