Full Review

Ladbrokes has a history of being a lucky casino payout-wise with Progressive Jackpots frequently topping the industry. Several games offer ‘instant millionaire’ status. The overall play on the Ladbrokes Playtech platform is excellent for instant-play card, table and slots gamers. Play games from lots of developers. Ladbrokes is one of the biggest gambling operators in the UK and its online products help take the brand even further. While the main product is sports betting, the Ladbrokes Casino is always a top choice for amazing slots and more. It was established way back in 2000 and this doesn’t just give it a long history, but also shows just how reliable it is. The online casino promises “big games, bigger bonuses and the biggest jackpots” and we will take a closer look at these aspects and more in the Ladbrokes Casino review. From the start, the design on the website is not very impressive with the familiar red logo on the top and a large banner that presents some of the promotions and top games before jumping right into the game collection. The titles are displayed in a nice fashion with big icons that get even bigger when checking them out and categories for the different gambling options.

Software

The casino website is easy to navigate, with various tabs and options to guide you seamlessly to what you are looking for. Upon accessing the site, a selection of top games are displayed, along with any current promotions and offers. There are various categories to select from, including New Games, Slots, Movies & TV, Jackpots, Table and Cards, Video Poker, Casual Games, and finally, all games are listed together. As well as these helpful categories, there is also a search tool, making it even easier to locate the specific game you want to play. When you decide which you want to play, it takes just 1 click to launch the game, and it will load quickly, usually in under 30 seconds. In addition to easy access to games, you can easily access help and support, along with all account activity, like banking and game history, through buttons located on the top right side of the page. Along the very top of the page, the various products from the operator are available. Here you can find even more casino games from a variety of developers within the Vegas and Games tabs.

Games

The games choice across casino, games and Vegas tabs is very decent now, especially for slots players in my opinion. If you prefer card and table games then Ladbrokes casino’s download option offers the best choice but it’s Playtech-driven so slots players are better off playing in a browser through the Ladbrokes site. The benefit here is that you get WMS slots (under the Vegas tab) along with IGT and Novomatic slots like Cleopatra and Book Of Ra under the ‘Games’ tab. The Casino tab still has plenty of games, card games, roulette and slots but the latter tends to be Playtech and WMS games only.
Where this Ladbrokes review hits a bit of s stumbling block, in my experience, is when you compare customer service at Ladbrokes to some of it’s main competitors. True, all the bookmakers suffer a little bit here… while smaller outfits such as 32Red and Roxy Palace for example (32Red casino review) are able to respnd quicer in general, Ladbrokes does seem a bit slow to respknd by comparison.

Mobile Gaming

Mobile gaming at its best can be enjoyed across different devices, including Android smartphones, iPhone and iPad. Ladbrokes Mobile Casino is always being updated to ensure a smooth experience while on the move and the easiest way to start it is by going to the website from the device of choice. There is also a QR code for the mobile site and downloadable apps on the App Store and on the Android Market. These allow players to install the casino on their phones and always have it just a tap away. The same account created on the regular version can be used for mobile betting, be it for free or for real cash. Playtech provides the gaming options no matter the platform so the same high-tech 3D animations can be expected regardless of the size of the screen players opt for. Some differences will get noticed since most of the controls have been simplified to not only take up less display space, but also be more convenient to use on a touchscreen.

Deposits and Withdrawals

Opening and funding an account at Ladbrokes is quick and easy. You can download the software onto your computer in minutes, or play the instant version, offering not quite as many games, without downloading. You can also play on your mobile device.

You have many fast and secure banking options to choose from, including the added convenience of Ladbrokes’ own betting stores. In almost all instances, the method used for deposit can also be used for withdrawal. The average time to process withdrawals is also reported as being faster than at most online casinos. Another great feature is that if you’re a sports bettor or poker player as well as a casino player, you can readily transfer funds back and forth between accounts. If you need assistance, or have any questions, customer support is available 24/7 via email, phone, and live chat.

Security

If a long history with a perfect record that dates back to 2000 is not enough to show that the online casino is reliable, there are a few more signs covered in the Ladbrokes Casino Review. The first is the license from the UK Gambling Commission, which is fairly difficult to obtain and maintain for a long period of time. However, the size and reputation of the company certainly made it easier to focus on the market where it has a big share.

Conclusion

The Ladbrokes brand is huge and it didn’t disappoint in the online casino review. All in all, the offering is solid seeing that it is powered by Microgaming and having the big titles available on mobile devices gives it a nice advantage as well in today’s gaming market. What we didn’t like is the wagering requirements for the bonus that makes it hard to benefit from and also the withdrawal times that tend to take about a day more than usual to complete.
