About Ladbrokes
Ladbrokes is one of the longest-established names in British betting, and this page pulls together everything the operator publishes about who runs it, what it offers and how to get in touch. If you have ever wondered who is actually behind the red and white branding, here are the straight answers.
Who is Ladbrokes?
Ladbrokes is run by LC International Limited, which operates the brand under a UK Gambling Commission licence. For players in the United Kingdom, that is the single most important line on this page: a UKGC licence means the operator must meet strict standards on fairness, player fund protection and responsible gambling, and it means Ladbrokes is fully legal for UK players.
The brand’s history stretches back to 1999 in its current online form, making it one of the more established operators on the British market. That long track record matters in practical terms — this is not a fly-by-night site, but a regulated business that answers to the UK Gambling Commission.
What does Ladbrokes offer?
The operator’s catalogue covers both sports betting and casino play, with a game library of around 800 titles. That is a solid mid-sized collection — enough variety to keep things fresh without drowning you in near-identical slots. There is also a live casino section, so table game fans can play roulette, blackjack and the like with real dealers rather than random number generators.
The full range is available on mobile as well, so you can place a bet or spin a few reels from your phone rather than needing a desktop.
Beyond the core games, Ladbrokes runs three named player features:
- LadBucks
- Clash of the Day
- 1-2-Free
These sit alongside the regular sportsbook and casino as extra ways the operator keeps regulars engaged.
How do I contact Ladbrokes?
Ladbrokes offers customer support in English through four channels: Live Chat on the site, two freephone numbers (0800 731 6191 and 0800 032 1133), and the social channel X (formerly Twitter) via @LadbrokesCare. Two separate freephone lines means no call charges for UK players, and Live Chat covers you if you would rather type than talk.
- Live Chat — available directly on the Ladbrokes site
- Phone — 0800 731 6191 or 0800 032 1133 (freephone within the UK)
- X (formerly Twitter) — @LadbrokesCare
Support is provided in English, which suits the UK market but is worth knowing if you were hoping for help in another language.
