About Rubybet Sport
Ruby Bet was only founded in early 2019, making it easily one of the freshest names on the market. While we understand if you naturally prefer to go with more established names, there’s often a whole lot of value to be found in going with a newer bookie, which is still trying to make a name for itself.
Rubybet is one of ProgressPlay’s homegrown brands and runs on the BetConstruct platform which means they can boast one of the most interesting interfaces around, with multi-view capability allowing punters to track several live games at the same time.
They can hold their own against the industry titans when it comes to market availability and betting markets too, easily matching them in numbers and not doing too badly with their odds either.
Being such a new bookie there are a few teething problems that need to be dealt with, but Rubybet certainly shows promise and outperforms most other new bookies by quite some distance.
Rubybet for Mobile
The Ruby Bet mobile app can be downloaded to Android and iOS devices and there is also a mobile optimised version of the site. A Shortcut can be created to the mobile version which is fully functional. However, there are no specific mobile promotions for new and existing customers but mobile users are eligible for the standard desktop offers. The mobile app for all major devices mirrors the desktop format with all the sports betting leagues and markets, payment options and customer service. The app is easy to navigate and a market can be reached after a few taps.
Rubybet Welcome Offer
New customers with Ruby Bet can claim £10 in the form of a free bet. This modest welcome offer is subject to the following Terms & Conditions:
– New customers only and existing players are not eligible.
– Minimum deposit of £10.
– First bet must be for a stake of £10 or more.
– The qualifying bet should be at odds of 1.5 or bigger.
– Once the qualifying bet has been settled £10 in the form of a free bet is edited to the new account.
– Free bet must be turned over just once before customers have access to the funds.
– Any winnings from the free bet do not include the stake.
– The bonus and winnings will expire after 7 days if the qualifying rules are not met.
– Ruby Bet general Terms & Conditions apply.
The value of the free bet is the lowest in the industry. Other operators offer the same amount as part of a welcome offer but there are none for a lower value. Even though the free bet amount is modest the offer is transparent and achievable. Other bookmakers have more lucrative offers but the Terms & Conditions are more complex. However, the welcome offer does not provide a significant incentive to open an account with Ruby Bet.
Rubybet Betting Options
Ruby Bet compensates for the modest value of the welcome offer and dynamic offers with betting on over 50 sports which is above average. Customers can locate a betting event using a search facility that allows a competition and team to be entered. The main betting events of the day are displayed in a list above the full list of the betting sports which are ordered by the number of bets.
At the time of writing there were about 1700 current markets of which 1500 were for pre-match options. Even though there has been a growth in in-play betting Ruby Bet focuses on betting before the matches begin. In addition to the standard sports, customers with Ruby Bet can bet on politics, Esports and TV shows and movies. In terms of the number of bets the most popular betting sports are football, tennis and basketball and there is more information about these sports below.
Rubybet Payment options
Ruby Bet UK offers a good selection of banking options, including PayPal, Pay By Phone, Neteller, Skrill, PaysafeCard, Trustly and ecoPayz, in addition to debit cards and direct bank transfer. Depending on the payment method selected, the minimum deposit amount is either £10 or £20. There is a 15% charge made when you make deposits using Pay By Phone; all other methods are free.
When you make a withdrawal at Ruby Bet Casino, there is a £2.50 fee charged. All requests to cash out are considered as pending for up to 3 working days and are then processed on the next available business day.
The range of payment methods open to UK players at Ruby Bet is good, and it offers industry average withdrawal times; however, it is disappointing that you are charged for cashing out but without the advantage of being able to get hold of your cash more or less instantly.
Rubybet Costumer Support
There are two ways to directly contact Ruby Bet – live chat and email. Live chat is available between 08:00 – 00:00 GMT, which is a very reasonable span indeed, and emails are sent directly through the website.
Naturally, you’d take it for granted that – in addition to live Ruby Bet customer service – there would be an FAQ section to use outside of those contact hours. Well… not with Ruby Bet!
While an FAQ does exist, it exclusively relates to the casino section of the website, with no mention whatsoever of sports betting. Simply put, this is absolutely inexcusable, and is yet another thing which should have been fixed before the site was launched.
