What regulators have done about Ladbrokes
| Date | Regulator | Against | Amount | What happened |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (exact) | UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) | Ladbrokes Betting & Gaming Limited sister | GBP 3,000,000 | Part of the same £17m Entain group settlement, this element concerns the sister land-based entity operating 2,746 gambling premises in Britain rather than the online Ladbrokes licensee. The Commission found social responsibility and anti-money laundering failures including a shop customer not escalated for safer gambling review despite staking £29,372 and losing £11,345 in a single month, and a betting shop customer allowed to stake £168,000 on shop terminals over eight months before due diligence checks were carried out. source |
| (exact) | UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) | LC International Limited | GBP 14,000,000 | The Commission found social responsibility and anti-money laundering failures at the licensee's online business, which runs 13 websites including ladbrokes.com and coral.co.uk; findings included conducting only one chat interaction over 18 months with a customer who deposited £230,845, allowing customers under enquiry or restriction to open accounts on other group brands, and allowing one consumer to deposit £742,000 over 14 months without sufficient source-of-funds checks. Additional licence conditions were attached requiring board-level oversight of an improvement plan and a third-party compliance audit within 12 months; the payment forms part of a £17m group settlement. source |
| (exact) | UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) | Ladbrokes Betting and Gaming Limited; Coral Interactive (Gibraltar) Limited sister | GBP 5,900,000 | The Commission found that between November 2014 and October 2017 Ladbrokes and Coral failed to put in place effective safeguards against gambling harm and money laundering, continuing after their merger as the Ladbrokes Coral Group; examples included no social responsibility interactions with a customer who lost £98,000 over two and a half years and had 460 deposit attempts declined. The settlement comprised £4.8m in lieu of a financial penalty and divestment of £1.1m, payable by new owner GVC; the entities named are the land-based and Coral companies rather than the current online Ladbrokes licensee LC International Limited. source |

Questions people ask about Ladbrokes
Is Ladbrokes licensed, and by which regulator?
Ladbrokes is licensed by UK Gambling Commission. The licence was active when we checked the regulator’s own public register on 18 July 2026. You can check it yourself in the register entry we used.
Who owns Ladbrokes?
Ladbrokes is owned through LC International Limited (operator); Entain plc (ultimate parent), listed on LSE: ENT. Ownership of these companies changes by takeover faster than most registers update, so we date it: this is the structure we recorded on 18 July 2026. Source: the filing we read.
Which other casinos share an owner with Ladbrokes?
Ladbrokes shares a corporate owner with 4 other casinos we have mapped: BetMGM, Coral, Sportingbet, bwin. This matters more than a trivia answer: a regulator’s finding against one brand in a group tells you something about the company running all of them, and a self-exclusion you set at one brand does not automatically stop at that brand.
Has Ladbrokes been fined by a gambling regulator?
Yes. We have recorded 3 published enforcement actions against Ladbrokes or the company it operates under. The most recent was by UK Gambling Commission on 18 August 2022, a GBP 3,000,000 penalty. Read the regulator’s published decision. Every action we hold is listed with its date, amount and source further up this page.
How long does a withdrawal from Ladbrokes actually take?
The fastest route we recorded is Pay by Bank at 24 hours. The slowest is Bank Transfer at 5 business days. These are end-to-end times: from requesting the money to it being spendable, including the operator’s own review window. They are not the “instant” figure a cashier screen shows, which times only the last step. Source: the operator’s published terms.
