It seems like most UK bookmakers and bingo operators have started finding new and creative ways to get you to spend more time on their sites.
And they do it without it costing them a penny!
Foxy Bingo has come up with Foxy Dollars, and Coral has also gotten in on the action with Coral Coins. So what exactly are they?
Let's take a look at how you earn them and, more importantly, how to spend them, and if they really do offer any value!
What are Coral Coins?
Coral defines Coral Coins as tokens collected from promotions, which you can redeem for offers of your choice, with no direct cash value of their own.
They show as a separate balance alongside your real‑money and bonus funds on both casino and sports pages, and can be spent whenever you have enough to unlock a chosen reward.
There is no standalone “Coral Coins account”: any eligible real‑money customer automatically becomes part of the promotion as soon as they join a qualifying offer.
You must be over 18, fully verified, and located in an allowed country to earn or redeem Coral Coins.
How to Collect Coral Coins
Coral Coins come from specific activities rather than every bet you place. The exact line‑up changes, but common sources include:
- Free‑to‑play games – Promotions like Rewards Shaker and other daily freebies award a fixed range of coins (for example, 50–100 Coral Coins per shake).
- Prediction and quiz games – Football Super Series, Racing Super Series, and similar “pick and predict” games, credit Coral Coins for taking part, or as a consolation if you miss the main cash prize.
- Selected slots and casino promos – Coin‑to‑Play slot tournaments and other casino offers hand out coins for staking on eligible games or for finishing on leaderboards.
- Smart Rewards and monthly draws – Players who do not win cash in certain prize draws receive a bundle of Coral Coins instead, keeping them involved for the next round.
Not every sportsbook bet or spin earns coins, so it is worth checking the promo pages to see which products are currently “Coin‑active”.
Where To See Your Coral Coins
Your Coral Coin balance appears next to your cash balance on casino, and under “My Account” → “Promotions” on sports.
The Coral Coin Store keeps a running transaction history so you can see where coins came from and what you have redeemed them for, which is handy if you are trying to work out why you suddenly have enough for that free bet.
Because coins are tracked centrally, you can earn them in one area (for example, a football prediction game) and then spend them on something completely different, such as slots or bingo rewards.
Spending Coral Coins in the Coin Store
The Coral Coin Store is the hub where your tokens finally become something useful. Typical rewards include:
- Free spins on named slot games, with the coin cost and spin value shown on each offer tile.
- Casino or bingo bonuses, usually with a modest wagering requirement (often around 1x on the bonus in Coral’s own terms, though independent guides sometimes note higher requirements on some promos).
- Sports free bets, such as £5 free bets for a set number of coins, to use on markets or sports listed in the tile.
- Straight cash rewards, for example, £5 for 5,000 coins or £10 for 10,000 coins, which can be credited as withdrawable cash once awarded.
Once you “buy” an offer with coins, it is locked in: the transaction is logged in your Coin Store history, and you cannot undo it or switch to a different reward.
Each reward then follows its own mini‑T&Cs on wagering, game eligibility and expiry, all linked from the relevant tile.
Coin‑to‑Play Tournaments and Side Games
Coral also lets you use Coral Coins as entry currency for some slot tournaments rather than paying with cash.

These Coin‑to‑Play tournaments sit in the Tournaments Hub, and each tournament card shows how many coins you need to enter and how many you could win back for finishing on the leaderboard.
This creates a cycle where coins earned from promos can be risked in tournaments to potentially earn more coins, without touching your real‑money bankroll.
For regulars, it feels a bit like using loyalty points to buy chips for a side competition – good fun as long as you remember they still cost time, even if not cash.
Expiry Dates and Other Rules
Coral Coins are deliberately short‑lived to nudge players into spending them.
Any coins collected in a calendar month expire at 23:59 UK time on the 7th of the following month, and unused coins are then forfeited.
There is no cash alternative to the coins themselves, and they cannot be transferred between accounts.
If your account is restricted for safer‑gambling reasons, that may also limit your ability to take part in Coral Coin promotions or redeem new offers, even if you still see a balance.
Are They A Good Addition To The Coral Experience?
Coral Coins sit alongside existing welcome offers and free‑to‑play games, giving sportsbook and casino customers an extra layer of value without changing how bets themselves work.
For Coral, they encourage log‑ins, predictions, and side games; for players, they turn those activities into free spins, bonuses, and the occasional cash top‑up if you manage your coins before they vanish on the 7th.
The key is to treat Coral Coins like a loyalty scheme rather than a guaranteed edge: collect them through promos you would enjoy anyway, keep an eye on the expiry date, and aim them at rewards you actually use.
Otherwise, they are just shiny numbers sitting next to your balance, quietly counting down!
