Ladbrokes Near Me in Aberdeen
Ladbrokes Near Me in Aberdeen
Quick answer: Aberdeen has four Ladbrokes branches with published hours, and two of them are on Union Street itself — at numbers 50 and 209, about half a mile apart. Both open at 8:00am and close at 10:00pm six days a week, with a 10:00pm Sunday too, which makes the city centre unusually well covered for an estate this small.

Where Aberdeen's Ladbrokes branches actually are
Aberdeen's estate is small and concentrated on the granite mile. Two of the four branches sit on Union Street, and both keep identical, generous hours. The third is just across the harbour at Torry, and the fourth is out at Dyce near the airport, five and a half miles north-west. There is nothing in Rosemount, Woodside, Mastrick or Bridge of Don.
Union Street: two branches, identical hours
50 Union Street, at the Castlegate end, and 209 Union Street, towards Holburn, are separate shops roughly half a mile apart. Both keep exactly the same pattern: 8:00am to 10:00pm Monday to Saturday and 8:30am to 10:00pm on Sunday.
That consistency is genuinely useful. Whichever end of Union Street you are on, the hours are the same, and both branches trade until ten every night of the week — including Sunday, which many city-centre shops elsewhere do not.
South Aberdeen: Torry
South Esplanade East in Torry, just across the Dee from the harbour, opens at 9:00am and closes at 9:30pm six days a week, dropping to 10:00am and 8:30pm on Sunday. It is the closest branch to the city centre after the two on Union Street, at a little over half a mile.
North Aberdeen: Dyce
Victoria Street in Dyce is the furthest branch by a wide margin, five and a half miles out near the airport. It keeps the shortest and latest-starting hours in the city: 9:30am to 8:00pm on weekdays, though it stretches to 8:30am to 8:30pm on Saturday. Sunday runs 10:00am to 7:00pm, the earliest finish anywhere in the Aberdeen estate.
Ladbrokes opening times in Aberdeen, day by day
The ranges below come from the four Aberdeen branches on this page rather than a national average for the chain. Because the two Union Street shops keep identical hours, the city-centre picture is simpler here than in most cities.
Ranges across the 4 Aberdeen branches listed above. Individual shops set their own hours under local licensing conditions.

Earliest opening in Aberdeen
Both Union Street branches open at 8:00am Monday to Saturday and are the only Aberdeen shops trading before 9:00am on a weekday. Torry follows at 9:00am and Dyce at 9:30am, the latest weekday start in the city — though Dyce does open at 8:30am on a Saturday. On a Sunday, the Union Street pair open earliest at 8:30am.
Latest closing in Aberdeen
The two Union Street branches close at 10:00pm every day of the week, Sunday included. Torry closes at 9:30pm on weekdays and Dyce at 8:00pm. There is a clear split here: the city centre trades to the maximum a UK betting shop can, while the two outer branches finish earlier.
Sunday is straightforward in the centre
Aberdeen is easier to plan for than most cities on a Sunday, because both Union Street branches keep a full 8:30am to 10:00pm. Torry closes at 8:30pm and Dyce at 7:00pm. If you are anywhere near the city centre on a Sunday evening, you have two options open until ten — a rarity for a four-branch estate.
What to expect inside a Aberdeen Ladbrokes
The shops are far more standardised than the hours. Every branch on this list is a licensed betting office regulated by the Gambling Commission, and the practical details are much the same from Union Street to Dyce.
- Over-the-counter betting on racing, football and most other sports, with staff who will write a bet up if you are unsure.
- Self-service betting terminals for placing bets without queueing at the counter.
- Live racing and sport on screen through the trading day.
- Grid card linking, so a bet placed in the shop can be tracked or settled through the app.
- Cash withdrawals of online winnings at the counter, subject to ID and the shop holding enough cash.
- Card and cash both accepted, though staking limits apply on machines.
- Scottish football coupons are more prominent in the Aberdeen branches than in English shops, alongside the usual racing and Premier League cards.
- Think 21 and Think 25 age checks operated in every branch, without exception.
