Rabona

Quality odds, a wide selection of markets, excellent customer support. All these things differentiate Rabona sportsbook from other bookmakers on the market.

Rabona Review

Rabona sportsbook is one of the newly established sportsbooks with many qualities to offer to its users. This brand was founded in 2019 by the well-known iGaming company, Soft2Bet. In addition to this brand, Soft2Bet also owns several different sportsbooks and online casinos, such as Malina Casino, CampoBet, Wazamba, and Nomini. 

If it turns out that Rabona is only half the quality product as other sites from the Soft2Bet portfolio, players can be sure of several things – they will play in a safe environment on a site that is modern and as user-friendly as possible.

At the very beginning of this review, it’s worth noticing that, although the Rabona brand is primarily designed as an online sportsbook, this is actually an all-in-one site. Except for sports betting, the users can enjoy a solid online casino, where they can try out all the popular casino games (slots, video poker, baccarat, roulette, etc.). It’s clear that the company that owns Rabona sportsbook knows very well what it’s doing, and it’s quite fair to expect that this brand will only continue its growth.

The site itself differs from others by its extreme responsiveness. In addition to the excellent desktop version, users can also enjoy a relatively stable mobile version of the website, which works very well.

So, if you’re looking for a new company to open your account that is legal, licensed, and of high quality, Rabona sportsbook and casino should definitely get on your radar since this brand offers many qualities to its users.

Design and Navigation

When you access the Rabona online sportsbook Home page, you will find a modern site with an exciting design reminiscent of albums with stickers by the famous Italian manufacturer Panini. At first glance, it’s clear that the company’s primary focus is on the sportsbook and that the most popular sport is soccer.

The site has a dark theme with mostly dark blue shades and burgundy elements (the logo is burgundy), and the whole appearance is delightful. The name of the sportsbook and the casino itself, Rabona, stands for an attractive move in soccer, which every player can’t do. Rabona is a crossed-legged shot, and it’s challenging to do, but that’s the reason why it’s fun.

In general, the website design is very high-quality, and Rabona’s design will win you over at first glance, without a doubt. If we had to compare Rabona sportsbook with other operators on the market, we could say that it’s right up there with CampoBet and BetWinner sportsbooks.

In addition to the design itself, we always try to explain the site’s functionality and usability as well. As for the Rabona sportsbook website, the functionality is at a very high level. At the top of the screen are options for quick registration, classic registration, and log in. Below are shortcuts to sports betting, live betting, virtual sports, casino, live casino, promotions, and tournaments that this bookmaker organizes.

The central part of the screen is reserved for active promotions and the current offer of sports events at sportsbook (mainly soccer) during that day. There is no classic sports section on the left side of the Home page. Still, when you access the sports betting section, you will be able to select the sports and leagues that are currently offered.

Other special features that this site offers to its users that we have to mention are that the site is available in ten (10) languages and that the players can choose the preferred odds types and select among decimal, fractional and American odds. If you’re not sure what odds are the best and you want to learn more about types of odds, we suggest you read our article on this topic here.

In the end, it’s tough for us to find a drawback of the Rabona sportsbook when it comes to visual identity and user-friendliness. The site is pleasant to the eye and very easy to use, and it gets very high ratings in this segment.

Rabona Registration Process (Step by Step)

The registration process at Rabona sportsbook is quite simple, and an average internet user can complete it in a few minutes. When you click the ‘REGISTRATION’ button located in the upper right corner of the Home page, the browser automatically redirects you to the registration page. Now we’ll explain the whole process step by step to be able to get an idea of how easy it is to register at Rabona sportsbook:

Step 1: When the registration form opens, you need to enter a valid e-mail address, choose a username and password, and enter a promo code. The readers of the Bet Experts website have a special privilege to use a promo code and get an offer that is not often received from a bookmaker.

Step 2: In the next step, you need to fill in your data (name, surname, state, city, address, and postal code), as well as your phone number. Here you can also select the preferred betting currency, but you can do this later as well, and you can change it.

Step 3: The moment you accept the Terms and Conditions of Rabona’s website, the registration process is complete, and you need to wait for the sportsbook’s e-mail, which will contain a verification link.

