Coral sister sites

What Coral sister sites are, and why it matters

A sister site is a casino run by the same company, under the same licence, as another brand. For Coral that company is LC International Limited, a Gibraltar-registered business owned by Entain plc. Each sister has its own name, look and game lobby, but behind the scenes they share the licence, the company’s terms framework, payment processing rules and compliance team.

Knowing the family tree is useful for three practical reasons. It tells you whether you count as a ‘new customer’ for a welcome offer, it explains why two brands have near-identical help pages and payment limits, and it shows which brands a regulatory issue at the parent company could affect. Our general explainer on casino sister sites covers the concept across the UK market.

Coral sister sites: the full list

The brands below are linked to LC International Limited through the Gambling Commission’s register, Coral’s own help centre, or both. The Commission notes that trading names are supplied by the businesses themselves, so the register’s trading names list for account 54743 (opens in a new tab) is the place to confirm the current position.

For neutral profiles of several of these, see our pages on Gala Casino, Gala Spins, Foxy Games and PartyCasino. The UK casino brands A–Z shows who runs every other major site.

Ladbrokes: Coral’s closest sister site

Ladbrokes and Coral have been joined since November 2016, when Ladbrokes combined with Gala Coral to form Ladbrokes Coral. GVC Holdings bought the combined group in March 2018 and renamed itself Entain in 2020. Today both brands sit under the same UKGC account, and their help centres publish almost identical payment rules: a £2,000 maximum per deposit for UK customers, no withdrawal fees, Visa Fast Funds payouts typically within 4 hours of approval, and Fast Bank Transfer in 2–4 business days.

Our full Coral vs Ladbrokes comparison goes deeper, and the Ladbrokes sister sites page looks at the same family from the other side.

Can you have accounts at Coral and its sister sites?

This is the question that matters most, and the answer changed in 2026. Coral’s help centre article ‘Why can’t I create a new account?’ states that no new accounts are permitted across its brands operating under the same licence, naming Coral, bwin, PartyPoker and Sportingbet as examples. It adds that people who registered multiple accounts across these brands before 1 July 2026 may keep and use them, but can’t open any new ones.

In practice, if you already hold an account at one LC International brand and try to register at another, expect the sign-up to be blocked. If you think that has happened in error, for example because you never had an account, Coral asks you to contact customer support so it can review the case. Our guide on multiple casino accounts explains why operators restrict this, and can you have two accounts at the same casino covers the one-account-per-brand rule.

Coral’s help article links the 1 July 2026 change to licensing. It names the brands as examples rather than giving a complete list, so ask support if you are unsure whether a particular brand is affected.

Welcome offers across Coral’s sister sites

Welcome offers are for new customers, and Coral’s standard promotional terms say a new-player offer is only available if you haven’t previously opened and deposited into an account with the brand. The terms also allow Coral to identify you by name, address, email, card number and IP address. Combined with the cross-brand account restriction, this means one person can’t realistically collect the welcome offer at every Entain brand in turn.

A worked example

Suppose you joined Ladbrokes in 2025 and claimed its spins. In October 2026 you try to join Coral for its 100 free spins (bet £10 on slots, 10p spins). Under the help centre’s wording, a new Coral account wouldn’t be permitted because you already hold one on the same licence, so the Coral offer isn’t available to you. If instead you have no account at any LC International brand, you could join Coral, stake £10 on slots with an eligible deposit method, and receive 100 spins worth £10 in total at face value. Our Coral sign-up guide covers registration, and the Coral free spins page explains how the spins work.

What Coral and its sister sites share

Sharing a licence holder doesn’t mean the sites are identical, but several things are common because they come from the same company and the same rules.

• One licence and regulator relationship. A Gambling Commission action against LC International can affect every brand on the licence, as the August 2022 settlement did: Entain paid £17m, £14m of it relating to LC International.
• The same payment rules. UK customers face the same £2,000 single-deposit maximum and three-active-methods limit at Coral and Ladbrokes, according to their help centres.
• Funds protection. Coral’s terms describe high protection for customer funds; check each sister’s terms for its own statement.
• A similar complaints structure. Coral and Ladbrokes both use staged internal procedures, and Coral names IBAS as its independent dispute service.
• Group-wide checks. Identity, anti-money-laundering and harm checks are run by the group, so information you give one brand may be relevant at another.

Game lobbies, promotions, branding and the look of each app differ. Our explainer on white label casinos shows how this differs from sites that rent a platform from a third party.

Do limits and breaks carry across Coral sister sites?

Don’t assume so. Coral’s time-out and self-exclusion page explains the periods available (a time-out from a day up to six weeks, self-exclusion for at least six months) but doesn’t say whether a break taken at Coral applies at Ladbrokes, Gala or Foxy. Deposit limits are set per account. If you want to stop across the whole group, ask support to confirm, or use a tool that covers everything.

The reliable option is GAMSTOP (opens in a new tab), the free national self-exclusion scheme that every UK-licensed online operator must join. One registration blocks all of Coral’s sister sites and every other licensed brand for six months, one year or five years. Our guides on how to use GAMSTOP and Coral’s safer gambling tools explain the steps, and the National Gambling Helpline (0808 8020 133) is open 24/7.

Sites often mistaken for Coral sister sites

Comparison sites sometimes call any similar casino a ‘sister’, which is misleading. A true sister shares the licence holder. Our other four partners are run by different companies:

Because they are separate businesses, holding a Coral account doesn’t affect whether you are a new customer at these sites. See Coral vs PlayOJO or Coral vs Casumo for side-by-side comparisons.

How to check whether a site is a Coral sister

1. Scroll to the footer of the site and find the line naming the operator and licence number.
2. If it says LC International Limited and account 54743, it is a Coral sister site.
3. To double-check, open the Gambling Commission’s public register and search for 54743.
4. Open the trading names and domain names tabs to see the brands listed.
5. If a site claims to be part of the Coral group but shows a different licence holder, treat the claim with caution.

Our guide to reading a casino footer explains what licensed sites must display, and is Coral legit sets out Coral’s own licence details.

Is it better to play at a Coral sister site or an independent?

Neither is automatically better. Big-group sites like Coral’s sisters tend to have well-documented help centres, established payment set-ups and the resources to meet new rules on time, such as the 10x wagering cap from 19 January 2026 and deposit limit prompts from 31 October 2025. Independents and smaller groups may offer different game selections or promotions, and holding an account at one doesn’t block you from the other. Our comparison of big group and independent casinos sets out the trade-offs.

Whichever you choose, the house edge applies and losses are likely over time, so decide your budget first. The Coral casino hub has the full brand profile.
