We advise all our customers to ensure they fully understand the Rules prior to placing a bet with us. The most up to date version of the Rules can be obtained on our Website, or by contacting our Customer Care Department.
Changes to the Rules
Minimum Age
You must be at least 18 years of age to enter a betting shop, regardless of whether or not you then choose to gamble. In our shops we operate a Think 21 policy and those customers who appear to be under the age of 21 will be asked to produce photographic confirmation of their age. Failure to do so will result in staff refusing entry.
Warranties
By placing a bet with us you warrant that you:
Greyhound Racing
Football
Sports Betting
Non-Sports Betting
Machines
3.2 Advertised race times, runners, returns and the results determine bet settlement, with errors and omissions excepted. Reference will be made to the Racing Post programme of races for ‘Through the Card’ type instructions, as it will for first Race, Last Race etc instructions.
3.3 Bets are settled in accordance with the bet specific rules. If a bet is inadvertently accepted with any prices not written by, or endorsed by our staff, the prices will stand providing they are clearly written and were available and correct at the time of bet placement through our EPOS (till) system. Otherwise, settlement will be made at the applicable price available with Coral (whether greater or shorter). This also covers prices applied by a member of the shop team.
Where no price is available at the time of bet placement, Coral reserves the right to settle Horse and Greyhound bets at SP and sports/special events bets at the next available price.
Please note: ‘Bar’ prices cannot be taken, nor instructions such as ‘First Show’ accepted, prior to the transmission of a show of betting for that race. Any such bets taken in error will be settled at SP.
3.4 Where a result is amended after the weigh-in, for example, as the result of a successful appeal, the amendment will be ignored for settlement purposes. Where a horse is withdrawn not under starters orders but is still returned Favourite (i.e. no new market is formed), then bets on that Favourite are void. Bets will not transfer to the second Favourite.
3.5 Occasionally special betting opportunities may be available and clarification of any rule not covered in this document may be issued by means of a Press Announcement, via Coral TV and in-shop posters. Where this occurs these should be read as forming part of the Coral rules.
3.6 Coral reserve the right to refuse payment on any bet where the selection and/or instructions cannot be substantiated on our EPoS (till) system.
Bets placed via the Self-Service Betting Terminals are subject to the rules displayed on the terminal itself which may include differences to the above each-way terms (see Section 64 for further details).
4.1 ADDITIONAL RULES
5.1 If a bet made up of doubles, trebles etc. is accepted in error at the individual event prices, the bet will be settled at the combined price available at the time the bet was placed. If a combined price was not available, the stake will be divided equally as singles at the individual event prices available at the time the bet was placed. If a combined price was taken for the same selection in two races/events and the selection does not take part in one of them, the bet will be settled as follows:
6.2 A similar rule applies to the place part of a bet where as a result of a dead heat more than the required number of selections are placed.
When betting on golf, please be aware that a dead heat is effectively covering two places. (For example: if golfer A wins the tournament with a score of 10 under par, and the next two golfers (golfers B and C) finish on 9 under par, they will have tied for 2nd and 3rd place. This means that the next best score after golfers B and C will have finished in 4th place. Bets placed on golfers B and C will be paid at full place odds).
However, if there is a dead heat for the final officially recognised placed position, which would generally be 5th place, and the terms were 1/4 the odds for the first five places, dead heat rules will apply. For example: Player A wins the tournament, Player B finishes 2nd and Player C finishes 3rd. There is a tie for 4th place between players D, E and F. Any Each Way bets on players D, E and F will be split equally (ie: 1/3 of the stake on each)
7.3 The following deductions are made to each £1 won and relate to the price of the withdrawn horse at the time the bet was struck (when a Coral price has been applied). However, if two or more horses are withdrawn before coming under Starter’s Orders, the total deduction will be the sum of the individual deductions, up to a maximum of 90p per £1 won. If a single 5p Rule 4 deduction applies to any one betting show or the SP market in the UK or Ireland we will waive it. If the total Rule 4 deductions exceed 5p, then all deductions will be applied. If a Rule 4 applies to a price which falls between the Rule 4 scale listed below, then the lower deduction will always apply, e.g. if the price of the withdrawn horse at the time of bet acceptance was 23/10, then the Rule 4 deduction applied will be 25p.
7.4. If a player or team has taken any part in a sporting event once it has officially started, but fails to complete the event for whatever reason, the bet will be settled as a loser.
7.5 If a player or team listed subsequently withdraws from a sports event, Coral reserves the right to apply a ‘Rule 4 (c)’ equivalent scale of deduction to any bets placed after the time the withdrawal has been announced.
8.2 If the official ‘off time’ of a race or event is not announced, bets are accepted up to the advertised start time only. Any bet that is inadvertently accepted after this time will be void unless the bet was placed before the actual start of the event.
8.3 For numbers betting the following applies:
10.2 If there is evidence of price rigging in Horse or Greyhound racing Coral may decide to settle bets at SP or make the bets void.
10.3 If there is evidence of rigging or of a series of bets each containing the same selection(s) of bets placed by or for the same individual, or syndicate of individuals, Coral reserves the right to require payment claims to be submitted, in writing, to our Customer Care team.
11.3 The following Ante Post rules refer to the placement of a bet in relation to ‘competitive action’:
ALL ANTE-POST BETS PLACED BEFORE FINAL DECLARATION STAGE
Bets will stand if the race is run on a later date at the same venue.
ALL BETS PLACED AFTER FINAL DECLARATION STAGE
If a bet is placed after the final declarations, but the race is postponed to another day, all bets will be void.
Unless advertised differently Ante Post bets will be declared void in the following circumstances:
11.7 Ante Post bets are accepted only at the price quoted at the time the bet was placed. Bets will not be accepted at accumulative odds on the same horse to win two or more races. However, on request special odds may be offered for a horse to win two or more races but if the selection does not run in at least one of the races, the bet will be regarded as a loser.
11.8 If no price has been written on the slip for an Ante Post selection, the bet will be settled at the price and place terms applicable at the time of acceptance. The bet will be regarded as an Ante Post bet and will be settled on an ‘all in-run or not’ basis.
11.9 In circumstances where no price has been taken for an Ante Post bet but SP has been clearly written on the slip, the bet will be settled at SP. Stakes will be refunded if the selection is a non-runner.
Where settlement of a bet is not specifically covered by the terms below, the stake will be divided equally over all the selections stated as win singles. The bet will be void if there is material information missing from it, or if it contains mistakes which make it impossible to settle using our Rules.
12.1 INCORRECT TIMINGS
If the selection is doubly-engaged (ie: entered in two races on the same day) the bet is considered to be for the first race in which the selection runs, after the bet was placed. If two selections are included in an Accumulator or multiple bet and one selection is doubly-engaged, the selection which is doubly engaged will be automatically timed for the race in which does not clash with other entries in the bet.
12.2 INCORRECT INSTRUCTIONS
13.1 TIME OF THE SELECTION STATED BUT NO MEETING
13.2 NO TIME/INCORRECT TIME AND NO MEETING STATED
13.3 NO TIME/INCORRECT TIME AND THE MEETING NAMED IS NOT TAKING PLACE
13.4 NO TIME STATED BUT MEETING NAMED
13.5 INCORRECT TIME BUT MEETING NAMED
13.6 TIME AND MEETING STATED FOR A RACE THAT HAS ALREADY TAKEN PLACE
13.7 PRICE TAKEN IDENTIFIES THE INTENDED RACE
13.8 ‘THROUGH-THE-CARD’ (TTC) STATED BUT NO MEETING NAMED
13.9 GREYHOUND RACE INSTRUCTIONS WHICH CAN APPLY TO DIFFERENT RACES
14.2 Specific rules relating to postponements and abandonment’s will be incorporated within the individual sporting rules. If a bet outcome has already been decided prior to an abandonment or postponement, generally a bet will not be considered void (eg: 1st goal scorer bets will stand if a goal has already been scored).
