Ladbrokes Poker is the sister site of the giant UK betting operation Ladbrokes. With an online presence since 1998, they launched their online poker site back in 2000. Even though they use a version of the Microgaming software, they do not currently rely on the networks traffic to populate their tables. For 2009 however, that’s going to change as they have announced that they will join the Microgaming Network as a full partner. Since their existing software is licensed from Microgaming, customers will notice little change to their gaming experience. US players are not allowed at Ladbrokes

There are three versions of their poker client available to players. A no-download instant game that’s a standard view, a download version of the standard client, and a 3D view download version if you like animation and customizable characters. By offering multiple versions of their software (including the no-download option) this site will appeal to Mac poker players as well as PC owners.

Cash game selection at Ladbrokes is decent with the major focus being Texas Hold’Em. As players grow tired of that poker variant it does appear that some are moving to other games offered like Omaha. Traffic is lower at this site but due to the lure of poker to their existing sports betting clientele the games are quite lucrative. Tournaments are a-plenty with monthly 150K and 250K guarantees as well as many daily games propped up by free rolls. They also offer exclusive online qualifiers to Europe’s richest live poker tournament, the Poker Million. If you like re-buys then Ladbrokes is a great choice too, as they seem to offer the most daily re-buy tournaments of any site I’ve seen.

Games being spread at Ladbrokes include:

• Texas Hold’em
• Omaha (high and high-low)
• 7 Card Stud
• Five Card Draw
• Five Card Stud

The loyalty program at Ladbrokes is called the “VIP Club” and offers rake back every month and the opportunity to attend special live events. Ladbrokes is world-class from the VIP perspective having flown their clients around the globe in order to entertain their best players. Past excursions have sent folks to the Irish Poke Festival in Killarney, the Barcelona Grand Prix, and tickets to the Dubai World Cup (the richest horse race in the world). Keep in mind that these are monthly packages and not once a year type propositions.

Support is easy to access via their Self Help Section, email, or telephone support both inside and outside the UK. Getting your money onto Ladbrokes is a breeze as well as they accept many different methods to fund your account.

Overall Ladbrokes is a good poker site that’s only going to improve once they’ve joined the Microgaming Network (more traffic). Add in their great loyalty program and interesting mix of tournaments, and multiple versions of their gaming software and you’ve got the recipe for success. Download Ladbrokes Poker Now!
