We couldn’t open Ladbrokes’ promotions page, so see operator for current offer. During earlier research we saw a headline of £30 in free bets (6 × £5) for a £5 sports stake, but it didn’t appear in Ladbrokes’ app description when we re-checked on 20 October 2026, so we haven’t relied on it.
For how stake-not-returned tokens are valued, see how free bets work; for play-through conditions, see wagering requirements explained. Compare other current deals on our free bets page.
Offers for existing customers
Ladbrokes’ app listing describes Odds Boosts on horse and greyhound bets, Acca Boosts, 2Up & Win (your football bet is paid out as a winner if your team goes two goals up) and daily deals. We didn’t verify the terms – 2Up-style offers usually apply only to selected matches and markets. See our acca insurance guide.
Is Ladbrokes legit? Licence and safety checks
On 20 October 2026 the register showed LC International Limited (account 54743) with an active remote betting licence (start date 1 July 2019) and ladbrokes.com as an active domain. The same licence holder covers Coral. You can check this yourself: scroll to the footer of the Ladbrokes site, note the company name and account number, and search it on the Gambling Commission public register. Check that the licence status is “Active”, that it covers remote betting, and that the exact domain you’re using is listed. A licence means the operator must verify your age and identity, hold customer funds under disclosed protection rules, offer safer gambling tools and use an approved dispute resolution service. It doesn’t mean any bet is safe from loss, and it doesn’t guarantee good service.
Before you sign up with Ladbrokes
- Decide your budget first, and set a deposit limit when the site prompts you – before your first deposit.
- Read the significant terms beside the welcome offer: qualifying stake and odds, payment exclusions, expiry and any restrictions on how the free bets can be used.
- Check that your preferred payment method is accepted and qualifies for the offer.
- Have ID ready. Licensed operators must verify you before you can gamble, and may ask for more documents before a withdrawal.
- Only place the qualifying bet if it’s a bet you would be happy to make anyway. If the offer doesn’t suit how you bet, you don’t have to take it.
Sports and markets
The listing covers football, horse racing (every runner, every race, including forecasts and superfectas) and greyhounds. We didn’t verify the wider sports list.
