Ladbrokes made proactive moves in management designed to maintain the net casino operator healthy, profitable, and dominant in its industry.

Ladbrokes shook up its management staff this week, replacing the top of online gaming and the director of retail operations, among other moves. Company CEO Richard Glynn told the Wall Street Journal that the operation needed refreshing and updating, with a goal of generating online casino patron loyalty.

Increasing promotions, offers, and incentive programs is a focus for Ladbrokes, together with supplying state-of-the-art technology. Beyond creating traffic to its Internet gambling sites by drawing new visitors, Ladbrokes is preparing for intensification of competition by targeting how you can retain customers who've previously used the service.

This means offering essentially the most modern adaptations of sports betting, similar to live wagering featuring in-game play and constantly shifting odds. It also involves concentration on separating and raising brand awareness above other online gaming operators, and providing responsive customer service.

"We are moving swiftly to handle historical operational weaknesses," Glynn told the Journal. "WE'RE changing the DNA of the business."

Glynn asserted the changes were necessary before adaptations by competitors similar to the newly formed PartyGaming-Bwin union leave Ladbrokes trailing in a rapidly shifting online casino environment.
