Ladbrokes Poker Overview

Ladbrokes Poker is one of the most well-known gambling brand names in the world and is one of Europe’s largest online card rooms. Ladbrokes is now part of the ever growing and extremely large Microgaming Poker Network. That means their player base has just expanded and average prize pools are on the increase! However, if players don't want to be up against everyone on the Microgaming world they can opt to play against only Ladbrokes players in No-limit Hold’em cash games up to the $2/$4 stakes.

SNGs and tournaments are receiving more action from $.50 and up. There are many scheduled guarantees receiving a lot of action, unfortunately, most of them are quite small with buy-ins below $10. For SNG grinders there are plenty different formats, games, and stakes offered. Some of the more popular games are their small-stakes turbos as well as their "double up" SNGs which are more commonly known as Double-or-Nothing SNGs. Ladbrokes offers a wide variety of games for the poker enthusiast. They have Texas Hold'em, 5 Card Draw, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud, 5 Card Stud, and Razz. Poker isn't the only thing offered on Ladbrokes though. Ladbrokes also has an online casino, sports betting, bingo, online games, and financial market betting. With everything else on offer the poker tables are sure to attract some novices.

Ladbrokes utilizes the acclaimed Microgaming software for their traditional 2D poker room that we previously noted as being very user friendly. Ladbrokes also offers a 3D poker client where players have the option of playing the same games but with a little added flavor. Recently Ladbrokes added the ability to resize their tables, which is a great bonus for those who enjoy multi-tabling.

As expected of such a huge brand name, Ladbrokes accepts deposits via a number of ways, including all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Delta, MasterCard, Solo) as well as via Western Union, BankTransfer, PayPal and UKash. Just remember Americans are not allowed to play on Ladbrokes and will be unable to register an account there.

Ladbrokes Poker Software Interface/Usability

Surprisingly, the new 3D poker software at Ladbrokes Poker runs very well, given the fact that the file took us around 25 minutes (Wow!) to download via a standard DSL connection. Even the standard download takes a few extra minutes compared to similar sites. By using the 3D software you can now create your own character to play as and tailor his/her looks to either match yourself or your ideal online alter ego. This allows players to be a bit more creative and going for an alternative look adds to the fun of the game. Players can choose to display real human-like emotions on the table. For example, if you are on tilt from a bad beat you can express your dissatisfaction by taunting opponents with fish-like movements!

Players can also now chat together for real using the VoIP (Voice over Internet protocol) function which adds to the 3D experience. This is a great option for all those who enjoy a bit of "speech play". This could even pave the way for the next online Tony G, or Scotty Nguyen where you can make speeches such as “I’m all in baby!”

Another useful addition is the live poker stats that they offer, where draw percentages, pot odds and best hand indicators can be displayed. The lobby is easy to navigate as there are tabs for each game and specific stakes. Some of the newer features include an auto-rebuy feature, a new and improved bet slider, and deep stacked cash game tables with antes. Finally, Ladbrokes has improved their player for multi-tablers by giving grinders the ability to resize their tables.

All of these upgrade pale in comparison the Micrograming's newest software which is currently exclusive to Ladbrokes Poker. 1-Click Poker makes playing online poker much easier and should bring a lot of new players to the game. Accessible from their sportsbook, 1-click software allows a player to go straight to a table after just three simple choices: real/play money, ring game or SNG, and buy-in amount. This is a great new tool and should bring a lot of loose gamblers to your tables! In addition to 1-Click Poker, Ladbrokes has developed software that is Mac compatible. Macintosh users can experience all the features their PC brethren had access to for years!

Ladbrokes Poker Promotion Code & Bonus

Ladbrokes Poker offers its members a unique bonus. Recreational players and veteran grinders both get a 250% bonus of up £1000/€1250/$1500! In order to ensure that you receive this bonus, make sure to signup with the links on this page and enter the Ladbrokes Promotion Code FTRBONUS when creating your account. You must deposit at least $15 (£10).

The bonus is released in 20% increments, so if you’re going for the full $1,500, your bonus will be released whenever you’ve cleared $300. You have 60 days to clear the bonus.

The clearing requirement is 32 Player Points for each $1 of bonus. You earn Poker Points by playing in real money cash games or tournaments. You earn 10 Poker Points for every dollar you pay in rake or tournament fees. In other words, you will get $1 back for every $3.2 in rake. That’s over 30% in equivalent rakeback!

Players will not earn points at 0.01/0.02 cash games.

Grind hard to earn the top bonus because this opportunity only comes along once! And speaking of a one time opportunity, in your first month you have the chance to earn up to $2,500 in your first month—$1,500 for the welcome bonus and another $1,000 for their loyalty bonus! Plus, earn even more when you place well in one of Ladbrokes' leaderboards or cash races. That’s a lot of cash to get within your first month!

Overall, Ladbrokes has gone from being a rather dated poker room to one of the leading rooms in terms of offering players a 3-Dimensional poker experience. Poker players can now capitalize on making speech plays or can even give off false tells by scratching their noses! The 3D option is a very welcome one and it appears that this is where online poker will be heading in the future.

In addition to a handsome bonus and software enhancements, Ladbrokes also features an exclusive Poker Club. Everyone starts out at the Bronze level and can advance to Silver, Gold, and finally VIP. The rewards get better as you move up the VIP ladder, so the best idea is just to grind. You just need 500 points to get to Silver Status. You can spend your points on tournaments, Sit and Gos, and in their brand new Poker Shop. Their exclusive shop offers iPods, Ray-Ban Sunglasses, and even a Porsche car! If you're looking to relax the Poker Shop also boasts trips to Monte Carlo, New York, and Dubai.
