The Story of Ladbrokes Bingo
Ladbrokes Bingo is the bingo arm of the Ladbrokes bookmaking group, one of the oldest bookmakers in the world following its establishment in 1886. As well as sports betting and bingo, Ladbrokes also provides their customers with outlets to play casino games, poker and backgammon online. Available across the United Kingdom and other such European countries as Belgium, Ireland and Spain, Ladbrokes can boast having over 800,000 active online registered users.
The company are well known for the iconic red and white signage adorning all of their 2,400 retail betting shops in the UK. It also sits atop every Ladbrokes webpage as well as featuring prominently in all of their television and billboard advertising campaigns. Ladbrokes employs just over 14,000 staff across the world in their efforts to continue growing and sustain their share of the marketplace.
Whilst Ladbrokes' failure to fully capitalise on the potential of online betting and gaming has been well reported with former chief executives even giving their online presence a kicking, the Ladbrokes website claims that the company have seen an improvement in numbers following a 'major operational restructuring of its digital products and services'.
Football's 2014 World Cup saw people flood to Ladbrokes sportsbook, and subsequently to their gaming offerings. According to their website, staking on their sportsbook grew by 110% over the course of the last year. New CEO Jim Mullen has made further improvements in the company's digital services one of his priorities following on from the resignation of his successor Richard Glynn.

Navigating Ladbrokes Bingo
Registered users can type their username and password in the boxes found at the top of the Ladbrokes Bingo homepage. They will then be able to access their account details and play bingo online. Unregistered users may also navigate around the site though without the benefit of being able to play bingo or any other game.
The easiest ways of navigating around the site involve using the tabs in the colourless bar at the top of the page, beneath the red header and primary list of tabs. The second list of tabs that aid navigation are those up the left hand side of the homepage. These include quick links to bingo and games as well as promotions of note. Also on the front page of Ladbrokes Bingo is the bingo schedule, stating when each bingo game will begin and other facts such as the entrance fee and the prize that is up for grabs. Select the 'Real Play' or 'Play Now' tabs to get involved with the games.
Scroll right back to the top of the page to move from the homepage and to other areas of the site. The function of the 'Promotions' tab is explained in more detail in the following section of this article though is the tab you need should you be wanting to check out all the latest offers and services provided by Ladbrokes Bingo. Similar is the 'On The House Rewards' tab that is also explained in the following section.
The key tab for new users sits rightmost in the clear bar and is entitled 'Getting Started'. This page explains in detail how to do the most basic of things on the site. Such explanations include how to register for an account; how to deposit funds; and how to choose a chat name so you can utilise the website's chat rooms. Those that struggle with any part of the Ladbrokes Bingo experience can move over to the 'Help' tab at the top of the page which provides all users with a link to some frequently asked questions and to a number of email addresses.

The 'All Games' tab is similar in its intent though rather than providing links to bingo games, all the links on this homepage are to do with casino, slot and table games.
The final three tabs in the clear bar at the top of the page read 'Community', where the chat games can be found; 'Mobile', where you can find instructions concerning how Ladbrokes Bingo can be played on your phone/ tablet device; and 'News'.
