Paddy Power has launched a World Cup betting offer that gives enhanced odds of 50/1 on a goal being scored in England's first knockout match against DR Congo at Atlanta Stadium on Wednesday, July 1. The promotion applies to either side scoring, with punters receiving the majority of their winnings as World Cup free bets if a goal is scored.
England's Scoring Form and DR Congo's Record
After failing to score against Ghana in their second group game, England returned to form with a 2-0 victory over Panama. DR Congo have seen at least one goal in all three of their matches so far. If that trend continues, it will trigger a payout on over 0.5 goals at the boosted 50/1 odds.
New customers who sign up via the links on this page and enter promo code YFBDHV at registration can claim the offer. After verifying their identity and making a first deposit of £5 or more via debit card, Apple Pay, or Pay by Bank, punters must stake a maximum of £1 on over 0.5 goals in the England vs DR Congo market at standard odds.
How the Promotion Works
If a goal is scored, the £1 bet is settled in cash at the normal price, and the extra winnings are credited as free bet builder tokens to bring the total payout to 50/1. These tokens are valid for 30 days, allowing use later in the World Cup. The qualifying bet must be placed before kick-off at 5pm BST on Wednesday, July 1.

England vs DR Congo Odds
Most World Cup betting sites list England as odds-on favourites to reach the last-16 inside 90 minutes. At the time of writing, Paddy Power offers England at 1/4 to win, with odds dropping to 1/10 for England to qualify by any means.
Additional Paddy Power World Cup Offers
Paddy Power also provides a free bet builder bet for every England game, with the value ranging from £0.50 to £50 per customer. Qualifying bet builders must include at least three legs and minimum odds of 2/1. Power Prices offer enhanced odds across matchday markets, available via the site and app.
The bookmaker is running money-back specials and bet-and-get offers during the World Cup. The 2UP promotion pays out bets in full if the backed team goes two goals ahead at any point, regardless of the final result. The Super Sub offer allows users to bet on a player (e.g., first goalscorer, to be carded, shot on target) and if that player is substituted, any unsettled bet carries over to their replacement.
Paddy's Rewards Club, the ongoing loyalty promotion, continues throughout the tournament. Opt in and place a minimum of five £5 wagers in a week to claim a free bet.
