Coral VIP Program
Today I’ll let you in on a secret.. sometimes even the experienced Matched Bettors fail! And fail I did at trying to get onto Coral’s VIP scheme.
Coral, like most bookies, offer a VIP scheme for a minority of customers who enjoy greatly enhanced special offers and freebies. Whereas a typical offer might be “Bet £20 get £20”, for a VIP this offer would be “Bet £200 get £200”. Also the free spins tend to be worth £2 each rather than 20p each, for instance.
Getting onto a bookie’s VIP scheme is usually shrouded in mystery however Coral are kind enough to clearly lay out their requirements for VIP:
So the easiest way to achieve this is to reach 1,500 priority points through sports single bets. 1,500 points at 2.5 points per £10 is equal to £6000 worth of single sports bets (no minimum odds).
If we try to estimate the qualifying losses on doing this it’s roughly:
So an estimated £74.42 loss if done at a close low-odds match while avoiding arbs. Excellent value for even just a single enhanced offer.
Obviously a £6k bet on an account with no previously history of such large bets is going to stick out, however splitting it into something more reasonable like £500 bets should be fine. Or so I thought…
Ouch! Uber-Sports gubbed halfway through the 6k wagering requirement. I wasn’t taking arbs however my first few big bets won (as expected due to the low odds matches) and so perhaps Coral thought I had been reborn as a professional gambler (rather than matched bettor)? Either way, my account was limited to a maximum of 0.00p stakes and the VIP dreams were dashed.
So what did I do wrong? Perhaps a new account would have had more luck had they started doing large £500 bets right from the beginning rather than someone with a history of small £10 bets taking advantage of various matched-bet type offers? Or maybe Coral just didn’t like that I was betting on close matched bets (even though they were all large premier league games and not arbs)?
I’ve got a friend waiting to sign up to Coral so will see if they have more luck by doing large bets right from the start and report back.

It’s good to have friends!
Hi. First of all, thank you for this website – it is great. I have a question. I’m doing MB from home through my laptop (I’ve done it few years back, but stopped when I cleared £400). This time I wait to continue as your monthly earnings are inspiring. Is it possible to do it from a public library on a girlfriend’s laptop and her separate account? Double the income.
Yes you could, however if anyone else has previously used that computer or internet connection for the bookies they may flag it as multi accounting.
Hey,
Thanks for the site, it’s very inspiring. I know you have 9-5 job but I was just wondering how much time you actually spend doing this?
Thanks
Evening Tom,
It really varies depending on which offers are on. Probably as an average I spend an hour every evening and then anything from 4 to 8 hours on Saturdays & Sundays.
Hi sorry, but irrelevant but I wasn’t sure where else to ask!
Could you please explain in more detail the betbright offer, where you bet £100 but lay it off as two £50’s? I don’t understand how you win in each situation. Similarly with the 12 bet, why would you deposit 6 £50 bets at a time rather than one £300 bet? Thanks 🙂
Betbright only refund 50% of your first bet if it loses. So if it loses you’ll only get a single £50 free bet from your initial £100 bet. This means that the first £50 worth of bet is a qualifier while the 2nd is a SNR bet as that’s the part you’ll be making profit on.
The 12bet signup terms state that it is a free bet “up to the average value of your first 6 bets”.. so you need to do 6 bets each of £50 to earn a £50 free bet from them.
When I started with coral as a typical matched bettor they were the first to close my sport accounts followed shortly after by the partners account. Two+ accounts at the same address doing similar activities would be a red flag i guess.
