Ladbrokes Review

Ladbokes.com website design is very plain, without any additional useless images or heavy flash applications. The site won't impress too many users at first glance, but simple design means very fast and easy navigation. Ladbrokes.com is really one of the fastest loading bookmakers' sites. You won't experience traffic problems even during weekends pick hours. Main features are accessible through tabs just under the site header. Following a tab link results in loading the available betting markets for the selected sport in the left. All markets and sports are even easier for access through the drop-down 'Quick menu to betting'. All available markets for an event can be viewed again by drop-down menu. The always visible bet slip is in the right, adding or removing selections from it is really fast and intuitive. The website offers many helpful features such as mobile betting, stats, bet search, bet calculator and livescore. Commentary Centre with live audio commentary is available for horse racing, greyhounds and football, as well as free live streaming for horse racing and greyhounds. Users can choose their favourite odds format: decimal, fractional or american style.

Customer support accepts queries 24/7 through e-mail (care@ladbrokes.com) and telephone. Many answers you can find directly in their FAQ section, which is quite helpful. Support guarantees your question will be answered up to maximum 24 hours, but still implementing a live chat option could be a lot better.

Ladbrokes don't have one constant sign-up bonus. Instead they practise offering freebets (up to the amount of your first bet) on certain days. The freebet amount varies a lot (from 10 to 100 GBP or even more), depending on the affiliate link used for registering or the weekday (Saturdays are most attractive naturally). Casino bonus is up to 100 GBP, poker bonus - up to 500 USD and bingo bonus - 10 GBP. Please check terms&conditions for all bonuses and freebets. Freebets aren't bad, still one constant sign-up bonus would attract more new customers.
