Ladbroke’s business began in 1886 when it was established by Messrs Schwind and Pendleton as commission agents for horses trained at Ladbroke Hall in Worcestershire. The name Ladbrokes was adopted in 1902. In 1963, following the legalisation of betting shops, Ladbrokes established a retail chain and became the first company to introduce fixed odds football betting. Ladbrokes.com was launched in 2000 and quickly established itself as one of the busiest betting websites in the UK with their expertise now expanded to Australia.
