Gibraltar based gaming operator, Ladbrokes, has launched a brand new version of its online sportsbook site and has announced that it will be streaming over 30,000 live sporting events this year alone.

Sporting fans will be happy to note that a wide range of sports will be covered by Ladbrokes.com, including top soccer tournaments from eleven countries, including Italy and Brazil. Also featured will be FA Cup matches, UEFA qualifiers and international games. Other sports covered will include football, tennis such as Wimbledon, snooker, basketball and darts.

Ladbrokes said that the new site would encourage in play betting, with handy links to current sporting events on the site’s homepage.

‚ÄúThe new site further reflects the growing importance of betting in-play and live video streaming content,‚Äù said John O’Reilly, Managing Director of Remote Betting and Gaming for Ladbrokes. ‚ÄúThis initiative, together with further development of our mobile offering and the development of new markets in Europe, will continue the growth of our sportsbook.‚Äù

According to Ladbrokes, it spent over £3 million in rights to broadcast the range of sports on its new site. Players will be able to view the sports events for free, although horseracing coverage would involve a minimum bet of £1.

Account holders will have their balances automatically transferred to the new site.
