Ladbrokes Mobile Betting | iPhone, Blackberry and PDA Betting

Ladbrokes is one of the UK’s biggest and most established bookmakers, with betting shops on nearly all UK high streets and a huge online presence. Ladbrokes now offer mobile betting as well as an SMS alert service for customers who want to be able to bet, check form and view other account information on the move.

There are two methods by which clients can use Ladbrokes’ online facilities on their mobile phone. The first is simply to access the Ladbrokes website via the browser on your device. Ladbrokes have enhanced the mobile version of their website, making it easy to navigate through on a small screen and get to the information you need or access your account.

The other option is to use a downloadable Java application, which Ladbrokes provide for certain handsets. This is feature rich and allows you to access Ladbrokes without needing to use your browser. The mobile sportsbook is stored on your phone once you download it so you will never miss out on updates, and it gives access to thousands of markets and all the bet types you can have on the regular Ladbrokes site or in store, as well as giving you secure access to your account.

The downloadable application is free, and easy to install. From the Ladbrokes site, just fill in the form on the mobile betting page with your country and phone number, and follow the instructions.

The downloadable Java application is compatible with 95% of internet enabled handsets, so any phone less than three years old with internet capabilities is likely to be OK with it.

For the iPhone, there is a specific Ladbrokes App which can be installed from the App Store or by going to mobile.ladbrokes.com. This can then be launched as with any other iPhone App by touching the Ladbrokes icon on your phone’s home screen.

Another mobile service Ladbrokes offer is an SMS alert service. This is free, and you can subscribe to either football or horse racing updates. On the football service, you simply choose the team you want from the Ladbrokes homepage and enable alerts for odds for that team to be sent to your phone.

With all of these options Ladbrokes are really enabling customers to make the most of their services on the move, even allowing you to bet on your mobile rather than queuing for the bookies when you are at a sporting event.