Getting there
Both Union Street branches are on the main bus spine through the city, with number 50 a couple of minutes from the Castlegate and number 209 near Holburn Junction. Aberdeen railway station and the bus station are both within about five minutes of the 50 Union Street shop. Torry is a fifteen-minute walk over the Victoria Bridge or a short bus ride. Dyce has its own railway station a few minutes from Victoria Street.
Driving into the centre means the Union Square or Bon Accord car parks, since neither Union Street branch has parking of its own. Torry and Dyce are both far easier by car with parking nearby. Union Street itself has bus-priority restrictions on parts of its length, so check before driving down it. The directions button on each listing opens Google Maps in walking mode by default.
Before you travel. Check the closing time, not just whether the shop is currently open. Counter service usually winds down before the doors physically shut, so allow at least 20 minutes if you need to be served rather than use a terminal — particularly if you are collecting a large payout or withdrawing online winnings in cash.
18+ only. Every branch operates Think 21 or Think 25, so bring photo ID if you look under 25. A passport, UK photocard driving licence or PASS-accredited card will do.
Frequently asked questions
Which Ladbrokes are open near me in Aberdeen right now?
The live table at the top of this page answers that directly. It reads your device clock, sorts all four Aberdeen branches by distance and marks each one open, closing soon or closed, with a countdown to the exact closing time. Tap use my current location to re-sort the list around where you are rather than around the Castlegate.
Why are there two Ladbrokes on Union Street?
They are two separate branches about half a mile apart — number 50 at the Castlegate end and number 209 towards Holburn. Both keep identical hours: 8:00am to 10:00pm Monday to Saturday and 8:30am to 10:00pm on Sunday.
What time does Ladbrokes close in Aberdeen?
Both Union Street branches close at 10:00pm every day of the week. Torry closes at 9:30pm on weekdays and Dyce at 8:00pm.
What time does Ladbrokes open in Aberdeen?
The two Union Street branches open at 8:00am Monday to Saturday, the earliest in the city. Torry opens at 9:00am and Dyce at 9:30am on weekdays. Sunday opening is 8:30am on Union Street, 10:00am at Torry and Dyce.
Which Ladbrokes in Aberdeen is open latest on a Sunday?
Both Union Street branches, until 10:00pm — an unusually good Sunday for a city with only four shops. Torry closes at 8:30pm and Dyce at 7:00pm.
Is there a Ladbrokes in Rosemount, Mastrick or Bridge of Don?
No. Ladbrokes has no branch in Rosemount, Woodside, Mastrick or Bridge of Don. The four listed here — two on Union Street, one in Torry and one in Dyce — are the whole Aberdeen estate.
Are there any 24-hour Ladbrokes shops in Aberdeen?
No. UK licensed betting offices cannot trade around the clock, and the latest any Aberdeen Ladbrokes closes is 10:00pm. If the shops are shut, licensed online betting remains available to verified account holders.
Can I withdraw online winnings at a Ladbrokes shop here?
Generally yes, at the counter, using your Grid card or account details along with photo ID. It depends on the cash the shop is holding at the time, so for a large withdrawal phone the branch first on 0800 022 3454.
Do the opening hours change on bank holidays?
Yes. Most branches open on bank holidays but run reduced, Sunday-style hours. Christmas Day is the one date on which almost every UK betting shop closes. Holiday hours are set locally and change from year to year.
Why do Google and the Ladbrokes shop finder show different hours?
Third-party listings lag behind real changes, particularly around holidays, staffing gaps and refurbishments. When the two disagree, phone the branch. That is the only source reflecting today's actual position.
Safer gambling and support
Every shop listed here is licensed by the Gambling Commission and must offer the standard player protection tools: deposit and time limits on machines, self-exclusion, and staff trained to talk it through with you. Multi-Operator Self-Exclusion lets you block yourself from every betting shop within a chosen radius with a single request, and it covers rival brands as well as Ladbrokes. With two branches on Union Street alone, an exclusion radius set around the centre of Aberdeen covers both at once.
- Set a limit before you go, and treat it as fixed.
- Only stake money you can genuinely afford to lose.
- Do not chase losses — the most common route into difficulty.
- Take breaks, and avoid betting when stressed or under the influence.
