Political Betting & Politics Odds

Political betting at Coral covers a wide range of UK and international political events, from general elections and leadership contests to referendums and overseas elections. All politics odds are based on officially confirmed processes and outcomes, helping you explore this category in a clear and straightforward way. You can join Coral to view the available politics markets and decide whether you would like to take part.

Why explore politics betting with Coral

Politics betting lets you place bets on outcomes linked to political events rather than sporting fixtures. These outcomes are settled using official results or announcements from recognised authorities.

At Coral, politics betting may include:

UK-wide political events
Devolved nation elections in Scotland and Wales
International elections, including US and European contests
Referendums and constitutional votes, when available

All markets are time-specific and usually close before voting begins or before an official decision is made.

UK politics betting markets

UK politics betting focuses on events that affect how the country is governed. These markets are based on official UK political processes and outcomes.

UK-wide markets available at Coral may include:

These markets relate to leadership roles and elections decided through Westminster and UK-wide political systems. Outcomes are settled using official announcements or certified election results.

England and Westminster explained

England does not have its own devolved parliament. Decisions such as General Elections and the appointment of the Prime Minister are made through the UK Parliament at Westminster, which sits in England. Although these outcomes are decided there, they apply across the whole of the UK.

This is why markets like the Next UK Prime Minister or UK General Election are classed as UK-wide rather than England-only.

Scottish and Welsh politics betting

Alongside UK-wide markets, Coral also offers betting on political events linked to devolved governments.

Scottish politics betting

Scotland has its own devolved parliament, which handles certain areas of governance separately from Westminster. Scottish politics betting markets focus only on outcomes within Scotland.

Markets available at Coral may include:

These markets are settled using official Scottish results.

Welsh politics betting

Wales has its own devolved legislature, known as the Senedd. Welsh political decisions for devolved matters are made separately from Westminster.

Markets available at Coral may include:

Next Welsh Senedd Election

These outcomes relate only to governance in Wales and are settled using official Welsh election results.

US politics betting markets

US politics betting is set out separately, as the United States follows a different political system from the UK. These markets are offered to UK customers under UK regulation but are based on official US election processes.

US politics betting markets at Coral may include:

2028 US Presidential Election
2026 Midterms
2026 Senate Elections
Candidate-specific specials, such as Donald Trump Specials

In the US system, the President is elected separately from Congress, which includes the Senate. Elections run on fixed cycles, and outcomes are settled using officially certified results. Coral presents these markets with clear labels to help you understand what each outcome refers to.

International politics betting beyond the UK and US

Coral may also offer politics betting markets linked to elections and political events in other countries, where official schedules and processes are confirmed.

International politics betting markets may include:

Each country follows its own political system, and markets are settled based on official results or announcements. Not every international political event will have markets available.

A brief history of political betting

Political betting has been part of UK betting culture for many years, traditionally centred around General Elections and leadership contests. Over time, this has expanded to include devolved nation elections and selected international events, all offered within a regulated and transparent framework.

Today, politics betting continues to focus on clearly defined outcomes and responsible participation.

Other future politics betting opportunities

From time to time, Coral may introduce new politics betting markets linked to upcoming elections, referendums, or leadership changes in the UK or overseas. Availability depends on confirmed schedules and regulatory approval, and not all political events will have markets offered.