Rabona Bonuses and Promotions

If you’re one of the players who are widely known as ‘Bonus Hunters,’ the Rabona sportsbook definitely will not let you down. Currently, this brand offers its customers a solid Welcome Bonus both in the sportsbook and the online casino. Additionally, there are more than 20 active promotions for regular users.

Welcome Bonus for New Customers

Every new user who is considering registering at the Rabona sportsbook for the first time can count on a more than solid welcome bonus. If you register and make your first deposit (of minimum €20), the Rabona sportsbook will award you a matched bonus of 100%, up to €100. Thus, if you deposit a minimum amount of €20, you can count on the same amount of bonus money, up to €100.

Note: To qualify for the welcome bonus, you need to roll over the deposited money at least once, and with the odds not less than 1.50.

The welcome bonus comes with specific wagering requirements. Certain rules need to be met in order for players to transfer the funds to the real-money account and withdraw it. In these wagering requirements, the deposited money plus the bonus need to be wagered at least six (6x) times, as follows:

• If you place single bets, the odds need to be at least 2.00,
• If you place combined bets, the odds need to be at least 1.50.

Also, it’s important to note that the bonus wagering requirements are valid for thirty (30) days from receiving the bonus. If you fail to meet the requirements, the bonus will be canceled, and all the money you received as a gift will be taken from your account. Last but not least is the rule that the players who deposit via electronic wallets Skrill or Neteller don’t qualify for getting the welcome bonus.

Casino Bonus

As we mentioned earlier, Rabona is also an online casino, so the users who decide to register to play fun casino games can also expect a special welcome bonus. That’s also a matched bonus on the first deposit of 100% to a maximum of €500, plus 200 free spins, which is really fantastic!

The minimum deposit amount is set to €20 as in the sportsbook, and the maximum amount is set at €500. As in the sportsbook, the players who deposit via electronic wallets Skrill or Neteller don’t have the right to get this bonus. It’s also important to note that the players receive free spins periodically – 20 free spins every day.

The wagering requirements are fair since you need to roll over the deposited and bonus amount thirty (30x) times to withdraw your winnings.

What is especially commendable is that the bonuses aren’t connected. One user can receive a welcome bonus both in the sportsbook and in the online casino.

Other Sportsbook Promotions

As for other bonuses and promotions, there are currently 11 active promotions in the sportsbook, and the most interesting are:

• Live betting moneybackpromotion, where the players can get a 50% refund if they lose their first live bet in the day,
• 50% weekly reload bonus, where the players can get a 50% matched bonus on their first re-deposit every Sunday,
• Cashback bonus with which players can get up to 10% of their lost amount in a certain period.

In addition to these promotions, you should note that the Rabona sportsbook has a very tempting VIP membership option, which comes with five levels (Beginner, Amateur, Professional, World Class, and Legend). With each new level, users receive even more benefits, ranging from a personal Account Manager to better and more lucrative bonuses and promotions, as well as periodic rewards.

The sportsbook welcome bonus looks excellent on paper, but the wagering requirements aren’t favorable. However, the promotions are fantastic, as well as a welcome bonus in the online casino, so Rabona gets quite high ratings in this segment.

RATING: 7/10

Sports Betting

It would be really frivolous from a bookmaker who forces sports so much with its appearance and name that there’s no impressive selection of sports and betting markets. Depending on the season and the timing of active sports, you can play more than 25 different sports in the Rabona sportsbook. Of course, the offer is much broader in popular sports such as soccer, basketball, and tennis. Still, bettors can also find betting markets in less popular sports such as cycling, darts, badminton, and martial arts (MMA, UFC).

Besides that, we found that this sportsbook offers increasingly popular esports, which is very positive since this is a segment of sports betting that is growing the most at the moment.

As for the offered betting markets, we can say that if you prefer betting on soccer, Rabona won’t let you down. More than 250 different betting types are available on an average soccer match, and every game offered for betting before the match can also be played in the Rabona in-play section.

In this segment, we could resent the Rabona sportsbook the market deficit in some other sports since the offer in, say, basketball is very limited.

RATING: 6/10

Odds and Margins

As for the odds quality and value, as well as the margins, we can say that Rabona adheres to the industry standard and that the margins are very fair. They range from 5% to 6% in soccer matches, while in basketball, they range from 8% to 10%, which is identical to the, say, Bet365 sportsbook.

