Deceit by Ladbrokes? - Questions About Tourney Leaderboards!

[Mixman22]

As we all know Entain have been in the news a lot recently for many bad reasons. Now recently the competition watchdog has launched

High Court proceedings against Ladbrokes bookmakers, a month after raids over possible price fixing,

After recent fines they still can't behave and are still being very dishonest and deceitful as explained below.

Anyhow even though I do use Ladbrokes now and again especially for the fun free slot games i do notice many people always complaining that the top scores posted daily are virtually impossible to beat. Yes, I do agree that after playing these for 5 years I have never ever reached a score posted everyday by the winners. Are these really scores posted by human players, no chance. They are AI generated scores posted by Entain that make it impossible to beat so they don't have to pay out. How do i know this by using my brain something Entain lack when it comes to trying to hide their dirt ridden scandalous tracks.

On the games text chat and forums many people play these games and try and rack up points to gain free spins and even cash prizes but the top scores are always so high and absolutely virtually impossible to even beat or get near to. I have always thought something fishy is going on here. Even on live games the winners list is always something many people claim is just AI generated account names to pretend people always win and win big.

Now i did ask their live support recently about this and asked "are the players on the winning list real players or AI" a minute or so later he returned with the answer "I can confirm all players on the leaderbaord are real live players and not AI".

So now i decided to cut and paste the winning players into word and though let’s see if they are real account holders. Now I took an English based winning score named Stevo041. I decided to log out and try and create a new account with this name. I also got told by Ladbrokes management that it's impossible to create an account with a user or account name already in use. Now if the user name is really an account holder I would not off been able to create a new account with the same name. So, I put new email address in and put the same name Stevo041 as on leaderboard I also tried a few other names on the leaderboard as well. Now the system said fine this user name has not been used. So, if the system is allowing me use names on that leaderboard (top winners) then this proves they are not real account users and fake Ai names or bots.

This proves that Ladbrokes is lying about the players being real on their leaderbaord and this is pathetic.

Why can casinos online still lie and bs customers and try and con people every day with dirty tricks. I will contact the UKGC about this and i have screen shots to prove everything. Don't want to contact Ladbrokes as they will probably block my account and try to hide the truth.

Lol image 3 the username 'Dago' which has offensive interpretations.

I have to agree - look at the usernames and see how they all bar two end in numbers which is highly improbable. Like a tool has been told how to make them up.

Like the fake Amazon reviews where the opposite is true, the names of all suspect/bogus ones are all surname+forename in one word, again AI faked.

Now look at Casinomeister usernames, sure quite a few have numbers in them but only a small minority overall. Because they are thousands of names chosen by thousands of different individuals.

So I am sticking my neck out here and agreeing with the op - it just doesn't add up.

I think @BillyGoldblum or @lockinlove posted a thread recently mentioning a Canadian/Ontario site with BS leaderboards appearing at night. It's obviously a tactic across many casinos, to tempt play.

EDIT: P.S. If you can copy one of those usernames in a new account then it's 100% manipulated as never in my online gambling history have I been allowed to register a dupe u/n.

 

[lukey141]

I mean I can't claim to know the truth about these but for what it's worth I won 1 of those live game casino blackjack events where I put 1 onto the hand and 14 onto the side bets and it hit triple the same card which gave me a crazy multiplier. I do that with all the live games, go crazy high variance, if it hits it's a huge score but 99% of the time it's a miss and I get 0 or close to it.

I have also finished in the top 10 on a few occasions in the free spins tournaments.

Ladbrooks score system really rewards very high scores. If you got a 250x you got 1000 points. That 3rd image the guy must have hit 1 of the jackpots in the bonus and then got 110 points from the other spins. That doesn't seem unrealistic to me.

Party Poker gives you 1000 points for a 40x and 400 for 20x and I actually got 2 40x and 1 20x hits during 30 spins 1 event so when you have thousands of people entering across these sites it doesn't surprise me at all that someone gets score that seems impossible.

I think you are possibly referring to this thread @dunover

Thread 'Are people really this rich or is the casino using bots'

Aug 27, 2025

I find this crazy.

A new casino opened up here called golden nugget ontario.

I was first on the leaderboard. I was doing some $100-$400 bonus buys mixed in with some $2-$4 bets. I wagered well over $10,000 in 3.5 hours.

I checked the leaderboard and somehow, in the middle of the night...13 players signed up and wagered tens of thousands of dollars at the same time as me. So 13 players were doing $1000 bonus buy+ $10-$50 slot spins for 4 hours straight to push me way down the leaderboard and then massive point balances.

Are people really this rich? Its a provincial casino for Ontario...

It would be easy enough to find out if two different people can have the same user name - try opening an account with your current user name, or even better try opening another with the Stevo041.
Capture the error message and put it with the other info you have for the UKGC.

I have already tried with several names from leaderboard not one of them has the error message "this username is taken" but when i try my original user name the message comes up "Looks like that User ID is already taken. Please select from the alternatives given below".

Sorry mate, cannot allow that image due to the information contained within.

