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. They recently left their stand-alone poker room to merge with Microgaming. This merger has boosted the size of their player pool which was a crucial thing for their operations since they were previously quite small.

They also recently began accepting customers from Germany.

Bonus
By using bonus code TIPS, players can receive a bonus of up to €735. One must deposit a minimum of €35 in order to be eligible for this bonus. Players have 45 days from the date of their first deposit to collect as many poker points as they can. The size of one's bonus depends on how many points they earn in their first 45 days.

1,750 to 3,499 gets a €35 bonus.
3,500 to 7,499 gets a €70 bonus.
7,500 to 14,999 gets a €165 bonus.
15,000 to 34,999 gets a €330 bonus.
Earn more than 35,000 points and receive the full €735 bonus.

Promotions
Ladbrokes holds some really nice promotions. They send players to the WSOP and on board their annual Poker Cruise.

Their Poker Player Club rewards players for accumulating points at their real-money tables. Earn enough points each month and participate in freerolls with prize pools of €1,500 and up. Points can also be redeemed for real-money tournament buy-ins.

Tournaments
Ladbrokes is on a decently-sized network, so they have some pretty good tournaments. The €100k guaranteed €50 rebuy event on Sundays is very popular. Their sit-'n'-gos generate a good amount of interest at the smaller stakes.

Software
The software is smooth and easy to use. They have made improvements to it recently to make it even more user-friendly than it already was.

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.
