In shortLadbrokes Casino is operated by LC International Limited under Gambling Commission account 54743, which we verified. Entain, the group that owns LC International Limited, paid £17 million in 2022 for social responsibility and anti-money laundering failures across its online and betting-shop businesses.
Ladbrokes dates from the nineteenth century and shares everything that matters for trust with Coral: the same operator, the same licence account and the same parent group. For most of our checks the two are one company wearing two shop fronts.
Entain, the group that owns LC International Limited, paid £17 million in 2022 for social responsibility and anti-money laundering failures across its online and betting-shop businesses. Ladbrokes Coral also paid £5.9 million in 2019.
None of this concerned unfair games or unpaid winnings; it was about how at-risk customers and money-laundering risk were handled. More: the regulatory record.
How we read it
Because the licence is shared, a self-exclusion or a complaint at one brand concerns the other, and a welcome offer at one may be affected by an account at the other.
Worth knowing
Its welcome spins must be claimed each day for ten days, so the practical risk here is a missed deadline, not the operator.

Scores and casino details are our editorial assessment, based on each casino's published terms and on recent independent reviews. Game counts and payout times vary between sources and change often, so check the lobby and cashier yourself.
A regulatory settlement or fine means the Gambling Commission found that an operator fell short of its licence conditions and required it to pay and to change. The cases recorded on this site concerned social responsibility, meaning how customers showing signs of harm were dealt with, and anti-money laundering controls. They were not findings that games were unfair or that winnings went unpaid. Large operators are sanctioned fairly often, and the operator remains licensed afterwards. Treat a record as information about how a company has behaved, not as a verdict on whether to use it.
What changed for UK casinos in 2025 and 2026
Three changes reshaped online casinos in Britain. From 9 April 2025 online slots were limited to £5 a spin, and from 21 May 2025 to £2 for adults aged 18 to 24. From 19 January 2026 bonus wagering was capped at ten times and promotions spanning two products were banned. Pages written before those dates, and sites still advertising 35x wagering or £100 spins, are describing a market that no longer exists at licensed casinos.
A five-minute routine before you deposit
Confirm the operator on the public register. In the terms, find the customer funds rating and the dispute resolution service. Read the welcome offer's wagering, deadline and payment exclusions, or decide to decline it. Set a deposit limit. Verify your identity. Five minutes, once per casino, removes most of the ways an account goes wrong.
Licences were confirmed on the Gambling Commission register; regulatory actions were checked against Commission announcements on 8 October 2026; offer terms on 5 October 2026.
