Ladbrokes Poker Review
Ladbrokes has more players than any other European Poker room. Poker players want a service with plenty of choice of players to play, different game variations
to enjoy and big tournament jackpots to win.
Ladbrokes is the world's biggest betting and gaming company. It's size and reputation reassures players that they will be dealt fairly and paid promptly. Ladbrokes,
unlike other sites, does not employ robot players, shills or house players. After Ladbrokes launched Poker in 2002, one expert said "When online poker centred on dodgy
companies operating out of Costa Rica and Antigua, consumer confidence was low but the game still attracted millions, now that big boys like Ladbrokes have moved in, we're on a whole
different level'. (David Rai, quoted in "Poker: it's the new football".)
"Ladbrokes has some of the best games around. There is great multi-way pot action in all forms of poker." - Online Poker Review. Ladbrokes
Poker has the widest range of staking options and the highest average pot size on the web.
There are thousands of professional players in the US and they make US Poker sites hard places to win money. Ladbrokes is popular, paradoxically, because it is
the only site in the world that does not take US players for legal reasons. Ladbrokes is commonly regarded as the best place to play Poker as a novice player.
Unlike other operators, Ladbrokes offers a painless commission free currency exchange service into US Dollars. (All Poker staking takes place in USD). Ladbrokes
does not use bid / offer rates but instead runs floating mid-point prices for over 15 different currencies. There are no restrictions on taking out your winnings at Ladbrokes. Other
operators send out cheques that can take up to three weeks to arrive. Ladbrokes pay your winnings to your bank account, immediately, upon request and you can use Switch and Delta
cards.
Ladbrokes employs a team of professional poker card room managers who are always online to resolve disputes and provide support and advice for novice players.
Ladbrokes is 50% owner of the land based Poker Million event with Barry Hearn's Matchroom Sport. Ladbrokes Poker most recently sponsored the Poker
Million Masters, shown live on Sky Sports and around the world on other networks. In a thrilling final, the UK snooker player, Jimmy White won the $360,000 event, causing one of the
biggest upsets in World Poker. (Jimmy was quoted as the 100-1 outsider when Ladbrokes opened betting on the event.)
The most recent Poker Million tournament was the first to include online contestants who had qualified through Ladbrokes online Poker. Ladbrokes is
committed to popularising Poker by funding Poker Million and providing online players with the opportunity to become Poker stars on the live TV stage. By joining the Ladbrokes Poker