14.3 If a bet is placed after the final declarations, but the race is postponed to another day, all bets will be void.
14.4 If one or more event(s) is postponed and/or abandoned in an Accumulator Ante Post bet, these event(s) will be considered void. The stake will be transferred to the remaining selections in the bet with the odds adjusted to the odds on the rearranged bet, at the time the original bet was placed (eg: reducing a Treble to a Double or a Double to a Single etc).
17.2 See Section 54 onwards for full Lotto Rules
All bets placed on UK and Irish horse racing will be settled on ‘First Past the Post’ and the official result. This offer applies to all bets, win and each-way. There is no restriction on staking, and payouts are subject to our advertised payout limits. The exceptions where ‘First Past the Post’ does not apply and bets are only settled according to the official result are:
In the case of Football and other Sports, bets are settled on the first result published by the official source/governing body or alternatively the official website of the relevant event, immediately after the match/event is finished. Any subsequent corrections or amendments to this result will not apply for settlement purposes. If the result is not immediately available from the official source/ governing body or the official website of the relevant event, or there is significant evidence that the official source/governing body or official website is incorrect, we will use independent sources such as the Press Association to decide settlement. In the absence of any consistent, independent evidence or in the presence of significant conflicting evidence, bets will be settled based on our own statistics.
19.1.2 Speciality Bets
The ‘First Past the Post’ concession does not apply to Daily Challenge bets (including Jockey Challenges, Tipster Challenges, Meeting Challenges, Match bets, Aggregate Winning Distances and Winning Distance specials). In the event of a ‘revised result’, unless otherwise stated, all Daily Challenge bets will be settled according to only the official result on the day of the race, with the exception of Aggregate Winning Distance bets and Winning Distance special bets which will be settled as per the distance betting rules (see Sections 19.16, 19.17).
19.2 HOT SHOW DOUBLES
19.3 BETTING WITHOUT FAVOURITE
19.4 FAVOURITES
In any race, Favourites will be qualified as follows:
19.5 WITHDRAWN FAVOURITE
Where a horse is withdrawn not under starters orders but is still returned Favourite (i.e. no new market is formed), then bets on that Favourite are void. Bets WILL NOT transfer on to the next shortest price horse. Where a horse comes under starter’s orders but refuses to run, this will be classed as a runner and all bets on that selection will be deemed losers.
19.6 JOINT FAVOURITES
By using the term ‘Favourite’, ‘Second Favourite’ or ‘Third Favourite’, to indicate selections, the stake will be invested on the horse as defined above. If two or more horses, both of whom are Favourites, are selected the stake will be divided and invested equally amongst each of the selected horses. However, if these joint favourites are returned at a price whereby, irrespective of result, the customer could not secure a profit, the Unnamed Favourite will be regarded as a non-runner.
19.7 SP & EACH WAY BETS
SP bets for Unnamed Favourites and/or 2nd or 3rd Unnamed Favourites are accepted as Win only. If Each Way is taken in error, bets will be settled all up to win.
19.8 CONDITIONAL BETS (‘ANY TO COME’ or ‘IF CASH’ BETS)
19.9 EARLY PRICE BETTING
An ‘Early Price’ bet is defined as a bet struck with a Coral price taken after the final declarations for the race have been made and before the first live Coral traded or racecourse show offered is displayed. Early Price bets are accepted on the following basis:

19.13 COUPLING
In some countries horses with the same owner or trainer may be coupled. When betting on coupled horses (PMU/Tote betting), you are on each of the coupled horse for settlement purposes. The rules differ from country to country in terms of whether settlement applies to Win or Each Way bets. Please see below or ask our staff for details. Bets struck at Coral Show prices, Coral SP’s, Industry prices or Industry SP’s are not affected by the Coupling rules.

If a Trap number is selected then the bet will be settled on the trap regardless of whether or not a reserve is running. However if a price is taken, this price relates to a specific greyhound and if that greyhound has become a non-runner, the bet will be void and the stake will be refunded.

2. MAXIMUM PAYMENTS
Unless otherwise stipulated on the product itself (e.g. football coupon etc), the maximum daily payout on any bet, or bets, including Ante Post’ is as detailed below. The maximum payout limits apply to individual events. The limits below refer to the total return on the bet, excluding the original stake. If a multiple bet has been placed which involves events with different maximum payout limits, the lowest limit will apply. All maximum payout limits apply to any one customer, or group of customers acting together, who have backed the same combination of selections, including where placed in a series of bets, at a range of prices, over a number of days using different betting accounts and/or across different betting channels. Should we have reason to believe that a number of bets have been placed this way, the total payment of all those bets combined will be limited to one single maximum payout. Coral shall not be liable for any loss of profits, loss of anticipated savings, loss of goods, or any special, indirect, consequential or pure economic loss, costs, damages, charges or expenses.

3. ACCEPTANCE & SETTLEMENT OF BETS
3.1 If a bet is placed detailing the race card order (ie: 1st race, 2nd race, etc.) the race order will be verified as per the Racing Post programme of races, with allowances made for obvious printing errors.3.2 Advertised race times, runners, returns and the results determine bet settlement, with errors and omissions excepted. Reference will be made to the Racing Post programme of races for ‘Through the Card’ type instructions, as it will for first Race, Last Race etc instructions.
3.3 Bets are settled in accordance with the bet specific rules. If a bet is inadvertently accepted with any prices not written by, or endorsed by our staff, the prices will stand providing they are clearly written and were available and correct at the time of bet placement through our EPOS (till) system. Otherwise, settlement will be made at the applicable price available with Coral (whether greater or shorter). This also covers prices applied by a member of the shop team.
Where no price is available at the time of bet placement, Coral reserves the right to settle Horse and Greyhound bets at SP and sports/special events bets at the next available price.
Please note: ‘Bar’ prices cannot be taken, nor instructions such as ‘First Show’ accepted, prior to the transmission of a show of betting for that race. Any such bets taken in error will be settled at SP.
3.4 Where a result is amended after the weigh-in, for example, as the result of a successful appeal, the amendment will be ignored for settlement purposes. Where a horse is withdrawn not under starters orders but is still returned Favourite (i.e. no new market is formed), then bets on that Favourite are void. Bets will not transfer to the second Favourite.
3.5 Occasionally special betting opportunities may be available and clarification of any rule not covered in this document may be issued by means of a Press Announcement, via Coral TV and in-shop posters. Where this occurs these should be read as forming part of the Coral rules.
3.6 Coral reserve the right to refuse payment on any bet where the selection and/or instructions cannot be substantiated on our EPoS (till) system.
4. EACH WAY BETTING
For all horse and greyhound races (including Virtual racing), Each-Way terms apply to the actual number of runners taking part. Unless otherwise stated the place part of Each-Way bets will be settled as per the following standard place terms:- Handicap races with 16 or more runners = 1/4 odds first 4 places
- Handicap races with 12 to 15 runners = 1/4 odds first 3 places
- All other races with 8 or more runners = 1/5 odds first 3 places
- All races with 5 to 7 runners = 1/4 odds first 2 places
- All races with 2 to 4 runners = Settled as full stake to win
Bets placed via the Self-Service Betting Terminals are subject to the rules displayed on the terminal itself which may include differences to the above each-way terms (see Section 64 for further details).
- For the purposes of calculation, Each-Way Doubles, Trebles and Accumulators are settled ‘win to win and place to place’ unless the instruction ‘Each-Way all Each-Way’ or ‘Equally Divided’ is clearly specified on the betting slip.
4.1 ADDITIONAL RULES
- If bets are struck after the final declarations, the applicable place terms are determined by the number of actual runners rather than the number of declared runners.
- For Ante Post bets the place terms available at the time the bet was struck will stand regardless of the number of actual runners.
5. RELATED CONTINGENCIES
Related contingencies refer to the betting scenario where, in multiple bet, the outcome of one part of a bet contributes to the outcome of another.5.1 If a bet made up of doubles, trebles etc. is accepted in error at the individual event prices, the bet will be settled at the combined price available at the time the bet was placed. If a combined price was not available, the stake will be divided equally as singles at the individual event prices available at the time the bet was placed. If a combined price was taken for the same selection in two races/events and the selection does not take part in one of them, the bet will be settled as follows:
- If the bet was placed before the ‘day of event’ for both races/events, our normal Ante Post rules apply. This means that if the selection does not take part in one of the races/events the bet will be settled as a loser. This applies even if the selection has been successful in the other race/event (normal Ante Post rules apply).
