Gibraltar Gaming Commission<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat makes Coral Safe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Betting sites need to deal with sensitive information, including financial and personal details, so it is essential that this information is kept secure. It is essential that betting sites are well regulated and everything that they offer is fair and legal. I set out my key points for making betting sites safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What makes a betting site safe<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\nSafety of funds<\/li>\n\n\n\n Security of personal information<\/li>\n\n\n\n Official Licenses<\/li>\n\n\n\n Responsibly Gambling policy and tools<\/li>\n\n\n\n Clear terms and conditions<\/li>\n\n\n\n Easily accessible information on policies<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nAll of the information regarding these policies and all terms and conditions are straightforward to find on Coral\u2019s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat makes Coral a safe and reputable company<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead>Coral hold licenses from and are regulated by both the UK Gambling Commission and the Gibraltar Gaming Commission. This means that they have to adhere to a strict code of conduct and that they are extremely Ill monitored.Chris Sampson:<\/strong>Sports you can bet on at Coral<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Coral\u2019s sportsbook is most extensive. They offer almost 50 different sports markets. The popular sports such as football, horse racing, rugby union, cricket, tennis and golf are all well covered, along with more niche sports such as surfing and shooting. The depth to many of the markets is impressive with a large variety of leagues being catered for. The bookmaker also has and Esports section and covers specials, such as politics and tv shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSports Betting Markets at Coral, depth and quality<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead>Coral have a vast sportsbook, which also offers depth across a range of sports and leagues. Football, Horse racing and Tennis are all covered particularly well. Football, for example, has huge depth, with bets available for some of the more obscure leagues around the world, as well as popular markets such as the Premier League. They offer a large range of markets from the result of games, to player props (number of passes made, cards, goals, assists). As Ill these hugely popular sports, punters who want to bet on sports with smaller followings such as softball, rowing and fishing have their needs catered for, along with the specials markets for TV and politics.Chris Sampson:<\/strong>Coral Odds Offers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Coral\u2019s sportsbook consistently offer fair and competitive odds. I looked at three football matches, from the Premier League and the Championship in England, and from the Champions League. Their payout margins averaged at 93.9%. For the same fixtures Ladbrokes averaged 93.5%, 888sport 94% and BetVictor 92.4%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Rugby League I took three fixtures from the opening Weekend of the Super League. Coral’s payout margin averaged 89.8% compared to Ladbrokes (90.5%), 888sport (89.4%) and Bet Victor (90.4%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For horse racing I looked at the 16:20 at Wetherby and the bookie had a payout margin of 80.83% compared to Ladbrokes (84.5%), 888sport (84.9%) and BetVictor (86.2%)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Odds can be viewed as fractional or decimal.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCoral odds: Fair consistent and competitive<\/th><\/tr><\/thead> Chris Sampson:<\/strong>Coral Betting Options and Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Coral offer a good range of markets, options and features to enhance your betting experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cash out<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Coral have a cash out feature which allows you to lock in a profit or loss before waiting for the event to finish. The partial cash out feature allows you to cash out a chosen amount and leave the remainder on your bet to run. You can cash out your bets by viewing your live bets and clicking on the cash out button next to the bet you wish to cash out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Variety of Markets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n As Ill as traditional markets Coral offer a wide range of options. Individual player props are becoming very popular, and these are available in a range of sports. In football, for some individual players, there are number of special markets set up for number of shots, passes or cards. This is available in cricket too, where you can predict how many runs a batsman will score. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other sports to offer in-play betting tennis, golf, snooker, rugby, baseball, basketball and E-sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are multiple in-play markets to choose from. For example, in football, as well as the standard match winner, you can bet on which team has the most corners or who will score the next goal. In-play markets on more niche sports or lower tiers of sport, may lack the depth and variety of more popular events. There is a graphic available to keep you up to date with the action, as well as a range of statistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Live Streaming<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Along with its great in-play section Coral also provides a live-streaming service. Streams are offered on selected sports and events, which include football, basketball, tennis and horse racing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However when you become familiar with the site it becomes much easier to use. The large odds icons are ideal for customers new to betting and navigation between sports in easy with the A-Z menu.
