READYtoBET Sports Review

Not Approved by SBO.net

READYtoBET Summary

This casino has closed in January, 2020. Have a look at our best betting sites!

READYtoBET Sports was established in 2014 and is operated by Red Melon Ltd under a license provided by the Malta Gaming Authority. That makes it a relatively young bookie, but it is aiming to entice customers across Europe by offering a diverse range of sports betting, attractive bonuses and rewards, and good customer service; all wrapped up in a slick website with a host of features.

Sports bettors are spoilt for choice these days and bookmakers have to go that little bit further to stand out from the crowd. READYtoBET has pitched its services at the discerning sports punter by offering a staggering range of markets on a variety of sporting events, as well as comprehensive on-site stats to assist customers in selecting the best bets. Various languages, a choice of deposit options and ongoing rewards programmes mean that this bookmaker warrants further inspection, and our review will take you through the pros and cons of betting at READYtoBET.

Sign Up and Reward Bonuses

Let’s start with the promotions and see what’s on offer. When you sign up you can claim a welcome offer of 50% of your initial deposit, up to €100. That’s not the most generous opening promotion we’ve ever seen, but it’s better than the average welcome bonus, and isn’t the hardest to rollover. The €100 in bonus funds must be gambled 8 times at odds of 1.8 or higher before any of it is available to withdraw. Once again there are some easier offers to play through out there, but this is nowhere near as prohibitive as some sites which require a 50x playthrough.

Ongoing rewards are a great way for a bookie to retain customers and keep them coming back. READYtoBET is following that blueprint by offering regular rewards for repeat customers such as birthday bonuses, first monthly deposit bonuses, and cashback rewards.

Betting on the Move

One slight disappointment we found with READYtoBET Sports is that there is no dedicated mobile app. That may only bother a selection of our readers though, and we should point out that the optimised mobile app is accessible on any phone, device or tablet via the web browser.

The website itself is very nicely laid out and easy to follow, with a great deal of attention paid to the user-interface and site navigation. When you enter the sports section you are immediately greeted with live events and odds, a selection of the day’s sporting highlights, and a list of all upcoming events. These can each be filtered by game, while there’s a handy 7-day menu above which allows you to peruse the odds for all sporting events for each day over the coming week.

A left-hand menu list all the sports available for wagering, with a search function, the option to look at daily, 3-day or weekly markets, and the ability to bookmark your favourites ready for the next time you visit the site.

Sports and Betting Options

The range of sports to wager on at this book is outstanding, and avid punters will not be disappointed. You’d expect to see soccer, motor racing, and American football betting on any gambling site, but there are also markets for less popular sports such as handball, cycling, ice hockey and Winter sports.

The depth of markets is very good too. Soccer betting covers a whole range of leagues from all over the world, including markets on lower league and amatuer games. Stats are the area that really makes READYtoBET Sports stand out, with comprehensive pre-match stats on site for every event, and excellent in-play animations and stats to help you follow the action.

Deposits and Withdrawals

READYtoBET offer a good choice of deposit options, but the first thing to point out is that there is a 2% fee for depositing by credit card. That’s quite unusual among online bookmakers, so it’s worth using an e-wallet such as Neteller to avoid such charges.

Deposits are quick and easy but withdrawing funds can be a little more difficult. The first withdrawal per month is free, but a 2% charge is placed on any subsequent cash outs over the monthly period. That’s fine if you tend to withdraw in bulk, but punters who like to make frequent withdrawals to keep their cash flowing may be disappointed. Withdrawal request are processed within 1-3 working days, but can take up to 3 business days to clear for e-wallets, 5 days for credit cards, and up to 7 days for bank wires.

There’s no phone number to contact customer services, so the only option is email or live chat – with chat available Monday to Friday between the hours of 11am and 8pm CET. There is also a good FAQ section on the website which deals with most regular queries.

Our Final Thoughts

READYtoBET Sports is a good solid bookmaker despite being new to the market. The range of markets is great, they offer a generous welcome bonus and ongoing rewards, and the website is very easy on the eye. The downside is that some deposit and withdrawal options are subject to fees, and customer service is not 24 hour.
