Ladbrokes Review
Ladbrokes’ industry-leading experience and creativity shine through this app. It is not just one of the most user-friendly apps out there, but also one of the most entertaining and engaging.
This app focuses primarily on live and sports betting. It contains over 30 sports and events to choose from. The range of sports to bet on includes:
- Football
- Horse Racing
- Tennis
- Cricket
- Darts
- Boxing
- Snooker
- Rugby union
- Basketball
Appearance-wise, it is sleek, modern, and simplistic to view. There’s a tidy format on each page, and the user functionality is great.
The home screen is well-designed. It has easy access to odds, offers, and other information. Key events are readily available thanks to the quick links provided, and live games from all of the popular sports are then listed down the page.
Ladbrokes Features
The app is crammed full of excellent features that enhance the overall betting experience. We have highlighted some of our favourite features below.
Cash-Out Options
The ‘Cash Out’ feature works really well. The ‘Cash Out’ icon is clear and can be found next to the applicable markets.
However, there’s no partial cash-out facility here. This means users are unable to take a percentage of the cash-out amount, leaving some still riding on the original bet. Other bookmakers do offer this feature.
One very impressive element of the cash-out system is the ability to cash out bets made in Ladbrokes betting shops on the high street. There is a section on the app called ‘The Grid’. This can be accessed from the user account settings. It is designed to be used in conjunction with the Ladbrokes high street shops.
Punters who have placed a bet in a Ladbrokes shop can scan their bets using The Grid and then view key stats, track accumulators and even cash out, should an amount be offered.
In-Play Betting
Ladbrokes’ in-play betting offering is far superior to most on the market and is well worth downloading purely for the terrific range they have.
In-play markets will be the first thing you see in the app. There are sports fixtures from across the world. Whether it be Premier League fixtures, Spanish Second Division or even a more obscure league, Ladbrokes has it covered.
Live Streaming
The app has a number of live-streaming events, which will really take your betting to the next level.
All users have to do is bet the minimum required wager (usually £1), and they’ll be able to watch the fixture they’ve bet on.
Live-streamed events are accessible from the home page’s menu. A handy list is provided, displaying both streams on live games and upcoming events.
There are up to 50 live horse racing streams available each and every day to tune in to, and a number of other sports, including:
- Greyhound racing
- Tennis
- Snooker
- Darts
- Table Tennis
- Ice hockey
- Basketball
- Handball
Ladbrokes Sportsbook Bet Builder
One of the newest features to appear on the Ladbrokes app is their very own football bet builder – Called #getaprice. Users are now able to bundle up different selections to make a multi-element bet for a particular match. For example, in a Liverpool match, the user may wish to combine the following selections into one bet:
- Liverpool to win
- Salah to make 1+ assists
- Both teams to score
- Exactly 40 booking points
- Milner to be carded
- Over 9.5 corners
As each selection is picked, the odds will change to reflect the price of all of the picks combined. If the user is happy with the price after all four selections have been made, they can select the place bet button.
This will open up the bet slip with the selections inputted. All that remains is to set a stake and tap on the place bet button, and the bet builder bet will be placed.
Users can see which football matches are set up with the bet builder feature by selecting the bet builder tab from the home page.
Horse Racing With Ladbrokes
As a bookmaker, Ladbrokes is known for its horse racing betting. All upcoming races are on a dedicated page.
A rich snippet displays the top favourite horses from each race. Each snippet includes an “See All” option that opens the full race card.
All of today’s racing features are on the first page. However, if you’re looking for some early value, then the futures specials section is a good place to start.
Football Betting
Its football market is just as impressive, with major events such as the World Cup and the Champions League. It is just as accommodating to those who like the more obscure leagues and competitions.
To kick things off, as soon as you have the app, you can join in the free-to-play game – Ladbrokes 1-2-Free. This is a football competition where you have to pick 3 correct scores to win a prize. (ts & cs apply, 18+, begambleaware.org)
Push notifications are well used to ensure users are well aware of all the latest offers, such as football coupons (which are commonly up for grabs). The notifications are also handy to keep track of live scores and bet progress.
