The Story of Ladbrokes Poker
Ladbrokes brands itself as being the 'world's leading sports betting and gaming company' having accumulated over £1 billion worth of revenue in the last financial year and having made a net income of £41 million. Despite this just a couple of months later in March 2015, the company's CEO Richard Glynn described their online profit margins as being disappointing, blaming this on a series of unplanned and unaccounted for events.
'Our digital earnings have been disappointing,' Glynn said. 'Reflecting a lack of competitiveness in the sportsbook, lower margins than planned and a greater disruptive impact than expected from the transition necessary to grow digitally in the long term.'
Whether or not these figures have anything to do with the quality of the online services the company offers is something that we will find out in the course of our review. Whether or not Ladbrokes will make a concerted effort to turn around their fortunes by lauding both their new and long held customers with fresh rewards is something that should be kept an eye on in the coming months and years.
At the time of writing, however, Ladbrokes Poker is available to customers both on their home computers and on mobile and tablet devices. Regular registered users will also be rewarded through admittance to their VIP club with a points system also allowing regular users to trade in accumulated points for cash prizes. There will be more on this in the 'Promotions and Offers' section of this review.
There is surely an obvious advantage to doing business with a reputable business that is currently experiencing a period of financial difficulty, that company perhaps willing to improve their services and promotions in order to attract more punters to these services.
