LADBROKES POKER REVIEW

Ladbrokes Poker Review

Ladbrokes Poker is part of the copious Microgaming Poker Network, averaging thousands of players at peak hours. The network actually has a lot going for its players, including valuable promotions, an extensive tournament schedule and a buffet of freeroll opportunities.

Launched in 2000, Ladbrokes Poker has the backing of a century old gambling organization. The Ladbrokes company was founded in 1886, and is now one of the oldest and most successful online gambling companies in Europe. Ladbrokes Poker is geared towards international poker players and, unfortunately, does not accept members from the United States. Sign up and make a first-time deposit to claim a welcome bonus worth as much as $1,000 (or currency equivalent).

Bonus

Ladbrokes rewards all first-time depositors with a bonus that could be worth anywhere from $50 to $1,000 (or currency equivalent; i.e. £35 to £675 GBP). The amount you earn is dependent on your poker play, not your first deposit, though a $50 (or £35) minimum is required to be eligible for the bonus.

Once your deposit is made, start playing online poker and earning points. For the next 45 days, all of the points you generate will determine the size of your bonus. Collect 1,750-3,499 for a $50 (£35) bonus, scaling up to $100 (£75), $225 (£150), $450 (£300), and the highest level of $1,000 (£675) bonus for accumulating 35k points. When the 45 days are up, claim your bonus and the cash is yours to keep, play with, withdrawal, whatever you please.
