Welcome Bonus

Ruby Fortune Casino offers a competitive and lucrative welcome bonus. 

Quite simply, players are rewarded with a 100% matched deposit bonus on their first three deposits up to the value of $250. 

In absolute terms, a $750 welcome bonus may not be as sizable as other firms promise. However, due to Ruby Fortune promising to double the initial deposits of their clients, a large bonus can be built up for a relatively modest outlay. 

Deposit	Amount	Bonus	Wagering
1st	$250	$250	70X
2nd	$250	$250	70X
3rd	$250	$250	70X

As with most bonuses of this type, associated winnings must be wagered multiple times before it can be withdrawn. Although the advertised wagering requirement of 70x is higher than the industry average, it does only apply to the accrued bonus. Therefore, if players deposit $750 in total, and earn a $750 bonus, the total wagering requirement will be (70x$750), $52500. In comparison to rival schemes, this is not an onerous demand. Ruby Fortune Casino should be rightfully applauded for developing such an inclusive scheme.

As a means of meeting wagering requirements, players can place bets on a range of products. However, the proportion that those bets contribute towards wagering needs differs by game type.

• 100% – All slots (excluding NETENT slots & progressive jackpots), Keno & scratchcard games.
• 50% – NETENT slots.
• 8% – Table Poker, Roulette, Poker (except All Ace’s & Jacks or Better Video Poker)
• 2% – Classic Blackjack, All Ace’s and Jacks or Better Video Poker
• 0% – Baccarat, Craps, Sic Bo, Progressive Jackpots

In Summary, Ruby Fortune provides a jewel of a welcome bonus.

Software

As is standard with online casinos that operate within the New Zealand marketplace, Ruby Fortune Casino places slots content at the heart of its offer. In total, Ruby Fortune advises that over 450 products can be played by its clientele. Included in this number are mega titles from across the casino pantheon. Casino Games, Blackjack, Roulette, Table Games, Jackpots, Video Poker, and Live Dealer options, are available in one click through links on the homepage of the site.

One of the main drawbacks of Ruby Fortune Casino is its reliance on a small number of software producers for its content. Admittedly, players are able to access top slots titles that have been developed by Microgaming and Live Casino output that is powered by Evolution Live Gaming. But, as they say, variety is the spice of life, and there is a lack of variety on this platform. Unfortunately, this means that many blockbuster slots titles, which are the staple of many competitor sites, are not available at Ruby Fortune Casino.

Betting

Ruby Fortune Casino is powered by Microgaming. Because of this, players have access to world leading betting opportunities. However, one of the main drawbacks of this platform is the lack of sports betting options. 

As a devotee of most ball games, I must admit that one of the first things that I look for when I sign up to an online casino is whether a sports betting branch is in place. 

I think this is because I am essentially lazy. I see little point in transferring between multiple sites when I can place all of my casino and sports bets in one place. 

However, for players who like to play something out of the norm, the scratchcard section is where players might head. Instant win games that are available from this area are ideal for players who are time constrained. Decent prizes, of up to 50X stake, can be won on scratch cards that are purchased at Ruby Fortune.

Games

Ruby Fortune Casino harbours a modest selection of slots and casino games. 

All in all, players can immerse themselves in over 500 pokies titles and nearly 100 table game variants. 

However, a casino wouldn’t be a casino without Megaways branded slots and Evolution Gaming live dealer events. I can confirm that Ruby Fortune hits the spot with regards to both these software stalwarts. 

Players are likely to be particularly impressed with the selection of table games that Ruby Fortune has placed at their disposal. Evolution Live Blackjack, Evolution Live Roulette, and Evolution Live Baccarat are all easily accessed through the Live Games lobby for the benefit of patrons. When this is married to the extensive range of video poker games that the Ruby Fortune Casino supports, players are likely to agree that this firm is a gem when it comes to content.

Ruby Fortune Withdrawal Times, Limit and Methods

When it comes to making withdrawals from Ruby Fortune Casino, players must be prepared to take on board both positive and negative aspects of the process. Some of the terms and conditions that Ruby Fortune Casino applies to this subject certainly appears to be somewhat unique!

Let’s get the positives out of the way first. 

Ruby Fortune Casino has set highly competitive withdrawal limits. 

For players who are withdrawing sums that total more than five times the deposits that they have made, withdrawals are limited to $4000 per week. I would imagine that this rule is aimed primarily at jackpot winners. Allowing players to receive huge wins at a rate of $16,000+ per month seems reasonable, especially as this drip-feed approach is often seen as a security feature when preventing online fraud. From a review of the terms and conditions section of the Ruby Fortune Casino website, there is no specific mention of the conditions that are applied to winners of progressive jackpots. However, it is generally the case that payouts on games like these, where players can land jackpots that stretch into the millions, are treated differently. These payments will be most likely to be paid out over a period of several months. 

Players who have made regular deposits to the Ruby Fortune Casino platform receive enhanced withdrawal terms. Withdrawals that are made by this group of individuals can withdraw at a rate of $10000 every 24 hours. Compared to other casinos this seems a great offer.

However, some features of the withdrawal policy that Ruby Fortune Casino has developed do seem problematic.

First, the minimum limit for withdrawals has been set at $50.

When compared to its peers, this limit seems high. For small depositors, it is often going to be difficult to build bankrolls up to this amount. In which case, players would be depositing just to line the pockets of the casino’s owners. If you are a player that deposits a speculative $10 every now and then, other casinos might be more appropriate. 

Second, the number of banking methods that Ruby Fortune Casino allows for withdrawals to be made by is restrictive.

