As you can see from the picture, Corals seem to be blocking foreign, probably American, IP addresses based on geolocation (which is why punters in the Costas use VPNs and hope they can collect their winnings and not have their bets voided if their bookies notice!).



As you can also see, they also seem not to have made an exception for search engine spiders (aka crawlers) which is why Bing searches show the block message. What Corals should do is (a) make an exception, and (b) consider shepherding them to a special landing page if they do not want parts of the site (eg live prices that will quickly be out of date) crawled.

I'm available for consultancy at whatever their CTO makes, plus £10.

Further proof that Corals do not understand the internet if they think it is always up. This sounds like a redundancy problem at HQ (and you can read that either way).

I've just logged on. If you still have problems, try the usual stuff like clearing your browser cache.
