ReadyToBet Casino Review

ReadyToBet Casino is a sportsbook that’s all about football. Actually, that’s a slight exaggeration, but it’s a lot about football.

Singles, doubles, accumulators, handicap bets...you name it, you can stake money on it at ReadyToBet Casino.

Aside from football, you’ll find motor racing, ice hockey, tennis, basketball and baseball plus a few lesser-known sports upon which you can stake your pocket money or other disposable income.

The site promises to provide its members with excellent odds and in-play betting options which provide added excitement. On top of all that, there’s also a casino thrown in, stocked wall to virtual wall with roulette, slots, video poker and instant win games plus a live casino staffed by “charming” dealers.

All about ReadyToBet Casino

ReadyToBet Casino is operated by Red Melon Ltd, a company whose registered address, like many of their industry peers, likes in the Maltese city of Valletta. The site holds a license issued by the Maltese Gaming Authority. Customer support is available by email or live chat. Chat is only staffed from 11am - 8pm Monday to Friday CET however.

There’s also a well equipped FAQ that actually answers questions you might frequently ask. This may sound axiomatic, but it’s astonishing how many casinos fall at this hurdle.

Deposits and Withdrawals

ReadyToBet Casino promises its members that all payments will be made securely thanks to 128-bit Thawte SSL encryption. There is a good selection of payment options available, including Bitcoin which is always good to see. The minimum deposit in most cases is €10 and the maximum is €5,000.

More traditional deposit options come courtesy of Visa, MasterCard, Neteller, Skrill, Paysafecard, Sofort, EPS, PayKwik and bank wire. Payments will clear instantly save for bank transfer, which can take 5-7 days.

Separate Promotions

It’s customary for casinos that double as sportsbooks (or rather sportsbooks that double as casinos) to offer separate promotions to suit the needs of each group, and so it proves to be with ReadyToBet Casino.

Make your first deposit with the site for the purposes of sports betting and you’ll be rewarded with a 50% bonus worth up to €100. For casino members, there’s a welcome bonus worth up to €600 plus 25 free spins and for virtual sports there’s a €100 bonus to be claimed.

Live Sports

Live sports are the beating heart that keeps ReadyToBet Casino alive. They’re where the most excitement and the swiftest reversals of fortunes can be experienced. There’s a lot of money to be won and lost and there’s countless ways to do so.

Featured games, typically major football matches that are kicking off in the next 12 hours, occupy the top spot in the live betting section, with detailed analytics provided during the build-up and then delivered in real time once the game commences.

From the geographical distance between the teams to the quality of the pitch, every last facet of information that might influence your bet can be pored over, assessed and used to accurately hone your predictions.

If you’re looking for inspiration, cast your gaze across to the right hand sidebar. Here you can view the latest winners, filtered into tabs according to the past 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days. There’s been some major money won on ReadyToBet Casino’s sportsbook, and seeing these sums in black and white inspires confidence. Interestingly, you can also see the stake that went into each winning bet, allowing you to determine how much profit each winner pocketed.

Down the left hand sidebar, meanwhile, the site’s featured sports are listed, while a top menu allows you to select how odds should be displayed: decimal, fractional or American.

Welcome to the Casino

The casino at ReadyToBet Casino looks mighty inviting. Is this down to the design or the quality of games on offer? Probably both. Occupying pride of place on the top slider is a selection of the latest and most popular games including Lost Vegas, the Walking Dead-esque zombie slot that’s been going down a storm at casinos everywhere.

There are free spins available for playing the site’s new promoted games; titles such as Secrets of Atlantis and Karaoke Party, the latter coming with 30 free spins. Monkey Keno is another new casino game that’s worth a look.

As is the norm, slots dominate the featured games at the casino. With major developers contributing the software, ReadyToBet Casino is able to offer top slots such as When Pigs Fly, Theme Park Tickets of Fortune, Bar Bar Black Sheep and the comical Win Sum Dim Sum. There are branded slots too, including a couple of musical numbers: Jimi Hendrix and Guns N’ Roses, which is worth playing for the stomping soundtrack alone.

The remainder of the casino games at ReadyToBet Casino include a range of scratch games, video poker, table games such as blackjack and a few progressive jackpot games.

Virtual Sports

Most sportsbooks also feature virtual sports, and so it proves to be with ReadyToBet Casino. There are some highly convincing sports simulations to be savoured here, with virtual games of football, horse racing, dog racing and tennis all on offer. Each one is characterised by sharp graphics, lifelike sound effects and a range of betting options.

Once the action commences, don’t be surprised if you find yourself caught up in the moment and yelling your team or designated sportsman on. It may be simulated, but it still matters.

Final Thoughts on ReadyToBet Casino

ReadyToBet Casino is a well designed and well spec’d sportsbook and casino that earns plaudits across the board. Customer service is good, and it’s good to see a wide range of payment options including Bitcoin.

The sportsbook accounts for most of the site’s action, and it’s here that serious bettors will spend the bulk of their time. Football might be the sport that receives the most attention, but there are plenty of other ways to win, on sports ranging from baseball to hockey.

When it comes to the casino, ReadyToBet Casino performs almost as well. There are some great games on offer, including a number of excellent slots. Admittedly these games can be found at a good many casinos on the web, but their ubiquity can be taken as evidence of their appeal and entertainment value. The scratch games are also pretty good, with some interesting themes and numerous ways to instantly pocket some major cash.

There’s no live casino, but it’s no deal-breaker; there’s enough going on at ReadyToBet Casino to provide many hours of entertainment.
