Background
Ladbrokes are arguably the biggest bookmaker in the world and one of the most reputable brands in the betting industry. They appear to be at the forefront of many legal cases opposing the state monopoly of several different countries. In the UK, Ladbrokes have over 2,000 betting shops and are listed on the FTSE 100 Index. They have been established since the 1950’s and their online service has been available since 2000.
Coverage & Availablity
The ‘Magic Sign’ aren’t renowned for their competitive odds and instead rely on brand and quality of service to bring in and retain customers. It’s very rare that they’ll be best price about a particular player, team or horse, although you can guarantee a fast pay-out if your selection wins. It’s fair to say that, due to the huge UK shop presence, their racing product is currently superior to football and other sports.
Nevertheless, football punters will be satisfied with the wide range of markets on the big matches, while they have a dynamic In-Play product for betting on football, cricket, tennis and rugby. They cater for a wide range of less-popular sports and also get a gold star for their volume of special markets.
Website
Considering the size and stature of Ladbrokes, their website experience leaves a lot to be desired. Like Coral, if your betting market is available through a ‘fast link’ on the neatly-presented homepage, you’re in luck. However, delving deeper to find a market can be an arduous experience, with too much of the homepage devoted to features and In-Play betting. Football matches are initially bunched together in a big coupon, while the racing section is slightly easier with every race highlighted as soon as you select the sport.
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.
