Bet €10 Get €30

If you wander down a high street anywhere in the United Kingdom, you’re bound to come to a Coral location. The familiar blue sign indicates that is one of the 3,000+ betting shops resulting from the 2015 deal with Ladbrokes, operating now under the Ladbrokes-Coral Group ownership.

Coral has over 90 years as a prominent UK bookmaker, but only a decade of online presence. Regardless, it has managed to launch a premier betting site focusing on sports, but also providing a turnkey service with casino games, a poker room, bingo, and lotto.

The website is licensed by both the Gibraltar Gambling Commission and the UK Gambling Commission. With 30,000 employees in the Ladbrokes-Coral Group, you could call it anything but a fly by night operation.

About Coral

Coral provides plenty of betting options including a comprehensive in-play area as well as live streaming of thousands of games and matches each week. The casino is comparatively smaller but focuses on the top progressive jackpot games offered through the Playtech brand collection. The Vegas casino area, small live casino, and “games” section further enhance the variety, and include table games and video poker in the mix.

Bonuses are plentiful, banking is free, and a loyalty club allows regular customers to accumulate points that will eventually convert to cash.

Who Can Use Coral’s Services?

Coral is a sportsbook that caters primarily to players from the UK and Republic of Ireland. Players must be 18 years of age or older. In addition to Britain and Ireland, registration is offered to residents of the following areas:

Argentina, Belarus, Croatia, Georgia, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Iceland, Isle of Man, Jersey, Lichtenstein, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Netherlands, New Zealand, St Kitts and Nevis, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Sweden.

Software Suppliers

Coral’s casino is powered by the Playtech software brand. In addition to over 100 games in the collection, the majority of the big progressive jackpot series slot games like the DC Superheroes and Age of the Gods are all included for players.

The Good Stuff

Feature Rich Sportsbook

It’s not just the massive list of sports and markets that elevate the sportsbook’s level of service. Instead, it’s all of the value-add opportunities and extra features like live streaming of the games and matches, enhanced odds specials, custom bonus offers, no minimum bet requirement, and a £1 million top football payout that make the difference.

Something For Everyone

While Coral is primarily known as a bookmaker, coral.co.uk offers so much more. It’s a one-stop shop for bingo, poker, lotto, and regular and live casino gaming action. There are different promotions in place for the various betting opportunities, and players can take advantage of any of the options under their one Coral player’s account.

Progressive Jackpots

Having 118 slot games may not indicate the most extensive online casino, but it’s the individual games that stand out above all else. Playtech provides the software, and Coral has opted to host the company’s games with the most significant payout potential. The Age of the Gods series and the DC Superhero linked progressives take up most of the real estate in the jackpot section, but there’s also Jackpot Giant, Gladiator, and Frankie Dettori’s Magic Seven Jackpot.

The Not Quite As Good’ Stuff

UK Punters Take Center Stage

While this is not necessarily “bad,” the UK and Irish punters are offered many more sports betting opportunities and bonus offers. The United Kingdom is the number one market for Coral, so, compared to a site like Unibet, it won’t have as big of a service for customers in other areas.

Withdrawals Can Take Up To Five Days

Coral is a more “middle of the road” operator when it comes to payouts. It can turn some of the e-wallet withdrawals around very fast, but credit and debit card users and bank transfer recipients may be waiting up to five business days. While that’s still not too bad, many casinos are vying for new business by offering same day payouts.

Sportsbook

You’re not missing out on any bookmaking service through the Coral sportsbook. Although the focus is on UK coverage, there are plenty of international matches to appeal to all types of global punters. In addition to bonuses and sportsbook-only promotions, you’ll find enhanced odds and specials, live streaming of nearly 2,000 games every week, and plenty of in-play action as well.

With the high street shops conveniently located, customers can use the online book and then pick up their payouts in-store, a benefit unavailable through most betting sites.

Recreational bettors have no minimum stake to meet, and high rolling wagers accommodate up to a £1 million payout maximum on top-level football. The football jackpot also allows for accumulators of £1 to £20 per line with a weekly £100,000 prize pool.
