Facebook has a plethora of casino games, except the only catch is that they are free games. The reason why there are no real-money casino games on Facebook is that the social media giant has been reluctant to completely open up to the concept. We say 'completely open up' because Facebook has already partially opened up to real-money wagering. This first occurred with the launch of Bingo Friendzy in 2025, after which came another paid bingo app to be launched on Facebook. Those launches led analysts to suggest that they could lead to a softening in the attitude of Mark Zuckerberg et al to real money gambling on Facebook.

Facebook Sports Betting App with Paddy Power

Well, it has taken a year but finally there is another chapter that can be added to this story. Paddy Power is a quirky Irish gambling operator that primarily operates within its native country as well as in the UK, and it was only announced recently (July 2025) that Facebook had entered into an agreement with Paddy Power that would enable the operator to develop and app that would enable users to engage in real-money sports betting (US betters are likely to be excluded). This is a major agreement and one that is set to change everything for the future.

Seeking to Expand with Casino Games

Facebook appears to be firmly committed to a new strategy whereby it is going to encourage developers to make pitches to launch social media games on its platform. A major announcement was made on the topic at the World Gaming Executive Summit in Barcelona. Facebook presented its views on the future of social media gaming and discussed the prospects of gambling within it. Now, if that doesn't sound like a positive future for real-money wagering on Facebook then what does?

The Paddy Power App

The Irish gambling operator has named its app Paddy Power In-Play. This is a huge coup for Paddy Power because it will enable its players to place sports bets through Facebook. The concept has huge potential because players can respond to comments from friends over Facebook, made in relation to major sporting events, by using the app to place a bet. With Facebook now open to sports betting, hopefully it won't be much longer before online casinos are invited to join the party? Casino for Mobile will continue to provide you with coverage on the topic.
