Steeped in tradition and highly respected, Ladbrokes is a major betting heavyweight, especially for football and horse racing. One of the top online sportsbooks in Ireland.

What you can expect from Ladbrokes

Bookies come and go but Ladbrokes, one of the oldest bookmakers on the planet, remains a go-to for punters worldwide, including here in Ireland.

The company’s long-standing reputation within the industry counts for a lot.

Ladbrokes is a reliable and trusted bookie which has stood the test of time.

But being regarded as a leading bookmaker today speaks volumes of not just the brand but a top-notch product that continues to tick many boxes for bettors and appeal to customers across the board.

You can look forward to great value betting promos, plenty of live streaming options, and an array of bet types for a range of sports.

And you’ll be thrilled to learn that football, horse racing and greyhound racing are at the heart of Ladbrokes, making it the ideal online bookie for Irish punters.

Not just a one-trick pony Ladbrokes has room for casino, slots, poker and bingo, making sure everyone's online gambling needs are met.

What's new with Ladbrokes?

Any great product has to be marketed well and this is certainly the case at Ladbrokes where no expense is spared in making memorable TV commercials.

The latest, featuring an epic comeback for Rocky, brings to life that iconic run through Philadelphia as part of Ladbrokes' 'We Play Together' advertising campaign.

Any other business?

Ladbrokes has introduced a new football promotion for the 2022/23 season - Ladbrokes FanZone, a promo where you can personalise your betting experience.

Basically, show your colours (i.e pick your favourite Premier League team) and you get the following FanZone rewards and perks:

• One ‘Fans Price’ enhanced market for your team
• One Odds Boost for any matchday market for your team’s match
• One €0.50 Free Bet to use on 5-A-Side for your team’s game
• Teams news & live matchday alerts
• In-play offers

Right now, the offer only applies to Premier League teams but, who knows, if it's a hit you may well see FanZone become a familiar fixture for EFL clubs too.

Top-notch. They're up there with Bet365 when it comes to football. Yes, they're that good!

No matter the country or competition, there’s a footie coupon packed with hundreds of bet types and markets and, a live stream ready and waiting for a host of matches including fixtures from Serie A, La Liga and the Irish Premier Division.

Multiple promos are centered around the Beautiful Game as are free-to-play games such as Ladbrokes 5-A-Side and 1-2-Free which provide free bet opportunities.

Ladbrokes is also renowned for the best acca deal in the game where customers can boost, track and insure that all-important accumulator.

Absolutely. Horse racing is one of the best bits about Ladbrokes.

Every UK and Irish meet has a live stream, radio commentary, Racing Post tips and an excellent variety of markets.

Races in France, the USA and Australia are available to watch live and bet on too, albeit with a smaller pool of markets depending on the race and/or country.

There's the terrific Build Your Own Racecard feature where you can pick horses from up to 10 races in the UK, Ireland and selected international meetings, plus Bet Filter, a filter tool for choosing the perfect horse.

And as you'll come to expect from Ladbrokes there's no shortage of great betting offers, including:

• Best Odds Guaranteed (from 10am on the day of a race)
• Extra Race Places (on selected races)
• Daily Specials and Odds Boosts

Customers will enjoy the ease with which you can move around the site. From layout, navigation and functionality, Ladbrokes is on point.

There are quick links from the homepage to the most popular sports: horse racing, football, and greyhounds. Other sports can be accessed just as easily from the sidebar which features an A-Z list of every sport Ladbrokes covers.

The days featured horse races or football matches are listed without the need to scroll too far and you will always find special bets for the day’s most popular events. Accessing in-play bets and live streams is straightforward from the homepage too.

The only gripe we have is the speed of the site, which, at times, can be quite slow.

That aside, Ladbrokes is a stylish and easy-to-use website that matches Irish bettors' needs.

If you look back at old reviews of the Ladbrokes betting app, you will find comments relating to glitches, bugs and an unsatisfactory experience in general.

However, Ladbrokes have worked hard over time to rectify those issues and improve their product as a whole.

Today, Ladbrokes boasts one of the industry’s top betting apps.

Like the website, the app has a super clean interface and is simple to navigate. And the best thing - everything you find on the website is available on the app, just adapted to a smaller screen.

To get the Ladbrokes app, head to the relevant app store for your device - for iOS, this is the App Store and for Android users, Google Play.

The question punters ask of every betting site. And an important one too. I mean, who wants to wait around for their winnings?

This certainly isn’t the case at Ladbrokes, especially if you have a Ladbrokes The Grid card. With one of these, you can collect online winnings from your local Ladbrokes shop.

As far as other methods are concerned, VISA Fast Funds withdrawals are processed within 4 hours. For PayPal, Skrill and Paysafecard, it's within 8 hours.

Withdrawals made using a debit card can take up to three banking days to come through.

Overall, Ladbrokes provides punters with a variety of quick withdrawal options.

Online gambling doesn’t end with sports betting, and Ladbrokes ensures every customer's needs are met.

Ladbrokes Casino

The selection of live table games is very good. There are different variants of Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat and Poker available to play.

Under “Gaming” you will find an array of slots, including popular titles The Goonies, Fishin’ Frenzy and Age of the Gods. Irish favourites, Leprechaun’s Vault and Lock O’ The Irish feature too.

Gameshow-based titles such as Monopoly Live, Deal or No Deal and The Money Drop are also part of a packed casino section.

Ladbrokes stacks up very well. They certainly give Bet365 a good run for their money, particularly when it comes to football and horse racing. As we’ve said for these two sports, there are few better bookmakers.

Ladbrokes excel with their range of betting promotions and games too: Betting specials, Odds Boosts and Price Boosts regularly feature and free-to-play predictor games like 1-2-Free and 5-A-Side enable existing customers to earn free bets.

As mentioned, Ladbrokes also offer a great acca package, while their live streaming service is as strong as other top bookies.

Though user-friendly, Ladbrokes isn’t as smooth and quick as Bet365 and we reckon Ladbrokes could improve the layout of the homepage - it’s not as neat as BetVictor and BoyleSports. Minor grumbles but all told, Ladbrokes is comfortably one of the best online bookies in Ireland.
