About

Coral is one of the UK's oldest bookmakers having been established in 1926. The brand has come a long way from taking bets from punters in pubs and shops across London and is now one of the most established betting brands in the world.

In 2016, Coral was acquired by rival bookmaker Ladbrokes and both are now owned by Entain which was formerly GVC Holdings. Entain  also owns other popular betting brands such as Bwin, PartyPoker and Sportingbet.

Coral offers betting across a wide range of sports and markets as well as casino, poker and bingo products all via the Coral website and apps.

This Coral bookmakers review will look at areas such as the signup offer, standard of odds, customer support options, sports & markets and much more.

Is Coral Safe?

Coral has been established for almost 100 years and during that time, has built up a strong and positive reputation as a trustworthy betting brand.

The bookie is licenced and regulated by the Gambling Commission for customers in the UK and offer customers the highest protection of their funds.

All UK bookmakers are required to state what level of protection they apply to customers' funds with the options being High, Medium or Low protection. Very few betting sites offer the highest protection and so this is great to see from Coral. The highest level means that customers' funds are held in bank accounts that are not controlled by the bookmaker and instead, by a third party. This means that in the unlikely event that the bookie got into financial trouble, customers' funds would not be accessible and would be returned to the customer by the third party.

Opening an account with Coral takes only a few minutes and can either be done via the website or the Coral app.
