888Casino Review

Few internet casinos are as globally renowned as 888Casino. Far from being just a reputable domain, 888 is also one of the most experienced. This casino’s history stretches right back to 1997, making it one of the longest-lived internet casino sites still in operation. A global favourite, the domain offers gameplay in a surplus of languages, supports several currencies, and is owned and operated by 888 Holdings. 

888 Casino holds UK, Gibraltar and Maltese issued gambling licenses and is a stickler for adhering to responsible gaming policies. Gameplay is available via mobile or instant play platforms, and an account with 888Casino also gets players access to the other gambling domains operated by 888, which include sports betting, poker bingo and much more besides.

888Casino Bonuses and Promotions

888Casino makes itself appealing to players, on account of its notable no deposit and deposit-based welcome bonuses. These types of offers and deals are not all that 888 Casino can serve up to its members, though. There is much more available than new player deals. So, what can 888 offer its already existing members?

The casino regularly serves up four or five monthly promotions, and the good thing about the offer at this casino is that tend to be long-term bonuses. This means that players do not need to be Johnny on the spot to snap up them up.

At the time of writing, the casino provides players with up to £300 in cash monthly if they can beat the dealer on the twenty-first day. There is also a special cash bonus up for grabs (worth up to £888) for those players who sign in and deposit on the first day of each month.

On top of that, 888Casino is also home to some top-class live dealer promos. Players can win a share of £750 daily with live casino blackjack on the 888Xtra tables; they can win a share of £1,200 a day by playing at the 888VIP table in the 888 Private Room, as well as pocket an £8 bonus whenever they win on eight with live casino roulette from 8pm to 9pm GMT. Thrown in a variety of VIP and loyalty bonus deals and there is plenty for you to enjoy at 888.

888Casino Games

If there is one thing which 888Casino excels at, it is offering a variety of top games to players. Net Entertainment, Pragmatic Play, and Play ‘n Go, are amongst the top-tier providers offering games. You can also find in-house, proprietary games from 888 Gaming, as well as titles from Thunderkick, Yggdrasil Gaming, IGT, Quickspin, Big Time Gaming, Barcrest and Red Tiger Gaming. Depending on where you live, you might also stumble across Playtech and Microgaming slots. Live dealer casino games are provided by Evolution Gaming.

From the lobby, players will be able to choose from top slot games, new games, 888 exclusives, daily jackpot games, top casino games, video poker, scratch cards, selected live table games, instant win titles, and naturally, progressive jackpot slots. The navigational menus can also direct you to similar genres of casino games, as well as a few other categories.

888’s range of exclusive titles are naturally appealing. These include jackpot games such as A Nightmare on Elm Street, Noche de Los Muertos, Wild Invasion and Double Reels. 888 is home to exclusive table games like table poker, blackjack and roulette, and a handful of these games are also found in the Elite Lounge, where high rollers can take advantage of some impressive table limits to play amongst the absolute best.

Slots and jackpots form the lion’s share of 888 Casino’s 1,000+ arsenal of games. MegaWays titles such as Great Rhino: MegaWays, Flower Fortunes: MegaWays, and Piggy Riches: MegaWays have proven themselves popular with players at 888. So, too, have other slots which include The Wild Hatter, Gonzo’s Quest, Legacy of Egypt, Irish Riches and Triple Da Vinci Diamonds. Slingo games, Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead, Zeus: Ancient Fortunes, Playboy Gold, and Starburst are also worth a punt at this casino domain.

Banking

A wealth of payment methods can be used by players at this eCOGRA certified online casino. They include VISA, PayPal (for UK players), MasterCard, Interac, Neteller, Sofort, ApplePay, Trustly, online banking options and many more. Deposit times are instantaneous and free of charge to use. 888 Casino accepts a handful of different currencies. These include euros, British pound sterling, US dollars and Canadian dollars, amongst others.

It is important to note that there are transaction times of -8 days for credit and debit card cashouts at 888 Casino. Using EcoPayz, Neteller, and other e-wallets will typically see you wait 2-5 days to get hold of your winnings. Wire transfers naturally take the longest, at 5-10 days. Withdrawals are processed free of charge at this casino, which is what you would expect from such a popular internet betting site.

