Ladbrokes review

Ladbrokes quick facts

How the score is built

Each score is a weighted average of up to five criteria, each out of 10. Two are calculated from public data (regulatory record and app store rating); three are editorial judgments based on documented features, payment terms and offer terms. A criterion without verified evidence (an offer in Ontario, an app rating we could not confirm) is left out and the other weights are rescaled. Full method.

• Regulatory record: no fines or settlements found since January 1, 2023 in the markets covered here. UK 10.0.
• Betting product: One of the fullest UK feature sets: Bet Builder+, partial cash out, 2Up, acca insurance and strong racing extras.
• App quality: UK 4.7 stars on App Store (UK) (as reported by Gambling.com) = 8.0.
• Payments & payouts: Instant Pay by Bank and Fast Funds card payouts, but slower card withdrawals at other banks.
• Welcome offer (UK): Six times a £5 stake at a modest 1/2 minimum, but a 7-day expiry and many excluded payment methods.
