Ladbrokes Review

Ladbrokes has a tremendous Australian and international following and the Ladbrokes name carries a lot of weight in the international betting industry. Ladbrokes was founded way back in 1886 but didn't set up shop in Australia until 2013. Since then, Ladbrokes has established itself as one of the most popular betting sites in Australia, primarily through its top racing offerings - but Ladbrokes sports betting options are nothing to turn your nose up at either.

Ladbrokes acquired Neds in 2018 and after the merger, their betting site underwent a massive overhaul and re-design. The result is an easy-to-use betting site that is great for both new and more experienced punters.

It also means that Ladbrokes has many different popular betting features including cash out, same game/race multis, live streaming, a blog, and an easy-form selector. Ladbrokes also has a wide range of payment options, the best customer service team we've ever encountered, and competitive odds for all Australian races and 30+ different worldwide sports.

Being owned by the same company does, however, also mean that the Ladbrokes betting site is very similar to Neds' site with identical odds and very similar features and navigation.

As far as betting sites in Australia go, Ladbrokes is one of the easiest to use and understand. Despite this, using a betting site can be overwhelming for first-time punters. Below we'll take you through how to use Ladbrokes Australia from the sign-up process to verifying your Ladbrokes account, to depositing and of course placing a Ladbrokes bet.

1. Ladbrokes Sign Up

The first step to using any betting site, or betting app for that matter, is creating an account. The Ladbrokes sign up process is straightforward and requires no commitment to bet or deposit any money.

How do you sign up with Ladbrokes?

1. Select the green 'Sign Up with Ladbrokes' below
   
2. Select 'Join' on the Ladbrokes website
3. Use your PayPal account, or enter some basic personal information (below)
4. You're all set!

2. Ladbrokes Verification

All Australian betting sites must verify their users' identities within 14 days according to Australian betting law. Account verification also needs to completed before you can withdraw any winnings from Ladbrokes Australia.

Ladbrokes will attempt to automatically verify your account based on the information that you provide when signing up. If this is unsuccessful then you will have to electronically or manually verify your account.

3. Ladbrokes Payment Methods

Ladbrokes has a great range of instant deposit methods but is a little lacking when it comes to withdrawal methods. Ladbrokes payments are secured by 2048 bit encryption technology for your peace of mind.

4. Navigating on Ladbrokes

After signing into your Ladbrokes account, you'll enter the homepage. From here you'll see that Ladbrokes has a racing focus with racing promos likely being the most prominent ads displayed. The centre of the page is also often reserved for races that are 'Next to Go'. Below the next races to jump are the most popular sporting markets with the win/loss odds for each contest.

To find races or sports markets that aren't listed in the main section of the homepage you have a couple of different options. You can look for the league/sport/race that you're after in the Quick Links menu on the left or in the Racing Menu below. Otherwise, you can use the Search Bar in the top left-hand corner of the page or the Sports or Racing headings just below this. For live betting markets select the Live Betting tab.

All current Ladbrokes promotions can be viewed under the Promotions tab whereas bonuses and other account information can be viewed in the My Account section. For help using Ladbrokes features like Cash In, Multi betting, ordering a Ladbrokes Card or using Ladbrokes Locker promotions head to the How To section. To download the Ladbrokes betting apps scroll to the bottom of the page and click on one of the Download the App buttons.

To return to the homepage at any point, simply click the Ladbrokes logo or Home button at the top of the page.

If you're familiar with Neds, you'll notice that the Ladbrokes racing and sports betting pages are almost identical. This is because they are owned and run by the same company. It also means that the odds on each site are the same.

When you enter a racing market you'll get an overview of the weather and race details. You can use any of the tabs (Comments, Bet Tracker, Speedmap, Form Guide), to get more information about the race you are viewing. In terms of bets, you can place fixed win and place bets, take the Starting Price (SP) or choose the MId Tote. You can also place Same Race Multis, Money-Back Bets, and Exotics.

Sports betting on Ladbrokes is simpler than racing betting in many ways. When you enter a sports page the range of bets and stats available will depend on how popular the event is. For example, a table tennis match in Russia will have fewer markets and information than the State of Origin decider. The win/loss odds will be displayed at the top of the page with additional markets being displayed below.

5. How do you place a bet on Ladbrokes?

1. Select the 'Bet with Ladbrokes' button below
2. Create a free Ladbrokes account and make a deposit
3. Find the sport or racing market you want to bet on
4. Select the odds that you want
5. Enter your bet stake
6. Select 'Place Bet'

Anybody who had older versions of the Ladbrokes app will tell you that it has been plagued with minor bug issues in the past - but these have since been resolved. In the last year or so we have found the Ladbrokes app to be easy to use and packed with great features, especially for racing. We also found the Ladbrokes support team to be extremely helpful and recommend the Ladbrokes app for any racing or sports betting Aussie.

• Available on the App Store for iOS
• Available from the Ladbrokes website for Android

• Exclusive in-app features
• Easy to use - especially with the search function and events selector

Ladbrokes App Review ⚖️

After getting a lot of criticism in the last few years for minor bugs, poor navigation, and complicated withdrawals the Ladbrokes app has shown some real improvement after their most recent updates. Now the app is easy to navigate via the menu or search function and loading times are now really fast. You'll also find a great range of sports and racing events with competitively priced odds across the board.

The Ladbrokes app is especially good because of the level of information that you can get for Aussie and New Zealand races through the Ladbrokes Info Hub and Blog. Ladbrokes offers full form guides, price fluctuations, and racing predictions for most Australian meets.

The Ladbrokes customer support team is also very helpful and they are available 24/7. You can bet live with Ladbrokes via live phone betting and there is a range of instant deposit methods like Apple Pay or Credit/Debit card that make betting with the Ladbrokes app easy.

Ladbrokes Australia is well-known for its racing product and is one of the most trusted betting sites for Aussie punters. Part of this is because Ladbrokes offers all popular Australian and New Zealand races, as well as plenty of international fields. Another reason is that Ladbrokes Australia rewards its loyal punters with plenty of additional features like their Easy Form selector, form guides, racing Multis and racing comments.

Ladbrokes is a great site for betting on the races but it's also got an awesome selection of odds and markets for sports and novelty events. Ladbrokes is best for betting on big Australian sports events like the AFL, NRL, Soccer, Cricket, and Rugby and often has very similar odds to than other agencies. Ladbrokes' multi options can also add great value to your sports bets, often beyond what you'll get from other betting sites in Australia.

Ladbrokes Betting Features

Ladbrokes Australia has some unique and common betting features that make the overall betting experience more enjoyable. If you're interested in any of these features we recommend creating a Ladbrokes account, for free, so you can try them out for yourself.

After being contacted by a lawyer representing Ladbrokes we are no longer able to discuss Ladbrokes promotions on this website.

Ladbrokes Bonus Codes

All legal Australian betting sites must follow Australian gambling law. One of these laws states that betting sites must not advertise bonuses to their customers before they have created an account. This means that Bonus Codes are largely non-existent within the Australian betting industry.

Betting sites such as Ladbrokes can advertise betting bonuses to players who are signed in to their Ladbrokes account.

As outlined above, and on our page about deposit bonuses, betting websites in Australia are not allowed to advertise sign up bonuses. Therefore, when you see a site offering Australian betting sign up bonuses you are likely being deceived.

Even though Australian betting sites like Ladbrokes can't advertise sign up bonuses to players that are not customers they can advertise bonuses to players who are signed in to their accounts.
