1. Set up Poker Alias
a.) Once you have opened an account and downloaded the Ladbrokes
Poker software, when you log-in by typing your ‘username’ and
‘password’ into the relevant fields, you will be prompted to
create an ‘Alias’ or ‘Table Name’. This is the name that will be
visible to other players at the table you are playing at. It’s
like your Poker Nickname, which will remain with you as long as
you are playing – so choose wisely…
b.) Your Alias can only contain 12 characters. The only
allowable special characters are ‘_’ and ‘-‘. You can use a
combination of numbers and letters to make your unique Alias.
c.) If you have been referred to ‘Ladbrokes Poker’ by a friend,
enter you friends Alias or alternatively if you have received a
special Promotional Code enter in the fields provided.
d.) Click ‘Continue’ to confirm your Alias has been created
successfully. Then click on ‘Poker’ in the top left of the
screen to enter the ‘Poker Lobby’ |
2.
Deposit and Transfer Funds
a.) Once you have arrived at the Poker Lobby, before you start
playing you need to click ‘Login’ if you have chosen to
‘Remember Password’. You then may want to deposit funds into
your Ladbrokes wallet and then purchase chips into your Poker
wallet. If so click on the ‘Cashier’ tab in the top right of the
lobby.
b.) When you arrive at the ‘Banking’ pages, just follow the
simple steps to depositing funds. Enter your card details and
decide how much you want to deposit (there is a minimum of £5
deposit).
c.) Once you have deposited funds into your poker wallet then
you are ready to select your cash game or your tournament to get
playing. If you have funds in your Sportsbook wallet and want to
transfer some of these funds into your Poker wallet then again
this is a straight forward process. Click on the ‘Transfer’ tab
and select transfer from ‘Sports’ to ‘Poker’, type in the amount
you want to transfer, type in your password and click the
‘Transfer’ button.
d.) Now you are ready to get playing. So select the grey ‘Poker’
button in the top left hand corner and go back to the poker
lobby.
3. Choose Cash or
Tournament Table
Cash Tables - Play against other players with your own money, in
chips, at the table.
a.) If you have decided you want to play at the cash tables then
you need to decide which particular type of poker you want to
play (Texas Holdem, Omaha Poker, Stud Poker) and at what stake
level ($0.02-$0.04 Fixed Limit beginners tables to $50-$100+ No
Limit experienced player tables). Click on ‘All’, select
‘Beginners Tables’, choose your game type (Hold’em is the most
popular type of poker and the game you may have watched on
Television) and then select the stake limit you wish to play on.
Ladbrokes suggests that New Players play at the Beginners Cash
Fixed Limit (FL) tables to start with.
Tournament - Pay a fixed fee to Buy-in and play against other
players with our Tournament Chips
b.) If you want to play Tournaments then, again, you need to
decide what type of tournament you want to play (a quick
Sit’n’Go, single table tournament {SnG} or a Multi Table
Tournament {MTT}) and decide the level of buy-in (the amount of
money you are committing) to the tournament.
Ladbrokes suggests that New Players play at the low buy-in ($2)
SnG tables to get used to Tournament play. |
4.
Purchase Chips or Buy-in
a.) Once you have decided the Tournament you want to play in,
double click on the tournament name in the Lobby, click
‘Join/Leave’ and click ‘Buy-in’
b.) If it is a cash game you want to join then double click on
the cash game in the lobby, which will launch the table and then
just select a vacant seat by clicking on a seat ‘Click here to
be seated’ and you will be asked to choose the amount of chips
you wish to bring to the table from your Poker wallet. There
will always be a minimum amount of chips you will need to bring
to the table before you sit down. Once you are seated you are
ready to play.
