Ruby Bingo reserves the right
to change the terms and conditions of these offers at
any time. It is your responsibility to periodically
check here for changes and updates.
Ruby Bingo has a generous bonus
scheme but it is important that you understand how it
works. If you are a regular player at Ruby Bingo, you
will receive three types of bonus. Deposit bonuses,
which are awarded when you make a deposit, Chat Game
Bonuses, which are awarded when you win one of our regular
Chat games and Promotional bonuses.
Ruby Bingo has one of the most
generous bonus programs for loyal players. Your bonuses
can be used to play bingo - but all your prizes and
jackpots are paid in pure cash. Here's how the best
bonus system in the business works:
Deposit using your Credit Card
and we'll give you 100% bonus on your first deposit
and 50% on every deposit you make after that. Use any
other payment method and we'll give you an extra 10%
bonus on top of this....that's 110% on first deposits
and 60% after that.
For example:
- If your first deposit
is $30, we'll add an extra $33 to your bonus account.
- If you make a subsequent
deposit of $30, we'll add an extra $18 to your bonus
account.
The maximum bonus on deposits
using Credit Card is $100. The maximum bonus on deposits
using any other payment method is $120 .
PLEASE NOTE:
- The First Deposit Bonus
is limited to one bonus per new player. Existing account
holders are not eligible. Deposit bonuses are paid
into your Bonus Balance, but have to be redeemed by
purchasing bingo cards or playing the in-game Slots
or Scratch Cards. (See "How it
Works" below).
- Funds which are redeposited
into your account following reversal of a withdrawal
do not qualify for a deposit bonus.
Bonuses that you earn in the
Chat Room will be paid into your Bonus Balance and can
be used immediately. You can only qualify for Chat Bonuses
if you are playing in the current bingo game and you
are actively in chat. Players who have not purchased
cards, will not be entitled to receive Chat Bonuses.
Referral Bonuses will be paid
into your Bonus Balance and can be used immeadiately.
(See "How it Works" below).
Birthday Bonuses are given
to loyal players at the discretion of our staff and
can be used immediately. Bear in mind that cash will
always be used before any bonus money.
Signup Bonuses are given to
new players to enable them to try the games before making
a purchase. These bonuses are subject to the following
rules:
Players cannot withdraw any
money from Ruby Bingo unless they have made a successful
deposit into their Ruby Bingo account. Non depositors
who want to withdraw must deposit and play out at least
$20 by purchasing bingo cards before their withdrawal
will be processed. E.g. A non depositing player wants
to withdraw $15 won by playing from using a 'free signup
bonus' - they must deposit $20 and then buy bingo cards
for at least $20 before the original $15 withdrawal
will be processed. For withdrawals over $20 the equivalent
figure must be deposited and played out by purchasing
bingo cards before the withdrawal will be processed.
E.g. A non depositing player wants to withdraw $80 won
by using a 'free signup bonus' to play in a normal 'pay
to play' game - they must deposit $80 and then spend
$80 on bingo cards before the original $80 withdrawal
will be processed. Players who have deposited into their
Ruby Bingo account prior to winning are not subject
to these additional Signup Bonus terms.
Any bonuses for which specific
terms are not quoted will have to be redeemed before
they can be used for play. (See "How
it Works" below).
Your account at Ruby Bingo
has two main balances which are visible at the bottom
right of your screen.
| Balance |
This
is your Cash Balance and is where all your deposits
and your winnings will be credited. |
| Bonus
Balance |
This is where all your bonus money is paid. If
you "hover" over the Bonus Balance,
a pop-up window will show you the breakdown of
your Bonus Balance as follows:
- Bonus money available for play (Remember,
that any cash in your Balance is used before
Bonus money.)
- Bonus money that has to be redeemed before
it can be used for play.
|
- When you receive a bonus for a Chat Game or a referral,
it will be paid into your Bonus Balance and can be
used immediately to buy bingo cards.
Remember, that any cash in your Balance is used
before your Bonus money.
- All deposit bonuses and some promotional bonuses
have to be redeemed before they can be used for play.
These bonuses are redeemed by purchasing bingo cards
or playing the in-game Slots or Scratch Cards. As
you purchase bingo cards or play on the in-game Slots
and Scratch cards, this bonus money is redeemed at
the rate of 50% of the wager.
e.g. if you spend $2 on bingo
cards, in-game slots or scratchers,, $1 of any unredeemed
bonus money will be redeemed.
- Bonus money cannot be cashed out and remains the
property of Ruby Bingo.
Please note that if you withdraw funds, any bonus
money in your Bonus Balance that has not been redeemed
will be removed. If you do not wish to lose these
bonuses, we recommend that you add sufficient funds
to purchase cards so that you can redeem bonus money
into your Bonus Balance before making the withdrawal.
A detailed breakdown of the funds in your Bonus
Balance can be seen by moving the cursor over the
Bonus Balance in the game.
Why
can't I buy any cards when I have money in my bonus
balance?
This means that you have used
your cash balance and all your Playable Bonus Funds.
The funds remaining in your Bonus Balance have not yet
been redeemed. If you hover the mouse cursor over the
Bonus Balance display in the game, a pop-up will tell
you how much of your bonus balance is playable and how
much is waiting to be redeemed by the purchase of cards
or by play on the in-games slots/scratchers. In order
to redeem more funds into your Bonus Balance, you will
have to make a deposit so that you can purchase more
cards or play more games on the in-game Slots/Scratchers.
Every $1 you spend on bingo cards, Scratchers or in-game
Slots releases $0.50 from your Non-Playable Bonus into
your Playable Bonus.
Why can't I play Captain's Treasure?
There is money in my bonus balance?
The slot games accessed via
the "More Games" button can only be played for cash.
Chinese Kitchen, Gold Rally, Jacks or Better, Captain's
Treasure, Goblin's Cave, Ocean Princess, Highway Kings,
Vacation Station, Keno, Cinerama, Megaball, Fruit Mania
and American Roulette.
Why has all my bonus money been
removed after I withdrew my winnings?
When you make a withdrawal
any funds in your Bonus Balance that have not been redeemed
are removed. If you do not wish to lose this bonus money,
you can first "release" it by purchasing bingo cards
or playing the in-games slots/scratchers. Remember,
every $1 you spend on bingo cards, Scratchers or in-game
Slots releases $0.50 from your Non Playable Bonus Balance
into your Playable Bonus Balance.
This example shows how the
bonus balances are adjusted in a typical sequence of
play.
