The game set itself to £1 spins and ate my money
Out of any casino sites I have used, this pays out the worst without a doubt. I was in a game playing spins at 20p, decided to take a break for an hour and then went back onto it. The game refreshed putting my spins at £1 without me knowing and chewed through all my money without a single pay back. I was fuming and deleted my account immediately.

Ladbrokes are terrible and I would not recommend using them. I have quite a bit of experience with betting websites and the service from Ladbrokes is awful. In particular, a horse bet I recently placed and won suddenly disappeared from their system. When I queried this, Ladbrokes claimed the bet did not exist leaving me out of pocket and without my winnings. It was highly frustrating. If you do bet with Ladbrokes, make sure you screenshot all your bets.

The biggest scam app ever
The biggest scam app ever. You never win, no matter what slot you play. The games seem to freeze every time you're close to hitting something big. It feels like you have a -1000% chance of winning even a single penny.I honestly hope they go bankrupt.I'm not even a big fan of slots. I've only played a few times, spending around £40–£50 for a bit of fun. But when I play for fun, I expect some entertainment, not what feels like pure money theft with virtually no chance of winning.How are they still allowed to operate without being held accountable? Who is actually checking them? What are the real chances of someone winning?I don't understand how the UK Gambling Commission allows them to continue. Do they ever properly investigate these companies?It feels like a third-world system where the rich keep getting richer while ordinary people keep losing money. They're making billions every year, and yet players keep getting the short end of the stick.At this point, it's hard not to question whether regulators are doing enough to protect consumers. When so many people have the same complaints and these companies continue making billions, something clearly isn't right. I believe we should question the UK gambling commission into this, I bet they know something what we don't. Lemne și pietre după voi!

ABSOLUTLEY DISGUSTED!!!
Absolutley disgusted with this site, I've spent over 1k in the past week on here, dead spin after dead spin after dead spin after dead spin! No matter what game i went onto, whatever bet size nothing! I spent over 150 just on one game and no bonus penny wins (this is 1 and 2 pound spins)!!Steer well clear, wish i had read the reviews b4 hand, 1k of my hard earned cash gone.I dont expect to win all the time but this takes the biscuit big time!! You have been warned. Suffice to say I have closed my account. One of the other Casinos i know they have is Coral, and Gala Bingo, probably best to assume the same!!

Ladbrokes - Breach of terms and conditions
Ladbrokes have allowed my wife to gamble using my bank card which is a breach of their terms and conditions that state “we do not allow or accept payments from a card not in the account holders name” I have video evidence of ladbrokes stating these terms and conditions and that they have breached them but still refuse to remedy the situation. My wife has a gambling addiction and all our funds were in my account to safeguard her because gambling operators do not accept third party cards.

Ladbrokes - closed account with 1.1k GBP without valid reason
Hello ThePogg , Need your help. I recently opened account with Ladbrokes, deposit funds , payed roulette and won 1100GBP They they asked for documents- I send my Driving Licence and recent utility bill and they closed my account without any reason given than they could not verify my identity ? This is ridiculous as I took a picture of my docs and send those. I also have accounts is a lot of other casinos using same docs and I am fully verified everywhere. For example I am also verified using my same docs in Coral Casino which is part of their brand. The only reason they closed without valid explanation and reason is pure customer harassment and they refuse to provide any reason behind it or ask for additional docs if needed. And 100% the reason is not docs, because they are real and I am verified every other casino... Need your help please..

