What are LadBucks?

LadBucks in a nutshell

Think of LadBucks as tokens rather than pounds. The Ladbrokes Casino app's store listing names the LadBucks reward currency among its features and says it's used on arcade games. You collect them, then spend them inside the app; they don't sit in your cash balance waiting to be withdrawn.

Ladbrokes awards LadBucks through its casino promotions and reward features, and each promotion's terms say how many you can collect and on what conditions. Because those terms change from promotion to promotion, the safest habit is to read the current page before you count on any LadBucks.

LadBucks are specific to the Ladbrokes Casino app. Coral, which shares Ladbrokes' owner, has its own Coral Coins instead. For other app reward questions, start at our casino app questions hub.

How LadBucks are earned and spent

Ladbrokes' published material gives two firm points: LadBucks are a reward currency, and they're used on arcade games. Everything else, from how many a promotion gives to the exact games and prizes on offer, sits in the terms of each promotion and the app itself.

1. Log in to the Ladbrokes Casino app with your verified account.
2. Open the promotions area and find any offer that mentions LadBucks.
3. Read how LadBucks are collected in that promotion, including any qualifying stake or opt-in.
4. Check your LadBucks balance in your account or rewards area.
5. Before spending them, read which arcade games accept LadBucks and what each play can win.
6. Note the expiry date for the batch you've collected, so none run out unused.

When do LadBucks expire?

Ladbrokes' casino promotion terms, checked in October 2026, say LadBucks collected in a calendar month expire at 23:59 on the 15th of the following month. That means the time you have depends on when in the month you collected them.

LadBucks collected late in a month have far less time than those collected early. If a batch is close to its deadline, that's not a reason to play more than you planned: an expired reward costs you nothing, whereas extra stakes do. Our page on whether free spins expire covers similar deadlines for spins.

LadBucks vs cash, free spins and bonus funds

It helps to place LadBucks among the other kinds of value a casino app can give you, because each has different rules.

If an arcade game played with LadBucks gives a prize, the prize terms tell you whether it's cash, spins or something else. Read our explainers on loyalty points on casino apps and how wagering works in casino apps for the wider picture.

Where to find LadBucks: the Ladbrokes Casino app

LadBucks sit in Ladbrokes' dedicated casino app, which is separate from its sportsbook app. Ladbrokes publishes it on both iPhone and Android, with slightly different names on each store.

Beyond LadBucks, the listing mentions 1,800+ slots, blackjack, roulette, live casino including game shows, and free-to-play features: Instant Spins, a daily prize wheel and game show or live roulette contests. Note the iOS requirement of iOS 18.0 or later, which rules out older iPhones. Install steps are on our Ladbrokes iPhone app and Ladbrokes Android app pages, and the App Store listing (opens in a new tab) has the full description.

UK rules that apply to LadBucks and similar rewards

Reward currencies are incentives, so the Gambling Commission's rules on promotions apply to them. Three points matter most.

• One product per incentive: since 19 January 2026, a single incentive can't combine more than one type of gambling product, such as casino and sports betting. A casino reward like LadBucks therefore sits with the casino side.
• 10x wagering cap: if a reward ever becomes bonus funds, play-through can't exceed 10 times the bonus.
• Fair, clear terms: incentive terms must be clear, transparent, fair and readily accessible, which is why the expiry rule is written into the promotion terms.

The rules sit in the Commission's social responsibility code 5.1.1 (opens in a new tab). There's no 2026 ban on time-limited rewards, but an offer can't be made bigger because you reach its qualifying spend faster. See our pages on the mixed-product bonus ban and the wagering cap.

Who runs Ladbrokes Casino?

Ladbrokes Casino is operated by LC International Limited, part of Entain, which holds a remote casino licence under Gambling Commission account 54743, active since 1 July 2019. The same company runs Coral, so the two apps share a licence. You can check it on the Gambling Commission public register (opens in a new tab).

Ladbrokes' help centre says it charges no withdrawal fees, caps UK deposits at £2,000 per deposit and says Visa Fast Funds withdrawals typically reach the bank within 4 hours once approved. Our Ladbrokes withdrawals guide has the detail, and Coral vs Ladbrokes compares the sister apps.

Reward currencies and staying in control

Collect-and-spend currencies are designed to bring you back. An expiry date, a balance counter and a prize wheel can all create a sense that you're missing out if you don't play. Keep LadBucks in their place: a small extra on play you'd choose anyway, not a reason to deposit or stake more.

Set a deposit limit before you start, use the Ladbrokes safer gambling tools and turn off promotional notifications if they pull you in. The National Gambling Helpline is free and open 24/7 on 0808 8020 133.

The Ladbrokes welcome offer and two alternatives

LadBucks are part of Ladbrokes' reward features, while the welcome offer is a separate deal for new customers. Here it is first, followed by Coral and PlayOJO for comparison. 18+ and terms apply.

• Ladbrokes, up to 500 free spins when you play £10 on slots: new customers deposit and spend £10 or more on slots, then get 50 free spins a day for their first 10 days. Spins are 10p each on selected games, must be claimed before 23:59 each day and last 7 days, with no wagering. Prepaid cards, PayPal, Paysafe, Neteller, Skrill and Moneybookers deposits don't count. Full value: 500 × 10p = £50.
• Coral, 100 free spins after a £10 slots bet: for new players between 1 October 2026 and 1 February 2027. Spins are 10p each on selected games, accept them within 48 hours and use them within 7 days; spin winnings have no wagering. Neteller, PayPal, Paysafe, Skrill, prepaid cards and certain debit cards are excluded.
• PlayOJO, 80 free spins with no wagering: first deposit of £10 or more from new UK customers outside Northern Ireland; spins on Big Bass Bonanza at 10p each, winnings paid in cash. Available only through the designated offer link and not combinable with other offers.

Coral and Ladbrokes share an operator, so one person may not be able to hold new accounts at both. Spin offers are for slots only. For more on Ladbrokes' deal, read the Ladbrokes welcome bonus page.