- If the bet was placed on the ‘day of event’ for one of the races/events and the ‘day of event’ selection does not take part, this will be treated as a non-runner and the bet will become a single for the remaining race/event. The bet will then be settled based on the price and place terms available at the time the bet was placed.
6. DEAD HEATS
6.1 In a dead heat for 1st place the stake money on a winning selection is divided by the number of winners in a dead heat. The full odds will be paid to the divided stake, with the remainder of the stake money being lost. (ie: £10 bet at 6/1 on a horse that dead heats with one other horse for first place is paid at the rate of £5 at 6/1, giving a total return of £35.)6.2 A similar rule applies to the place part of a bet where as a result of a dead heat more than the required number of selections are placed.
When betting on golf, please be aware that a dead heat is effectively covering two places. (For example: if golfer A wins the tournament with a score of 10 under par, and the next two golfers (golfers B and C) finish on 9 under par, they will have tied for 2nd and 3rd place. This means that the next best score after golfers B and C will have finished in 4th place. Bets placed on golfers B and C will be paid at full place odds).
However, if there is a dead heat for the final officially recognised placed position, which would generally be 5th place, and the terms were 1/4 the odds for the first five places, dead heat rules will apply. For example: Player A wins the tournament, Player B finishes 2nd and Player C finishes 3rd. There is a tie for 4th place between players D, E and F. Any Each Way bets on players D, E and F will be split equally (ie: 1/3 of the stake on each)
7. NON-RUNNERS/VOID SELECTIONS
7.1 Unless a bet has been placed under Ante Post terms, when a selection is made void or does not run, the following rules apply:- In Single bets the stakes will be returned.
- In Accumulator bets the stake will run on to the remaining selection(s), with a Double becoming a Single, a Treble becoming Double etc.
- Unless a specific reference is made in the section relevant to the particular sport, an abandoned or postponed event/match will be deemed void unless it is re-arranged and played within 48 hours of the original start time.
- If a market has already been settled at the time of abandonment (ie: First Goal scorer), the bet will stand.
- Any bet accepted in error that is contrary to the provisions as stated above, will be void even if a valid printed receipt has been issued.
7.3 The following deductions are made to each £1 won and relate to the price of the withdrawn horse at the time the bet was struck (when a Coral price has been applied). However, if two or more horses are withdrawn before coming under Starter’s Orders, the total deduction will be the sum of the individual deductions, up to a maximum of 90p per £1 won. If a single 5p Rule 4 deduction applies to any one betting show or the SP market in the UK or Ireland we will waive it. If the total Rule 4 deductions exceed 5p, then all deductions will be applied. If a Rule 4 applies to a price which falls between the Rule 4 scale listed below, then the lower deduction will always apply, e.g. if the price of the withdrawn horse at the time of bet acceptance was 23/10, then the Rule 4 deduction applied will be 25p.
| Price Range | Rule 4 Deduction |
| 1/9 or shorter | 90p |
| 2/11 to 2/17 | 85p |
| 1/4 to 1/5 | 80p |
| 3/10 to 2/7 | 75p |
| 2/5 to 1/3 | 70p |
| 8/15 to 4/9 | 65p |
| 8/13 to 4/7 | 60p |
| 4/5 to 4/6 | 55p |
| 20/21 to 5/6 | 50p |
| Evens to 6/5 | 45p |
| 5/4 to 6/4 | 40p |
| 8/5 to 7/4 | 35p |
| 9/5 to 9/4 | 30p |
| 12/5 to 3/1 | 25p |
| 16/5 to 4/1 | 20p |
| 9/2 to 11/2 | 15p |
| 6/1 to 9/1 | 10p |
| 10/1 to 14/1 | 5p |
| Over 14/1 | No deduction |
7.4. If a player or team has taken any part in a sporting event once it has officially started, but fails to complete the event for whatever reason, the bet will be settled as a loser.
7.5 If a player or team listed subsequently withdraws from a sports event, Coral reserves the right to apply a ‘Rule 4 (c)’ equivalent scale of deduction to any bets placed after the time the withdrawal has been announced.
8. TIME OF ACCEPTANCE
8.1 Bets can only be placed on the outcome of a future event or race. If Coral mistakenly accepts a bet for an event or race that has already started then the bet will be void and your stake returned, except in the following circumstances. In the case of horse races, if a bet is taken after the start of an event it will still be valid if it is placed before the automatic “no more bets time” recorded by our EPOS system. For horse races the following “no more bets times” will apply after the start depending on the race distance:- 6 Furlongs 200 yards and under - 5 seconds;
- 6 Furlongs 201 yards up to 1 mile - 10 seconds;
- Over 1 mile up to 1 mile & 7 furlongs - 15 seconds;
- Over 1 mile & 7 furlongs - 20 seconds.
8.2 If the official ‘off time’ of a race or event is not announced, bets are accepted up to the advertised start time only. Any bet that is inadvertently accepted after this time will be void unless the bet was placed before the actual start of the event.
8.3 For numbers betting the following applies:
- Bets are accepted on all Lotto draws until a “no more bets” message is given. Bets accepted after this message will be void unless it can be confirmed that the bet was accepted prior to the draw actually starting
- 49s/Rapido and Virtual Events – the “no more bets time” is equal to the actual off time of the event.
9. BETTING IN PLAY
Whilst every effort is made to ensure that the prices quoted are correct, the nature of live betting (ie: constantly changing prices) means that, on occasions, the price may have already changed by the time the bet is placed. Where this occurs or, if for any reason the in shop system encounters transmission difficulties (ie: screen freezes), we will apply the price that was on offer when the bet was placed.10. RIGGING
10.1 If there is evidence of price, race, match or event rigging, Coral reserves the right to make bets void or withhold bet settlement pending the outcome of any subsequent investigation.10.2 If there is evidence of price rigging in Horse or Greyhound racing Coral may decide to settle bets at SP or make the bets void.
10.3 If there is evidence of rigging or of a series of bets each containing the same selection(s) of bets placed by or for the same individual, or syndicate of individuals, Coral reserves the right to require payment claims to be submitted, in writing, to our Customer Care team.
11. ANTE POST BETTING
11.1 Ante Post prices are available on the following sports/events except where stated in the individual sports rules below:- Horse racing prior to the final declaration stage.
- Greyhound events up to and including the semi-final stage. However, if any bets are placed after the semi-finals (eg: Greyhound Derby), or on a single race event and a price has been taken, if there is a subsequent non-runner all bets will be settled at SP and bets on the withdrawn greyhound will be void.
- Sports events (eg: Premier League, World Cup etc.) prior to the start of an event, with the exception of bets on a match, single race event or an individual heat/stage.
- All special non-sporting events (ie: Reality TV)
11.3 The following Ante Post rules refer to the placement of a bet in relation to ‘competitive action’:
- Bets placed after the start of a sports event are not classed as being Ante Post.
- The start of an event is defined as the first time there is any competitive action unless a specific reference is made in the rules for a particular sport.
- Stakes will be refunded on participants/teams who take no further part after the bet is placed, unless they have been eliminated by competition rules.
- Stakes are lost on participants or teams who start an event and then withdraw or default.
- In total tournament/series markets (eg: top series wicket taker, winner of the golden boot etc.) individuals named in the team squad will be considered to have participated whether or not they have taken part in any competitive action.
- Ante Post Each Way Doubles, Trebles etc. are settled ‘win to win, place to place’.
- If no price has been written on the slip for an Ante Post selection, the bet will be settled at the price and place terms applicable at the time of acceptance. The bet will be regarded as an Ante Post bet and will be settled on an ‘all in-run or not’ basis.
- Place Only and Forecast bets are not accepted at Ante Post odds. If taken in error, place only bets will be void. Forecast bets will be settled on the Computer Straight Forecast (CSF).
