FAQ
Bonus & Promotions FAQ
What is the Ruby Fortune NZ welcome bonus?
Ruby Fortune offers new New Zealand players a 100% match on their first deposit up to NZ$750, plus 100 Free Spins. Deposit NZ$100 and play with NZ$200. Deposit NZ$750 and play with NZ$1,500. The minimum qualifying deposit is NZ$20. The bonus is credited automatically — no bonus code required. The 100 free spins are credited on eligible Microgaming pokies and must be used within 7 days.
What does the 50× wagering requirement actually mean?
The wagering requirement applies to the bonus amount only — not your deposit. Here is how it works in practice:
Your NZ$200 deposit is always yours and can be withdrawn at any time. Only the bonus portion is subject to wagering. Maximum bet while wagering is NZ$6.25 per spin.
Which games count toward wagering requirements?
Pokies and slots generally contribute 100% toward wagering. Table games (blackjack, roulette, baccarat) and live dealer games contribute 0% — bets on these games do not count toward clearing your bonus. Video poker typically contributes 10%. Progressive jackpot slots and the Buy Feature on pokies are usually excluded entirely. Always check the specific bonus terms in your account for the exact game contribution rates — they can vary between promotions.
How long do I have to complete wagering before the bonus expires?
All Ruby Fortune bonuses must be wagered within 7 days of being credited to your account. If you have not completed wagering when the bonus expires, the bonus balance and any bonus-derived winnings are forfeited automatically. Your original deposit balance remains untouched and is still fully withdrawable. Expired bonuses cannot be reinstated — contact support before expiry if you need assistance.
What is the maximum I can win from the welcome free spins?
Winnings from the 100 welcome free spins are subject to a NZ$100 maximum cashout. This cap applies to winnings generated from the free spins only — not to winnings made with your deposit balance or bonus balance during normal play. If your free spins winnings exceed NZ$100, only NZ$100 is retained; the remainder is forfeited. The NZ$100 is then added to your bonus balance and subject to 50× wagering before withdrawal.
Can I withdraw my deposit before completing wagering?
Yes. Your deposit is always your money. You can contact support at any time and request that the bonus be forfeited — this removes the wagering requirement and frees up your deposit balance for immediate withdrawal. Be aware that when you forfeit a bonus, any winnings generated using that bonus balance are also forfeited. If you are close to completing wagering, it may be worth finishing before requesting withdrawal.
Are there ongoing bonuses for existing NZ players?
Yes. Ruby Fortune sends regular reload bonuses and free spins offers to active NZ players via email and in the My Bonuses section of your account. These typically include weekly reload bonuses on specific days, free spins on featured pokies, and tournament invitations. Bonus frequency and value increase with your VIP loyalty tier. Check your email and account dashboard every Monday for new weekly offers.
Deposits & Withdrawals FAQ
How long does a Ruby Fortune withdrawal take in NZ?
| Method | Processing Time | Fees |
| Visa / Mastercard | 3–5 business days | Free |
| Bank Transfer | 3–7 business days | Free |
| MuchBetter | 24–48 hours | Free |
| Note: Up to 72-hour internal review before payout is submitted to the payment processor. | ||
Why is my withdrawal pending / not processed?
The most common reasons for withdrawal delays are: (1) KYC verification is incomplete — you must verify your identity before your first withdrawal. Go to Account Settings → Verification. (2) An active bonus balance is attached to your account — if you have a bonus you haven’t wagered or forfeited, withdrawal may be restricted. (3) Your account details don’t match your KYC documents. (4) The withdrawal is within the standard 72-hour review window. Contact Live Chat if your withdrawal has not moved after 72 hours.
What is the minimum and maximum withdrawal amount?
The minimum withdrawal at Ruby Fortune is NZ$10. The maximum per transaction is NZ$4,000, with a weekly maximum of NZ$10,000. VIP players may have higher limits — contact your account manager or support to discuss elevated limits if you are a high-volume player. There are no withdrawal fees charged by Ruby Fortune; your bank may charge their own fees for incoming international transfers.
What documents do I need for KYC verification?
