Overview
Ladbrokes
Poker is one of the foremost online
poker sites for players in
Europe. Ladbrokes offers
WSOP (World Series of Poker) qualifiers
which, unlike most poker sites, are
approved by the WSOP, and are not just
tournaments for which the prize is a
buy-in to the WSOP. Among other
offerings are daily freerolls, low and
high-stakes tables, and a full range of
online poker games, including five and
seven-card stud, along with standard
Omaha
and Texas Holdem offerings.
Download and Registration
Ladbrokes
Poker offers users the options of
playing both Flash and downloaded
versions of their online poker games.
Flash games do not require downloads,
but do not open in Firefox. Players who
wish to play the flash version will need
to use Internet Explorer. To play for
free, new players need to create a free
account. The process is slightly
annoying, because it requires moving
from window to window a few times, but
fortunately, it only needs to be done
once. The system assigns user names, but
players can choose their own passwords.
For a real money account, of course, the
system requires much more personal
information, such as address and phone
number.
Interface
The interface is fairly simple.
Buttons are big and easy to see, and
Ladbrokes offers the full range of
automatic play options. Annoyingly, upon
folding, the software offers the option
of mucking or showing cards, even when
auto-muck is selected. Both in Flash and
in the downloaded version, the software
shows a simple table without any
avatars. Players are represented by a
small box with their self-chosen alias
printed on it. Players in the game are
represented by a green box, while those
who have opted to sit out are shown in
gray.
International Use
Although based in the
UK,
Ladbrokes offers a variety of languages,
including Spanish, Norwegian, Danish,
Swedish, Italian, Turkish, Portuguese,
and Greek. The site also accepts a
variety of different currencies.
Banking
Ladbrokes Poker offers a wide
variety of deposit options in many
different currencies. Options include
credit cards, wire transfers, e-cheques,
and services such as PayPal and NETeller.
Special Features
One
of the more interesting features you will
find on Ladbrokes Poker is their special
students section.
Ladbrokes
Poker has a
variety of special offers for registered
students in the
UK.
These special offers include posting
pictures from land-based student games,
special student freerolls, special
contests, and even a student poker
cruise.
