Please note: Ladbrokes Poker does not accept real-money players from the United States.

Overview
Ladbrokes is a well-established British bookmaker, with many land-based betting offices. While their presence in the UK sports betting market is sizeable, their poker room is quite small. Fixed-limit games are almost non-existant on this site, even during peak hours.

Bonus
Ladbrokes offers a variety of signup bonuses, ranging from a straight $20 signup bonus that is easy to clear to a 25% deposit bonus up to $500 that is very difficult to clear.

Tournaments
Ladbrokes' scheduled tournaments are proportioned heavily towards rebuy events. As a somewhat smaller poker room, their tournaments usually draw around 150 players for most of the standard daily tournaments. High stakes players enjoy the daily $100 rebuy $30,000 guaranteed tournament. The sit-n-gos on this site priced higher than $10 are not popular.

Software
The software is smooth and easy to use. It was developed by Microgaming, and is the same software used by the Prima Poker network.

Competition Level
Ladbrokes games are about average in terms of difficulty. Shorthanded no-limit hold'em is by far the most popular game played at this site.
