Editors’ View
Rhino.bet is very new to the world of online betting with just over three years of experience under its belt. So, it’s not that surprising that there’s still some work to be done in terms of offering more sports, a greater number of payment options, livestreaming, and a couple more methods of getting in touch with Customer Service.
But that’s not to say they haven’t done some good work already with a well-designed site, decent odds, a good Bet Builder product and a few other impressive betting features. Read our Rhino.bet review to find out more.
General Information and Safety Details About Rhino.bet
Founded in 2021, Rhino.bet is operated by Playbook Gaming Limited, a London-based company. Alongside sportsbook, Rhino.bet customers can also play casino, live casino, virtuals and Bingo games. To offer those different gambling products, it holds the UK Gambling Commission Licence.
Rhino.bet customer reviews are mostly very positive with customers satisfied with the odds on offer, some decent betting features and their live betting product, while feeling it’s a betting site they can trust in terms of safety and trustworthiness.
Rhino.bet Payments and Withdrawals
It’s that time in our Rhino.bet review to look at what you need to do in terms of getting your money in and out of the site.
There are two currencies which you can deposit in: British Pounds and Euros. Customers should be aware that, once they select one of these currencies, they won’t be able to change their selection at a later date.
There are five payment methods available for depositing: Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, bank transfer and cheque. Deposits made with any of the debit cards are instant while a bank transfer will take 1-3 business days and a cheque as much as 5-10 business days given you’d need to post it before it’s received, and processed, at Rhino.bet’s end. The minimum deposit is £10 for all methods.
In terms of Rhino.bet withdrawal options, all of the depositing methods can also be used to get your money out, with the exception of a bank cheque, as that obviously wouldn’t be practical. It’s the same minimum of £10 for withdrawals as it is for deposits, with all methods expected to take 2-5 business days before the money reaches you.
Though debit cards are popular, safe and easy to use, we’d prefer to see a few more payment options if possible, including a couple of e-wallets like PayPal and Neteller. Most new sports betting sites offer those with customers appreciating the speed, convenience and greater anonymity that comes with using them.
Rhino.bet Customer Service and User Experience
Next up in our Rhino.bet bookie review let’s consider the user experience side of things.
As with all online betting sites, opening a Rhino.bet account involves providing some personal details like your name, postal address and date of birth. You’ll also need to choose a unique username and password that you’ll need to enter as part of the Rhino.bet login process.
While using the site as part of our Rhino.bet Sportsbook review, we found that everything on the site was easy to find and organised in a logical way. From the point of going through the Rhino.bet log in it shouldn’t take you more than a few seconds to find the market and process your wager.
In terms of the Rhino.bet app review, we liked what we saw with the stand-alone app, available both for Android and iOS. It’s easy enough to download, as well as quick and user-friendly when it comes to actually using it. Customers can also choose to use the web browser version on their mobiles (instead of the app), which is absolutely fine, too.
In terms of Customer Service, it’s fair to say there’s a little bit of work still to be done. Though you can reach them via social media (Twitter/Facebook) and e-mail, they don’t currently offer a phone line. Even more unusual, they don’t offer support via Live Chat, either.
What may help you answer some of your queries without having to resort to getting in touch with CS at all is their set of FAQs, especially for such things as depositing and withdrawing.
Rhino.bet’s Best Offers
The current Rhino.bet sign up offer allows new customers to claim a free bet worth £10 when placing a qualifying bet for £25 at odds of 2.0 (evens) or greater. Rhino.bet betting rules state that you’ll need to use your Rhino.bet bonus within seven days of being awarded it or else it will expire.
Other than the welcome bonus, promos at Rhino.bet are a bit thin on the ground. The exception to that are daily price boosts offered on the likes of football, tennis and darts events. You can find all available boosted odds by clicking on ‘Price Boosts’ on the left-hand side of the homepage above where all the sports are listed.
Betting Features Available at Rhino.bet
Playing at Rhino.bet online isn’t just about placing sports bets like you would at a land-based betting shop. The site’s betting features are extras that add to the overall experience and are an important part of playing here. Our Rhino.bet review highlighted these as some of the best ones:
- Good in-play betting product with most of the events offered for pre-match betting also available for live betting. They don’t have quite as many in-play markets as other sites, but they cover all the most popular markets and update their odds quickly, which is vital.
- Cash-out betting is available across numerous betting markets on plenty of sports and works well, with the Cash Out offers being decent.
- You can place accas with as many selections in them as you want, whether they’re from the same sport, or different sports.
There’s a decent blog with useful information about betting-related matters, from how to play certain markets to previews of big upcoming sporting events, which is also a nice thing to have.
Most Popular Sports at Rhino.bet
As is the case with most betting sites the world over, and especially the UK-focused ones, football is the most popular sport here. So, it’s no surprise that just about every professional game in the world being played is offered here to bet on. One thing that impressed us was their Bet Builder product that allows you to include selections from lots of different football markets, which is called Build-A-Bet here, though players should be aware that as per the Rhino.bet betting rules, there’s no guarantee you can use Cash Out on them.
Football aside, the likes of horse racing, tennis, cricket and the US Sports are also extremely popular among Rhino.bet customers, though we note they don’t offer some sports such as Gaelic Sports, surfing and chess, in addition to also not bothering with eSports.
Rhino.bet’s Commitment to Responsible Gambling
As is the case with any Sportsbook worth its salt, responsible gambling is something they take seriously. If you click on the Responsible Gambling link at the bottom of the homepage, it will take you to a page with information on: maintaining control, assessing whether you may have a gambling problem, how to set yourself deposit limits, the importance of taking a break while playing, how to self-exclude and how underage gambling is to be avoided at all costs; and what Rhino.bet do to prevent it.
The section also provides links to Counselling Organisations like Gam Care and Gamblers Anonymous.
Final Verdict on Rhino.bet
As we said in the introduction, these are still early days for a new sportsbook that’s made a good start but will need to add, or improve, in a few areas. It would be almost impossible to have a betting site ticking every box after less than three years of existence.
Still, it’s a competitive world out there when it comes to online betting sites and they’ll quickly need to improve on their welcome offer, future offers, Customer Service availability and number of sports covered if they really want to compete with some of the biggest names.
When they do so, our Rhino.bet ratings for them will surely go up. But for now, they’re a good, slightly no-frills, easy-to-use sportsbook that will appeal to customers who like to keep things relatively simple.
