Introduction
Ladbrokes has been in the betting world for more than 100 years, and as one of the oldest sports betting providers, they have kept up with changing technologies. They have an excellent sports betting portal designed to suit most of the popular browsers and mobiles used by their players. Their extensive variety of sports and betting options is one of the most comprehensive and covers just about every sporting event the world over.
Players can select their sport or event of choice, from a simple but easy-to-read menu on the top of the site and the clean design makes moving around the site a breeze. Live sports are complemented by a host of casino and slot options including popular games like Bingo and Poker.
Lotto and E-sports are also available, alongside the Virtual Sports section that deliver the fast-paced Football, Horse Racing, Greyhound Racing, Speedway and Motor Racing variants that are a favourite of many new players.
The Ladbrokes Virtual Sports landing page presents current and upcoming events in each of the disciplines. As such, players can view their choice in the centre video feed while keeping a watchful eye on the rest of the events.
Virtual Football
Ladbrokes Virtual Football follows the tried and tested format of virtual football with competing teams made up of the best in the world as well as club and premier teams. The events rotate from international matches to club and premier matches throughout the day randomly.
Available Betting Markets and Odds
Betting markets are just what you would expect from more than 100 years in the business. These are available for Win/Draw/Win, Correct Score (Half & Full-Time), Double Chance and Over/Under for each of the competing Virtual Teams. Betting for each match closes as the game starts, but players can still place bets on the upcoming games.
Match Duration
Players can enjoy a new Virtual Football match every 3 min all day long, with the next four matches displayed below the video feed.

Live betting on Virtual Sports
Live betting or in-play betting is not possible for the Virtual Sports from Ladbrokes, as is with most virtual sports betting options. Virtual bets must place before the event starts, however, with so many on offer players can enjoy betting on multiple events, and with the events being run all day long at 3 min intervals the betting fun is just part of the whole experience.

Mobile betting has become a firm favourite for many players as they can take their betting enjoyment everywhere, they go.
