Do any of you using have problems with it? I often find that it takes several attempts to login and it has never remembered my details in the three years I've been using it. It often quickly logs me out again. When making a bet the bet slip takes ages to load. If trying to make multiple selections for races it seldom works and I end up just making separate selections for each race. Very often I give up and go to Bet Victor, Hills or Paddy Power web sites instead.
They seem to have picked up on the problem as I had a posting from them today saying:
"If you have recently had an issue logging into your online account, you just need to reset your password .........."
Not sure how resetting my password would cure the deficiencies on their site.

Worst site for me. Try clearing your cache and then deleting their cookies.

Rant starts here. At one point I had to use one browser to deposit and another to place bets. Now I rarely bother. In the cases I could work out what was going on, I blamed (possibly wrongly) updated javascript not being compatible with cached javascript (hence clearing cache worked).

Worst site I have ever came across and that is saying something.

Seem to get "redirecting" non stop, never remembers password, and then when I click on a selection I would guess about 5% of the time it actually adds the selection to the betslip, other times it's as if there isn't actually a "bet" button. Only solution I found is to refresh the page non stop until it actually works, which sometimes can be about 8-10 times.

I only manage to get about 10 bets with a new account anyway before it's restricted to pennies, so I generally don't even bother now as it just isn't worth the hassle, and would rather just take a shorter price and actually get on elsewhere instantly.

I have not had many posts in 16 yrs...but you are correct about corals and it started in 2013 Queen Mother with them offering 5/1 Sprinter Sacre to win for new customers (think it was max £10) every single I told about never used site again because of said problems and I only use it when they make a rick on a price

I might as well give up on them as so many have the same problems. I only opened it in 2013 as they were giving new customers a free.
ticket for the Eclipse.
I gave up on Ladbrokes as their site was almost a bad and it as almost impossible to draw winnings back to my bank account.

Ladbrokes and Corals are merging so a lot of people will lose their jobs (the 700 so far will just be the start) and the market will be less competitive.

And one reason is, as in this thread, both their web sites are rubbish, and often literally unusable.

I closed my account in March.  They were doing a few fun promos on the first race every day - 'bet £20 and get a free £5 bet for every English winner' etc.  Did the promo every day, bet the free bets back race by race.  Made maybe £20 having bet £200+ in cash plus free bets.  Next week I get a 'no more promos, no more BOG' email.

oldgit i've had the same problem for years and can never get an overnight price because the bet slip doesn't work until the following morning.
I'd thought the problem was with my computer so am pleased to hear others have the same problem. It is certainly one of the worst sites around and they must have forgone millions in unplaced bets.

Bet365 has just announced record profits (see tomorrow's paper) and imo it is no coincidence it has the best website: responsive, easy to navigate and not filling half the screen with badly-coded casino offers.

Corals worst web site ever. Asked them about it years ago. They say there is no problem. Utter tripe. I do not use them.

Is your password still visible when you log in to them? Not used them for years but it was then and still is now. Each digit is clearly visible for a short time when put in. Told them at the time but it received no response.

Major part of the problem is the use of "flashing" images supposedly to attract your attention. All sites should stop this. It frequently causes the cursor which you have set to the login box to jump.They know this and ignore it. What is the flashing window offering prices on? Kawasaki Women's Under 19s v Tokyo Sony over 35s. Have you looked at the range of events covered? Get these onto secondary pages: all you need is a quick link on the homepage directing you to "Very minor foreign soccer". All bookies are obsessed with "In running" because they know that the event will finish soon and they won't be able to take any more bets on it. What suffers? Access to British horse racing (the one sport bookies do not want you to bet in in case you are "an insider"). How long does it take to get to the day's race programme on Billy Mills? Pathetic. Bunch of one arm bandit peddlers.

As for nobet364: not much point in having a good website when you limit punters to a 1p stake. Best is Betmictor: easy to use, fast and you can get a bet. Laddies has improved from the horrendous site of a few months ago but it still uses too much apace selling cartoon racing and casino games. To be fair, you can get a bet.

I have had no problem with b356 despite taking best prices and account being in profit though only marginally whereas rec'd an email from corals 19 days after opening to say I would not be entitled to any offers and then 4 months later saying I could not place any sports bets whatsoever. Apart from those first 19 days when I won the grand sum of £350 I checked to find I was only about £10 up over those 4 months and my average bet was about £6 so have just closed the accountSad

Ladbrokes site is awful, and they seemingly don't give two shiny sh1tes either. They've had a 'Womens Olympic Soccer - Test Event' under the soccer competitions section since they launched the new site well over a year ago, and despite me telling them numerous times about it STILL haven't removed or even acknowledged it.
