For newbies you will have to send proof of your identity. They wont pay up if you dont. They'll happily take your stake without proof though.

Russia to win :laughing:

It's called anti money laundering measures. You can't be laundering until you actually take money away so they don't ask for the proof until that point. Could ask you upfront but they know the hassle would put a large proportion off signing up , so only ask when you have motivation to supply.

The £50 win was so close i could smell it :disappointed:

Nice shout on that one. Any thoughts on the £5 free bet? The bet365 risk free came off nicely today at least... Every cloud.

LOL! :wink:

ok, I've got 4x£5 bets and the 5/1 on England scoring paid out in Cash - Bitter/sweet

Typical

mmm, wasn't expecting that - £45 for me then - Sorry

Well, this entire thread just became one big moot point.

we should have known better.... glad i put that other £2 on a draw as well now!

It will be Cash - it ended before they changed it to free bets (which they kept for the "England to score 5/1" offer)

I called and somehow managed to get them to give me both of their other good offers
5/1 on England to score AND place £5 get £20 back
So I obviously put the £5 on England to score

I've therefor (For my £5 which was minimum deposit anyway) got a bet on England to score at 5/1
So IF they score I get £45 (free bets :disappointed: ) plus my £5 back = £50 (kind of)
IF they don't I've got £20 (she actually added them as 4x £5 free bets)

Happy enough with that - I'll make them pay!!!

Twitter seems to be inconsistent. There is a response from them on there that seemingly confirms that it is in cash. I guess it's a case of waiting and seeing.

​I keep seeing different stuff on twitter saying it was a misprint then saying it's cash so not sure if it's cash or free bets

The issue is that they dont implement this rule from the very beginning. They will take your money and give you an account. But then when they have to pay up the winnings they suddenly demand identity. If you cant supply id or just dont want to send such info over email then you dont get your winnings. Not only that but you have to fight tooth and nail just to get your original stake back. They hope many will not even bother.

Its deceptive and sneaky. Dont take peoples money without being upfront about the rules.

Is this true? It said paid in cash.

I've done that, so win win!

Same here...

IMPORTANT

You should also be aware that Coral has probably silently installed a piece of malware tracking technology on your machines called IE Snare (they just did to me!) It is particularly cunning, as it is slip-streamed onto your computer via Flash - and so won't trigger any malware alerts.

IE Snare allows all the main bookmakers to identify you, restrict you from getting free offers/bets and prevent you from arbitrage - in some cases, they will close your accounts. More info and removal instructions here: http://www.geegeez.co.uk/iesnare-how-bookmakers-are-spying-on-you-from-your-own-computer/

You can confirm if IE Snare is now on your computer by opening up a command prompt (start -> all programs->accessories->command prompt) and then typing..... dir mp*.com /s and pressing enter.

Wait for the search to be complete, and you'll probably find you've been marked (Coral tagged me, so you probably were too)

Follow the removal instructions in the earlier article I linked to, and you can easily remove this nasty.

HTH :wink:

Apparently it isn't just been on Twitter to them and only the £1 part will be paid at 10/11 the rest is free bets

Same, pending bet with today's date 5pm

Showing as bet pending with the wrong date!? Any one else had this issue?

As it happens you seemingly can withdraw it, but it was a great deal even if it was paid in free bets. It's an outlay of £1 to potentially get 50x that in bets (which would eventually become withdrawable if you won subsequent bets), or 5x that at worst. Providing you know how to gamble responsibly that's a great deal for those looking to do some betting during the Euros.

Are you looking for a more detailed answer than 'because it has expired'? It was seemingly limited to a limit of 3,000 customers which has now been reached.

Why is this expired?

​it was a £1 max stake for the offer odds only

It didn't let you bet more than £1

I see no way to delete my new account again on their website - which, I suppose, is the whole point of these offers!

Did anyone bet more than £1 at 50-1? Came up with the option to bet more than £1 but didn't want to risk it, as probably in terms and conditions (which I didn't read).

If it's paid in cash and you can withdraw it it's a cracking deal if not awful deal

can you prove identity now or do you have to wait for them to request it

Just spoken to them on the phone (after being on hold for 20 mins)
basically - tough
3000 people took the offer - (Read: we left the page open longer than we should have to con thousands more into creating accounts)

me too!

Same happened to me.

It's bullsh!t
I've signed up using the link, they now have credit card details, an account (which removes any other offers for me as a new user) and £5 (which yes, I can withdraw but it's still not right!!!)
Calling them now - As I signed up via that link it should be available to me

How annoying that it lasted less than an hour! Is that normal for these type of offers?

​worst starts to a friday morning!

done........thanks op

​thanks for that just done that now can't possibly lose out :smiley:

It is annoying....but you can withdraw the money without making a bet it seems

managed to do it in time but said server was down but they took the quid out and it's my betting slips so screen shot it.

That is extremely annoying after depositing money.

Now sold out :disappointed:

​£2 on Russia to win, £2 on a draw

gives you a guaranteed return - £6.50 at worst case and £51 at best

Just keep it and withdraw the lot if they win

Offer is sold out.

Sold out, apparently.

5/1 is for England to score

Russia to win :laughing:

Now suspended, deal is 5/1.

saying "sold out" now

Deposited £5 once I click on the links provided it just takes me to ordinary Coral homepage. Any help please?

Correct, I just signed up.

My first bet ever. Knowing England they'll lose.

Any tips on what to wager the other £4 they forced me to deposit?

sam, cant find ofer after deposit.