Ruby Fortune requires three types of documentation: Government photo ID (NZ Passport, NZ Driver’s Licence, or national ID card), Proof of address (utility bill, bank statement, or council rates notice dated within 3 months), and Payment method verification (photo of your card — front and back, middle 8 digits masked — or bank statement showing your name). Submit via Account Settings → Verification. Standard review takes 24–48 business hours. Complete this before making your first withdrawal to avoid delays.
Can I deposit and withdraw in NZD?
Yes. Ruby Fortune accepts New Zealand Dollars natively. There is no currency conversion and no exchange rate fees when you deposit or withdraw NZD. Your account balance, bonus amounts, and payouts are all displayed and processed in NZD. This is one of the main reasons we recommend Ruby Fortune to NZ players — many casinos force NZD through AUD or USD conversion, which costs you money.
Can I cancel a withdrawal request?
Yes, during the pending review period (up to 72 hours) you can cancel a withdrawal request and the funds return to your casino balance. Once the withdrawal has been submitted to the payment processor, it cannot be reversed. We strongly advise against cancelling pending withdrawals unless absolutely necessary — the money will go back into your account balance and the temptation to gamble it away is real. If you find yourself repeatedly cancelling withdrawals, this may be a sign to use the loss limit tools.
Slots & Pokies FAQ
How many pokies does Ruby Fortune have for NZ players?
Over 500 slot and pokie games are available to New Zealand players at Ruby Fortune. The library includes classic 3-reel fruit machines, 5-reel video slots with multi-level bonus rounds, Megaways titles with up to 117,649 ways to win, progressive jackpot pokies, and bonus buy slots. New titles are added monthly from providers including Microgaming, NetEnt, Play’n GO, and Pragmatic Play.
What is the best RTP pokie at Ruby Fortune NZ?
The highest RTP slots at Ruby Fortune are Mega Joker (98.9% in Supermeter mode), Jackpot 6000 (98.8%), and Blood Suckers by NetEnt (98.0%). These are the best choices if you want to stretch your welcome bonus during wagering — the lower house edge means your balance lasts significantly longer. For video pokies, Immortal Romance (96.86%) and Thunderstruck II (96.65%) offer the best RTP combined with entertaining features.
Are the pokies fair? Can the casino change the RTP?
Yes, they are certified fair. All Ruby Fortune games use eCOGRA-certified Random Number Generators (RNG) that are independently audited. The published RTP percentages are verified over millions of rounds. Ruby Fortune runs third-party games from certified providers — they cannot alter the RTP of these games. Each spin is completely independent of every previous spin. The casino has no ability to make a game “tighter” or “looser” for individual accounts.
What is the minimum bet on pokies at Ruby Fortune?
Minimum bets vary by game but start as low as NZ$0.01 per spin on classic slots. Most video pokies start at NZ$0.10–0.25 per spin. Megaways games typically start at NZ$0.20. Progressive jackpot games like Mega Moolah require a minimum of NZ$0.25, though higher bets increase your probability of triggering the jackpot bonus wheel. Maximum bets reach up to NZ$125 on some titles.
Has anyone from NZ won the Mega Moolah jackpot?
Yes. New Zealand and Australian players have won Mega Moolah multiple times since the game launched in 2006. The Oceanic region regularly produces winners due to the game’s global player pool. Microgaming does not always publish winner locations by country, but the game’s average jackpot win has been NZ$6–8M historically. The jackpot must pay before reaching approximately NZ$10M based on historical patterns — it has never gone past that threshold without triggering.
Can I play pokies for free before depositing?
Yes. Most Ruby Fortune pokies are available in Demo mode without registration or deposit. Click any game and select “Play for Fun” to spin with virtual credits. The demo uses identical RNG and probabilities to real-money play. Progressive jackpot games (Mega Moolah etc.) are not available in demo mode — real-money bets are required to contribute to and win the jackpot. Demo mode is the best way to learn a game before betting NZD.
Account & Registration FAQ
How do I create a Ruby Fortune account in NZ?
Registration takes under 2 minutes. Click any “Register” or “Sign Up” button on this site, which takes you to the official Ruby Fortune registration page. You will need: a valid email address, a password, your full legal name, date of birth, residential address, and phone number. All information must be accurate and match your identity documents. You must confirm you are 18+ and agree to the Terms and Conditions. The welcome bonus is credited automatically after your first qualifying deposit.
Can I have more than one Ruby Fortune account?
