Responsible Gambling

Ladbrokes.com believes in responsible gambling. Gambling should be an exciting pastime and we urge our customers to have fun but not bet beyond their means. For more information on our policies in this area – and sources of information and help – please see our Responsible Gambling section

Over 18s Only

You must be over 18 to register and to place a bet. Gambling whilst under the age of 18 is a criminal offence and Ladbrokes takes its responsibilities to prevent access by under-18s very seriously indeed. Electronic age verification checks are carried out and whilst we aim to make the process as seamless and unobtrusive as possible it may be that further information will have to be obtained direct from the customer. If we are unable to verify your age we may restrict you from withdrawing funds from your account and/or prevent access to certain products.

If we discover that someone under the age of 18 is using the site to gamble, prizes will be forfeited and stakes returned. We may also report the matter to the police, parents and the appropriate regulatory authority.
