Usability, Look & Feel - An exceptional site
The Coral website branding is traditional and a throwback to its earlier days.
As one would expect from an established player, the site interface is clean, solid and easy to navigate. It sets an efficient template which should be followed by some other companies who have got it all wrong.
It is particularly comfortable for regular punters who focus their attention on the sports that attract most betting day-to-day interest in the UK, in particular horse racing and football. There is not the clutter displayed by many other organisations and you imagine a punter just cannot go wrong in trying to navigate to areas of interest.
The site boasts a simple three column pylon to welcome the bettor. The left-hand menu comprises of a handy ‘Quick Links’ compartment with easy access to current events.
The centre column displays upcoming horse races and other key sports events below the sharp boxed information portal, filled with evening events such as football, darts and boxing. On the right-hand side of the screen the ‘In-play’ facility is neatly placed on screen with football, cricket, tennis and basketball to the fore.
The main menu across the page is busy without being cluttered with ‘In-Play’, Virtuals, Casino, Games, Live Casino, Slots, Poker, Bingo, Vegas, Lotto and VIP’s catered for with sub tabs for live streams, live scores, results, statistics, news/blogs, Coral radio and football jackpots.
The new ‘Multi View’ facility is a ground breaker as far as betting sites are concerned offering an impressive choice of up to four events for personal display purposes.
Payments - A choice of payment methods
The innovative Coral Connect card is freely available to customers and connects accounts from online, mobile as well as the high street. This allows punters to bet online and collect from participating high street shops. It’s relatively hassle-free and quick.
Deposit methods include Skrill, Paypal, Mastercard, Visa, Visa Electron and Bank transfer while withdrawal methods include most of the deposit methods along with Money transfer. Deposits are easy and safe.
Customer Service - Great support from Coral
Coral’s customer service is at an acceptable level with the help section offering a ‘frequently asked questions’ source. The ‘contact us’ drop down menu again offers a number of questions and customised answers.
Coral’s ‘In-Play’ live chat is readily available as well as their call online support facility.
Overall Conclusion - One of the original bookmakers
It’s clear that Coral is a trusted and well-respected bookmaker with nine decades of experience and heavyweight partnerships behind them. Coral is no-frills and straightforward with their offerings. With a clean and easy to navigate website that is comfortable for regular punters with an affinity for football and horse racing, and the punter’s experience is further enhanced by rich video, audio, and written content that makes it hard to navigate away after punters have placed their regular bets.