No. Ruby Fortune strictly enforces a one account per person policy — enforced per household, device, and IP address. Creating duplicate accounts to claim the welcome bonus multiple times is a breach of Terms and results in all accounts being closed and winnings forfeited. If you have forgotten your login details, use the “Forgot Password” option or contact support. Do not create a new account.
I forgot my password — how do I log back in?
Click “Forgot Password” on the login screen and enter your registered email address. A password reset link will be sent within a few minutes. Check your spam folder if it doesn’t arrive in your inbox. The reset link expires after 60 minutes — if it expires, request a new one. If you no longer have access to the email address registered to your account, contact Ruby Fortune Support via Live Chat with your registered name and date of birth for identity verification.
How do I close my account?
Contact Ruby Fortune Support via Live Chat or email and request account closure. Ensure you withdraw any remaining real-money balance before requesting closure — bonus funds will be forfeited. Your account will be closed within 24 hours of confirmation. If you are closing your account because of a gambling problem, please request self-exclusion instead of account closure — self-exclusion provides stronger protections and is harder to reverse, which is important for your long-term wellbeing.
How do I update my personal details (address, email, phone)?
Log in to your account and navigate to Account Settings → Personal Details. You can update your phone number and email address directly. Address changes may require supporting documentation (updated proof of address) for security purposes. If you cannot update a field yourself, contact Live Chat support who can make the change after identity verification. Keep your details current — outdated information can delay KYC approval and withdrawal processing.
Mobile & App FAQ
Is there a Ruby Fortune casino app to download in NZ?
Ruby Fortune does not have a native app available on the App Store or Google Play. Instead, it operates as a Progressive Web App (PWA) — you visit the site in Safari (iOS) or Chrome (Android), and optionally add it to your home screen for app-like one-tap access. No download or storage space is required. The mobile experience is identical to the desktop in terms of game availability, bonus access, and deposit/withdrawal functionality.
How do I add Ruby Fortune to my home screen on iPhone?
Open Safari and navigate to rubyfortune-casinonz.com. Tap the Share icon (box with an arrow pointing up) at the bottom of your screen. Scroll down and tap “Add to Home Screen”. Tap “Add” in the top right corner. The Ruby Fortune icon will appear on your home screen. Tap it to launch the casino in full-screen mode, just like a native app. This works on iPhone 6S and newer running iOS 13+.
Which Android phones are compatible?
Ruby Fortune works on any Android device running Android 8.0 or later using Chrome, Firefox, or Samsung Internet. This covers the vast majority of smartphones made since 2017, including Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, OnePlus, Xiaomi, and Oppo. To add to your home screen on Android: open Chrome → tap the 3-dot menu → select “Add to Home Screen” → confirm. The same steps work on most Android browsers.
Are all games available on mobile or is the selection reduced?
The full 500+ game library is available on mobile for NZ players. A small number of older Flash-based games are not compatible with mobile browsers, but all modern Microgaming, NetEnt, Play’n GO, and Pragmatic Play titles are fully touch-optimised. Live dealer games stream in HD on 4G and WiFi connections. The Buy Feature on bonus slots is also available on mobile. In our testing, mobile and desktop game availability are virtually identical.
Can I deposit and withdraw on my phone?
Yes. Deposits and withdrawals are fully functional through the mobile site. The Cashier section on mobile mirrors the desktop version — select your payment method, enter your amount, and confirm. NZD deposits via Visa, Mastercard, bank transfer, and MuchBetter all work on mobile. For bank transfer, you will be redirected to your bank’s mobile app or website to complete the payment. Biometric login (Face ID / fingerprint) is also supported on compatible devices.
Safety & Legal FAQ
Is Ruby Fortune legal in New Zealand?
Yes. New Zealand’s Gambling Act 2003 prohibits operators from offering online casino games without a NZ licence, but does not prohibit New Zealand players from accessing licensed offshore casinos. Ruby Fortune operates under a valid international gaming licence and legally accepts NZ players. No NZ player has ever been prosecuted for playing at an offshore licensed casino. This is the same legal framework that has allowed NZ players to access offshore online gambling sites for over two decades.
Is Ruby Fortune a scam? Is it legitimate?
