Coral Casino app settings and notifications fall into two places: your phone’s settings, which control push alerts, tracking and location, and your Coral account, which controls email, SMS and phone marketing, deposit limits and reality checks. UK rules mean marketing is off unless you opt in. Here’s how to set each one the way you want.
Push notifications are controlled in your phone’s settings, not by a Gambling Commission rule.
Since 1 May 2025, Coral must let you choose marketing by product (casino, betting, bingo) and by channel (email, SMS, phone), with everything off by default.
You’re prompted to set a deposit limit before your first deposit, and decreases apply immediately.
The iPhone app’s privacy label lists tracking, which you can refuse when the app asks.
Self-exclusion removes you from marketing within two days.

Coral Casino app settings and notifications: what you control
Settings for the Coral Casino app live in two separate places, and mixing them up is why people still get messages they thought they’d switched off. Your phone decides whether the app may send push notifications, track you across other apps or read your location. Your Coral account decides which marketing reaches your inbox or phone, plus your limits and time reminders.
The App Store listing for the Coral Casino app doesn’t describe what its push notifications are used for, so treat any alerts as a mix of account messages and promotions until you see otherwise. Push isn’t one of the marketing channels the Gambling Commission requires operators to offer as a separate choice, so the dependable switch is your phone’s own setting.
On iPhone
Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
Tap Notifications, then scroll to the Coral Casino app.
Turn off Allow Notifications to stop all alerts, or keep it on and change how they appear.
If you deleted and reinstalled the app, check again, because iOS asks for permission afresh.
On Android
Open Settings, then Apps, and choose the Coral Casino app (wording varies by phone maker).
Tap Notifications.
Switch notifications off altogether or turn off individual categories if the app lists them.
For a time-based pause, Digital Wellbeing’s Focus mode can mute chosen apps and their notifications.
Since 1 May 2025, online casino, betting and bingo operators must let you choose marketing by product and by channel when you register, with every option set to off unless you switch it on. The Gambling Commission’s direct marketing rule, LCCP 5.1.12 (opens in a new tab), names the products as betting, casino and bingo, and the channels as phone calls, email and SMS. Existing customers were asked to confirm their choices at their first log-in after the rule started.
For a Coral customer that means you could, for example, accept casino emails but refuse betting texts. Coral runs both sports and casino, so this split matters: a casino-only player doesn’t have to receive football offers. Look for the marketing or contact preferences option in your account settings to change your choices at any time. Our page on UK marketing consent rules explains the background.

Stopping Coral marketing completely
If messages keep arriving after you’ve opted out, use the unsubscribe link in the email or reply STOP to a text where offered, then check your account preferences. The Gambling Commission’s page on stopping gambling marketing texts and emails (opens in a new tab) explains where to report persistent messages.
Two safer-gambling rules also cut marketing off. When an operator spots strong signs of harm, it must stop marketing to that customer and stop new bonus take-up. And if you self-exclude, licence rules require the operator to remove you from marketing within two days. Our guide to push notifications and gambling marketing covers both.
Deposit limits and the first-deposit prompt
Since 31 October 2025, UK operators must prompt you to set a financial limit before your first deposit, with setting one as the default and opting out needing confirmation. You type your own amount rather than picking a suggested figure, and the limit applies to your whole account. Lowering a limit takes effect immediately.
Operators must also offer gross deposit limits, meaning a cap on total money paid in, with the deadline for that extended to 30 September 2026. Customers with limits must be reminded to review them at least every 6 months, and those without limits at least every 12 months. The Commission’s explanation of the deposit limit rules (opens in a new tab) has more, and our guide to setting deposit limits in a casino app shows how to choose an amount.
A limit is easiest to set when you aren’t mid-session. Work out what you can afford to spend on entertainment in a month, and set the limit below that.
Reality checks, time and net spend in the Coral app
A reality check is a pop-up showing how long your session has lasted. UK technical standards say you must be able to set how often it appears, and you have to acknowledge it to dismiss it. Full-screen apps that hide your phone’s clock must show the time of day or elapsed time instead.
Casino games must also show your net position, meaning wins minus stakes, and time spent in real time. Look for the reality check option among your account’s safer-gambling settings and pick an interval that suits how you play; 30 minutes is a sensible starting point for many people. Our page on reality checks in casino apps explains the rules, and Coral safer gambling tools lists the tools Coral offers.
Tracking, location and other phone permissions
The iPhone privacy label for the Coral Casino app lists User Content and Usage Data as “used to track you”. On iPhone, apps must ask permission before tracking you across other companies’ apps and websites, so you can tap the option asking the app not to track. You can change the answer later in your iPhone’s privacy and tracking settings.
The same label lists coarse location as linked to you. Real-money apps must restrict play to the places they’re licensed for, though neither Apple nor Google says that has to be done by GPS. If the app asks for location, read the prompt and decide; our guide to whether casino apps track your location explains the options, and casino app permissions explained covers camera and storage requests.
Login and security settings
The Coral app’s store listing doesn’t mention Face ID or Touch ID, so don’t assume biometric login is offered; check the login screen. Whatever the app supports, your phone’s own lock is the first layer of security, because anyone who can open your phone can open an app that stays logged in.
Use a strong, unique password for Coral and change it if you reuse it elsewhere.
Protect the email account linked to Coral with two-step verification, since password resets go there.
Keep the app updated so security fixes arrive promptly.
For sign-in problems, the Coral login guide covers resets and locked accounts.
Rewards messages and how to keep them in check
The app listing mentions Smart Rewards, Rewards Grabber and Coral Coins promotions, plus free-to-play games with real-money prizes. Features like these are designed to bring you back, and a well-timed message can turn a quiet evening into a session you hadn’t planned.
If you notice offers nudging you to play, turn casino marketing off in your account and silence the app’s notifications. Our safer gambling page on notifications and urges has practical ideas, and the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 is free, 24/7, if you want to talk it through.
Coral and Ladbrokes offers without the marketing
You don’t need to opt in to marketing to see the welcome offers; the details are here. Coral’s offer for new players aged 18+ runs from 1 October 2026 to 1 February 2027: deposit and bet £10 or more on slots for 100 free spins on selected games, worth 10p each, to accept within 48 hours and use within 7 days, with no wagering on spin winnings.

