This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I do not believe that the roulette fixed odd machines are random.When I complained to the gambling commission they told me that I had to complain directly to Ladbrokes - how far is that going to get me ?
Using the same betting methods I use in a casino I lost 10 successive times & it is remarkable how the areas of my strongest bets were consistently missed.Something is definitely suspicious.
When I leave a casino and have lost, at least I don't feel cheated.

All the games are compensated and not one of them is random. This is fraud but they get away with it because of the pathetic ukgc who have already been proven to be unfit for purpose yet still being allowed to regulate this extremely volatile industry.

You can complain to your last breath and you will NEVER get anywhere. Too well protected!

I am contacting the people who should be checking these machines every so often, gambling commisinare etc these machines need to be check, another thing get two bouns smybols and wIating for that third the reel goes faster missing it, If someone looked at the last six months money going in and money paid out they will see how much we are being ripped off and profit massive and getting higher, this needs to be done, why so much is taken and I get about 15% is paid out, so they can work out percentage higher amount played should be higher paid out, and someone works out the players return is not percentage it should it's theft

How on earth does staff know when on free spins and slot machine malfunctions know what is paid out before spins ends so that's not fixed, I played 50p spins ended up putting £300 in not a single bonus at all, on a game stupid I know, moved to next machine someone same game 20p and three spins they won free spins same game won £6.90 I played £2 on the black Knight if you put this amount and either get two bouns and a knight it's free spins either way better chance spent £280 not a single free spin bouns had £10 left played 20p guess what it came up loads of times but not awarded on 20 p but I won on 20p 7 free spins won £1.10 how bad is that, I see so many people putting hard earned money hundreds to be ripped off winning penny

They are so fixed payouts on £2 are shocking sometimes getting zero on most played game, staff told me in last three months the machines take between £800 to £2000 each machine busy times which is about five days a week, and so hard to hit free spins and 20p pays out more than £2 spins or £1 spins, two machines hit free spins same time me played £2 lady on other 20p I was paid out £4.25 she paid out 11.00 pound, she hit again paid 40pebce £350 later got free bouns spins played £1 eye choirs won 15 free spins, then hit again 15 spins and again 15 spins staff will back me up Lisa then again total 60 free spins I won £101.00 30 of the spins dint pay at all she said it's been like that for six weeks and said well it is near Xmas what the hell does that mean

Never win. When guaranteed a win its always Bingo. 15 weeks and counting. They say its randomly generated. I beg to differ. Game yes its free but its pointless as on the normal game you don't win and on the guaranteed win its always bingo.

I have a receipt payout which I've not been paid out its been over 3 weeks now. I've provided the documentation they wanted. Its absolutely drubbing that I put £330 in tge meachine and then I decided not to play, knowing I will lose, because off this they classes me too provide funds where the money came from

I think the F O casino games are rigged. In my case the roulette. I'm not a sore loser but it is just too much of a coincidence the way the numbers are drawn. So I was playing for a while having deposited £100 so quite a few of my numbers came in but the ones I was increasing the stakes on started coming in as my balance was almost gone and I was cherry picking numbers hoping to get lucky. Then as I took large bets off certain numbers that number would come in next or shortly after. Then i am positive it robbed me. I had been playing 8 for the whole session I did one last bet clearing my balance and put £3 on 8. 8 Came in but it didn't register. Then the pop up box saying insufficient funds deposit popped up and all traces of the previous bet had gone! I know I placed the bet because I had done it every single spin and was waiting for it to come in. Obviously I can't prove it and just look like a saw loser but i'm not and this is a perfect alibi for them. Proper dirty scammers!

This is a follow up to my earlier complaint regarding the sharp practice of Ladbrokes wagering requirements:

As reported in the Daily Express 22/10/16 - the Competition & Markets Authority are now investigating the issue of this "Bonus/Promotions" scheme after the Gambling Commission raised concerns.

I go in Ladbrokes shop in Salford don't put much in but I've seen people put hundreds in and not paying out on it getting bouns after hundreds of spins this is on a daily basis yesterday the slot machines were smashed up due to this angry customers it scared some of the customers and Ladbrokes was told by head office not to get the police involved as they could get shut down more like the police would get onto the slot machines being rigged customers and staff was scared but Ladbrokes done nothing

Errors while playing
The match is ongoing and the score is not correct

In the attached photo the total points are not correct
And I am playing continuously that particular game starts appearing with some score not from starting
I don't know whether it is a virtual game played by ladbrokes or money pulling technique.

My account was closed and there was a balance of 13 euro that was in the account which they said they would refund. Here we are 6 months later after being lied to and cheated and I still haven't received anything. The Customer service is a joke and so is the Payment team.

The payout ratio is an absolute joke. Not even fun anymore, just daylight robbery. Hardly any bonuses plus when it does come in, you hardly win a thing. Absolute liberty. I will not be using Ladbrokes again.

Ladbrokes Shop Downend Bristol

In the last couple of week this shop has been closed 4 times 2 hours before it should. Tonight I went down and got there at 7.10pm to have a bet on the football and collect some winning. They were closed, the nearest other Lanbrokes is around 2 miles away, so went to William Hills.

Ladbrokes are apparently promoting this Glasgow Rangers podcast for the season

https://www.acast.com/heartandhands/mutantspost-mortem

they refer to a Black Glasgow Celtic player as a "big monkey" @ 5 minutes and 30 seconds into the podcast.
I dont feel that Labdbrokes should be promoting this racist nonsense.

I have placed a bet on 23 June 2018 England to win Receipt Number:O/[protected]/0000001
Total stake £1 Price: 50/1 England won the game and I supposed to get back £51. I was given only £1.25

They are denying giving money back.

I have all the receipts. This is totally Ladbrokes BETTING SCAM.

These machines are definitely rigged big time!
A while ago I was playing these machines and won quite a lot of money on them in the beginning but didn't cash it in.
What happened next confirmed it to me that it's rigged, I just wish i'd recorded the whole sequence as it would be solid proof.
I covered 27 numbers out of the 37 on the board and it dropped onto the empty ones 30 times in a row!
I worked out the chances of that happening was over SIXTY THOUSAND TRILLION TO ONE! YES YOU HEARD RIGHT, SIXTY THOUSAND TRILLION TO ONE.
To give you an idea, next time you go in, go to the betting terminals for your football and put in 30 draws and see what odds it throw up. Basically the thirty non spins that happened to me is more than the 30 draws that displays.
Go Figure. Like I said I should have filmed the whole sequence and they would've been banged to rights. SIXTY THOUSAND TRILLION TO ONE!

In laddies on Tues week lost 450 quid, backed zero plus four numbers to left of zero plus for to right.it my 27 spins before number 35 came out had 5th on, had 9 numbers out of 37, took me 27 spins before one of my number come out, please please don't play them.the question I would like to know is "what is random".how does the gambling commission let them get a way with it.sharp will be took out.watch out for strangers in shops who win a lot, they are plants paid by betting shops, to make you go on and lose.
