Who it suits

  • Adults in the UK and Republic of Ireland who want sports betting, online casino and online poker on a single account.
  • Poker and bingo players, as poker and bingo are listed alongside the sportsbook.
  • Bettors who bank from home, because Apple Pay, Bank Transfer and Google Pay covers card, bank transfer and wallet options.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone who needs phone or chat support, since this account runs on email and help centre only; Betclic PL is worth lining up.
  • Bettors outside the UK and Republic of Ireland, who should compare Betclic PL under the Ministry of Finance (Poland) or Synot Tip SK.
  • Players who want a wider responsible gambling toolkit than deposit limits and self exclusion, where totalbet is the closer comparison.

Frequently asked questions

Who licenses Ladbrokes and who runs the account?+

Ladbrokes is licensed by the UK Gambling Commission in Great Britain. The licence sits with the legal entity LC International Limited under number 054743-R-330863-014, and the brand is headquartered in the United Kingdom after starting in 1886. The same regulator and entity cover the sportsbook, casino, poker and bingo sides of the account.

What is the smallest deposit?+

The deposit range is £5 to £10, which sits below the site median of €8.77 and the sportsbook ranking median of €8.77. You can fund the account through Apple Pay, Bank Transfer and Google Pay, so the entry bar is low but the full card and wallet list is there from the start.

How fast are withdrawals?+

Withdrawals run Instant with Pay by Bank, Google Pay or Apple Pay, so bank and wallet payouts are listed as instant rather than queued. The same record also flags fast payouts and a mobile app in fast payouts and mobile app, which suits bettors who want to place and cash out from the same app. Other questions about a withdrawal go to email and help centre.

Which payment methods can I use?+

Deposits and withdrawals use Apple Pay, Bank Transfer and Google Pay. Card brands sit alongside bank transfer and wallet options, and the instant routes named in Instant with Pay by Bank, Google Pay or Apple Pay draw on the same list. A player can therefore fund the account and take money out without changing provider, which suits anyone who keeps balances in one place.

What does the welcome offer give new customers?+

The welcome offer gives new customers in the UK and the Republic of Ireland a set of free bet tokens after a qualifying stake, rather than a cash credit. It is a sign-up offer for new accounts, and the bonus model listed for the brand is welcome bonus, the offer type shared across 100% of the brands compared here.

What products sit on the account?+

The account covers sports betting, online casino and online poker, with poker and bingo listed separately under poker and bingo. The sportsbook is run as a bookmaker rather than an exchange, and the mobile app in fast payouts and mobile app carries the main areas. That makes it a single account for anyone who moves between sports and card or number games.

Which responsible gambling tools are available?+

Responsible gambling tools cover deposit limits and self exclusion, meaning deposit limits and self-exclusion. For scale, self-exclusion is listed for 92% of the brands on the site and deposit limits for 69.8%, so both sit towards the common end rather than the rare end.

How do I reach support?+

Support runs on email and help centre. Across the site, email is offered by 71.3% of brands and a help centre by 70.5%, while phone support is listed by 37.9%. Both channels listed here are written, so a withdrawal question can follow the same written route as an account query.
