Any reviews of Ladbrokes?

They seem to have a sweet bonus on, so I might check it out.

Bonues is 25% up to $100, and you just have to wager your initial deposit. So if you play 37 $11 SnGs, you get a $100 bonus, which is way +EV

Pros

Woefully bad players
Multi tabling
No US players /images/graemlins/wink.gif
Did I mention woefully bad players

Cons

Painfully mindnumbingly slow
No US players /images/graemlins/smirk.gif /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

That just about covers it.

How bad are the players, say compared to PS or PArty.

Looking at the T&C for the offer there are additional requirements before you can cash out - you have to stake the bonus amount 4 times over, so thats another 37 S&Gs in your example!

The 0.5/1 players are worse than Party. You'll see an average flop percentage in the high 50s, but after the flop, they suddenly turn weak-tight. My main gripe there was the lack of players, and now that they have 0.5/1 6-max as well, I'm not even sure you'll find 0.5/1 full tables going.

The micro limit and NL ring games are worse than party, the 5+1 and 10+1 SNG players are worse than party, the main downside is the length of time a SNG takes.

They use the same software as the Prima skins but aren't part of that network, so if you've played at any of these (e.g Gaming Club, Royal Vegas, Bet365, etc) you'll find the experience very similar.

It's hard to tell. Players from ladbrokes come from their sportbetting. So most of them are gamblers trying something new. But they die really fast, all the players are eaten by the sharks.
And the fact that there no Americans makes it worse. Because an average American makes 2-3 times more money then an European. So if you guys lose lets say $500 is no biggie. If an European loses $500 it's a big deal.

We need more americans /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Iv played alot on ladbrokes and I have to say it sucks BIG-TIME. I got an inital $25 dollar sign up bonus and a further $25 for makeing a profile and thats the only bonus's that came my way the whole 3 months i played their. I started off playing poker on ladbrokes and learned the game their. Would'nt go back now tho, I found the crypto skins a far more profitale experiance. Made more on 1-2 on crypto's in a week than i made in 2 months of ladbrokes at .25-.50 and .50-1. The players do suck at ladbrokes but site is poor the software sucks they hardly ever offer decent bonuses and the hand history export feature no longer seems to work. That was the final straw for me.

do they really check addresses? anyone know? id like to get on here, is all of north america blocked or just US? thanks

[thenlguru]

Just USA. But if you are planning to play bigger game i.e 100 200 fixed or 15/30plo games are sometimes very hard. And full of Swedish and Finnish pros, dont about the lower games tho.

The number of pros per shoal of fish is wildly much higher in Europe than in the US. Add to this the fact that americans have a higher disposable income, and you really want american fish.

That said the low limit games at Ladbrokes are (were?) truly No Fold'em. It's sportsbooks bettors trying out a new thing. A lot like Pacific when you think about it, people with no real knowledge of poker being sucked in. Also the software sucks. So, alot like Pacific.

They use the same software as the Prima skins, but they don't share a network. It looks like a prima skin, it's the same software, but it's not a prima skin.

I play on Ladbrooks purely for the MTT Tournaments which are awesome. Players are terrible (like the worst you can hope to find) and you get a really good selection of buy ins. I dont like the ring games because there is never a good table selelction.
