Coral

Coral was established in 1926 and runs betting shops across the country alongside its website and app. It belongs to Entain, the FTSE-listed group formerly called GVC Holdings, which acquired Ladbrokes Coral Group; Ladbrokes is now a sister brand.

Online accounts in Great Britain are run by LC International Limited, a Gibraltar-based company holding Gambling Commission account 54743, whose remote licence spans real-event and virtual betting, pool betting, casino and bingo. The same company operates Ladbrokes online. Coral's shops trade under a separate licence held by Ladbrokes Betting & Gaming Limited (account 1611).

The Coral Rewards card links the two channels: it lets customers deposit and withdraw money in Coral shops and play online with the same account.

Coral's app listings centre on football and horse racing. Greyhounds, tennis (Grand Slams, ATP and WTA events), basketball (NBA, NCAA and EuroLeague, including points and handicap markets), boxing and rugby are among the other sports it lists.

Coral's football markets take in Premier League and Champions League fixtures and competitions worldwide, with accumulators and in-play betting.

Coral's Bet Builder puts selections such as the match result, goalscorers, total goals and corners into a single bet with an instant price, and it is offered across more than 100 football leagues and competitions. Cash Out is available on selected in-play football markets and on selected Bet Builder markets.

Coral prices horse racing every day, with win, each-way and special bets on UK, Irish and international meetings and the major festivals. Bet In-Race keeps the market open after the off, with live odds as the race unfolds, and a bet can be cashed out while the race is running.

Best Odds Guaranteed applies to qualifying horse racing bets in the UK and Ireland placed from 8am on the day of the event: a winning bet is paid at the starting price whenever that beats the price taken. It does not cover every racing bet. Exclusions include ante-post and Tote bets, enhanced prices, Betting Without markets and bets that have been cashed out. Qualifying singles on UK greyhound races are covered by Best Odds Guaranteed too.

Live betting at Coral spans in-play football and in-race horse racing, and greyhound races can be watched live in the app.

Cash Out ends a bet early by settling it before its market closes. It covers singles and single-line accumulators made up entirely of markets where Cash Out is offered, but not full-cover bets such as Trixies, Lucky 15s and Heinz. Its availability is not guaranteed: Coral can suspend or withdraw it, a request can fail if the odds change or the market is suspended before it is processed, and a successful cash-out settles the original bet straight away.

The Coral sports app is on the App Store, where Entain is the developer and Entain Operations Limited the provider, and on Google Play, where it is listed by LC International Limited. It is rated 18+ on the App Store and PEGI 18 on Google Play.

Its listing describes hundreds of betting markets, with Bet Builder, in-play and in-race betting, greyhound streams and Cash Out in the one app.

Coral's gambling controls page distinguishes two limits that customers can set on deposits. A Spend (Net) Limit lets withdrawals restore some of the room to deposit, whereas a Deposit Limit counts every deposit whatever is withdrawn. Either can run for a day, a week or a month; cutting a limit is effective immediately, while raising one must be confirmed once 24 hours have passed.

Coral also lists a deposit curfew, reality checks, play breaks, time-outs, account closure and self-exclusion, alongside a budget calculator, a self-assessment and GAMSTOP. Separately, Coral can apply system-set loss limits or deposit caps, and depending on the reason these may extend to other Entain brands. Its app listings signpost BeGambleAware on 0808 8020 133.