Players can only withdraw through Visa, Mastercard, Visa Electron, iDebit Bank Transfer and Skrill. 

Most people have access to at least one of these forms of payment, but withdrawals via Card or Bank Transfer tend to take longer to complete, meaning that the list that is offered by Ruby Fortune Casino can be viewed as being inconvenient at best. 

Third, the time that it takes for withdrawals from Ruby Fortune Casino to complete can only be described as being pedestrian.

If players make a withdrawal at 5AM on any Thursday morning, this payment will not be processed until at least 5AM on the following Monday. Such a waiting period certainly appears to be unnecessary. Especially as Ruby Fortune Casino are happy to reverse withdrawals throughout this period. Which can be viewed as tempting players to part with cash that they had not originally planned to play with. When transaction times are included, players could be waiting between 3-9 working days for their cash. Something that is difficult to justify in a competitive market. 

Withdrawal Method	Minimum Withdrawal Limit	Maximum Withdrawal Limit	Timeframe	Fees
Visa	$50	$10000	3-9 Working Days	Free
Mastercard	$50	$10000	3-9 Working Days	Free
Visa Electron	$50	$10000	3-9 Working Days	Free
iDebit Bank Transfer	$50	$10000	2-8 Working Days	Free
Skrill	$50	$10000	Instant-4 Working Days	Free

Deposit Methods

Things get a little bit better when it comes to depositing at Ruby Fortune. 

Deposits at this site have healthy minimum and maximum limits, speedy timeframes and can be made by an increased range of methods. 

Deposits can be made from a minimum of $10 per transaction up to the maximum that is allowed by individual banking providers. Deposits that are made through most methods are completed instantly and are fee free. All of these factors mean that when it comes to deposits Ruby Fortune operates similar terms and conditions to those of the majority of its peers.

Deposit Method	Minimum Deposit Limit	Maximum Deposit Limit	Timeframe	Fee
Visa	$10	N/A	Instant	Free
Mastercard	$10	N/A	Instant	Free
Visa Electron	$10	N/A	Instant	Free
Interac	$10	N/A	Instant	Free
iDebit Bank Transfer	$10	N/A	Instant	Free
Trustly	$10	N/A	Instant	Free
Skrill	$10	N/A	Instant	Free
Neteller	$10	N/A	Instant	Free

Casino Licenses

Ruby Fortune Casino is licenced by an eclectic mix of awarding bodies. As is necessary for any online casino that wishes to be respected while operating  in multiple jurisdictions, Ruby Fortune holds a licence that has been bestowed by the Malta Gaming Authority. 

The MGA has awarded Ruby Fortune Casino’s owners, Bayton Limited, with licence MGA/B2C/145/2007.

However, Ruby Fortune Casino is not only licenced by authorities in Malta. For its Canadian players, licencing for Ruby Fortune Casino is provided to its local owning entity, Baytree Limited, by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission. It is difficult to ascertain whether licencing by this body provides widespread player protections for Canadian clients of the firm, but the Kahnawake Gaming Commission is generally regarded as being a more lenient awarding body than the MGA or the UKGC. 

MGA licencing does not offer direct protection to Kiwis who use the Ruby Fortune Casino, but it does require that Ruby Fortune should operate in accordance with local gambling laws. Therefore, this means that while operating within the New Zealand jurisdiction that Ruby Fortune must trade within the laws that are set out by the 2004 Gambling Act. 

Rewards System and VIP Treatment

One area where Ruby Fortune Casino is particularly strong is in the provision of ongoing rewards for its clients. Primarily this is achieved through the Ruby Fortune Loyalty Club. The Ruby Fortune Loyalty Club is a multi-tiered scheme that rewards players as they bet. There are five levels in total.

• Blue
• Silver
• Gold
• Platinum
• Diamond

As players progress through the tiers, they also build up their rewards. These come in the form of free credit, free spins, and competition entries.

Ruby Fortune Casino also operates a VIP scheme. For those who are invited, top rewards include faster payouts, higher withdrawal limits and entry into exclusive competitions and tournaments. Something that is well worth accessing if you get the opportunity.  

Player Protection

As a casino that is registered by the MGA, it should not be a surprise that Ruby Fortune Casino places an emphasis on responsible play. In this instance, players are provided with information about organisations that deal with problem gambling and several safe play tools. These tools include a number of session limits. Players can set up;

• Deposit Limits (Daily/Weekly/Monthly)
• Loss Limits
• Stake Limits
• Timeout Periods (24 hours – 6 weeks)
• Self-Exclusion (6 months – 5 years)

Self-Exclusion, which is designed to be used by members who feel that their gambling habits are getting out of control, can be actioned by contacting the customer service department. Customer Services can be contacted by email at Ruby Casino at [email protected] 

Winners

Ruby Fortune is not bashful when it comes to letting its customers know about the latest big wins that it has paid out and on which games these mega wins have been achieved. Indeed, Ruby Fortune Casino has even set up a rolling montage, under the heading ‘happy winners’, to draw everyone’s attention to these noteworthy events. 

From eyeing the happy winners section for a few minutes, it is easy to see that many customers of Ruby Fortune Casino have been massively lucky in recent weeks. Notable wins include,

• $3900 Jacks or Better
• $1900 Dragon Dance
• $7500 Atlantic City Blackjack
• $2500 Thunderstruck
• $2300 Magic Spell
• $4700 Rabbit in the Hat
• $13600 Mystic Dreams
• $2200 Hell’s Grannies

Keeping an updated list of big wins is certainly a good move on behalf of the casino. Any publicity that they can generate from the good fortune of their clients is only likely to be turned into profit at some point in the future.
