Rabona is an online betting site launched in 2019. In a short time, the bookmaker has made big strides in its operating of the sportsbook. In addition to accepting players from India and Indian currency, Rabona sportsbook features an impressive range of cricket betting markets.
The website is owned and operated by Araxio Development N.V., a company based in Curacao and holds a license from the Government of Curacao.
The betting site welcomes new players with a 100% welcome sports bonus of up to ₹8000 on the first deposit.
Your first deposit amount needs to be a minimum of ₹1600 to qualify for the welcome bonus.
Also, you must play through the full amount of the first deposit at least once at odds of 1.50 or higher to qualify for the bonus. In other words, if your first deposit amount is ₹2000, then you must wager a total of ₹2000 in bets with odds of 1.50 or higher.
To be able to withdraw the bonus and any winnings associated with it, you need to wager your bonus and deposit amount 6 times on single sports bets with odds of at least 2.00 or multi bets with odds of 1.50 per selection.
Rabona is a newly launched betting site with a license from Curacao. A good looking website with a smooth user interface, efficient design, and a long list of payment methods, Rabonda has a lot to offer. RuPay, Mobikwik, PayTM, and GPay are some of the popular Indian banking methods available at Rabona. While cricket betting or betting, in general, is illegal in India, there is no law that prohibits online gambling. Hence, Indian bettors can enjoy betting on the wide range of cricket betting markets offered at Rabona. In addition to cricket betting, Rabona also offers great variety in horse racing markets as well.
With around 500 reviews, Rabona Trustpilot profile has a TrustScore of 3.5. While 54% of the total reviews are in the ‘excellent’ category, the betting site has replied to just 11% of their negative reviews. Most of the good reviews have talked of a good overall betting experience while the negative ones are more specific and talk about hassles involved in the withdrawal process. Slow payout and verification process are among the top complaints from bettors on Rabona.
The sleek and smooth user interface coupled with a smart design makes the signup process at Rabona fast and hassle-free.
To open the registration form, click the Create an account button on the Rabona homepage.
In the first step of the process, you will need to enter your email address and set up your username and password for your account.

In the next and final step, enter your personal and address information. Your account will be opened with Rabona as you hit the Create an account button at bottom of the page after filling in all the details.
You will then be displayed a pop-up showing all the available payment methods prompting you to make your first deposit.|
You can either choose one of these payment methods and proceed to make your first deposit or close the pop-up and take a tour of the sportsbook to get yourself acquainted with the website.

Rabona supports the following payment methods for making a deposit –
A total of 17 payment methods are accepted at Rabon for making a deposit. Most importantly, the bookmaker is among the very few online betting sites in India to accept RuPay cards.
To make your first deposit, choose your preferred payment method. Here, for example, we select RuPay.
|
As you can see in the above screenshot, the minimum amount you can deposit using RuPay is ₹500.
Remember that the minimum first deposit amount required to qualify for the 100% sports welcome bonus is ₹1600.
This may seem a bit odd since we chose the RuPay payment method to begin with and the website eventually directed us to a payment gateway that features NetBanking, UPI, and GPay payment methods.
After having tested other payment methods too, GPay, Paytm, and PhonePe emerge as the best options for Indian players.
The same payment methods are available for making a withdrawal as well.

You simply need to shift to the Withdrawal tab in the payment pop-up.
Choose your preferred payment method and proceed to withdraw money from your account.