So, even though some sportsbooks have better odds and lower margins, these sportsbooks mostly don’t offer their users some other things. For example, Marathonbet sportsbook has extremely low margins but doesn’t have a welcome bonus. Therefore, users should evaluate what’s better for them long-term – lower margins or better bonuses and promotions.

RATING: 6/10

Rabona Live Betting

If you are a fan of betting during a match, you can do it at Rabona in-play betting platform. It is one solid live betting platform with a plethora of opportunities for players. When you enter the live betting section, you’ll find a well-designed interface that players can quickly get used to.

The selection of sports and leagues is impressive, and the platform is extremely easy to use. The current offer is on the left side of the screen, and when you pick the game you want to bet on, that match switches to the central part of the screen.

The disadvantage of the in-play platform is definitely the lack of the Rabona live stream service because currently, all serious sportsbooks offer their users the live streaming feature of games they bet on. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find any live streams in the Rabona sportsbook.

RATING: 6/10

Rabona Mobile Betting

If you’re one of the on-the-go players, you will be pleased when you read that it is possible to use Rabona sportsbook and online casino on mobile devices as well. Although there are no mobile apps (for iOS and Android users) which could be considered a disadvantage, the mobile version of the site is simply fantastic and cancels out the lack of mobile apps.

It’s commendable that the developers were able to make a flawless transition from desktop to the mobile lite version, and as soon as you enter the mobile version of the site, you won’t wish for the desktop version. Not even for a moment. As a mobile website user, you have all the functionalities as desktop users. You can bet before the start of the match. During the game on the Rabona in-play mobile platform, you can bet you can receive bonuses and make deposits, and contact customer support.

In general, although there are better mobile betting apps and mobile versions of websites, betting on mobile devices on Rabona’s website is quite high-quality and entertaining.

RATING: 7/10

Payment Methods

Although it is becoming a global trend to offer users a vast number of deposit and withdrawal methods, Rabona sportsbook and online casino take a slightly more conservative position on this issue. In particular, they have only a little more than 20 deposit and withdrawal methods. Still, the important thing is that all the offered payment methods are respectable and high-quality.

The methods offered by the Rabona brand are credit and debit cards (VISA, MasterCard, and Maestro), more well-known e-Wallets (Skrill, Neteller), and other deposit methods such as EcoPayz, WebMoney, Qiwi, bank transfer, and PaySafeCard prepaid card. In addition to these classic payment methods, Rabona sportsbook also accepts the cryptocurrencies Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin.

There are six supported currencies, and the transaction time for deposits and payouts depends on the selected payment method. The rating in this segment is slightly lower because there’s a small number of withdrawal methods, and the players are sometimes forced to use a bank transfer for withdrawals.

RATING: 6/10

Customer Support

The segment in which the Rabona brand really shines through is, without a doubt, the customer support segment. Users have a large number of options for contacting customer support. This is primarily via e-mail (support@rabona.com), by phone (there are eight different numbers for different states and jurisdictions), and the live chat option available to users throughout the day.

As for the response time and customer support professionalism, we can say that they reply to e-mails during the day (usually within 2 hours), answering the phone takes about 10 to 15 minutes, while the live chat is definitely the best option. The agents are kind and sufficiently educated, and almost any problem can be solved relatively quickly.

RATING: 8/10

Betting License, Safety & Security

There’s no doubt that the Rabona sportsbook is a legal and licensed bookmaker that cares about its users’ security. First of all, it’s owned by a very respectable company with several more online casinos and sportsbooks under its umbrella. On the other hand, Rabona operates under the jurisdiction of the state of Curacao. The license itself isn’t considered one of the best, which may be a problem for some players.

On the other hand, we have not found any objections to this bookmaker, but they are too short on the market that we could make the final judgment. The sure thing is that the site uses the latest generation of SSL encryption and cooperates with independent companies that regularly check the company’s fairness towards its players.

RATING: 7/10

Conclusion & Rating

Considering that they have managed to position themselves in a very competitive market in just a few months, we believe that Rabona sportsbook is one of the brands that will undoubtedly thrive even more. There are many positives, but also some negatives related to their work. However, as there is no perfect sportsbook in the world, we believe that this brand should be in the portfolio of every serious bettor.