After serving the six month self exclusion ban i contacted Ladbrokes to reopen my account in the name BLACKPOOL1958 when sending age verification this was cleared and on the 8th Aug i contacted Ladbrokes and was told Ladbrokes would forward a form by e-mail for me to complete to re-open the account. On the 11th i recieved a further e-mail saying my account would not be reopened and i cannot understand why.As the commenti made when the self exclusion was placed i asked how to appeal as i do not hold a ny D.V.L.C Driving licence if i had said this this was me having a chat and joke with the live on-line dealer. If possible can someone from your company forward me notice how to appeal against the closing of this account. Any help would be very much appreciated

Ladbrokes - self exclusion
On 18/12/2018 I made a responsible gambling complaint to Ladbrokes, this was not investigated by them with their reply being that I had self excluded myself from their company for 5 years and I shouldn’t of being playing on their site in the first place. My old account username was [EDIT]. My new account ([EDIT]) which I opened on 10/02/2016 with total deposits with Ladbrokes during this time was £8,816.00 and total withdrawals were £955.00 during a six month period. I should point out that I used my own correct personal details. I then tried to point out that they had let me gamble on their site when I was self-excluded, they have now blamed this on me and are now not answering my correspondence. My internal Ladbrokes complaint no is [EDIT], with them now refusing to engage with me, I have now exhausted their internal procedure I can provide you with the following evidence in relation to both my activity and interaction with Ladbrokes: 1) Initial Ladbrokes complaint document. 2) Copy of email conversations with regards to my internal complaint between Ladbrokes and myself.

Ladbrokes - excluded and able to open second account
I opened an account 2 days ago and deposited around £295. My husband said to me he Thought I had an account with them some years ago. I checked and it was true I had an old account which was still excluded. Ladbrokes are solely blaming me and not offering to refund my deposits which I think is greedy and disgusting

Ladbrokes - Funds Frozen for over 3 months, without any reason. No explanation being provided.
Hello, Ladbrokes froze my account on the 10 NOV 2017 and are holding on to £20,000 of my money in the account. I have had the account [EDIT] with ladbrokes since 2010 and have been successfully ID and address verified more than twice or thrice. This ordeal started in NOV 2017. I was playing big with them since Oct 2017 and was subsequently upgraded to the so called 'VIP GOLD' level. All deposits were made from my OWN UK bank account and every transaction in that account is electronic. On 7th November 2018 the account manager [EDIT] contacted me via email, asking me to furnish them with documents for proof of funds. He said this was normal for any VIP players who triggers a certain threshold of gameplay and for compliance only. He also said this was requested by their 'Knowing you better' team. I did sent all documents he asked for and he responded saying all seems to be in order and has been accepted by the team. Then the ordeal started on the 11th November 2017. 2 days after submitting the docs and making a couple of withdrawals from my wins, I received an email from [EDIT] telling me the account has been frozen and the funds were on hold 'temporarily' pending review of documents. Now after at least 90-100 emails and phone calls (may be more) later to their VIP customer care, [EDIT] and everyone I could get hold of, my account [EDIT] still remains frozen without any explanation from anyone including [EDIT], or the customer services or anyone from Ladbrokes. Every time I email or call, I keep getting the same response, that this matter is being looked on to by the Knowing you better team and they are still reviewing the documents, so someone will get in touch with me as soon they have more information from the relevant team. I tried to even get in touch with their 'Knowing You better' team via email but they never respond. I also tried to convince the customer services and my account manager [EDIT] to let me have a word with the 'Knowing You Better' team but they keep fobbing me off, saying they are a 'back end' team and speaks to no one. The really WEIRD factor here is that it's been over 90 days now and NO one ever explained why they have kept my money frozen for so long or got back to me with any update or to asked for any further docs from me, or gave me the outcome or tried to resolute the matter. I don't know what's happening with my funds and why is Ladbrokes holding on to them without a single explanation for over 90 days. Frustrated I even contacted their CEO, [EDIT] on 7th January 2018. Someone contacted me saying they are working towards a resolution which can expect very soon but even that has been more than a month now without any further update. Now when I emailed them again NO one replied back. Is it even allowed that Ladbrokes hold on to my Funds transferred from my bank account for so long and that too without any explanation? I have lost overall with Ladbrokes just in 2017 and now they are holding on to my £20,000 without any explanations at all !! I really am requesting you to help me get my money released / unfrozen from Ladbrokes. KINDLY HELLPPPP !!!!!!!!!
