Article updated 2021 - Advertisement Before you read any more of this article, I want to make it clear that this is a personal view on the Ladbrokes brand and solely my opinions and experiences. Ladbrokes are a household brand when it comes to online betting all over the world. They are one of the oldest bookmakers with a rich history of providing a first-class betting service to customers and they are still affectionately known as the Magic Sign. In more recent times, Ladbrokes have merged together with Coral to become a “super bookmaker” and that means that they have the most betting shops in the UK, while they also have a massive online presence and are certainly to be considered as a Premier League operator. How to Claim £20 Free When You Sign Up I’ve enjoyed betting with Ladbrokes for many years and they always create a new customer welcome bonus which means you can get a big free bet for a small stake. The current offer is no different and you can get your hands on a £20 free bet by simply depositing and staking £5 with this firm. The first step is to visit the Ladbrokes website and ensure that you use the promo code 20FREE when you sign up. By doing this, I’ve been told that Ladbrokes will know you are a new customer who is eligible to enjoy £20 in free bets when you make that first deposit and bet. Once you have opened an account, you then need to make a deposit. There are a variety of payment methods available, although we recommend that you avoid using PayPal as Ladbrokes have told me that this won’t be eligible for the welcome bonus at the moment. I recommend using a debit or credit card if you have one available. Simply make a deposit of at least £5 and then place a bet of at least £5. This first bet must be placed at odds of 1/2 (1.50) or bigger in order to trigger the £20 in free bets. The £20 in free bets are broken down into 4 x £5 bets which means four different chances to win with your free bets. Please remember that the free bet stake isn’t returned so it’s a case of trying to make a profit with these free bets. Any winnings are yours to keep without any turnover requirement. Latest Features There are lots of features available at the Ladbrokes website, with promotions galore along with the chance to enjoy In-Play betting and Cash Out. Ladbrokes are constantly innovating with their website to provide a cutting-edge to their customers and I’m impressed by some of the latest releases. Bet In-Play with Ladbrokes In-Play betting is all the rage with Ladbrokes customers these days. I reckon I place 75% of my own bets In-Play when it comes to football and it’s simply an exciting way of having a bet when you are watching a live match on TV. The odds are constantly changing and In-Play means that you get a chance to see what’s happening before placing your bet. Ladbrokes have got a whole section devoted to In-Play betting and you’ll be pleased to see that they are covering sporting events live on a 24/7 basis. Football, tennis, basketball, snooker, darts, golf and volleyball are among the most popular sports covered and I’ve never been short of options as a customer. Enjoy Live Streaming with Ladbrokes Many bookmakers now provide customers with a chance to watch live sport in addition to betting on it. It basically means that you get to access HD quality live streaming of a sporting event and there is usually plenty of choice, particularly if you are a football fan. You can find live streaming at the Ladbrokes website by visiting the In-Play & Streaming section, with the live streams being accompanied by the In-Play betting odds. The two go hand in hand and the streaming is a perfect way of being able to see what’s happening in the sporting event before placing your bets. Cash Out for a Profit We are living in the age of Cash Out and I reckon I Cash Out of my In-Play bets at least 50% of the time. Sometimes it’s for a profit and sometimes I want to cut my losses but having the choice to Cash Out is fantastic and Ladbrokes provide you with Cash Out on many sports and markets. You will find Cash Out on your betslip if your bet is eligible for Cash Out. You can either choose to take the Cash Out amount (which might be more, the same or less than your original stake) or alternatively choose to remain in the bet. I do use this from time to time on my acca bets. Sometimes it's worth even getting your stake back to have another go another day. Give Your Odds a Lift Ladbrokes have recently started offering customers an Odds Boost, with customers getting the power to boost odds instantly. This bookie will pick out some of the most popular sporting events of the day and provide customers with the chance to enjoy an inflated price about a particular football team winning or a player scoring first. This is the most important feature Ladbrokes currently offer. Every time I send out my acca tips, I use Ladbrokes in my odds comparison as they allow you to use the odds boosts on accumulators. YOU CANNOT IGNORE THIS OFFER Right now Ladbrokes and William Hill are the two bookies offering an acca odds boost. This almost guarantee's them to be stand out price for my tips. If you want to return the highest amount of cash this season then you need a Ladbrokes account for sure! Get Best Odds Guaranteed for Horse Racing I love placing bets on horse racing with Ladbrokes. This is partly due to them having extra places on selected races but mainly because I know that I will either get the price of the horse at that exact moment or alternatively the starting price if it’s bigger. The same applies to greyhounds and it means that you always get the bigger price depending on whether the odds on your selection drift, comes in or stays the same.
