Coral Betting

Coral Eurobet is one of the oldest betting organisations in the UK. Established in 1926, they operate over 1100 licensed betting shops throughout the UK. Eurobet is the international side of the business, offering online bettors from all over the globe an easy and secure way to place their wagers on football, horse racing and a myriad of other sports.

One of the first things that strikes us about this site is the obvious way in which it has been designed with functionality in mind. The pages are clean and simple, making them all incredibly fast to load. Navigation is also quick and easy, and an overview page for each section allows you to see all the main betting events at a glance. This is important when you want to get your bets on in a rush, and it's something that other sports book sites would do well to learn from.

Opening an account with Coral Eurobet is refreshingly straightforward. Enter your personal details (name, address, date of birth, etc.) on a single page, select your preferred method of deposit (credit card, debit card, bank transfer or Quick Pay) and then click once to proceed. You can register with as little as £5, so you don't have to commit yourself to making a serious deposit until you really want to.

The minimum stake for single bets is just £1. For multiple bets (accumulators and speciality bets such as Trixies andYankees) the minimum is 10p. At the other end of the table, the maximum payout us £100,000, except for on greyhound racing, where the maximum payout us £10,000.

After reading all of this, you're probably thinking that the only thing missing from the Coral Eurobet site is a commentary service. Well, they have one of those too. Their daily commentary show is on air from 10am every day - and keeps running as long as the horses and greyhounds do. For those of you who like evening greyhound meetings, Coral go one better and provide live web-casting so that you can watch your races as well as listen to the action as it unfolds.

We've trawled through the site looking for something negative to say, but despite all our efforts we haven't found anything to complain about. Quite simply, Coral Eurobet brings the bookies office into your home. All that's missing is the stale smell of cigarette butts and sweaty bodies. And for that we're truly thankful.