Ruby Fortune is a legitimate, established online casino. It has operated since 2003 — over 20 years — under a valid gaming licence, uses eCOGRA-certified games, and has paid out millions in verified player winnings including documented progressive jackpot wins. It operates within the Fortune Lounge Group, one of the oldest casino groups in the online gambling industry. While no casino is perfect, Ruby Fortune has a track record of paying withdrawals to NZ players in a reasonable timeframe and maintaining fair game conditions.
Is my personal and financial data safe?
Ruby Fortune uses 256-bit SSL encryption for all data transmission — the same standard used by major NZ banks. Your payment card details are processed by a PCI-DSS compliant payment processor and are not stored on Ruby Fortune servers. Player funds are held in accounts segregated from company operating funds, meaning your balance is protected even in a worst-case business scenario. Account access is protected by password and optional biometric authentication.
What licence does Ruby Fortune hold?
Ruby Fortune holds a gaming licence issued by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) — one of the most respected and stringent gambling regulatory bodies in the world. MGA-licensed casinos must maintain responsible gambling tools, segregate player funds, use certified RNG games, publish accurate bonus terms, and submit to regular compliance audits. You can verify the licence directly on the MGA website at mgamalta.com by searching for Ruby Fortune. The eCOGRA certification for game fairness is independently issued and renewed annually.
VIP & Loyalty FAQ
How does the Ruby Fortune loyalty program work?
Every real-money spin on eligible games earns loyalty points. Points accumulate and unlock VIP tiers — Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. Higher tiers offer better benefits: increased cashback percentages, higher weekly withdrawal limits, exclusive reload bonuses, priority support response times, and at the highest levels, a dedicated personal account manager. Points are earned automatically; no opt-in required. Check your current tier and points balance in the My Account → Loyalty section.
Do loyalty points expire?
Loyalty points expire if there is no account activity (deposits or real-money gameplay) for a defined period — typically 6 to 12 months of inactivity. The exact expiry policy is detailed in the VIP terms in your account. Active players never need to worry about expiry. If you are taking a break and are concerned about point expiry, log in and contact support who can advise on your specific situation. Self-excluded players’ points are suspended during the exclusion period.
Are there exclusive bonus codes for existing NZ players?
Yes. Existing players receive personalised reload bonus codes and free spins offers via email and in their account dashboard. These are distinct from the public welcome bonus and are tailored based on your play history and VIP tier. Higher-tier players receive more generous and more frequent offers. Ruby Fortune also runs seasonal promotions (Christmas, New Year, etc.) with dedicated bonus codes for existing players. Check your email and the Promotions section of your account regularly.
Responsible Gambling FAQ
How do I set deposit limits at Ruby Fortune?
Log in to your account and go to Account Settings → Responsible Gambling → Deposit Limits. Set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit in NZD. The limit activates immediately. Reducing a limit takes effect instantly. Increasing a limit requires a mandatory 24-hour waiting period — this cooling-off protects you from impulsive decisions. We recommend setting a monthly deposit limit before your first session, not after.
How do I self-exclude from Ruby Fortune immediately?
Contact Ruby Fortune Live Chat or email support and say “I want to self-exclude”. Tell them the period — 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanent. Self-exclusion activates immediately. Your account is locked, all marketing emails stop, and you cannot access the casino during the exclusion period. This cannot be undone during the exclusion period. Any remaining real-money balance will be returned to you after KYC verification. You can also use third-party tools like Gamban to block gambling sites on all your devices.
What other responsible gambling tools are available?
Ruby Fortune offers a full suite of player protection tools in Account Settings: Deposit limits (daily, weekly, monthly — immediate effect), Loss limits (cap how much you can lose per period), Session time limits (auto-logout after set duration), Reality check alerts (popup every 30–90 minutes showing time and spend), Cooling-off periods (24-hour to 90-day account pause), and Self-exclusion (full account closure). All tools are free and activate immediately.
I’m worried about someone else’s gambling — what can I do?
The NZ Problem Gambling Helpline (0800 654 655) supports family members and friends of problem gamblers — not just the gamblers themselves. Counsellors can advise you on how to approach the conversation, how to protect household finances, and how to look after your own wellbeing in this situation. You can also visit gamblinghelpline.co.nz for online chat support and resources specifically for family members. You are not alone, and the helpline is free.