But I can witness what you say and what the image demonstrated, that these by definition cannot be proper genuine registered accounts, they are either bogus or internal test accounts that haven't been linked obviously to their player database.

 

[Lemon]

I would blank that mobile number out if I were you.

I just deleted one image above and wondered what you were referring to, so checked image 4 in the OP and had to remove that one too for the same reason.

 

[Mixman22]

That mobile number is not a real number i was just showing that the username's on leaderboard can be used. (made up number phone number )

Yes the phone number i used is not mine and made up just to show i can create an account with the names on leaderboards but not with my username. Thank you for understanding as well.

Well we didn't know that and cannot take chances.

Reason names appear in tournaments that can be available as account names are because they are not the accounts just names people have used for slots.

For instance if I play a tournament it comes up as paul7388 at ladbrokes same as here. That's because I selected that as a tournament or poker name many years ago long after opening account.

My actual account username to log in with is a six digits number as I opened it in a bookies shop. You will find most of those players probably did the same.

As you can see you information and reply is not correct. You cannot change names on slot tournaments only live dealer games as stated by Ladbrokes. What i posted is correct they are all usernames and most if all are AI fake names.

 

[Mixman22]

No you can't as stated by Ladbrokes. Only live dealer games you can change name. Been on Ladbrokes 20 years i already knew you cannot change names for slot tournaments. I woudl not post something without evidence. VIew the screenshot to prove am correct. The list on the leaderboard is all usernames. Thank you.

 

[paul7388]

I woudl not post something without eveidence. VIew the screenshot to prove am correct. The list on the leaderboard is all usernames. Thank you.

As stated my name comes up as paul7388 in tournaments.

My account is a 6 digit number. Always has been since registering. I can not login using paul7388 that appears in slots as its not my account or username.

So whether you like it or not . The name in slots is different from username. Maybe it's only for people that have the 6 digit username that registered Inshop who knows. But point is my username is not the one showing in tournaments. I can not login in using it. So you can post as many screenshots as you want it will not change facts or prove me wrong in any way.

 

[paul7388]

Not sure how to do it now. I would think back to many years ago. Register account in shop. Get username that was 6 digits you were good to go.

Then not sure if it was on sports site or download casino but when you went tonuae them it told you you had to add a name that would be visible. Picked Paul7388 which like I say is not my username. All these years later it's still the same. So I would imagine many people have the same a different name used feom the user name. As you will see by looking at the leaderboards they have no 6 digit numbers really for usernames on list.

Might be different if you sign up online but signing up in a shop it was numbers for username at time and you never picked them you were giving an account number which is your username to.log in.

The name on site got added by yourself when trying to play casino . Might be different now but that's the way it worked back then. So still means the same thing many players today can still have a username on slots that they can not use to.log in with.

 

[sufferinsilence]

I like the sites you visit when playing slots.

I have nothing else to add.

So you probably have solved the issue. Most of us didn't know that.
Because without that explanation it did look very suspect.

 

[DreamRJ]

I use ladbrokes to play slots on from time to time and I never saw the contests tab?

How do I access it and play in them?

Also where is this wheel spin you are talking about? I do not even see a promotional page either. I never get any free spins or bonuses in ladbrokes the last years?

 

[Mixman22]

No he has not solved the issue. I have stated this and Ladbrokes have stated in black and white they are all user names. Paul7388 is incorrect as you can see from screenshot . YOU CANNOT CHANGE YOUR NAME IN SLOT TOURNEMENTS ITS IMPOSSIBLE AS STATED BY LADBROKES I HAVE JUST POSTED THE TRUTH AS STATED BELOW. They state the slot tournament winners are all account names (yes Paul,account names, unless Paul works for Ladbrokes PLEASE SEE THE SCREEENSHOT.

Playing one free tournament at Coral, it was a luck of the irish game (something like that) and the coin game triggered where the screen fills up and you get 3 chances for another coin land, well I was astounded to see the whole screen fill and even though that was a 1000x win I still came too far down the blinking leaderboard!

I'd never considered it could be AI generated, does give you pause for thought, but have often wondered how people gain some of the size of wins they do within 30 spins even on some pretty shite games that generally never payout much like fishin frenzy ones.

 

[SlotWhisperer]

Your login username is different from a Slots nickname.

You register and choose your login name and only when you load a game for the first time you're prompted for your nickname.

The CS agent is incorrect, but it doesnt mean the Casinos trying to fake results.

Thank you . That's what I tried to explain and was told I was wrong lol.

Reminds me of the guy who complains about PokerStars Races Leaderboards


On our end you can set your own leaderboard name, if i look at previous month winners. Only one shows his real name, rest is all random stuff with or without a number.

If this goes any way towards allaying fears regarding rigged leaderboard this was my result from one last night with Coral. I know I mentioned in the thread before but I didn't have any screenshots to back it up at the time. Interestingly I had a £25 2nd place win on ladbrooks I think a few weeks ago and that had a huge wagering requirement like 40x I think which was awful considering if I'd got a bit lower and got 5000 ladbucks instead that was guaranteeed £5. Coral however simply had a 1x playthrough requirement which is far more reasonable and means you actually win most of what you 'won'.