My dad deposited £10 but now can't find the 50/1 offer? Any help?

I'm sure it's by email address

hi it says minimum deposit £5?

Think it'll be a draw but still placing the bet. Hopefully Vardy destroys them.

Also just to be sure as I've never bet before, this means that if England win tomorrow i get £50 plus my £1 bet returned? Seems too good to be true!

I can't see anything saying 50/1 I can see the promo page but how do I get the offer?

Deal! However, England have never won their opening Euro match, so I reckon Coral are going to do well :laughing:

Exactly the same for me. Another HUKD related server overload by the look of it. Good luck everyone.

Didn't work for me from the link, but Googled "England Russia 50/1 Coral" (no quotes) and found the correct link. Signed up, placed the bet (account now showing £1 down), but under 'My Bets' it says 'Pending Stake'. Expanding that out, I see an 'invalid date' message; I think they have the date and time wrong (it shows the game as being today at 5pm).

Went to register and it said 'you may already have an account' which I definitely don't.... Any ideas? Is it e-mail or home address linked?

Done, thanks OP and Chanchi for the link :smile:

Mine said server down, but, the balance has gone down by a £1 and the bet is within my bets. Screen shot to be sure!

Can't get it to work with Chrome but works with Internet Explorer :

OK, won't work with Firefox but works with Chrome.

Using web!!

Not a good way to try and get new customers to bet is it... seems like a con to get personal details

In store?

Why is it a big deal for people to have to prove their identity? I can prove mine so what's the issue?

said promo doesnt work on tablet, try mobile or desktop web

Same with me.

worked for me - heat added.

Works for me.

Still not working, just comes up with this from both links:

Not working still for me :disappointed:

server down for me too !

I made this bet and got a 'server is busy' message... my balance is down by £1 yet the bet is nowhere to be seen under 'my bets'

type in http://www.coral.co.uk/football

ta dear

No...

Gotta be in it to win it. They took my bet, though I thought they may not, as it was suggesting I already had an account, but I definitely recall asking them to close it after WC2014.

Russia will win! :stuck_out_tongue:

Promotion not available...

So just place the bet at 10/11 and they will enhance it to 50/1?

Basically.... You win £50 cash & then you will get the additional money paid out as a free bet depending on Englands price (10/11).

£1 pays out £50 cash.
£4 pays out £7.64 free bet.

I think....

excellent!! bet on!!

cannot see it on their site....where is it

FAQs
What markets does this offer apply to?
This offer only applies to the new customer ‘England to Win’ market shown upon registration and not any standard match markets.
When do I get my free bet?
Free Bets will be credited by 12:00 pm the day after settlement.
I placed my first £5 bet on the new customer exclusive offer, what should I get back?

Should your selection be settled as a winner, your winnings will be automatically paid to your account in cash after the settlement of the market.

So £50 almost guaranteed, but I'll have to send a scan of my passport/driving licence which will no doubt sit on some server somewhere for years, ready for some 'cyber attack' in future where an insider IT bod sells all that valuable I.D. data to someone on the dark web for a few Bitcoins.. :smirk:

Eh!? Same meaning, can't believe I'm even replying to that.

knowing coral as well as I do it will be worth checking whether its in free bets or not

Am I right in thinking you only win the enhanced odds on free bets? So not that great..

​ They're a joke, in fact, the whole KYC policy is.
They should be MADE to implement it from the get-go.
It's the reason I only use my Bet365 account, set it up before the policy came into effect.
Paddy won't let me cash out, Hill have poor odds in comparison.
Ladbrokes have too few markets.
I told Paddy, you were happy to take my money and if I deposit more, you'll take that.
But they say they want ID to cash out.
Took it to ibas.
Wish I hadn't bothered.
Cold from me, boycott sc*m bookies, hit em where it hurts.
Your comment should be stickied on every new customer bet deal imo.

All you have done to Quads statement is change "pay up" to "pay back" !!!
So it's not SO wrong!

I never gamble but this sounds like free money.

England have a good team, good players. The manager is suspect though. The team that worked for him was the one that he put out against Germany, he should have stuck with all those players.

Not worth it, if you win you've crossed the threshold where Coral will stop accepting your bets such is the ease with which they cut winning players off

If your selection wins, you will be paid in cash based on the normal price on site and will have your account topped up to reflect the enhanced price in free bets.

For newbies you will have to send proof of your identity. They wont pay up if you dont. They'll happily take your stake without proof though.

winning paid in free bets and the free bets can only put on singles did this last time they ran a promo 9/1 real to score champions league final

[quote=Quad]For newbies you will have to send proof of your identity. They wont pay up if you dont. They'll happily take your stake without proof though.[/quote

Standard. You can lose as much money as you want but if you win we have to know we're paying the right person, all in the name of fraud protection. Bizarre.

Any cashback on that?

That's a waste of a pound then.

Do you get the winnings in free bets or actual cash?

This will be one of the few betting deals that goes Hot. Well worth the look when it goes live.

Thanks op!

nice shout op hopefully i will remeber to check back later

ta OP - advert in the metro said the url will be http://www.coral.co.uk/football at 8am

nice.. i hope i remember ttmrr :smiley:

worth a look tomorrow

Believe it when I see the link I guess.

Don't think so, I did a similar bet to this during the World Cup 2014 with Coral and withdraw the winnings seconds after the bet was settled!

do you have to wager the £50 winnings a certain number of times before you can cash out ??
