In the new executive position that has been formed for Ladbrokes, Edward Ihre will be reporting directly under The Remote Betting and Gambling Manager Director, John Riley. Ihre has commented, "Ladbrokespoker is a strong brand in the online poker world and also operates some of the best offline events," "My focus will be on continuing the innovation and growth that Ladbrokespoker.com has demonstrated in recent years and establishing a market-leading affiliate network."

Ladbrokes possess nothing but genuine beliefs in taking care of their players and work closely with Gamcare (a registered charity that is the leading authority on the social impact of gambling while promoting a responsible approach to gambling and address the needs of players with a gambling dependency) to ensure their poker site protects those with the vulnerability to gambling addiction which is why Ladbrokes continues to have such success as a leading UK bookmaker.

Edward Ihre's immense success in increasing affiliate contribution of the new customer at Poker Room as well as other uk online poker rooms will prove quite beneficial to Ladbrokes.
