Ladbrokes release new real-money poker app for Android

11/11/2014

Ladbrokes is continuing to try and rise above the recent set-backs suffered by this long standing brand, and has attempted to re-establish itself as a player in the expanding mobile poker market by offering a brand new mobile poker app for Android tablet and mobile users. The app is a native .apk file, and can only be downloaded via the Ladbrokes website due to Google's restrictions on real money gambling apps being made available at the Google Play store. Ladbrokes' new app was released in September 2014, and comes as a necessity due to their withdrawing from the Microgaming Poker Network in favour of the iPoker network, which they did in December, 2013.
Downloading the app can only be done by circumventing a few difficulties, as locating the app via the Ladbrokes site usually ends up in a few browsing loops, which is extremely bemusing. The best idea is to search for “Ladbrokes Poker apk” which locates the download. Even then, it's trial and error as to whether you manage to download the correct apk, and you only know if you have once you've installed the app and upon launch it asks you to sign in to the Microgaming Poker Network. To be absolutely sure you're getting the correct app, the best solution is to visit the Ladbrokes desktop site on your PC, and use a QT scanner to scan the bar code. This will make sure you're getting the iPoker version of Ladbrokes app. All these hurdles that have to be jumped are not likely to win Ladbrokes many fans from the mobile poker loving crowd.

The apk file is a 26MB download, which you need to install in the usual way once the download is complete. You can log in using your Ladbrokes poker account, or sign up if you don't already have one.

The app is English-only, and allows for real money play at regular Ladbrokes ring games and the bookmaker's version of fast-fold poker, namely Speed Poker. At present, only UK and Ireland based players can use the app for their mobile poker playing. No Sit & Gos, single-table tournaments or MTTs are available via the app. You can play on more than one table at once if you're a bit of a grinder, although this is tough to deal with if you have a small mobile screen.

For extra usability points, you can both register and fund your Ladbrokes account via PayPal – Ladbrokes makes a slight shout out about them being the only UK bookmaker that allows this. All Ladbrokes bonuses and VIP schemes are available to mobile users, which includes a welcome bonus of 200 percent up to £1,200. This bonus is “earned” in $5 chunks for every 170 status points gained by playing poker, at a rate of ten points for every $1 of rake generated or tournament fees paid.

The app is very easy to use, and there's a nice “Coverflow” feature that allows you to browse through available tables before you select the one that suits you best. The table layout is a little cluttered when the tables are full, making play difficult on smaller mobile screens.

Android fans who have accounts with Ladbrokes will no doubt be delighted that a mobile version of the Ladbrokes poker app is available once again. For non-Ladbrokes account holders, a quick review of this iPoker-based app is certainly worth considering.
