Ladbrokes Welcome Offer: Bet £5 Get £30
New Ladbrokes customers can claim £30 in free bets after placing their first qualifying bet of £5 or more. The offer is structured as 3x £10 free bets, credited within 10 hours of the qualifying bet settling. Minimum odds of 1/2 (1.50) apply. All three free bets can be used on hockey markets.
NHL Hockey Coverage
Ladbrokes covers all NHL regular season games and playoff fixtures with a range of markets. Standard offerings include moneyline (both regulation and including overtime), puck line at ±1.5 and game totals. Period betting is available for first period and first half on most games. Player props appear for marquee NHL matchups.
European Hockey Markets
Beyond the NHL, Ladbrokes covers SHL (Swedish Hockey League) regularly throughout the season. KHL is available on selected fixtures, particularly during peak midweek action. Coverage is not as deep as specialist hockey bookmakers but is sufficient for betting on the main European leagues alongside the NHL.
