Coral Poker

Coral is a well known bookmaker brand  in Great Britain, operating since 1926. It merged with the popular European bookmaker Eurobet UK to form Coral Eurobet in 1999 and Coral Poker was launched in 2002. Gala, a major UK gaming group, acquired the company in 2005.

Now recognised as Gala Coral, it is one of Europe’s top betting and gaming companies with over 1,700 betting shops in the UK (as Coral), employing 11,000 people and hundreds in Italy using the Eurobet name.

Variety of Games

Coral Poker uses Playtech software which has good graphics, functionality and security. You can expect the following games at the website:

• Hold’em
• Omaha Hi and Hi-Lo
• Seven Card Stud (including High Low version)
• Heads Up
• Ring games and multi-table tournaments

If you are in to playing more than one game at a time you can have a maximum of 12 tables open at any one time. You may find the poker looser than usual because lots of players will join from Coral’s bookmaker and casino websites. Not a bad thing if you want to make some easy money!

Tournaments & Freerolls

Coral Poker sponsors Late Night Poker which is broadcast on television in the UK. It gives you the opportunity to play for a share of $10,000 and pit your wits alongside poker pros and other online qualifiers.  Regular satellites and qualifers are held for this tournament.

Bonuses & Promotions

New players have the choice of two deposit bonuses which makes Coral Poker appealing to both high rollers and casual players alike. You can choose either the $25 for $10 or $1,000 bonus:

• Deposit $10 and receive a $25 bonus (Code: 25FOR10)

Coral Poker also runs a VIP Loyalty Program which generates points every time any real money play occurs at the tables. These points can be exchanges for bonuses and tournament tickets. Points are multiplied based on your VIP level and are accrued faster the higher up the ladder you climb.

New players are entered into the “New Players Race” and the top 50 players win a share of $1,000. Similarly, a “VIP Points Race” is open to everybody with $10,000 in cash prizes paid out to the top 100 point earners each month.

Coral Poker VIPs can also participate in special freerolls and other tournaments.
