About Coral Status & Downtime

Coral is a leading UK-focused bookmaker with a strong high street presence, serving millions of users across the UK and beyond. Founded in 1926 and headquartered in London, it offers sports betting, casino, slots, and lotto. Coral holds UKGC licence #39435.

Why is Coral down?

Coral outages typically occur during high-demand periods such as Grand National, Champions League nights, or Coral-sponsored racing events. The platform may also go down briefly for scheduled maintenance, usually during off-peak hours between 2am and 6am GMT.

Coral status monitor — a downdetector alternative for betting

Unlike general-purpose tools such as Downdetector, IsBetDown is built specifically for online betting. We monitor coral.co.uk from multiple server locations every 30 seconds, providing faster and more accurate status updates tailored to punters. We also check whether the issue is on Coral's side or caused by wider infrastructure problems (Cloudflare, AWS, Akamai), giving you the full picture in seconds.

What should I do if I've placed a bet and Coral goes down?

If you have placed a bet before an outage, there is generally no need to worry. Your bet is recorded on Coral's servers and will be settled as normal once the service is restored. Under UKGC regulations, licensed operators must honour all confirmed bets regardless of technical issues.

However, if you were in the middle of placing a bet or using a cash-out feature when the site went down, the transaction may not have completed. In that case, check your bet history once Coral is back online. If there is any discrepancy, contact Coral's customer support and reference your bet slip or confirmation number.

Can I still cash out my bet if Coral is down?

Unfortunately, no. Cash-out requires a live connection to Coral's servers to calculate and process the current offer. During an outage, this feature is unavailable. If you are concerned about a live bet, note the current score and odds — once the site is restored, cash-out will become available again (provided the event is still in play).

Is Coral down just for me?

Sometimes what appears to be a Coral outage might be a local issue. If our monitor shows Coral as operational but you cannot access it, try these steps: clear your browser cache, switch to a different browser or device, try disabling your VPN (some bookmakers block VPN traffic), check your internet connection, or try accessing coral.co.uk from mobile data instead of Wi-Fi.

How long do Coral outages usually last?

Most Coral outages are resolved within 15 to 30 minutes. Scheduled maintenance windows are typically brief. However, during major incidents (DNS failures, CDN outages affecting multiple sites), downtime can extend to several hours. We display real-time infrastructure status above so you can see if the problem is wider than just Coral.

Coral alternatives while it's down

If Coral is experiencing an outage and you need to place a bet urgently, consider using one of the UKGC-licensed alternative bookmakers listed above. All alternatives hold valid UK Gambling Commission licences and are monitored in real-time on IsBetDown. Remember to gamble responsibly — never chase losses due to frustration with a site outage.