- Where the same selection is backed to win two or more Ante Post events (ie: a horse to win a Derby trial and the Derby) in an Accumulator bet, a special combined price will apply irrespective of any individual prices quoted. Where no special combined price is available, settlement will be based on the first available odds after each leg has been completed.
- Lucky 15/31/63 and other special bets are not available at Ante Post odds. Any taken in error will remain valid but for settlement purposes the consolation bonus will not apply.
ALL ANTE-POST BETS PLACED BEFORE FINAL DECLARATION STAGE
Bets will stand if the race is run on a later date at the same venue.
ALL BETS PLACED AFTER FINAL DECLARATION STAGE
If a bet is placed after the final declarations, but the race is postponed to another day, all bets will be void.
Unless advertised differently Ante Post bets will be declared void in the following circumstances:
- The race is abandoned and does not take place at a later date at the same track.
- The race is declared void.
- The race is moved to a different track.
- The selection is balloted out.
- The selection was ineligible for the race at the time the bet was struck (ie: if after all entry stages have been closed, a bet has been struck on a runner who is not in the list of entries).
- It is not possible for the selection to win at the time the bet was struck (eg: the horse is dead).
- The Ante Post bet is offered ‘with a run’ which is a specific Ante Post bet where stakes are not lost on a horse which does not run.
11.7 Ante Post bets are accepted only at the price quoted at the time the bet was placed. Bets will not be accepted at accumulative odds on the same horse to win two or more races. However, on request special odds may be offered for a horse to win two or more races but if the selection does not run in at least one of the races, the bet will be regarded as a loser.
11.8 If no price has been written on the slip for an Ante Post selection, the bet will be settled at the price and place terms applicable at the time of acceptance. The bet will be regarded as an Ante Post bet and will be settled on an ‘all in-run or not’ basis.
11.9 In circumstances where no price has been taken for an Ante Post bet but SP has been clearly written on the slip, the bet will be settled at SP. Stakes will be refunded if the selection is a non-runner.
12. INCORRECT SPELLING, PRICING, STAKING & AMBIGUOUS BET INSTRUCTIONS
Where settlement of a bet is not specifically covered by the terms below, the stake will be divided equally over all the selections stated as win singles. The bet will be void if there is material information missing from it, or if it contains mistakes which make it impossible to settle using our Rules.
12.1 INCORRECT TIMINGS
If the selection is doubly-engaged (ie: entered in two races on the same day) the bet is considered to be for the first race in which the selection runs, after the bet was placed. If two selections are included in an Accumulator or multiple bet and one selection is doubly-engaged, the selection which is doubly engaged will be automatically timed for the race in which does not clash with other entries in the bet.
12.2 INCORRECT INSTRUCTIONS
- Providing the selection could only possibly refer to one runner, the bet will stand.
- If the selection appears to combine the names of two or more runners, and if Coral are unable to distinguish between two selections with similar names, in the same race, the stakes will be split.
- If the first word(s) or letter(s) do not uniquely define a selection, the race time will be referred to.
- In all other instances, not described above, the selection will be void.
- Where a selection (name or number) has a price assigned, which was never available, the selection will take precedence for selection purposes irrespective of the race time/meeting written on the betting slip.
- If a bet type has a fixed number of selections (eg: Lucky 15, Yankee etc), but too few selections have been selected, a non-runner(s) will be added. For example, a £1 Yankee with three selections will have one non-runner added to the three selections. This bet will not be considered as overstaked.
- If a bet type has a fixed number of selections, (eg: Lucky 15, Yankee etc), but too many selections have been, the stake paid will be proportioned over the required number of selections for the applicable bet type. For example, if a Yankee is stipulated with a total of 11 bets but 5 selections, settlement will be for 11/26ths of the total returns from a ‘Super Yankee’. If the bet type does not have a fixed number of selections or is of unequal stakes, the bet will be considered understaked /overstaked. The stake will be proportioned over the whole slip.
- If bet instructions indicate a ‘through the card’ bet and the stake invested is for fewer races than there are on the programme, the stake will be apportioned to cover all races. Similarly, if the stake invested is for more races than scheduled, the stake will be apportioned over the correct number of races.
- In multiple bets where two or more selections run in the same race, stakes will be equally divided where the selections clash subject to Section 3.1. For example:
- £2 Double – Workforce (2.00 Epsom) and See The Stars (2.00 Epsom) would be settled as 2 x £1 Singles on each horse.
- In a Treble where two of the selections are in the same race, the stake will be split equally into two doubles. For example: a £2 Treble on Workforce (2.00 Epsom), See the Stars (2.00 Epsom) and New Approach (2.30 Epsom) would be settled as:
- £1 Double on Workforce (2.00 Epsom) and New Approach (2.30 Epsom).
- £1 Double on See the Stars (2.00 Epsom) and New Approach (2.30 Epsom).
- If the same selection is nominated twice, all bets will be settled as instructed with one of the duplicated selections becoming a non-runner.
- If a slip has been understaked, the total returns from the whole of the slip will relate to the amount actually paid and calculated accordingly (ie: the return will be multiplied by the amount paid and divided by the amount that should have been paid).
- If a slip has been overstaked, the total returns from the whole of the slip will relate to the amount actually paid and calculated accordingly, thereby increasing any return due (ie: the return will be multiplied by the amount paid and divided by the amount that should have been paid). No overstaking will be returned.
- If there is only one selection on the slip and the stake unit does not correspond to the total amount paid, the total amount paid will determine the stake (eg: a £5 win with a total stake of £10 will be settled as a £10 win. Whereas a £5 Each Way with a total stake of £20 will be settled as a £10 Each Way).
- If the meeting and/or time but no selection is specified, the bet will be settled on the Favourite in the race. In the event of Joint or Co-Favourites the stake will be split equally.
- If no instructions are stated against a single selection the bet will be settled as a win Single. However, if two or more selections are involved the bet will be settled as a win Accumulator bet (eg: if there are three selections nominated with a stake of £1, it will be settled as a £1 win Treble. If there are four selections nominated with the instructions £1 win Treble, and a total stake of £1, it will be settled as a £1 win Fourfold).
- If a horse or greyhound selection is written, detailing both name and number and the two do not correspond, the name will take precedence over the number.
- Where a price has been taken on a numbered horse selection or trap number and there can be no doubt as to the race on which the price was available when the bet was accepted, then the bet will be settled for that race, irrespective of the race time/meeting written on the slip. Where a price has been taken on a selection that is ambiguous, the price will be used to help determine the selection.
- Where the bet instructions are for a Forecast Single and there is only one selection written on the slip, it will be settled as a win Single. Where instructions are for a Forecast and the two selections are in different races, the bet will be settled as a win Double if a Straight Forecast is requested and an Each Way double if a Reversed Forecast is requested.
- One, two or any number of crosses is taken to mean ‘Single Stakes About’, which essentially means that if a bet wins on one race the stake for the next race is deducted from the winnings of the previous bet. If ‘double stakes about’ is required, this must be clearly written on the betting slip. If both selections are in the same race, the ‘any-to-come’ instruction will be ignored.
- Where an incorrect range for a stats bet is included, the bet will stand for the correct range available for the bet requested (eg: if a market of over 90 points is advertised and a bet is accepted nominating over 80 points, the bet will be settled on the market over 90 points).
- Where there is a line drawn line on a betting slip, this will be deemed to separate one bet from another bet on the same slip.
13. ERROR REGARDING THE MEETING OR RACE TIME
If racecard numbers, trap numbers or terms such as ‘Favourite’ have been stated on the betting slip, but it is not clear which race is intended, the following rules will apply:13.1 TIME OF THE SELECTION STATED BUT NO MEETING
- All single and multiple bets will stand for the meeting which does have a race at the time stated. The stake will be divided equally if there is more than one meeting with a race at that time.
- Time stated for a meeting that is not taking place – Bets will stand on the time stated. The stake will be divided equally if there is more than one meeting with a race at that time. If there is no race at that time, the bet will be void.
13.2 NO TIME/INCORRECT TIME AND NO MEETING STATED
- If the bet is a single (including Forecasts, Tricasts etc), it will stand for the next horse, greyhound or virtual race to go off (up to the official off time), which is covered by our Full Service, unless the word ‘Trap’ or ‘T’ indicates that a greyhound race was intended, or unless the selection makes it clear which race was intended.
