In the world of sports betting, relatively few sites manage to build up a reputation for excellence and reliability that stands untarnished for several years, but Ladbrokes definitely has what it takes. Licensed and regulated by the Gibraltar Gaming Authority, Ladbrokes offers punters a wide selection of fixed odds betting opportunities.

Software

Placing a bet at Ladbrokes is simplicity in itself, and even beginner bettors will be able to get around the site pretty easily. All you have to do is choose a sport and the specific event that you want to place a bet on from a drop down menu. Clicking on the “Bet” button will then present you with a Betting Slip, on which your wager options will be shown. You will also be shown the potential winnings from your bet.

The site has also released a mobile version of its software, so you can now enjoy Ladbrokes on the move. The software works with a wide range of mobile devices, and provides much of the same functionality as the full-blown Ladbrokes, with a slightly limited feature set.

Features

Basically anything and everything that you can want to wager on, Ladbrokes offers opportunities to do it. The site is open for business 24 hours a day 7 days a week, and you can place bets on anything from horse racing to football any time the mood strikes you. You also get access to the latest Premier League betting odds. Ladbrokes goes beyond sports betting and offers a slew of financial market betting opportunities as well.

Security

Of course Ladbrokes provides only the toughest security for all its transactions, and you can be sure that your data is as safe as it can possibly be. The site will not sell or otherwise provide your information to any third party, and all transactions are subject to rigid data encryption, ensuring utmost confidentiality.

Support

Ladbrokes takes great pride in its customer support staff and it is easy to see why. The representatives who handled our calls were uniformly competent, accommodating and polite, and our inquiries were handled to our satisfaction. We were also pleased at how quickly we got an email response, and our concerns were usually resolved in less than 24 hours. Ladbrokes offers customer support via email and phone for customers in and out of the U.K.

Summary

For a wide range of betting options that encompass seemingly every sport known to man and then some, Ladbrokes is already pretty hard to beat. Add to that the slew of betting opportunities for the financial market, and Ladbrokes seems to have all your betting needs covered. The high quality support and the timely response only makes the entire range of services offered even more enticing. Few services can compare to what Ladbrokes can provide and we have no doubt that the site will continue to be a major player in the sportsbooks stakes for a long time to come.
