Ladbrokes offers betting on a number of sporting and non-sporting events, with horseracing being the most popular sport it offers odds on, followed by football.
Ladbrokes currently operates in the UK, Australia, Belgium, Ireland, Italy and Spain.
Ladbrokes was incorporated in England and Wales in 1956 and was floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1967. Ladbrokes’ experience in wagering and betting extends back to 1886 when its founders, Pennington and Schwind, went into partnership as commission agents, principally with the objective of backing horses trained by Pennington at Ladbrokes Hall in Worcestershire. Ladbrokes gained its name in 1902 when Arthur Bendir joined the partnership and changed the emphasis of the business from backing horses to laying them as a bookmaker.
In 1956, the company was sold to Mark Stein (known as Max Parker) and his nephew, Cyril Stein. Immediately following the acquisition, Ladbrokes introduced ‘no limit’ and ‘ante post’ betting and sponsored its first horse race.
The Ladbrokes Group believes that its heritage and strong brand presence in the UK provide a competitive advantage in an industry where attracting and maintaining customers is crucial to developing the business. The Ladbrokes brand is long-established, trusted and widely recognised.
Ladbrokes offers odds on sports such as horseracing, football, rugby, cricket, tennis, golf, motor racing, greyhound racing, darts, snooker, American football, baseball, basketball and ice hockey. The company accepts a range of different types of bets from simple bets on the outcome of a single event to more complex bets, such as accumulator bets on the outcome of a number of different races or sporting events.
Ladbrokes also offers a number of gaming products such as slots, casino games, bingo, poker and other skill games. Gaming products are games whose outcome is dependent on chance, such as roulette or slot machines. Although skill games are partly based on chance, some argue that the odds can be changed over the long run based on the application of skill. This applies in games between customers, such as poker.
With gaming products, the customer bets against the house and Ladbrokes Group makes its profit based on probabilities in the long run of different events occurring and applying risk limits. In skill games, the Ladbrokes Group enables customers to play against each other, thereby taking on no principal gaming risk itself. In return for facilitating these games, Ladbrokes charges commission, in poker known as a ‘rake’, or a one-off entry fee for tournaments.
A Ladbroke licensed betting office consists of a high street storefront that contains one or more over the counter betting positions where customers place their bets and settle their winnings. Television screens and seating are provided, enabling customers to follow live sporting events. Licensed betting offices also provide fixed odds betting terminals and self service betting terminals and gaming machines such as jackpot slot machines, roulette, blackjack and video poker.
Ladbrokes also owns greyhound stadia in the UK and has a holding in Satellite Information Services, a data and content provider to the betting and gaming industry.
Ladbrokes.com offers pre-event and in-play betting on sporting events, as well as betting on political, entertainment and other newsworthy events. The gaming offering includes casino, slots, poker, bingo and virtual sports. Ladbrokes’ digital offering also includes two betting exchanges, the Ladbrokes Exchange and Betdaq, which allow customers to lay the outcome of an event as well as back them.
Ladbrokes has a loyalty scheme called ‘The Grid’, which:
- Offers promotions and rewards.
- Enables retail customers to scan, track and cash out retail bets online.
- Enables cash deposits and withdrawals of online funds via a single wallet across retail and digital channels.
Ladbrokes manage trading risk in their bookmaking products by:
- Employing a team of expert odds compilers and bookmaking risk managers.
- Accessing market information before odds are compiled and after odds are published.
- Tightly controlled bet acceptance limits. Ladbrokes is under no obligation to accept any bet.
- Hedging
In gaming machine and online gaming products, it’s possible for Ladbrokes to incur losses in the short term, but over time, the margin reverts to predetermined averages and hedging is not required.

PHOENIX (AP) – Arizonans would be allowed to bet on professional and college sports at tribal casinos and at sites owned by pro sports teams under a proposal that is part of an update to the state’s deal that allows Native American tribes to run casinos.
The wide-ranging proposal introduced in the Arizona House on Monday would also allow bets to be placed online, fantasy sports wagering, and add limited Keno games at off-track betting locations and social clubs like the American Legion.
The proposal introduced by Republican Rep. Jeff Weninger of Chandler has been anticipated since GOP Gov. Doug Ducey announced “an opportunity for a modernized gaming compact that will bring in more revenue for our tribal nations and our state budget,” in his State of the State address last month. Ducey has been working on a new deal with tribes for several years, hoping it can boost state revenue by allowing gambling outside of tribal-run casinos.
That’s just what the deal does, Weninger said Tuesday, although the anticipated revenue hasn’t been released.
“With that comes tax revenue without raising taxes, and allows us to keep our tax rates low,” Weninger said in an interview.
The biggest part of the plan would allow pro sports teams like the Phoenix Coyotes, Arizona Diamondbacks and Arizona Cardinals run sports betting operations at their respective venues, at a retail location within a quarter mile and online. There would be 10 licenses awarded to sports, which could include professional golf and even NASCAR, Weninger said.
Tribes would also get 10 licenses and could run sports books at two dozen tribal casinos in the state.
The tribes, which have fiercely protected their exclusive right to most gambling in the state under the gaming compact approved by the state’s voters in 2002, get the right to build some new casinos under an updated deal. And in a big win, they would also be allowed to greatly expand their exclusive gambling offerings, adding games like Baccarat and craps to existing offerings of slot machines, blackjack and poker.

And there are options for online gambling as well, allowing growing online gambling sites like Draft Kings to piggyback on the licenses.
Fantasy sports gambling also is embraced by Weninger’s proposal. The state would allow any company that meets it standards to run fantasy sports gambling operations.
Both the legislation and a 20-year extension of the state’s gaming compact with tribes must be adopted for either to go into effect.
Getchen Conger, Ducey’s deputy chief of staff, said the deal will help tribes and pro sport teams that have struggled during the coronavirus pandemic. And the plan is certain to boost state revenue, but it will take some time for the amount to become clear, especially revenue from gambling on sporting events.
“This is the million-dollar question,” Conger said. “It really depends on what the uptake is on the event wagering.”
The state gets a cut of the gambling profit, which will go to the general fund. Money from tribal gaming goes to special state accounts and local governments. In the fiscal year that ended on June 30, 2020, tribes brought in nearly $2 billion in gambling revenue and the state received $102 million, according to a Department of Gaming report, while cities received $13 million.
