LadBrokes is a UK based sports book and bookmaker that claims to have origins dating back to 1886. They have been around for a very long time and have several betting shops located throughout the UK and several other locations throughout Europe. They are also the largest fixed-odds betting company in the world. With a company this large, that servers so many people, you know that www.LadBrokes.com must be doing something right. Along with their very extensive sports booking venture, the website also sports a casino and poker room to keep you entertained when you’re not placing bets.
SOFTWARE AND GRAPHICS
The site isn’t the most appealing sports book as far as aesthetics are concerned but this usually isn’t the primary concern of most customers placing bets on sports. The site was fairly easy to navigate and after a few minutes of looking around you should be able to find anything you’re looking for fairly quickly. The graphics in the casino and poker room are very well done and provide for a realistic playing experience. One great thing about this site is that there was very little lag or down time, even during peak betting hours.
Betting Information
Even the most serious sport betters should find the selection of events you can bet on more than sufficient. Customers can place bets on events such as: Greyhounds, Football (soccer), Cricket, Golf, Tennis, NFL/NCAA, Ice Hockey, NBL, MLB, Basketball, Snooker, Boxing, Darts, Motor Racing, Rugby Union, GAA, Water Polo, and even Handball. You can also make bets on things such as politics, music, and television. This is one of the most comprehensive betting list that you will find on the internet today.
Payouts/Odds Information
The maximum bets allowed at www.LadBrokes.com is much higher than the average online sports book. For example, customers can bet up to 250,000 pounds! You will be hard pressed to find a higher maximum bet anywhere. While LadBrokes doesn’t offer the best odds available on the internet, they are consistently within the top 15%. The commission is also slightly below average so this should help offset they’re less than stellar odds.
BONUS AND LOYALTY PROGRAMS
This is the one area where the site really failed to impress. The extent of their bonuses is the 10 pound free play that they offer to their new members. This simply doesn’t cut it. A lot of players really look forward to participating in promotions or receiving the occasional bonus. If you are one of these people then this definitely is not the site for you. There was also no loyalty program to be found. This is where the site really needs to look to improve.
DEPOSIT AND WITHDRAWAL OPTIONS
LadBrokes accepts all major credit cards and a very healthy selection of debit cards. This is also coupled with other services such as MoneyBookers, Neteller, PayBox, Western Union, and bank wires. There is also the option of using PayPal in select countries. One of the great things about this site is that they offer free withdrawals for all methods other than bank wires, in which a small fee is charged. This is a rarity among online sport books.
SECURITY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE
Customers should feel very safe when making transactions through www.LadBrokes.com. They have been around for a very long time and you can’t stick around for this long if you aren’t providing safe and secure transactions. The customer service also appears to be better than average and you can reach support via telephone or email 24/7, 365 days a year.
