Coral Sports Review

Although they have never really been the biggest bookmakers on the High Street, Coral are still a well-known name to old and young punters throughout the country. They were established in 1926 so obviously have a very long history, and they moved online approximately 10 years ago. Their online arm is now one of the largest bookmakers in the world and they are the first choice for thousands of eager punters in the UK and abroad. So, what do you need to know regarding Coral Sports when you are considering which online bookies to sign up with?

It is virtually impossible to get confused when signing up to Coral Sport, as the registration process simply involves filling out a few personal details, imputing your preferred payment method and then confirming your sign-up through the email that they send out. To sign up with them, all you need to do is click on the orange “Open an account” button in the top right of the screen. The “Log in” button is next to this for the next time you visit the site.

The first thing that you will notice about Coral is unfortunately a negative one, as the site itself is not very appealing to the eye. They use lots of text and this makes the site look bland; we would like to see more images and a more intuitive layout as well. The upside to this reliance on text is that they have the chance to present a huge amount of information on each page, which they certainly do. Therefore, the site is certainly one for those who are already used to navigating their way around an online betting site, not for beginners.

One thing that we really like about the site though is the fact that all of the other facets of it are well-integrated, such as the poker, bingo and casino sections of the site. This means that you can easily navigate from one section to the next, should you feel the need to have a break from betting on sporting events for a while!

What Coral have lost in the design of their site, they have certainly gained in the amount of information that they can display on every single page. They might not have the most comprehensive list of sports available to bet on – sites like Bet365 and 888Sport have more – but the depth that they go into on each of the sports that they do offer is staggering.

The odds that they present – both before a game and during the in-play betting – are well known as being extremely competitive, which is part of the reason why they are many more experienced punters’ first choice website. Odds for different events also go up very early, often giving players months to decide who will be victorious and to place their bet.

Bonuses are an important consideration for all punters when they are looking to sign up with a new betting site. Unfortunately, Coral Sport do not offer many bonuses or promotions, apart from the one mentioned below:

Welcome Bonus: All new players can receive a 100% match on their first deposit, up to a maximum value of £30

Coral Sport is certainly not the most user friendly site, therefore we recommend it for those who are more serious about gambling, and not for those looking to step into the world for the first time. They do offer a number of different markets to bet on, but unfortunately they badly let themselves down with the lack of promotions offered. Although they are without doubt trusted and safe to use, we can think of a number of other sites that we would recommend more than Coral Sport.

This review is based on a non-weighted average and while, more often than not, the overall score is an average of the individual review categories, the editors at Free 25 Bet reserve the right to tweak the overall score if we feel it does not reflect our assessment of the bookmakers.
