When we signed up, the email came within seconds so don’t let this deter you from signing up!

Ruby Bet User Experience

The most impressive thing about Ruby Bet is their extensive live betting framework. Its slick and stands out with their black, white and red colour scheme and is also quite intuitive considering they haven’t been around long.

Even when you bet on a relatively unknown football matches, there will be a tonne of in-play options to whet your whistle. They have really gone out of their way to offer as much as possible, so fair play to ‘em.

There is no live streaming, however, but Ruby Bet have created a useful match tracker. This updates second by second and makes it very easy to keep up with the action, whilst giving you the option to change your in-play bets. Ruby Bet also offer a cash out option before your selections finish.

Their site doesn’t have all the added frills like many of the more established brands, but there is more than enough here to keep you engaged.

Why you should open an account with Ruby Bet

  1. E-Sports Betting

Ruby Bet boasts an impressive array of sports to bet on, including football, darts, tennis handball and many others.

What sets them apart is that you can bet on various e-sports, such as League of Legends, Counter-Strike and Dota 2.

  1. Wide Variety of Sport Promotions

Almost all of the major sports on Ruby Bet offer some kind of promotion and most of them offer a leader board feature in which you can earn prizes based on the bets you and others have placed.

These promotions even extend to free bets on e-sports! Happy days…

  1. Rewards and Loyalty Programme

Many sites now offer a rewards system for loyalty to their site and Ruby Bet is no exception.

Their rewards programme is based around completing specific missions to increase your ranking level, and ultimately, the rewards you earn. Rewards can range from exclusive offers to deposit bonuses.


What’s missing with Ruby Bet?

  1. No UK or Ireland Horse Racing

We were surprised to learn that Ruby Bet currently does not have any UK or Ireland horse racing available to bet on. So if looking for any tasty Cheltenham betting offers, you’d need to look elsewhere.

Since they were only established in 2019, we do not expect them to have all the bells and whistles, but this is a large missing piece for an online sportsbook to have.

  1. No Dedicated App

At present, Ruby Bet has no dedicated application for both iOS and Android devices. This means that if you want to use Ruby Bet on your mobile, you must use a web browser which may not be fully optimised for your screen size.

  1. No Live Streaming

Ruby Bet offers no live streaming for any of its events. This may be an issue for those that love to see their bets fly in live on screen.

They do, however, offer live in-play text updates via their tracker and in-play betting.


How can you get Free Bets and other promotions with Ruby Bet

Their welcome offer gives you a £10 free bet, if you deposit £10 or more. Their existing offers include cashback on all UEFA football up to £500 as well as a free £10 bet on golf after placing a £25 bet.

In summary, we think that whilst the welcome offer is simple and does the job, it is not the most original or enticing of bonuses. We do think that their existing promotions are fairly good, though, and it’s great that they cover a wide variety of sports.

Existing customer Free Bets and Offers

After sign-up, if you click the promotions section, it will give you an extensive list of all the promos and offers Ruby Bet have. The following are currently available:

  • Leader Boards

Most of the major sports have a ‘leader board’ promotion. In short, placing bets with various promo codes on certain sports can net you cash prizes if yours is one of the highest wagering bets

  • Football Cashback

If you deposit £10 or more with promo code UEFAQF, you will receive 15% cashback on your losing bets up to the value of £500

  • Score a Hole in One

You can claim a £10 free bet on any golf matches if you place bets of worth £25 or more.

Whilst some are slightly confusing, we were mostly impressed with the variety of existing promotions on offer at Ruby Bet. Many of their promos will be event-specific, so are a great way for punters to earn value over the course of the sporting calendar.


Ruby Bet on Desktop

The best way to view Ruby Bet’s site is definitely via an internet browser on a desktop computer or laptop

There is a main menu bar at the top, as well as a sub menu including all the events and sports. The site has a professional tri-colour scheme and navigation is simple and easy between each of the pages and sports.

Ruby Bet on Mobile

Ruby Bet can be used on any mobile website browser. It looks basically the same as the desktop version, but the top menu is now on the left-hand side.

Unfortunately, in doing this, it does make the site feel very squashed and sometimes it can be difficult to use. However, the website loads quickly, and we found no issues when placing a bet.

Ruby Bet App

There is currently no dedicated app for either iOS or Android. The only way to view their platform is via a mobile web browser or on your desktop. We expect that an app will be available within the next few months.


Ruby Bet Markets and Odds

At present, Ruby Bet offers more than 40 different sports to bet on, as well as a variety of e-sports, TV and entertainment markets.

The most popular sports here seem to be football, tennis and basketball. Their odds for all sports are in line with the industry standard for the time being and can also be viewed in a fractional or decimal format.

Ruby Bet Conclusion

All in all, Ruby Bet is a sound option for any punter, especially considering they have only been operating since 2019. Their website is simple and well laid out but could do with a few minor tweaks on their mobile browser version to make it easier to use.

Where Ruby Bet really shine (jewel joke alert) is their huge selection of sports and other events to bet on, along with their vast array of markets and in-play selections.

On top of this they have a simple but effective loyalty programme, as well as wide variety of sports promotions.

However, what lets them down is their lack of UK and Irish horse racing, as well as having no live streaming options available. Because of this, we are giving Ruby Bet a 6 out of 10.
