Coral App Review

For this latest review, we will be covering Coral’s mobile app. Founded in 1926, Coral started out as just a single betting shop which was set up by Joe Coral and they now find themselves owning over 1,900 shops across the United Kingdom. In 2005, Coral joined forced with Gala, which made them the third largest bookmaker and bingo operator in the United Kingdom. Then in 2016, Ladbrokes acquired Gala Coral and changed their name to Ladbrokes Coral. Keeping with the ever-changing times, Coral offers more than just your standard sportsbook with a wide array of gambling products to keep every type of gambler entertained.

Accessibility

iOS and Android

The Coral mobile app is very easy to obtain with iOS users finding the download on the Apple App Store, which has ranked the app at 16th against other sporting apps. Android devices also support the app, but users will need to head over to Coral’s mobile site where they can request the download link by entering their mobile number or email. Windows phone users have not been forgotten about with their mobile app attainable via their Windows Store.

If you are using a device that happens not to support the mobile app, then do not panic as their mobile webpage is accessible via your phone’s internet browser and contains all of the features found on the app.

In terms of navigating through the Coral app, things tend to be fairly easy to find with all their available sports listed in alphabetical order on their own separate page. Amongst the list of sports, you will find markets on TV specials, Politics and the lottery showing the huge depth of their impressive sportsbook. Despite being fairly easy to navigate around, a simple search bar would not go amiss as an addition to the app.

Other Gambling Products

Vegas Casino App

These days it is not enough for major bookmakers to provide their punters with just a simple sportsbook and Coral recognises this and provides its customers with a Vegas Casino App. This app allows players to diverse from the usual sportsbook and place bets on typical games found in casinos which include roulette, blackjack, magic sevens and countless more. All games have been blessed with smooth gameplay and superb graphics. Coral boasts jackpots that can be won by its players that exceed over £1 million, making it particularly enticing for users. Currently, new customers can get a welcome bonus of £50 when they deposit and place a bet of £10. Amongst the wide selection of casino games, players can get involved in poker tournaments, which have their own loyalty scheme for their loyal players. This app can be found for both iOS and Android users on their respective app stores.

Live Casino App

If Coral’s standard automated vegas style casino games are not enough for you then you can take it one step further with their Live Casino app. Players can choose from over 80 different lobbies where they can go face-to-face with a real dealer and play their favourite casino games live. Unfortunately, this Live casino app is only currently available for iOS users, who can find it on their app store and anyone else looking to get involved can access it via their website. Coral are offering the same £50 bonus when you deposit and bet £10 promotion on their live casino service.

Coral Connect

Coral Connect is an innovative app released by Coral which allows punters who prefer to place their bets in-store the ability to track all their bets from their phone. Punters will be able to enter their bet code or simply scan their bet receipt to track all their bets and get quick access to their cash out feature. Coral Connect also provides its users with all the latest sporting actions and events taking place. Players that sign-up to this service are eligible for a free Coral Connect Card, which works like a typical loyalty card that they can earn points on and unlock exclusive rewards and offers. And it’s good news for Android users as this app is available for them as well as iOS users.

App Features

To remain competitive in this tight market, Coral continues to improve and add useful features to its app which might give them the edge over fellow bookmakers.

Cash Out

The cash out option is a beloved feature by an experienced punter who knows the pain of losing their potential winnings after having to wait until the end of the event. However, with Coral’s cash out option, players have more control over their bets and if applicable, can settle their bet before the event has finished. However, you will not be offered the full amount that your stake originally would return, but a percentage of it which is determined by a number of factors. Coral has added a ‘partial’ cash out option too, which allows you to cash out as much as you would like, rather than the whole amount and leave the rest of the stake to run.

Live Streaming

For a selection of sports, Coral offers its customer the ability to watch the action unfold through their app; a perfect feature for someone who is betting on the move. Coral customers can expect to find live streams of all UK horse races and selected events in football, tennis and basketball. A clever thumbnail option allows you to shrink the live stream so that you can navigate around the app at the same time.

Build Your Bet

‘Build Your Bet’ is a feature that you will not be able to find on every bookmaker’s app, but Coral is one place that you will. You creative gamblers can go wild with this feature as it allows you to select your bet from a huge array of different markets available across countless football matches. Once you have made your perfect bet, Coral will supply you with odds relative to the bet you have made. This feature is available to be used across the Premier League, Championship, League One and a number of other European leagues.

Deposits and Withdrawals

When Coral’s customers come to depositing or withdrawing money in their account there is a selection of different methods they can use;

Major credit and debit cards – Mastercard, Visa and Maestro

E-wallets – Neteller, Skrill

Bank Transfers – Paypal, Paysafecard, Ecopayz

Vouchers

Cash payments

Coral has a minimum deposit amount of £5 with all the option listed above apart from PayPal which has a £10 minimum amount. When withdrawing money, the amount must be equal to, or greater than £5. Withdrawals from credit and debit cards can typically take anywhere between 3-5 working days for the funds to be allocated to your account, while E-wallets have the shortest delays of around 24 hours.

Customer Support

Coral offer three main ways that their customers can get in touch with them via, which include, their live chat service, email and telephone. To use Coral’s live chat service you will need to be signed into your account and then you can rely on their quick responses to find solutions to all your problems. When contacting their support team via email be ready to wait anywhere up to 48 hours for a response. Loyal customers who have been earning points through Coral’s loyalty programme can expect to be seen to first above customers who have fewer or no points.

Coral can be reached through social media with them holding accounts on both Facebook and Twitter. However, these methods should not be prioritised when in need of help as they have a lot of interaction to deal with.

Final Words

After reviewing all of Coral’s finest features and extra apps they offer for their customers, it is clear to see why they have been a favourite for punters across the country. Their innovative team is always trying to find ways of improving their content and offering features that enhance the experience of their customers. The Coral mobile app is reliable and easy to use with the only possible improvement it needs is a search bar to add to the ease of navigation, as has been successfully used on other sites. But, apart from that, their long list of bonuses and loyalty rewards certainly makes them one of the great choices of bookmakers on the market.
