Coral Esports Betting Launched!

Coral, one of the few remaining high street bookmakers not to offer CSGO betting markets have finally joined the Esports betting revolution. You can now find betting on games including CounterStrike: Global Offensive and Dota 2 on their homepage. Coral Esports betting can be found on the left hand side of the page and is contained within its own dedicated section. They’ve started offering markets this week and from what we’ve seen, we’re impressed. The maximum stake limits are high and the markets are well laid out – each game is split out and you can then see a list of available matches along with their starting times.

Coral is one of the most recognisable brands in the online and offline betting landscape and they are licensed and regulated by the Gibraltar Gambling Commission. They have their headquarters in Stratford, London as well as offices in Gibraltar. Additionally the parent company of Coral, Gala Coral are currently in talks with Ladbrokes about a massive merger of the two high street brands. If this happens the new company will have the biggest presence on the high street. It’s impossible to walk through any major town centre without seeing a Coral shop – though we are not sure yet whether their esports betting is available in their retail outlets.

As it stands, Coral have only been offering match winner markets. This is normal for most bookmakers who take their first steps into Esports. We can expect to see further markets such as handicaps and map scores in the near future. As is typical for CSGO, some of the match winning markets have seen some very short priced favourites, but Coral allows you to create multiple bets so you can get a better potential return.

One understandable downside is when there are no Esports markets currently live on the Coral website you’ll be unable to find the Esports section, as it gets removed from the front page.

Coral offer one of the slickest websites and mobile app which is easy to use. As you’d expect from one of the premium brands they offer a wide range of top quality sports betting opportunities and constantly run different enhancements and promotions for new and current customers.

New customers can enjoy one of the most generous new customer offers on the market: bet £5 and get a £20 free bet. Place your first £5 bet and instantly you’ll receive your £20 bet to play with. Click here to head over Coral where you will be eligible for this welcome offer.
