Overview
Operated by Evoke Gaming, Redbet, a popular Swedish sports betting brand, launched its online casino arm in 2004. In recent years, Redbet Casino has become a popular option for UK players, with many citing the superfast withdrawal times and excellent customer service as the main attractions. Despite that, Redbet Casino’s biggest selling point might just be its huge choice of games, with close to 1000 on offer. Read on for a detailed breakdown of everything you need to know about Redbet Casino.
Safety and Trustworthiness
In 2017, Redbet’s parent company, Evoke Gaming, was acquired by Mr Green Ltd. Despite being owned by a gaming giant, Redbet Casino still operates independently under Evoke Gaming’s licence from the UK Gambling Commission and Malta Gaming Association. With an excellent reputation in the casino industry, perhaps that is reason enough for their continuing to be operating independently.
Indeed, Redbet’s management seems to have invested a lot of effort into creating an online casino that is characterized by responsibility and attentiveness to its customers. This is not idle bluster either; Redbet Casino gets a 100% rating from The Pogg website on trustworthiness and customer service. Other sites, like Ask Gambler and Casinomeister, also score Redbet highly.
On the technical side, everything from card shuffling in card games to RTP of slots is independently verified by testing bodies such as eCOGRA and SKL. The most up to date SSL encryption technology from COMODO ensures the safety of any financial transactions on the Redbet Casino site.
Deposits & Withdrawals
Redbet is committed to speedy processing times, aiming for a maximum pending withdrawal period of of 24 hours. PayPal is not offered, but you can use other internet wallets like Skrill, Zimpler and Neteller.
Bonuses
The Redbet Casino new player bonus is pretty much standard for the industry, but is perhaps, somewhat uninspiring for high rollers. You will receive up to £100 matched on your first deposit (enter promo code WELCOME on registration). The casino bonus is based on a minimum deposit of £20 and will expire after 30 days of inactivity. Wagering requirements are set at 35 times the bonus amount, with the usual proviso that (most) slots count 100% towards wagering and table games and live dealer games have significantly lower weightings.
We would like to see a little more flexibility in the welcome bonus from Redbet, perhaps something that would entice high stakes players. On the plus side, terms and conditions are clearly set out and the wagering requirements at x35 the bonus are marginally better than average.
Game Selection
The Redbet Casino site states that it proudly partners with Microgaming, NetEnt, Evolution and SG Gaming – four of the biggest names in casino game software development. For that reason, you will find many of the most popular online slots at Redbet. NetEnt, for example, provides 132 slots to the site, including some of its most popular new games – Berryburst (a sequel to its flagship game Starburst), and Fairytale Legends: Mirror Mirror. Of course, other, less well-known, developers are available on the site. For example, you can play, Golden Colts (exclusive to Redbet) from Play N’ Go or Wolf Gold from Pragmatic Play.
In total, Redbet Casino offers 834 different video slots, alongside a collection of 21 slots with a progressive jackpot. The usual suspects are there for Microgaming and NetEnt – Mega Moolah, Mega Fortune, Major Millions etc. – but there is also a handful of less well-known jackpot games, such as Divine Fortune and Super Lucky Frog.
Evolution and NetEnt Live power an excellent live casino suite at Redbet. You will find 41 different tables (operating 24 hours), with roulette, blackjack and poker all covered. Indeed, Redbet offers an intriguing choice of live roulette tables for high rollers, including French Roulette Gold, which has a maximum bet limit of £300,000. Outside of the classic live casino games, you will find non-traditional games like Live Dream Catcher and Football Studio.
There is also a generous range of virtual (non-live) table games, including over a dozen unique blackjack and roulette titles. Video poker, too often overlooked by online casinos these days is given a decent showing by Redbet, with 16 different titles available.
A quick word about the style and layout of Redbet Casino site: while one wouldn’t consider Redbet to have a visually stunning website (it’s a simple red and white minimalistic style), there is innovation apparent in the layout and structure, particularly with the search options. In fact, Redbet has an option with which you can personalise or, as they term it, theme your own casino. Essentially, you can filter the games in terms of volatility, paylines, developer, types of bonus and so on. A brilliant tool for those who have specific tastes in casino games. In addition, Redbet retains some flexibility in changing the sections of the site. For example, adding sections for seasonal games under the banner of ‘Summer’.
If you prefer to look beyond casino games, you can access Redbet’s sports and poker sites using your casino account.
Mobile App
There’s no casino app for iOS or Android, but the mobile site is accessible for any players with a smartphone or tablet. A mobile app is, of course, preferable, but the Redbet mobile casino site is pretty slick and easy to use. The majority of slots are available on the mobile site, around 750 in total.
An impressive 35 of the live dealer tables are also available on mobile. However, the mobile site is somewhat let down by the lack of video poker and a very limited choice of virtual table games.
Redbet doesn’t distinguish between mobile and desktop players, so there are no extra bonuses or promotions for playing on mobile.
Promotions
The ‘Offers’ tab on the top of the homepage lists all of Redbet’s current promotions. Unfortunately, nearly all listed promotions at the time of writing are geared towards sports betting and poker. After some research through player reviews and testaments, it has, however, become clear that Redbet frequently offer players no deposit free spins, reload offers and cash bonuses.
There is no discernible loyalty scheme for casino players, outside the occasional offer of individual bonuses mentioned above. While player reviews are quite positive about the offers overall at Redbet, we would certainly like to see a bit more in the way of weekly promotions, loyalty bonuses and other freebies that most online casinos provide.
Support
Redbet casino provides 24/7 support by live chat, phone and email so all boxes ticked on that front
Review Summary
It’s evident that Redbet Casino is an excellent ‘all-rounder’, giving players a wonderful choice of games, great customer service and, overall, an innovative casino experience. The commitment to fast withdrawal times is a particular highlight, especially as waiting on their winnings is such a bugbear among casino players.
If there is one area that Redbet could improve upon, it’s the uninspiring welcome offer. A matched deposit offer of up to £100 is mediocre at best, especially considering that Redbet offers live casino games tailored towards super high rollers. Similarly, gaps need to be filled with regards to PayPal deposits and a fully fledged casino app. Address these 3 areas and we’d be happy to score Redbet a 9+ out of 10, for the moment we’re marking it 8/10.