There are unique, quirky betting systems in place, like the 5 A-Side option, which helps separate Ladbrokes from other football betting apps. Here, users can select five players from a specific match and predict how each will perform. For example:
- Goalkeeper – To concede 1+ Goals.
- Defender – To make 3+ Tackles.
- Defender – To be Carded.
- Midfielder – To make 1+ Assists.
- Striker – To score 1+ Goals.
The odds are displayed and increase with each selection. Once you’re happy with the predictions and price, you can set a stake and place the combined bet.
Ladbrokes Mobile Casino
The Ladbrokes Casino app is also available and has been integrated nicely into the betting app. Users can seamlessly switch between betting on the latest Premier League fixture and enjoying a spin on the roulette wheel.
You do not need a dedicated casino to play certain games. There is a gaming tab in the bottom-right corner of the app where you can access selected games and play the Instant spins competition.
As with the sports book-based bonuses, you’ll find plenty of promotions and free bets to keep you going on the casino side, too. These offers expand across a range of slots, table games, and the live casino app.
The variants of games are endless. There are many types of poker and roulette, including both European and American versions.
Our Verdict
Ladbrokes showcases consistent quality across its in-store, desktop and mobile devices. Their app is a must for any enthusiastic punter. It continues to be one of the best on offer.
We’d thoroughly recommend the Ladbrokes app. It continues to offer betting at the very forefront of the industry, which is, of course, where every punter wishes to be.
Other Ladbrokes Reviews
The Ladbrokes Live casino app specialises in offering a broad range of Live dealer games to its customer base. Over 50 well-dressed and well-trained croupiers are lined up ready to serve up the action to people at home or on the move.
Dealers can be added to a favourites list, making them easier to find next time around, as are Live games. These include:
- Roulette
- Blackjack
- Baccarat
- Spin A Win
- Hi-Lo
- Dragon Tiger
- 3 Card Brag
- Poker
- Buffalo Blitz Live Slots
This app offers exclusive live casino promotions and features a professional look, a simple layout, and a number of customisable features, making it a strong casino app.
Ladbrokes have also released an app that that targets those who love a bit of Texas Hold ’em. It’s not the most expansive poker app out there, but it has enough in it to satisfy the majority of poker players out there.
There’s classic styles played in short and long formats for the beginners and multi-table tournaments and live event qualifiers for the more experienced player.
Omaha style and short deck variations of poker prevents any monotony setting in and Poker tables are pleasing enough on the eyes to keep them looking at the cards being dealt.
The lobby is arranged in a user friendly interface, that is quite basic, but does the job it is designed to do. It’s not the best poker app out there, but it is a nice addition to the well polished, slick sports and casino service.

Navigating to the gambling control tools
Ladbrokes’ gambling control tools can be accessed from the user account settings. Tap on the user account icon from the Ladbrokes app’s home page.
Scroll down to the account options and select Gambling Controls.
The responsible gamble gambling tools offered by Ladbrokes will now be listed in drop down menus.
Responsible Gambling Tools
Tools are bundled together in to four categories. These are Immediate 24 Hour Break, Spending Controls, Time management & Account Closure/Reopening. We will now take a look at which tools fall under those four sections.
Immediate 24 hour break
The immediate 24 hour break is exactly that. It prevents the user from logging in for 24 hours after selecting this tool.
Be warned, there is no offer of confirmation once this tool has been tapped on. It instantly restricts the user for a 24 hour period.
Spending Controls
Three different tools sit within the spending controls category. These are:
1 – Deposit Limits
Tapping on the deposit limit tool allows the user to set daily, weekly and monthly limits to their account.
Tapping on the + button in each relevant box will enable the user to set each limit. Tapping on the pencil will allow the existing deposit limit to be changed, while the bin button will delete any existing limit.
Any request to set a new limit or to decrease a limit will be enabled instantly. Any request to increase a limit will have a 24 hour delay attached to it.
2 – Max Stake Limit
This tool attaches a maximum limit to the stakes on the online slot machines. For example, if the user sets a max stake limit of £1, it will not be possible to set the stake per spin any higher than that.
Tap on the max stake option and then tap on the + button to add a limit.
enter a limit and then tap on the SAVE button to apply.
