Coral started life as an independent retail bookmaker in the UK, growing to 1,800 shops. In 2016 Coral merged with Ladbrokes to become ‘Ladbrokes Coral’ which in turn was acquired by the gambling giant GVC.
Being part of GVC has the advantages of economies of scale - this is the reason the Ladbrokes website and Coral website are now very visually similar.
What exactly does this mean for lotto bettors? Well, unfortunately, it’s not all good news. Since the merger both Coral and Ladbrokes have started offering odds on fewer lotteries. Previously Coral offered odds on more lotteries than any other bookmaker - now, they only offer odds on Irish, Daily Millions and 49’s.
Coral and Ladbrokes both independently set their odds for the lotteries offered. Coral are typically better odds than Ladbrokes although are quite below par when compared to other bookmakers such as Betfred or bet365.
Coral do have a welcome offer for lottery bettors, although it’s not very attractive compared with some bookmakers. Their current offer is 10% cashback* when a bettor spends over £10 on lottery bets in any given week. To check other bookmakers' offers click here.

Our Opinion
Coral have a limit of £100,000 that can be won by a customer on any single lottery draw. However this limit doesn't apply to the Irish lottery, Monday Millions and 49's 6-number draws where the maximum amount that can be won is £500,000.