- If there is more than one race taking place at the same time then the stake will be divided accordingly. In multiple bets the selection will be void.
13.3 NO TIME/INCORRECT TIME AND THE MEETING NAMED IS NOT TAKING PLACE
- If the named horse or greyhound meeting is not taking place, the bet will be settled on the next race to run according to the type of meeting named. In multiple bets, the selection will be void.
13.4 NO TIME STATED BUT MEETING NAMED
- If no time is stated but the meeting is named, all single bets will be settled on the next race to run at the meeting named. In multiple bets the selection will be void unless the sequence of selections detailed on the slip makes the intended time clear.
13.5 INCORRECT TIME BUT MEETING NAMED
- If the meeting named does not have a race at the time stated, all single bets (including Forecasts, Tricasts, etc) will be settled on the meeting which does have a race at the time stated.
- The stake will be divided equally if there is more than one meeting with a race at that time.
- If there is no meeting with a race at the time stated, all single bets will be settled on the next race to run at the meeting named.
- In multiple bets, the selection will be settled on the meeting which does have a race at the time stated.
- If there is more than one meeting with a race at that time, the selection(s) will be void.
- If there is no meeting with a race at that time, the selection will be void. This applies unless the sequence of selections detailed on the slip make it clear which time was intended.
13.6 TIME AND MEETING STATED FOR A RACE THAT HAS ALREADY TAKEN PLACE
- If the correct time and meeting is stated, but the race has already taken place, the selection will be void.
13.7 PRICE TAKEN IDENTIFIES THE INTENDED RACE
- If a price on a numbered selection has been taken and the selection and race on which that price was available when the bet was placed can be identified, the bet will stand for that race. This applies irrespective of the race time detailed on the betting slip.
- In the case of single bets if there is more than one race for which the numbered selection and price can be identified, the stake will be divided accordingly.
- For multiple bets the selection will be void unless the sequence of selections makes it clear which race was intended.
13.8 ‘THROUGH-THE-CARD’ (TTC) STATED BUT NO MEETING NAMED
- If the numbered selections stated can be applied to greyhound racing, the bet will be settled on the next meeting due to take place on the full schedule after the bet was accepted.
- If no meetings are due to take place on the full schedule, or have already started, the bet will be void.
13.9 GREYHOUND RACE INSTRUCTIONS WHICH CAN APPLY TO DIFFERENT RACES
- Where instructions such as ‘Last Ten Races’, ‘First Four Races’, or ‘Through The Card’ are detailed on the betting slip, bets will be settled as instructed, even if this involves races outside the full schedule.
- This applies unless the staking or time the bet was placed suggests that the bet was intended to only apply to races on the full schedule e.g. if a meeting on the full schedule consists of 10 races and four further races, a ‘Through The Card’ bet which is staked for 10 races will be settled on the full schedule races only.
14. POSTPONEMENTS, CANCELLATIONS AND ABANDONMENTS
14.1 If a race is postponed and run later the same day (ie: before or at 23.59 on the same day in the time zone in which the race is taking place), all bets placed prior to the announced postponement will stand for the re-arranged time.14.2 Specific rules relating to postponements and abandonment’s will be incorporated within the individual sporting rules. If a bet outcome has already been decided prior to an abandonment or postponement, generally a bet will not be considered void (eg: 1st goal scorer bets will stand if a goal has already been scored).
14.3 If a bet is placed after the final declarations, but the race is postponed to another day, all bets will be void.
14.4 If one or more event(s) is postponed and/or abandoned in an Accumulator Ante Post bet, these event(s) will be considered void. The stake will be transferred to the remaining selections in the bet with the odds adjusted to the odds on the rearranged bet, at the time the original bet was placed (eg: reducing a Treble to a Double or a Double to a Single etc).
15. CHANGE OF VENUE
- If a home teams’ ground is changed to a neutral ground or a previously stated neutral ground is changed to a particular side’s home ground, all bets placed are still valid.
- Bets will only be void if the home and away team names are erroneously stated in reverse or if the match is switched from the original home side to the original away teams’ ground.
16. NO STARTING PRICE ("SP") RETURNED
- In circumstances where no SP has not been returned for a horse race, other forms of the official returns will be reviewed in order to make a decision on the SP against which bets will be settled.
- If there is no SP returned in a greyhound race, all bets on that race will be void.
17. LOTTERY BETS
17.1 Bets are accepted on the outcome of selected Lottos as advertised in shop (for example Irish, Spanish, New York Lottos and 49’s). Bets are not accepted on the UK Lotto or EuroMillions. Bets on Lottos that are exclusively available on the self-service betting terminal in selected shops can only be accepted via the terminal itself (will be deemed void if inadvertently accepted ‘over the counter’).17.2 See Section 54 onwards for full Lotto Rules
18. PRICE CHANGES
- All prices are subject to change and may, on occasion, be restricted to certain stake levels as agreed by our trading team. The prices offered via our other business channels, such as the internet, telephone betting service or on-course betting facilities, may be different from those available in our shops.
- Bets will be accepted only at the price that is applicable to the selection at the time that the bet is processed (ie; a valid receipt has been issued by the EPoS (till) system.
19. HORSE RACING
19.1 RESULTSAll bets placed on UK and Irish horse racing will be settled on ‘First Past the Post’ and the official result. This offer applies to all bets, win and each-way. There is no restriction on staking, and payouts are subject to our advertised payout limits. The exceptions where ‘First Past the Post’ does not apply and bets are only settled according to the official result are:
- A selection taking the wrong course
- A selection carrying the wrong weight or the jockey failing to weigh-in
- Any Ante Post bet
- A Forecast or Tricast bet
- A void race
- Any Tote/Pari-Mutuel bet
- A selection given as the winner in error by the judge
- A bet placed on a two-runner race or a special match bet
- A bet placed in a “without the favourite” or any other special market
- Aintree Grand National
- A bet placed on the Favourite Points or Distance markets
In the case of Football and other Sports, bets are settled on the first result published by the official source/governing body or alternatively the official website of the relevant event, immediately after the match/event is finished. Any subsequent corrections or amendments to this result will not apply for settlement purposes. If the result is not immediately available from the official source/ governing body or the official website of the relevant event, or there is significant evidence that the official source/governing body or official website is incorrect, we will use independent sources such as the Press Association to decide settlement. In the absence of any consistent, independent evidence or in the presence of significant conflicting evidence, bets will be settled based on our own statistics.
19.1.2 Speciality Bets
The ‘First Past the Post’ concession does not apply to Daily Challenge bets (including Jockey Challenges, Tipster Challenges, Meeting Challenges, Match bets, Aggregate Winning Distances and Winning Distance specials). In the event of a ‘revised result’, unless otherwise stated, all Daily Challenge bets will be settled according to only the official result on the day of the race, with the exception of Aggregate Winning Distance bets and Winning Distance special bets which will be settled as per the distance betting rules (see Sections 19.16, 19.17).
19.2 HOT SHOW DOUBLES
- A Win-Only enhanced price is available on two selections in two selected races
- In the event of a withdrawal during the Industry Show in either of the Hot Show Double races, the enhanced price reverts to the SP on both selections.
- If one of the selections in the Hot Show Double is withdrawn, the bet becomes a Win Single on the remaining selection and any returns will be settled at SP.
19.3 BETTING WITHOUT FAVOURITE
- A ‘Betting Without Favourite’ market is available on selected races. The market includes prices on all selections excluding the Favourite.
- Standard UK Each Way terms apply to the Betting Without Favourite Market, and they may differ from Each Way terms available on the race itself
- In the event of a withdrawal, a deduction equivalent to the Tattersall’s Rule 4 (c) scale maybe applicable (see Rule 7.3)
19.4 FAVOURITES
In any race, Favourites will be qualified as follows:
- The Favourite is the horse quoted in the official SP return at the shortest odds
- The 2nd Favourite is the horse quoted at the next shortest odds etc.
