Ladbrokes
One of the oldest bookmakers in the country, Ladbrokes originally targeted the upper classes for their horse racing bets. Formed as commissioning agents for horses that had trained at Warwickshire’s Ladbroke Hall, it’s no wonder that they’re famed for their horse racing coverage. They’re also one of just a handful of bookies that have high street shops and allow customers to interact with their online accounts in store by making deposits and withdrawing winnings and so on.
Having been in business since 1886 the company has become one of the most trusted around, but their age doesn’t mean that they haven’t moved with the times. Their site offers both sportsbook betting and a decent casino and slots section, so they’re very much a ‘one stop shop’ for punters who like to have all of their betting needs in one place. They’ve been offering their services online since 2000 and has also worked hard to expand the business globally.
