Ruby Bingo

Ruby Bingo has recently undergone a makeover courtesy of its owner William Hill. Their new and improved online bingo site is powered by Playtech.

You can play bingo via Flash or download software at Ruby Bingo. All you need to get started is to create an account this is a pretty easy process and just involves a few personal and contact details and some other info which is optional such as your Occupation. The only downside to this process is that you don't get to choose your own username. Once you're registered Ruby Bingo will give you £16 Free Bonus to get you started.

There's loads of different ways you can fund your Ruby Bingo including Diners, Visa and MasterCard credit cards, Visa Electron, Maestro, Switch and Solo debit cards, Ukash, Abaqoos, Click2Pay, Moneybookers, ECO, Entropay, Wire card, Sofort, UseMyBank, Przelewy24, Poli, Paysafecard, NETeller, Moneta.ru, iDeal, ClickandBuy, Ticket Premium pre-pay card and PayPal. Ruby Bingo is currently offering 300% First Deposit Bonus up to £30 and 50% on reloads up to £50.

There is 75 and 90 ball bingo at Ruby as well as a selection of side/mini games like Slots and Keno. Tickets are reasonably priced from 10p and there are often BOGOFs so keep an eye out for those.

You can customise your game at Ruby Bingo by accessing the Bingo settings, you can change the bingo marker's colour and shape, you can turn off animations and 'Sort Tickets' where your tickets will be placed in order with the one closest to bingo at the top. You can also select either a male or female caller and adjust the sound via the audio settings. The bingo room is clearly laid out and typically in the red theme colours of the site. All game info you could need is clearly displayed like ticket price, prize total and number of current players. The bingo calling is traditional and fast paced; you can change your caller from male to female depending on your preference which is good. There's a selection of mini games to be played alongside your bingo such as Keno, Blackjack and Craps and if you like to chat you could try out the chat room. I found the CM really helpful and really knew her stuff and all the other players were very cheerful and really welcomed me to the game.

There are a selection of promotions at Ruby one of which is the Birthday Bonus where Ruby staff select Loyal Members on their birthdays to receive a little gift and there's weekly Hotball, just bingo on Ball 14 in any bingo room and you'll win £2 BBs. They also have BOGOFs in Happy Hour 6pm til 7pm in Cloud Nine. There are a fair amount of special promotions on at Ruby so best to check their promo page for full details.

Ruby will reward you every time you refer a friend to their new site by giving you £10, all you have to do is provide the email addresses for your friends and once they make a minimum deposit of £5 you will receive your bonus.

There's also a Loyalty Program at Ruby where you can earn points for spending on your favourite bingo and side games, you have to spend £5 on bingo or £10 on side/mini games to earn 1 point. The more points you earn the higher your loyalty level and the better your points exchange rate will be.

Ruby's makeover has vastly improved the look of the site though I did find it a little slow to log in and when trying to load pages. There's a good selection of games on offer and Ruby have some reasonable but not the most generous deposit bonuses but a fairly decent Loyalty Program. The site itself is pretty community spirited and encourages newbie’s and your bingo heads with Bingo Lingo, News and Meet your Chat Moderators pages so you always know what's going on. Overall Ruby Bingo is a good site with plenty to offer the only downside being the time it sometimes takes to change page.