- If two horses are quoted at the same odds and if these odds are shorter than those quoted against any other horse, these two horses are the Joint 1st and 2nd Favourites.
19.5 WITHDRAWN FAVOURITE
Where a horse is withdrawn not under starters orders but is still returned Favourite (i.e. no new market is formed), then bets on that Favourite are void. Bets WILL NOT transfer on to the next shortest price horse. Where a horse comes under starter’s orders but refuses to run, this will be classed as a runner and all bets on that selection will be deemed losers.
19.6 JOINT FAVOURITES
By using the term ‘Favourite’, ‘Second Favourite’ or ‘Third Favourite’, to indicate selections, the stake will be invested on the horse as defined above. If two or more horses, both of whom are Favourites, are selected the stake will be divided and invested equally amongst each of the selected horses. However, if these joint favourites are returned at a price whereby, irrespective of result, the customer could not secure a profit, the Unnamed Favourite will be regarded as a non-runner.
19.7 SP & EACH WAY BETS
SP bets for Unnamed Favourites and/or 2nd or 3rd Unnamed Favourites are accepted as Win only. If Each Way is taken in error, bets will be settled all up to win.
19.8 CONDITIONAL BETS (‘ANY TO COME’ or ‘IF CASH’ BETS)
- When settling conditional bets the instruction ‘If Lose’ will be read as ‘If Lose or Non-Runner’ and the instruction ‘If Win’ will read as ‘If Win or Non-Runner’.
- Providing the selections are in different races, ‘Stop at a Winner’ bets are accepted Win or Each Way and will be settled in the order written. A non-runner will not be counted as a winner and the bet will continue until one of the selections either gains a 1st place or Dead-heats for 1st place.
- In deciding which part of the bet the ‘Any-to-Come‘ is to be taken, a drawn line on the betting slip will be taken to indicate the end of one bet and the start of another.
- The conditional part of an ‘Any-to-Come’ bet will be executed on the understanding that the total cash in hand, at any stage, will be applied to the settlement in the order of the remaining written instructions.
- For example, if £5 is staked on the first race selection ‘A’, with ‘ATC’ £10 to be staked on the second selection, but the return from horse ‘A’ is only £9, then £9 is invested on horse ‘B’, as opposed to the £10 as originally requested). Cash in hand from a selection cannot go on to that selection or a selection in the same race. (ie: the horses must be running in different events).
- If at any stage there is insufficient cash available to execute in full the next part of the ‘Any-to-Come’ instruction, it will be settled proportionately.
- If in the conditional part of the ‘Any-to-Come’ bet the stake is omitted, the total amount staked on the preceding selection of the series (of bets) or instructions will be invested.
- All ‘Any-to-Come’ or ‘If Cash’ bets exclude Ante Post selections.
19.9 EARLY PRICE BETTING
An ‘Early Price’ bet is defined as a bet struck with a Coral price taken after the final declarations for the race have been made and before the first live Coral traded or racecourse show offered is displayed. Early Price bets are accepted on the following basis:
- If the selection does not run, stakes will be returned.
- In the event of non-runners, bets are liable to Rule 4 (c) scale of deductions (see Rule 7.3).
- If a bet is placed after the final declarations but the race is postponed to another day, all bets will be void.
19.10 BOARD PRICE BETTING
A board price confirms the odds immediately before the start of the race and is generated via the live Coral traded show or from the racecourse where the race is run as offered. Board price bets are accepted on the following basis:
- The official price may be amended if there is an official correction to a displayed board price. This requirement for change may be the result of the original price being incorrect, due to invalid information at the time the bet was struck with the customer.
- Board Prices are accepted on the basis of ‘non-runner money back’ and are liable to Rule 4(c) scale of deductions in the event of any non-runners (see Section 7.2).
19.11 STARTING PRICE ("SP") BETTING
SP bets will be settled at the officially returned starting price (SP) supplied from the racecourse where the race is run. SP bets are accepted on the following basis:
- All SP bets are accepted on a ‘non-runner-money back’ basis.
- Rule 4 (c) scale of deductions will only apply to a SP bet where a horse is withdrawn prior to the start of a race and a new course betting market is not formed, prior to the start of the race.
- If at the time of bet placement, the customer does not confirm that they want the currently available price, the bet will be settled at SP.
19.12 INDUSTRY SHOW PRICES AND INDUSTRY SPs
Industry prices and Industry SPs are predominantly used for International racing in countries where no Board Prices and SPs are available. If Industry prices and Industry SPs for international racing are available, the following rules will apply:
- Where no price has been taken all bets will be settled in accordance with the Industry SPs.

19.13 COUPLING

The rules differ from country to country in terms of whether settlement applies to Win or Each Way bets. Please see below or ask our staff for details. Bets struck at Coral Show prices, Coral SP’s, Industry prices or Industry SP’s are not affected by the Coupling rules.
19.14 FOREIGN RACING RULES

19.16 AGGREGATE WINNING DISTANCE BET – COMBINED AFTERNOON DISTANCES
- Bets are placed on the aggregate of the winning distances from one race meeting.
- If the winning distance is under one length the following numerical values will apply:
| Distance | Value |
| Nose | 0.05 |
| Short Head | 0.1 |
| Head | 0.2 |
| 1/4 Length | 0.25 |
| Neck | 0.3 |
| 1/2 Length | 0.5 |
| 3/4 length | 0.75 |
- The maximum winning distance for any Flat race is 12 lengths for a Flat race and 30 lengths for a National Hunt race (including NH Flat races), as detailed below:
- In the event of only one horse finishing in a race the following distances will apply:
- 30 lengths for National Hunt races, including National Hunt Flat races.
- 12 lengths for Flat races.
- If a meeting has three or more races abandoned or declared void, then all bets will be void unless the winning over band for the market has already been established, in which case ALL bets will stand (win or lose).
- If only one or two races are abandoned or declared void, bets will be settled with a default distance used for each abandoned or void races:
- 6 lengths for National Hunt races, including National Hunt Flat races
- 2 lengths for Flat races
- In the event of a ‘Walkover’ (ie: only 1 horse starting) the following distances will apply:
- 12 lengths for National Hunt races, including National Hunt Flat races
- 5 lengths for Flat races
- All Distance bets will be settled on the original distance recorded by the winner who was ‘first past the post’. However, if a horse has taken the wrong course or is carrying the incorrect weight it will be ignored for distance betting purpose. The aggregate winning distance will be calculated between the first two runners past the post who have taken the correct course.
- Bets cannot be combined in multiples where the same meeting is involved (meeting challenge/ jockey challenge and tipster). We do not accept combined bets involving ‘Follow the Fav’. If accepted in error bets will be settled as split stake singles.
- All bets will be losers unless the selection wins the race. However, if the selection is a non-runner, all bets will be void, unless it was an Ante Post bet on an ‘all in run or not’ basis.
- If there are other non-runners in the race, Rule 4 (c) scale of deductions may be applied to the prices for both winning over and under the specified number of lengths.
- All bets will be settled on a ‘first past the post’ basis. However, if one of the first two horses home has taken the wrong course or is carrying the incorrect weight, the winner will be deemed to be the ‘first horse past the post’ who has taken the correct course. The winning distance will be taken from the first horse to legitimately complete the course back to the second horse to legitimately complete the course.
- If the selection dead heats with another runner, bets on the selections to win under the specified distance will be settled as winners at half the initial stake.
- These eventualities are no longer available and should a bet be accepted in error, they will be void, win or lose.
- Straight Forecasts are accepted only in races of three or more runners. However, should a bet be accepted in error on a two-runner race, or a race is reduced to two runners, Straight Forecast bets will stand, and be settled as a Single, at SP, on the horse named to finish first.
- Straight Forecast bets where only one selection is made, or in races where one horse finishes alone, will be settled at SP Singles. If no Straight Forecast dividend is declared, bets will be settled on a dividend based upon the final Coral prices of the winning selections. Should there be no prices or Tote dividend available, forecast bets will be void for settlement purposes.
- If a selection becomes a non-runner, Forecast bets involving that selection will be settled as a win Single on the other runner.
