Background
Ladbrokes are among the biggest bookmakers in the world and one of the most reputable brands in the betting industry. In the UK, Ladbrokes have over 2,000 betting shops and are listed on the FTSE 100 Index. The company dates back to the 19th century, although the firm as we know it started in 1961 when a small number of betting shops were established in southern England.
They have now grown to the extent where they are major players in territories all over the world and that’s why you will find their website available in 25 different languages.
Odds and Markets
The ‘Magic Sign’ aren’t always renowned for their competitive odds and instead rely on brand and quality of service to bring in and retain customers. That said, this is an area which is starting to improve and they have started to offer a wide selection of bonus offers. These include extra place terms on European and PGA Tour events and money back specials on each tournament.
Golf punters are well catered for at Ladbrokes. They may not offer the best odds across the board on a tournament but they have a huge variety of markets on each European and PGA Tour event and also offer a wide range of ante-post specials. They are usually the first to offer odds on major events and will react immediately after a tournament is finished to update prices on forthcoming events.
Website
The website has improved greatly in recent years and is now not only one of the quickest in the industry but also has much better navigation when it comes to finding your bet. Ladbrokes highlight the top six daily sporting events on their homepage and golf betting is positioned very prominently on their website. They will also draw users attention to their free bet offers and money back specials on each tournament page.
The Live In-Play betting opportunities are also featured on the homepage, although the live streaming that’s available could be displayed more prominently (scroll down to see the Ladbrokes TV banner). Placing a bet is a nice straightforward business and you will usually get paid winning to your bank account within 48 hours of making a withdrawal.
Customer Service
Customer service is 24/7 and is very dependable, with staff very quick to respond to customer email queries. The ‘Contact Us’ section is currently misleading as it gives the impression there is Live Support but instead only has email and telephone support, along with a list of FAQ’s.