3 – Deposit Curfew
It is possible to restrict the account from allowing deposits at certain times, or on certain days on the Ladbrokes app.
So if you find yourself getting a bit carried away at the weekend after a few shandies, this tool can prevent you from doing so.
Open up the tool from the Gambling Control hub.
Set the days, dates and/or times as suits and then tap on the SAVE button to confirm.
Time Management
Two tools are available to help customers stay in control of their time. These are:
1 – Reality Check
The UK gambling regulations dictate that all users must be made aware by way of a notification when they have been in a casino session for a period of 60 minutes.
However, Ladbrokes offer a tool that can reduce the time of the reminder.
Select the Reality check tool from the gambling controls list.
Tap on the time limit box and select a limit from the drop down list. Options consist of:
- 15 minutes
- 30 minutes
- 45 minutes
- 60 minutes
Tap on save to set the new time period for the Reality Check.
2 – Play Breaks
Play Breaks restrict the user from depositing or placing bets for a defined period of time after a certain amount of activity.
For example, a user could decide to set a play break so that after 2 hours of betting, the Play Break kicks in and restricts the account for one hour afterwards.
To set, open up the Play Breaks tool from within the time management category of the Gambling controls centre. Tap on the + button to add a Play Break rule.
A reminder will now pop up to inform the customer that placing bets and depositing will not be possible when a Play break is active. Tap on the CONTINUE button.
A drop-down box will now present itself enabling the user to set the amount of activity time to be spent before the Play Break kicks in. Set as required and then tap on the CONTINUE button.
Another drop down box with predefined time amounts will show. This time it is for setting the duration of the Play Break once it has been activated. Set to preference and tap on the CONTINUE button.
A confirmation window will now be presented. It confirms back the Play break rules that have been set and then asks the user to confirm they are happy to set it to the account. Tap on the CONFIRM PLAY BREAKS button to set.
Account Closure & Reopening
Five elements make up the Account Closure & Reopening section. These are as follows.
1 – Product Blocking
Ladbrokes allow customers to block themselves from certain gambling products, while still keeping other areas unaffected.
Options available to be blocked are:
- Sportsbook
- Casino
- Bingo
- Poker
Tap on the BLOCK buttons associated to the product that is wished to be blocked.
Information will now appear, outlining the consequences of blocking the product, as well as details on how to unblock the product. If happy, tap on the CONTINUE button.
A time for the block will now need to be set. The products can be blocked for
- 1 week
- 1 month
- 3 months
- 6 months
- Until a custom defined date
- Indefinitely
Select the desired time period and then tap on the CONTINUE button.
the user will now have a confirmation screen in front of them. This details the product block and explains that the block can be removed at any time, subject to a 24 hour delay. Tap on the CONFIRM BLOCK button to activate the product block.
2 – Account Closure
Tapping on this option will take you to the product blocking page. At the top of the products is an account closure button. Tap on this start the process.
The process now follows exactly the same as the product blocking procedure.
Set a time period for the account closure
Make sure the correct time limit is shown on the confirmation screen and then tap on the Confirm Block button to close the account.
3 – Take A Break
The Take A Break tool is designed as a short term account closure. With this tool, users can opt to temporarily shut down their accounts for a period of time ranging from one day to six weeks.
To set a temporary break, select the Take A Break option in the Gambling controls. A duration box will now be available. Set the duration using the drop-down box and the tap on the CONTINUE button.
A full explanation will now show on screen, detailing that once the Take A Break is confirmed, the user will not be able to log in. It also goes in to the finer details of what happens if the user is registered for future poker or bingo games.
Once read, tap on the CONTINUE button.
The confirmation screen will now appear. Check the details on screen to make sure they are correct and then tap the Confirm Time Out button to complete the action. The account will now be restricted for the time period specified.
4 – Immediate Stop
The immediate stop option here is a repeat of the immediate 24 hour break. Choosing this option will instantly shit down the account for 24 hours.
5 – Account Closure Due To Suspected Gambling Problem
The last tool, so to speak is a simple link to the Gamstop service. This service can exclude users not from just Ladbrokes, but ALL online licensed gambling companies. This is certainly the option to go for if gambling is becoming out of control.