- In a Combination Forecast, where a selection becomes a non-runner, the total stake of the bet will be divided equally between the possible Forecast combinations, using the remaining selections and the Forecasts which include the non-runner will be settled as win Singles. For example:
- £1 CFC on horses A, B and C, where C becomes a non-runner. The bet reverts to a £1 RFC on horses A and B, plus a £2 win on each of horses A and B.
- Forecasts are accepted in Singles, Doubles and Trebles only. Accumulators are accepted only as part of a Forecast bet special package (eg: Forecast Yankee). If otherwise taken in error they will be settled as Trebles with the stakes equally divided.
- Unnamed 1st Favourites with a named selection or race card number are accepted in Forecast Single bets. Any such selections included in Forecast Doubles, Trebles and Accumulators (or Tricasts) will be void.
- Should the 1st Favourite and the named selection be the same, the Forecast will be void.
- In the case of Joint 1st Favourites the bet will be settled proportionately and if one of the Joint Favourites is the same as the named selection, that part of the bet will be void.
- Showcast applies to races of 3 to 6 actual runners only.
- Where a horse is withdrawn from a three runner race, this is no longer a Showcast race.
- If a Showcast bet is taken on a race that is not a Showcast race, the bet will be settled as a Computer Straight Forecast.
- Where a horse(s) is withdrawn from a Showcast race, all Showcast bets will be settled to CSF dividend.
- If a dead heat applies, stakes will be apportioned in the same way as standard dead heat bet.
- Showcast bets are accepted as singles only. Any multiple bets accepted in error will be settled as singles, by equally dividing the stake between the number of Showcast bets.
- Unnamed Favourites with a named selection are not accepted and if taken in error bets will be void.
Tricasts for selections to finish 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the correct order are accepted in races for which an official Tricast dividend is returned.
- Selections may be named although race card numbers will be taken, providing there can only be one interpretation of the required selections.
- Tricast bets are accepted on all handicap, nursery and rated stakes handicap races where 8 or more runners are declared and six or more actually run.
- If there is any ambiguity with one of the written selections and the other two selections are clear the bet will be settled as a Forecast, in the order written.
- Similarly, if a Tricast bet includes an Unnamed Favourite, this will not be deemed a valid selection and the bet will be settled as a Forecast on the other selections.
- Tricasts are accepted in Singles only. If a Tricast Double is accepted in error, the total stakes for the doubles will be divided equally as Tricast Singles for the selected races. A similar rule is applied to Tricast Trebles etc.
- Instructions for permutations must be specific, otherwise the bet will be settled as a Straight Tricast to the stake available. For the purpose of settlement it should be noted that a permutation is a series of straight Tricasts.
- ‘Any to Come’ or ‘If Cash’ bets are not accepted and, if taken in error, the ATC or ‘If Cash’ instructions will not be actioned.
- Tricasts will be settled in accordance with the official Tricast dividend.
- Should selections for a Straight Tricast include a non-runner, the stake will be invested as a Straight Forecast on the remaining two selections in the order written. Should a Tricast include two non-runners the Tricast will be settled as a Single.
- For Combination Tricasts, the stake will be re-invested, with those parts of the bet containing the non-runner settled as Forecasts, with the non-runner being discounted. For example: £1 CTC 4 selections ABCD where D is a non-runner (total stake = £24), would be settled as 6 x £1 CTC ABC & 6 x £3 CFC ABC.
- For the purpose of combination bets the stake will be invested as a full cover Combination Forecast Bet. (All possible combinations, so for three selections there will be six possible combinations).
- If for any reason, a Tricast is taken for a race for which an official Tricast return is not declared, settlement will be made as follows :
- Where all three selections run, settlement will be made as a Straight Forecast on the selections nominated to finish 1st and 2nd, with the selection of 3rd place being discounted.
- Where a selection has been timed and or meeting stipulated this will determine the race for which the selection was intended.
- Where no time or meeting stated – the selection will be on for the first race in which the selection runs, after the bet was placed.
- All bets will be settled at the SP if the SP is larger than the Early Price that has been taken. Applies to singles and multiple bets only - stake limits apply ('singles' - maximum stake £100, 'multiples' - dependent on bet type, see promotional advertising for details).
- Each Way bets are available in these races and, in the event of any non-runners, a Rule 4 (c) scale of deduction may apply.
- Where such a Rule 4 deduction is applied to a price taken, the bigger odds will be paid after the Rule 4 deduction has been made.
- The Best Price Guarantee concession applies to Win and Each-Way markets only and does not apply to any Tote, In-running or Ante Post bets.
- Where 'standard' consolation bonuses are offered on multiple bets as advertised in participating shops (for example: 'double-the-odds one winner' on a 'Lucky 15'), the 'Best Price Guarantee' concession, where available, will also apply. Where the participating shop is offering 'enhanced' consolation bonuses (for example; 'treble-the-odds one winner' or upwards), the 'Best Price Guarantee' concession, where available, will not apply.
- If reserves are contained within the final declaration stage for a race, Early Prices for all the declared runners will be available, including the reserves.
- If a declared runner is announced as a non-runner, the market will be revised. All bets struck prior to this announcement may be subject to Rule 4 (c) scale of deductions. The Rule 4 deduction will be applied to all bets struck prior to the non-runner being announced, even if the non-runner was one of the reserves.
19.25.1 Acceptance (Retail)
- Tote bets are accepted via our EPoS (till) system, which allows them to be placed directly into the on-course pool. Any Tote bets processed in this way will not be subject to our Maximum Payment rules.
- All Tote bets are placed directly into the live Tote pool. If the bets, for whatever reason, do not reach the pool, stakes will be refunded. Coral will NOT be liable for any loss of winnings that a customer would have been eligible for had the bet reached the pool.
- In the event of a connection failure between any of our shops and the Tote Direct system which results in a bet being accepted initially by Coral but not by Tote Direct for any reason the following rules will apply:
- Bets are accepted on Win, Place, Exacta, Trifecta, Placepots and Quadpots.
- Scoop6 or Jackpot bets will not be accepted outside the Tote Direct Pool. If a Scoop6 is taken in error and not entered into the Tote Direct pool, it will be settled as an Each Way Accumulator at SP odds. A jackpot bet taken outside the pool will be settled as a win Accumulator at SP odds.

- If ‘Tote’ is not written bets will be settled at SP unless otherwise indicated in our rules.

- If there is any dispute arising from the horse name or number, bets will be settled on the horse number printed on the captured image of the customer receipt.
- All Tote bets are settled on the official result on the day of the race.

- In bets with more than one leg, non-runners are replaced by the Unnamed Favourite and any other bet containing a non-runner is void.
- If the Favourite is withdrawn before coming ‘Under Starter’s Orders’ and too late for a new market to be made, the next shortest priced horse will be substituted. If two or more horses are returned at the next shortest price, the one with the lowest race card number will be substituted.
- If a race is declared void, is not run or becomes a ‘Walkover’ the Jackpot, Placepot, Quadpot and Scoop6 are settled on the remaining legs.
- The win pool is divided into equal parts. In the Place pool, if an extra place(s) is created the amount of the pool allocated to that placing will be divided equally between the runners involved in the dead heat.
- Dead heats for 1st place count as winners in the Jackpot and Scoop6 win pools. Dead heats for places count as winners in the Placepot, Quadpot and Scoop6 place pools.
Tote Place bets are subject to a £2 minimum stake. The place terms are determined by the number of runners, as follows:
- Up to 4 runners = No Place betting.
- 5-7 runners = Place betting for 1st and 2nd.
- 8 or more runners = Place betting for 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
- Handicap races with more than 16 runners = Place betting for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th.
This is simply a Tote win bet and a Tote place bet placed on the same horse.

20.2 GREYHOUND FORECASTS
- Forecast bets will only be accepted in races with at least three runners.
- If a bet is accepted in error on a race with only two greyhounds, or a race reduced to only two greyhounds, Forecast bets will stand and be settled as Singles, at the SP, on the greyhound selected to finish first.
- Straight Forecasts are settled in accordance with the Greyhound Computer Forecast returns.
