Canadians have a lot in common with the United Kingdom – including sharing the same Queen who applies Royal Assent to the laws in Canada.

Ladbrokes History

Almost older than dirt itself, and originally securing their place by offering Ladbrokes horse betting, this UK wagering giant was founded in 1886. Once UK betting shops were legalized, in 1961, Ladbrokes grew quickly as their land-based wagering outlets went from 50 to over 1,100 shops in a span of six years. Owning a long achievement list, Ladbrokes is credited with being the first to offer fixed odds soccer betting in Great Britain.

Gambling legends, for decades, anyone with access to Ladbrokes online betting is treated to some of the best sports, casino, poker and horse wagering action on the Planet.

Long time gambling industry leaders, Ladbrokes has been through a lot over the past hundred plus years. Following their acquisition of the Gala Coral Group, in 2015, Ladbrokes Coral became the biggest bookmaker in Britain. GVC Holdings, a huge brick and mortar and online UK gambling operator, purchased Ladbrokes in 2018 and maintains their name and branding today. We look forward to Ladbrokes arriving in Canada.

Continuing to offer a massive amount of exciting handicapping options, including Ladbrokes financial betting, this UK wagering giant maintains high-level industry status. Though UK based, lines on North American events, like Ladbrokes Super Bowl odds, are offered daily. Beyond sports, bettors can also enjoy Ladbrokes Vegas style LIVE casino, poker room card play and of course pony betting from tracks around the world.