Frequently asked questions
How do I turn off Coral Casino app notifications?
Use your phone’s settings. On iPhone, go to Settings, then Notifications, choose the Coral Casino app and turn off Allow Notifications. On Android, open Settings, then Apps, select the Coral app and turn off Notifications. Push alerts aren’t a separate marketing channel under UK rules, so the phone setting is the reliable switch. Our answer on turning off casino app notifications covers other devices, and the Coral iPhone app page has listing details.
How do I stop Coral marketing emails and texts?
Change your marketing preferences in your Coral account, turning off email, SMS and phone for each product. Since 1 May 2025 these options must be off by default, so you’ll only receive marketing you opted in to. You can also use the unsubscribe link in an email. If messages continue, the Gambling Commission explains how to report them. See our answer on stopping casino marketing texts and our page on UK marketing consent rules.
Can I get Coral casino offers but not betting offers?
Yes. UK rules require operators to let you choose marketing by product type, namely casino, betting and bingo, as well as by channel. So you could accept casino emails while refusing betting messages entirely. Look for the marketing or contact preferences option in your Coral account to set this up. Our answer on whether casino apps can send you offers explains the consent rules across operators in more detail.
Does the Coral app need my location?
The iPhone privacy label lists coarse location as data linked to you, and real-money gambling apps must restrict play to the places they’re licensed for. Neither Apple nor Google says that has to be done with GPS, and Coral’s help pages don’t publish a location requirement. If the app asks, read the prompt before deciding. Our answers on why a casino app needs your location and geolocation explain more.
How do I set a deposit limit in the Coral app?
You’ll be prompted to set one before your first deposit, as UK rules have required since 31 October 2025. Afterwards, look for the deposit limit option in your account’s safer-gambling or limits settings, and type your own amount. Limits apply across the app and website, and reductions take effect immediately. Our guide to setting a deposit limit on a casino app and the Coral safer gambling tools page explain the details.
Can I stop the Coral app tracking me?
On iPhone, yes. The App Store label lists User Content and Usage Data as used to track you, so the app has to ask permission first. Choose the option asking the app not to track, or change it later in your iPhone’s privacy and tracking settings. Some data, such as contact and financial details, is still linked to your account because a regulated casino must know who you are. Read our guide on how casino apps use your data.
What is a reality check in the Coral app?
A reality check is a reminder showing how long your session has lasted, which you must acknowledge to dismiss. UK technical standards require operators to let you choose how often it appears. Casino games must also show your net spend and time in real time. Set the interval in your account’s safer-gambling settings. Our reality check glossary entry and reality checks in casino apps guide explain the rules behind it.
Will I still get Coral account messages if I opt out of marketing?
Yes. Marketing preferences cover promotional messages, while service messages about your account, such as security alerts or confirmations about deposits and withdrawals, are separate. Turning all marketing off won’t stop you hearing about your own transactions. If you want a full break from gambling, a time-out or self-exclusion will also remove you from marketing. See our guides on taking a time-out in a casino app and Coral customer support.
