General Information Coral was establish in 1926 and, in contrast to many bookmakers, is still headquartered in Great Britain. After merging with Eurobet, the internationally successful online betting provider, Coral was renamed Coral Eurobet in 1999. With the merger of Coral Eurobet and the Gala Group, the subsequent Gala Coral Group became one of the top 100 companies in the United Kingdom. Today, it is one of the most successful gambling companies in the world. In addition to "Coral Bookmakers" and "Eurobet Sports Betting," the Gala Coral Group also owns and operates "GalaBingo" and "GalaCasinos." While Eurobet strives to meet the needs of international sports betting enthusiasts, Coral is perfectly suited to the tastes of bettors in the United Kingdom. Coral is operated by Eurobet UK Ltd. and is licensed in Great Britain. The Gala Coral Group is the only gambling provider in Great Britain that has made all of the products it offers online available "on the street" as well. In addition to 1,900 betting shops across Europe, the Gala Coral Group also operates more than 30 casinos and over 170 bingo clubs throughout the United Kingdom. Currently, the international gambling network is planning to expand its market to include Italy (as of September, 2008). Coral operates more than 1,300 betting shops and two dog racing stadiums in the United Kingdom.
Bets Offered The range of bets offered includes all the most popular sports in the United Kingdom, from football and cricket to horse and dog races to golf, athletics and darts. Bets on events in politics and the world of entertainment are also available. The betting portfolio is extensive and contains various single and parlay betting options as well as system bets. Bets can be placed over the phone and online. Among the alternative bets, handicap bets and half-time bets as well as the unique "combo" bet can be found. With this betting option, customers can bet on the player that will score the first goal along with what the final score will be. Unfortunately, bets using the Asian Handicap are not currently accepted (as of September, 2008). An especially creative alternative bet can be found in the horse racing section under the menu option "racing specials." There, you can, for example, place bets on the total lead (in lengths of horses) of all the first place horses of the day.
Furthermore, special promotions are often offered for big upcoming events.
At Coral, live bets can be placed on football (soccer) and snooker. The current “5 next live betting” opportunities are always listed on the website and are kept up-to-date. Extras and Games The mobile sports betting service provides users the same features they have online: from live bets to special offers, single and alternative bets, game results and withdrawing funds – everything can be done confidently with the help of a mobile phone. Above all, this service allows customers to place bets from anywhere, any time. Under "Extras," you'll find the "Coral bet calculator," which can be especially helpful for parlay bets. You just need to enter the stake, odds and the number of bets and the possible winnings will be calculated automatically. Coral does not just offer sports betting. Their software also includes a casino (Coral Casino), an area for classic games, Gala Bingo and a poker room (Coral Poker). In the “Lotto World,” for instance, you can bet on lotteries from around the world and decide how many balls you would like to bet on. The game, “Virtual Football,” simulates a football season, with more than 40 different football leagues from around the world that players can place bets on. A season lasts one hour. With the help of a random number generator is used to produce the game results and the system’s ratings for each individual team are taken into account as well. In addition to the conventional online casino, Coral has one more fantastic speciality: the “Live Casino,” where you can play blackjack, roulette and baccarat with beautiful live dealers. Thanks to video streaming, you can watch the action at the table live in real time. The girls are always happy to answer your questions or have a little chat, just like in a real casino!
