As soon as you open the page you see the “Roo” mascot. The color scheme is purple and gold, with the occasional white highlight. It is stylized well with moving graphics when you hover over some buttons, making it almost look 3D or lenticular.
It is really satisfying to the eyes when you look at the site. Everything is well set up in an orderly manner. The logo is a kangaroo in a Casino chip with the name in a very basic font which brings the logo together well.
Account Setup
Creating an account with Roobet has a really easy to use function, much like the rest of the website.
You need to insert a username, email address and password. Accept that you are over 18 years old and that you accept the terms and conditions and you are ready to login. You will receive an email verification email in your registered inbox.

Games
One thing that really stands out for me with Roobet is they do not focus more on one game type than the other. We have seen this in other casinos, but Roobet openly offers the best for all gaming fanatics out there. These game types are comfortably categorised under 4 categories: Slots, Crash, Sportsbook and Live Casino
When you click on each category, it opens up a window with other options for ou to filter to the game you are looking to play at.
Slots
Here you will see 3 filtering options:
-
I’m feeling lucky - this picks a random game for you to play

Providers
Crash
They only have 1 Crash game, but it is quite a kicker. The graphics are unique to Roobet and they are quite fun. There are a few different types of rocket ships that soar through the sky. A standard one, you would imagine the earthlings created, and then a different one, which in my imagination was created by the extraterrestrials.
Sportsbook
There are many sections to this side, as you would expect with a Sportsbook. Roobet are very proud of their ambassadors, as that is the first thing you see when opening the Sportsbook. There is also a section where you can watch live Esports games. You also have a Popular and A-Z search section on the left hand side and then matches that will be starting in an hour, 3 hours, 6 hours and 24 hours. They offer the usual games, Soccer, Basketball, Tennis, Baseball, Ice Hockey, Boxing, MMA, Golf and more.
Live Dealer
Here you will find:
-
Top Picks Roo’s Lounge - these are Roobet branded Live Dealer tables
-
Game Shows
-
Table Games
One thing that I really appreciated on Roobet is that if the game is not available in your region, you are immediately made aware of this. You will receive an error message stating that the game is not available in the region. You can also see what other players have recently won on the game you are playing, which is a nice addition when choosing a game to enjoy.
Coins and Payments
In order to make a deposit with Roobet, you will need to confirm your identity.
Roobet accepts the following cryptos: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH and LTC.
Roobet accepts the following Fiat methods: Visa/MasterCard, MuchBetter and AstroPay.
-
Click on the green Deposit button found top middle center
-
Select which currency or depositing method you would like. I chose BTC for this article
-
Scan the QR code or insert the address into your wallet
-
And you are done
My deposit took 12 minutes to arrive in my account which is fantastic time.
Roobet also has a section where you can Buy Crypto through MoonPay. You can also Tip your friends in the casino by inserting their username, amount and currency type.
Withdrawing is as simple as making a deposit really. Follow these steps to process a withdrawal:
-
Click on the green Deposit button found top middle center
-
Select which currency you would like to withdraw to.
-
Insert your address and the amount you would like to withdraw. They have added the estimated transaction fee which will help you work out the expected amount.
-
Click on Withdraw Funds.
-
And you are done.
I was unable to process a withdrawal on my side, however, after some research, the average withdrawal time with Roobet is “instant” for crypto currencies, and 24 hours for Ewallets.
Customer Support
Roobet offers 24/7 Live Chat on their website. There is also a community chat available for you to use, I wouldn’t guarantee that the information you receive there to be accurate. THere is a FAQ section for general questions as well. They have Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Discord, Telegram and Spotify channels. These are more for promotional avenues but you can spot some help with their posts on those channels if you would like.
Geos and Languages
Roobet is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Serbian, Turkish, Arabic, Czech, Hindi, Japanese, Filipino, Persian, Indonesian, Finnish, Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai.
They have an extensive list of countries they are unable to accept due to licensing restrictions: Afghanistan, Albania, Aruba, Australia, Belgium, Bonaire, Cuba, Curaçao, Cyprus, Denmark, Germany, Gibraltar, Haiti, Hungary, Israel, Iran, Iraq, Lithuania, Malta, Myanmar, Netherlands, Nicaragua, North Korea, Ontario, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Saba, Saint Maarten, Saint Martin, Slovakia, South Sudan, Spain, Statia, Syria, Sweden, United States, United Kingdoms, Venezuela, Yemen, Zimbabwe. There is nothing under their terms and conditions about not being able to use a VPN, however, after some extensive research there were reports online that your account will be banned if you are found to be using a VPN. I wouldn’t chance it, to be honest, especially if you have made a deposit, or intend to do so.
Platform Compatibility
Roobet doesn’t have an app version of the casino, however, the mobile version is great! It does look and feel a bit nicer when playing in landscape mode. It responds really well and everything is as good as when playing on your laptop or desktop. I am very impressed by this.
Website Response Time
While in-game and playing on my laptop, it responded really quickly and I had no issues with waiting between pages. The same goes for the mobile version of the casino. Really quick to move through games and the graphics even responded brilliantly. Running the site through the online response tester, and surprisingly it rated it quite slow on the responding scale.
Security and Community reputation
The community is shockingly on the fence about Roobet. Trustpilot has a rating of 4.7 out of 5. AskGamblers have it at a 4.99 out of 10 stating that their lack of responsible gaming tools as their biggest downfall. CasinoGuru has it at 7.6 out of 10. Bitcointalk doesn’t have any recent threads, however, there are comets regarding the dishonesty of the casino, which might need to be investigated further.
Roobet are very specific about their account security. You are required to verify your email address on registration, and then again (it seems) when making a withdrawal. You are also required to enter your personal information when making a deposit.
Alternatives
When thinking about a casino with “everything under one umbrella” we suggest you try these casinos:
-
500Casino: this is a longstanding casino with a great community reputation. It also offers Sportsbook, Live Dealer games, Slots and Crypto Games.
-
BC.Game: this casino offers instant deposits and withdrawals, a great variety of games, and has an intuitive website design.
Conclusion
Over and above what the critics say, and the web response time tester says, I really enjoyed my time playing at Roobet. The promotions they have could use some tweaking, the welcome bonus feels a bit more like work than a welcome bonus should. The colors and fonts they have chosen to use this casino really do allow you to play for ages, and there was no point in my gaming time when I questioned the legitimacy of this casino. It looks, feels and behaves like a great casino should. Coming back to the question of whether or not they deserve the awards, I can confidently say: “Yes”. This is a great casino for new comers and the experienced folk alike. I do recommend you give Roobet a shot, but within your means, of course!
