Ladbrokes Review

Ladbrokes Sportsbook is anything but new. While their online services were only launched in the year 2000, this company has been taking bets in the UK since the 1950’s. Today they operated more than 2,200 land-based locations in the United Kingdom. Including their online wagers, Ladbrokes’ sportsbook handles more wagers than just about anyone in the industry and they do it with the integrity and fairness that we expect. If you want to be sure to find odds on basically everything, including the World Cup 2010, this is the bookmaker for you.

Sportsbook Features

Ladbrokes sportsbook’s large size makes it very unique. On the one hand, they have the resources to cover tons of sporting events (just about everything under the sun) and they can accept very large wagers. In fact, you can place a bet worth £250,000 online and if you call in, there is no betting limit. Right now you can get free bets when signing up using the Ladbrokes promotion code LADBONUS.

Because of their size, though, Ladbrokes doesn’t always have the best odds. This is simply due to the fact that they do not need to compete with a lot of the smaller bookmakers. While their odds aren’t always the best, they are definitely worth checking. It’s not at all rare to make some great finds at Ladbrokes.

Full Gambling Network

Ladbrokes got its start as a sports betting operation, but today they’ve grown to be so much more. Online, you can play in their poker room, their casino, their bingo hall, and you can even bet on financial numbers. The real benefit of this network, though, is that everything is available to you once you have a sports betting account.

If you aren’t actually looking to get started with other kinds of gaming, this might not seem like a big deal, but in the long run it can be a great feature for one reason: because it gives you options. In the future, you can play a quick game of poker or see a few rolls of the craps dice without having to play anywhere else. Your account’s funds carry over completely.

Ladbrokes Banking Options

At Ladbrokes sportsbook, you can use all of the major deposit and withdrawal options. Credit card, bank wire, check NETeller, Paypay, Western Union, and ENets are all valid deposit options. You should know that bank wire withdrawals cost £20 for non-UK bettors, but everyone gets one free bank wire withdrawal each month.

As you’ve probably guessed by now, a bookmaker like Ladbrokes is extremely reliable and fair. This company has earned a sterling reputation so you don’t need to worry about them paying out or sharing your personal information.

Customer Support

It’s normal for bettors to have questions, comments, and concerns. When you feel like you could use a helping hand, Ladbrokes is never out of reach. You can always call them to talk to the friendly support staff, and you can even place your wagers over the telephone. For players in the UK and Singapore, these are toll-free phone calls.

If you live elsewhere, and you’d like to save on the long distance phone fees, you can always get fast access to support via their email address: care@ladbrokes.com. Finally, as a last resort, you can get in touch with Ladbrokes through the mail. Their UK address is listed right on their website.
