Ladbrokes Casino Review

Ladbrokes began in 1886 as commission agents for horses trained at Ladbroke Hall in Worcestershire. For a large part of the early twentieth century they were the gambling client of choice for the British aristocracy. With the legalization of gambling in the UK in 1961, they became a major player on the high street with their chain of betting shops. Ladbrokes has grown to become the largest betting company in the UK and the largest retail bookmaker in the world and were at the forefront of the move to online gambling in the late 20th century. With over one hundred years of experience, this is a company that you can trust and knows how to keep ahead of the game.

Bonuses and Promotional Offers at Ladbrokes Casino

For the purpose of bonuses, the casino and the Live Casino are treated separately. In the Casino there are varying deposit bonuses of between 50% and 125% of your initial deposit up to £500. The bonuses differ to give the player an opportunity to choose a bonus that suits their wagering, making the bonus realistic and achievable. After the deposit bonus is completed you can check the bonus store. Here you’ll see a series of bonuses that are tailored specifically for you, and will be relevant to the stakes you play at. The Live Casino offers a 25% bonus of up to £25 on your initial deposit. Ladbrokes Casino also offers a daily bonus – this might be free spins on selected slots, refunds if you partake in certain games or extra comp points. The comp points are a way that you can get paid to play – there more you play the more points you will rack up – and these points can be converted into cash. Every time you turn over £10 you will earn one point, which can be converted at the rate of 100 for each £1 in cash. Ladbrokes also offer very attractive one-off prizes to their members. In May 2014 they gave away an F-Type Jaguar to one of their users in a new casino promotion.

Bonus Requirements

Ladbrokes Casino has a 20x play through requirement which means that you’ll have to wager your total deposit plus bonus 20 times to release the full amount. With roulette, different levels of risk will release varying amounts of the bonus. Low risk bets like red/black will not count towards your play-through total at all – but higher risk bets can release up to 50% of your wager the play-through. Other casino games like slots or scratch-cards will count fully to reducing your bonus play-through, so consider playing these casino games to gain that bonus a little quicker. In the Live Casino there is also a 20x play through requirement, and once again is subject to the level of risk of the wagers you are placing at the tables. In both the Casino and the Live Casino the bonuses are subject to a thirty day limit, the release requirements must be met within that time.