- If a Forecast contains a named non-runner this will be settled as a win Single on the remaining runner. This would also apply where there is a vacant trap or a reserve greyhound.
- In a Forecast where a reserve greyhound runs, the Forecast will stand, unless the greyhounds are named.
- In a Combination Forecast, where a selection becomes a non-runner, the total stake of the bet will be divided equally between the possible Forecast combinations. This will be achieved using the remaining selections with the Forecasts including the non-runner becoming Singles.
- Where no Forecast dividend is declared, a Coral dividend will be declared on last Coral prices available. Similarly, in a Straight Forecast where one selection is made or in races, in which one greyhound finishes alone, bets will be settled as SP Singles.
- Tricast bets are only accepted in races where an official Tricast return is declared by the service provider. If no Tricast dividend is returned, bets will be settled as Straight Forecast on the first two selections.
- Selections must finish 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the correct order in races where an official Tricast dividend is declared.
- Selections can be named, although Trap numbers will be taken provided there can only be one interpretation of the required selections. In the event of any ambiguity (ie: if the same selection is repeated) but the duplicate solution and other selection win, the bet will settled as a Forecast.
- Tricasts are accepted in Singles only and if a Tricast Doubles bet is taken in error the total stakes for the doubles will be divided and invested equally as Tricast Singles for the selected races.
- Where one of the named greyhounds, selected in Tricast, becomes a non-runner and regardless of whether a reserve runs in its place, the bet will become a Forecast on the remaining two selections.
- In a Tricast where Trap numbers are selected and a reserve greyhound runs, the Tricast will stand.
- When two named greyhounds become non-runners, regardless of whether reserves run in their places, the Tricast will be settled as a Single on the remaining runner.
- Instructions for permutations must be specific, otherwise the bet will be settled as a Straight Tricast to the stake invested.
- ‘Any to Come’ or ‘If Cash’ bets are not accepted. If taken in error the ‘ATC’ or ‘If Cash’ instructions will not be actioned.
- A Tricast which includes an Unnamed Favourite is not accepted and will be declared void, with stakes returned.

- If a named greyhound runs from a different trap number than the one listed at the time the bet was struck, the bet will stand.
- Bets for unnamed second or third Favourites in Greyhound races are not acceptable and if taken in error will be void.
If a greyhound is withdrawn from a race, no further Board Prices will be available until a new market has been formed. If an Early or Board Price is taken and a greyhound is then withdrawn, the bet will be settled at SP. If a Trap number is selected then the bet will be settled on the trap regardless of whether or not a reserve is running. However if a price is taken, this price relates to a specific greyhound and if that greyhound has become a non-runner, the bet will be void and the stake will be refunded. If a greyhound’s name is selected and that selection becomes a non-runner the bet will be void and the stake will be refunded.

In the event that a midweek or alternative pool is offered which also results in a rollover, details of the Pool to which those monies will be carried forward will be displayed in advance of the corresponding fixtures.
Where a Pool containing English Premier League fixtures has a rollover on the final day of operation in the season, this will rollover to the first weekend of the following season when English Premier League fixtures are scheduled unless otherwise indicated.
66.8 ABANDONED OR POSTPONED MATCHES
If a match is abandoned or postponed from its scheduled date or time but is then rescheduled to take place no later than the advertised kick-off time of the last match on the coupon in chronological order, then provided the match is played to completion at the re-arranged time all selections will stand.
If one or more fixtures are cancelled before the kick-off of the first scheduled match, only monies entered in to that week’s pool will be allocated to the Jackpot Pool. All Rollover funds from previous weeks will be carried forward to the next available ‘Football Jackpot’ pool where all fixtures take place.
In the event of If one or more fixtures are cancelled before the kick-off of the first scheduled match:-
- The Jackpot Pool will operate on correctly forecasting all available matches for the new funds only (only monies entered in to that week’s pool will be allocated to the Jackpot Pool. All Rollover funds from previous weeks will be carried forward to the next available ‘Football Jackpot’ pool where all fixtures take place.)
- 1st Consolation will operate on correctly forecasting all remaining matches except 1
- 2nd Consolation will operate on correctly forecasting all remaining matches except 2
If the venue of any Match is altered from that printed on the entry slip then the following rules will apply:
- If the match moves to a neutral venue then all selections shall be valid
- If the match is reversed and the away team on the entry slip becomes the home team or if either of the teams involved alter and play different opponents to those listed then all selections are void and the match will be void for Pool settlement purposes.
Coral at its discretion may choose to underwrite any pool at any time to a minimum guaranteed return to either a single winner or as a total Jackpot Pool.
66.10 INCORRECTLY COMPLETED ENTRIES
The customer is responsible for ensuring that their entry is submitted correctly as once accepted into the Pool it cannot be cancelled or amended. Any entry inadvertently accepted with too few or too many selections will be included in the total gross prize Pool with no monies refunded.
In circumstances where a technical error results in the acceptance of an incorrectly staked or otherwise unintended entry which is not subsequently paid for at the time of acceptance or before pool closure, we reserve the right to either:
- implement a manual adjustment to the Gross Pool for the said amount prior to calculating the Net Pool and associated Prize Share, or depending on the individual circumstances,
- declare the entry void, removing it from the pool and returning the stake actually paid to the customer.
Following the completion of the final match(es) in each Pool, Coral will perform all necessary checking and validation to establish winning entries and calculate the respective prize share for each winner.
Unless otherwise stated the Prize Share will be displayed on coral.co.uk as soon as possible after the final leg of the respective pool has been completed and all necessary checking has been concluded.
Winnings will be credited to the customer’s account.
These rules are subject to the provisions of Force Majeure and Events outside Our control as set out in the Terms and Conditions.

70. ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING POLICY
Coral has responsibilities to ensure that Anti-Money Laundering & Terrorist Financing Legislation is complied with. In addition all bookmakers licensed by the UK Gambling Commission have a responsibility to ensure customers who may be affected by problem gambling are identified. It is therefore necessary at times to ask individual customers for personal information confirming their identity and source of funds. We shall be entitled at our sole discretion to refuse any bet, payment, or further business from you in the event that this information is not supplied as requested, or is otherwise in our sole opinion deemed insufficient. Please be aware that where a person is suspected of criminal activity their details may be passed on to law enforcement agencies and /or other bookmakers for the purpose of keeping crime out of gambling in accordance with Gambling Commission guidelines.71. ERRORS
Coral makes every effort to ensure that we do not make errors in accepting bets. However, if as a result of human error or system problems a bet is accepted at a price (which includes the odds, handicap provisions, and other Terms & Conditions or details of the bet) that is:- Materially different from those available in the general market at the time the bet was made;
- Clearly incorrect given the chance of the event occurring at the time the bet was made;
then Coral will pay winnings at the correct price. To establish the correct price Coral will consider prices available in the general market at the time the bet was made, including the prices offered by our retail competitors. Examples of circumstances where this would apply are:
- The price is recorded as 100-1 when the price on offer in the general market is 10-1
- The margins for Handicap betting have been reversed.
72 DISPUTES
If you wish to make a query or complaint, as a first step you should as soon as reasonably practicable contact the shop’s Duty Manager for assistance. If you are unable to resolve your query satisfactorily with our manager you should then contact our ‘Customer Care Team’. If you are still unhappy with the solution offered by us, you may refer your complaint to the Independent Betting Adjudication Service (“IBAS”) for a ‘dispute resolution’, whose ruling shall be binding. IBAS rule on disputes about betting and gaming transactions but do not deal with service related issues. Once you have obtained a Coral Customer Care reference number for your dispute, you may contact IBAS by emailing adjudication@ibas-uk.co.uk or by calling 020 7347 5883. If, notwithstanding the above, you issue Court proceedings, Coral reserves the right to apply to stay those proceedings pending determination by IBAS. The query, complaint or dispute is confidential. However, you are allowed to discuss it with your advisers (including lawyers, financial advisers, health professionals and insurers on terms which preserve confidentiality), with any relevant regulatory body (including the Gambling Commission) as is required to enforce the outcome; with IBAS; and if required by law or regulation.73.
