From April 1st, 2024, you won’t be able to use your Coral Connect Card online or for transactions. But don’t worry – it’s not heading the way of the Blockbuster card just yet. Now strictly for in-store use, it offers some cracking benefits you won’t find online. We’re here to help you uncover them.
What Is Coral Connect Card?
In a nutshell, your Coral connect card is a physical rewards card that provides extra benefits to customers betting in-shop. You’ll enjoy best odds guaranteed – ensuring you always get paid out at the highest price -, enhanced lotto odds to boost your potential returns and weekly free-to-play games with prizes of up to £7,000.
On top of that, this card unlocks exclusive promotions only available from Coral branches, giving you access to unique offers.
How Does Coral Connect Card Work?
It couldn’t be simpler. This is an exclusively shop-based benefit, available to both new and existing customers. Once you’ve signed up to Coral Connect, just hand your card over to the person behind the counter when you place a bet, and you’ll be all set to enjoy the latest rewards.
The Advantages of Coral Connect
Since the Coral Connect Card can no longer be used for transactions, what’s it still good for? Essentially, it works as an offline loyalty scheme for existing players, offering several in-person only promos that are deffo worth checking out if you enjoy a flutter in the shop. You can even enjoy these perks alongside your online rewards, so you don’t have to choose.
BOG in-store/Enhanced lotto odds
Most of the perks of this reward card are constantly changing and are mostly advertised in-store. However, one thing that’s always on offer is Best Odds Guaranteed – meaning if your horse’s Starting Price (SP) is higher than the odds you took, you’ll get paid out at the better SP. This is also the case with enhanced lotto odds, offering increased returns on Pick 3, Match 3 6-ball 49s or Irish Lotto Draw wins.
Weekly free to play games
The little brochure we picked up from our local bookie mentioned that the Coral Card grants you access to weekly free-to-play games. Which games and other details vary by shop, but when we popped in, it included free lotto and bingo games. The prizes weren’t half bad either, with up to £7,000 up for grabs throughout the week – a proper corker of a deal.
Exclusive in-store promotions
What about other perks? Well, they’re a bit of a mystery, as Coral’s in-store promotions aren’t advertised in advance. The bloke behind the counter at the Wakefield shop told us about a cracking deal: bet £5 on any market (minimum odds 1/2) and get 4 x £5 free bets to use at that retail location by the week’s end. That’s the fun part – you never know what’ll be on offer when you pop in.
TIP:
Check on location restrictions for promotions at Coral shops – Some offers, like the free bets example mentioned above, aren’t just unavailable online – they’re also restricted to certain stores. So, you can only grab that bonus at specific locations. Other offers, like the weekly free-to-play games, are available at all retail spots. If you're unsure, just ask the person at the till about any location restrictions for the bonus you're eyeing.

This one's a doddle. If you Pick 3 and Match 3 on the 6-ball 49s or Irish Lotto Draw (bonus ball excluded) and win, you’ll get enhanced odds when you show your Coral Betting Card at the counter. The boosted odds vary by shop, so keep an eye on the in-store adverts for the increased returns on a £1 bet – and if you're unsure, just have a word with the staff.
