Visit Ladbrokes

Ladbrokes is one of British betting’s most enduring names — founded in 1886 and now owned by Entain plc, the FTSE 100 group that also operates Coral, bwin and Sportingbet. That Entain parentage is worth knowing upfront: Ladbrokes and Coral share the same odds engine, live-streaming infrastructure and Bet Builder technology under a unified licence. For tennis punters that means solid coverage of all four Grand Slams, ATP Masters 1000s and WTA 1000 events, backed by a slick app and live streaming that includes Wimbledon where rights permit.

In this Ladbrokes review we cover the full tennis-betting picture: market depth from match winner to set betting and in-play props, the Acca Insurance and Edit My Acca features, live streaming, the app (rated 4.7 on the App Store), payments and support. We’ll be straight where rivals lead — bet365 still streams more tennis and tends to run tighter margins on the bigger ATP and WTA fixtures. Ladbrokes is a dependable all-rounder with genuine heritage, not a specialist tennis book.

Rating breakdown

Tennis markets 7 All four Grand Slams, ATP/WTA tours and Challengers with match winner, set betting, games handicap and totals — solid breadth, thinner on smaller ATP 250s.
Odds & value 6 Margins around 5–6% on match-winner markets; competitive on big names but bet365 and Pinnacle regularly edge it, especially on WTA.
Live & in-play 7 Decent in-play with cash out; suspension windows can run longer than specialist books, but the interface is clean.
Live streaming 6 Top-tier tournaments including Wimbledon streamed where rights allow; patchy for ATP 250s and mid-tier WTA events.
Mobile app 8 4.7 App Store (95k+ reviews) / 4.4 Google Play; fast, Face ID login, integrated streaming — among the better UK apps.
Payments 8 Broad range incl PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Instant Bank Transfer; £5 minimum; PayPal/Visa Fast Funds within 8 hours.
Customer support 8 24/7 live chat, freephone and email; Racing Post rates it 5/5 for service — live-chat responses are generally prompt.

Tennis betting markets

Ladbrokes covers the full Grand Slam calendar, all ATP Masters 1000 and WTA 1000 events, and a solid selection of ATP 500/250 and WTA 500 fixtures. Core markets include match winner, correct score in sets, games handicap, total games over/under, first-set winner and outright winner, with Bet Builder available on eligible matches.

Market depth thins on lower-tier events, and player-specific props (ace totals, double faults, break of serve) are less consistent than at specialist books. Grand Slam coverage sees promotional uplift — enhanced prices, free bets and acca boosts — particularly around Wimbledon.

Odds & value

Ladbrokes sits mid-tier for tennis odds value. Pre-match returns run at roughly 94–96%, competitive against high-street rivals like William Hill and Betfred but behind the benchmark set by Pinnacle and, on most Grand Slam match-ups, by bet365. Price boosts appear around the majors and are a genuine way to grab short-term value.

Best Odds Guaranteed applies to UK and Irish horse racing only — not tennis. The Edit My Acca feature partially offsets thin margins by letting you reduce exposure post-start.

Best Odds Guaranteed Price boosts Acca Insurance: stake back as a free bet (up to £10) if one leg of a 5+ selection acca (min 3/1 overall, each leg 1/10+) loses. Edit My Acca lets you remove selections from a live acca — a useful in-play safety valve across multiple tennis matches.

Live streaming

Ladbrokes streams live tennis on its site and app, drawing on Entain's shared rights pool (the same feed that powers Coral). Coverage is strongest at the Grand Slams, with Wimbledon streamed; ATP Masters events are partially covered depending on rights.

ATP 250s and WTA 500/250 events are hit-and-miss — bet365 and Unibet cover a broader volume of mid-tier tennis. A funded account or a bet within 24 hours is required to watch.

Grand Slams: Wimbledon covered; other Slams partial, subject to broadcast rights — not guaranteed for all courts or rounds

Mobile app

iOS 4.7/5 Android 4.4/5

The Ladbrokes app is one of the stronger UK offerings, rated 4.7 on the App Store (95,000+ reviews) and 4.4 on Google Play. Designed in-house by Entain, it covers the full sportsbook with clean navigation, fingerprint and Face ID login, and a live-streaming tab that surfaces tennis directly.

In-play tennis markets carry cash-out. The in-play experience is polished, if not quite as feature-rich on the markets side as bet365's app.

Payment methods

Ladbrokes supports a comprehensive set of UK-standard methods, with instant deposits and a £5 minimum (£10 for PayPal) and no deposit fee. PayPal and Visa Fast Funds withdrawals complete within 8 hours; standard debit-card withdrawals take 1–3 banking days.

Paysafecard is deposit-only. Payments run under Entain's single UKGC-compliant infrastructure, shared with Coral.

Platform & providers

Ladbrokes runs on Entain's proprietary sportsbook platform, shared with Coral, bwin and other group brands. The odds engine, Bet Builder, streaming and cash-out are unified across the stable — robust and well-maintained, but it means Ladbrokes offers no platform differentiation from Coral.

Punters comparing the two are largely looking at branding rather than meaningfully different technology.

Customer support

Ladbrokes offers round-the-clock support and is one of the better-rated bookmakers for service — Racing Post gives it 5/5. Live chat (login required) tends to respond promptly, and a 24/7 freephone line is available.

A self-service help centre covers verification, payments and rules, and the 2,000+ shop network means in-person assistance is an option.

Our verdict

Ladbrokes is a dependable, well-rounded UK sportsbook that covers tennis thoroughly without specialising in it. The app is excellent, Grand Slam coverage is solid, and tools like Edit My Acca and Acca Insurance add practical value through the tournament phase. The honest caveat is that it sits on the same Entain platform as Coral, so choosing one over the other is largely a branding preference. For pure tennis odds value or the widest streaming breadth, bet365 or Unibet edge it, but for a trusted British brand with a great app and round-the-clock support, Ladbrokes remains a strong choice alongside a specialist book.

Best for: Tennis punters who want a reliable, full-service UK bookmaker with a great app, solid Grand Slam streaming and acca protection Watch: Odds on WTA and lower-tier ATP events can be less competitive, and streaming blackouts on ATP 250/WTA 500 events are a real limit for high-volume watchers
