No, they are one of the absolute worst at dealing with emails/questions.
Why is that?
- They have never promptly responded to my queries. They have stated that it'd take up to 48 hours for response time, and they weren't joking! I could fly from Canada to South Korea, disembark, go out for dinner, see a movie, update my memoirs book, go to bed, wake-up, get some breakfast, go for a work-out, maybe take a dip-in-the-pool, do some shopping, then proceed to go back to Canada. I'd be back home, call some friends, complain about how small the seats were on the flight over, then I could take a much needed shower, have a snack, check my emails, and see that my Ladbrokes 'care' response isn't there yet, and there's about 2 hours and 29 minutes to go.
- If and when they do respond, I always got the feeling that they never actually read any of the initial emails that I'd sent out. So, that means I'd have to wait an additional 48 hours in order to get an answer to the questions I had initially asked. Very frustrating.
- Whenever I received a 2nd response (another 48 hours later), another agent working in another dept. (or maybe the same dept. but just carrying a different 'title') would respond, and would ask me to forward my initial queries again, in order to get them up to speed. In a nutshell, ask one question, because that's all they're going to respond to. Also, cross your fingers that they actually read that first question correctly.
- These situations would repeat over and over and over and over and over and over again. So, a member here is left with the additional option to PM any number of people who work at Ladbrokes from this site. Thing is, they don't like getting PMs from this site (not that they dislike this site or anything), and would always point me to 'care@ladbrokes' which is about as useful as AOL stock (actually, if you can think of worse stock feel free to use it here). And I can think of SO many times where they told me that they'd forward my query to the right person/people, and I'd never hear about it. At least whenever I used the PM method, I got a response in a short amount of time.
- How many people work at Ladbrokes, and how many titles exist there? If I go through all of my emails sent to them over the years (and I still have them), I never get the same person twice (say for those I've contacted through PMs here simply b/c it's a direct method). It has to be one of the most mismanaged sites around. No continuity whatsoever. I've asked numerous times if there was one particular person to reach, instead of going through all of that mess (time and time again). I never got a response to that particular question. Odd. It's as though they don't know who's in charge, or there's no one there who's responsible for anything.
- Why use 'care@ladbrokes.com'? How about 'wedon'treallycare,atallactuallycometothinkofit@ladbrokes.com'?
They may very well be about as legit as they come, and you'll always get paid exactly 6 hours after making a withdrawal, but their CS is absolutely inept to queries (over the phone... not-so-bad), and they aren't as player-friendly as some seem to believe. How can one form a 'relationship' with a faceless entity, one which barely acknowledges its customers?

Casinomeister: Labrokes is not "non-responsive" and they have a fairly good relationship with the members and me.
