Ladbrokes is Top Online Poker Site in UK

June 30 - A brand new site look, as well as lucrative promotions is why Ladbrokes online poker room grabbed top spot in popularity among the UK's online poker sites, according to the casino's management.

Ladbrokes took an impressive 19.5% of the online poker market in the week ending June 14 as reported by Hitwise, thereby pushing this poker room to the top of the charts.

Ladbrokes management said that the number one spot was not coincidental. It explained that in recent weeks, Ladbrokes online poker had stepped out with its brand new look that was intended to attract new players in the UK and world markets, as well as retain its loyal players.

"There has been a solid playing poker community for six years," said Ladbrokes Poker Pro, Jeff  "JaffaCake" Kimber, himself a World Headsup winner. "The new website illustrates just how much the site has developed in such a short space of time. People often only think of Ladbrokes as the great high street bookmaker - but I'm proud to be a part of their poker business."

Ladbrokes Poker offers its players several unique features not found at any other online poker room. For example, it is the only site that allows players to access the poker room through three different ways - the classic format, an instant play option through a web browser and a 3D version complete with hand gestures, avatars and a comprehensive, interactive poker school.

The Managing Director for Ladbrokes Poker, Ed Ihre said that the site was looking into the future to improve its offerings even further. An exciting new marketing plan will ensure a fast growth rate with the launching of player recruitment drive in points outside of the United Kingdom.

New promotions, freerolls and prize packages worth thousands of dollars are also reasons why online poker players are flocking to Ladbrokes Poker.