Customer Support

While there is no general FAQ (frequently asked questions) page, players will still find ample support options via the “help” tab. This will walk you through many different issues, including bonuses and promotions, deposits, games, login information, account problems, the registration process, technical issues, and withdrawals.

From the “help page” you can also access customer support. This is done via e-mail. Regrettably, there does not appear to be a live chat option at 888 Casino. This is almost hard to believe, considering the age, experience, and trustworthiness of the domain. Even so, the in-depth guides presented at the site ensure that you should not really need to contact customer support. 

Verdict

888 Casino is unquestionably one of the better online casinos you can choose to play at and definitely one with the most experience. Impeccably well-licensed, customisable, and user-friendly, this domain has everything you would expect from a major casino site and plenty more on top. It is globally available (save for a few countries) and comes highly recommended as a leading place to play your favourite internet casino games.

Lozzy on November 6, 2015.

I won 550 so sent My Id and bank details so I can get my money but this morning my account has been closed so I rang up they said I had to email another department about this but can take up to 72 hours I’m really not happy about this :(

Mike on October 28, 2015.

Withdrew £400 on 24th October, it’s now 28th October and they are saying I have to wait an additional 5 business days before the money will hit my account. 11 days to get my money back?

Bee smith on October 25, 2015.

I have played 888 on my mobile using the app a few times now. I find the payouts absolutely appalling. I’m annoyed with myself for keeping on depositing despite this. Bonuses are few are far between, with dismal winnings if they do eventually come up. I have played many slot sites over the years, and this is definitely the worst. Worst payout time, worst odds, worst glitches on an app. The list goes on.

Wills on October 19, 2015.

I just started using 888 again and made a deposit. I did not opt in to any deposit bonus and have had an account for years. After starting to win in live casino I tried to withdraw and found that my bankroll was different from my live casino balance. On investigation I found I had received a ” hot bonus” of £20 which was not opted into as I am aware of playthrough policies. This was applied to my account without knowledge or consent and playthrough policy now applies to any of my winnings. I later found an email from 888 saying I had received a bonus “just for being awesome!!!”. I have emailed a complaint and hope I have escaped with my £50 won before bonus was applied. Am waiting for confirmation from 888 that I will have to playthrough bonus to withdraw any winnings from further deposits.

Frank Ryan on October 4, 2015.

Today I was very fortunate in getting 3 of a kind suited on a £10 bet (21+3), the little box showed a payout of £1910. For a £10 bet (190-1) was due but when the game was finished I was astounded to see that 888 only paid out £1000. I am no stranger to blackjack payout odds and on average most online casinos pay between 200 – 270 to 1 for three of a kind suited which is extremely rare. I sent an e mail to customer services and told them that I had been underpaid, they replied about 1 hour ago and advised that they only pay 100 to 1 for three of a kind suited, so why did the little box show £1910??? Have searched everywhere to find 888 payout odds to be able to see this but cannot find them anywhere. As a true gambler I was overjoyed to get such a great hand sand would like to be able to say that getting the hand was worth more than the money but I am sure will agree it’s not.. Just be warned that 888 odds on blackjack side bets are miserable and you can get better elsewhere.

I got my free £88 free play money and won £20 which went into my 888 account.i then taken that £20 to live casino won £400 but canot withdraw this money why is this please help thanks rick

scottlayla81 on December 31, 2015.

you have to wager 30 x bonus amount for example 30x £88

Thomas on September 23, 2015.

Without knowing any details I´d say it has something to do with the wagering requirement not being met. Read the bonus T&Cs so you know what I´m talking about. It basically means that you need to wager your deposit and bonus X amount of times before being able to withdraw.

Claire on September 20, 2015.

like many people who have reviewed this casino before me, i’ve had trouble getting my winnings. i’ve tried to withdraw around £800 about a two weeks ago and all i’ve got is an email stating that 888 is working out my withdrawal. i am not impressed right now.

wazza on October 28, 2015.

hi Claire, have you finally managed to withdraw your money? I’ve spent 1000’s of ££ in 888 and finally trying to get back my money, i’ve just made a couple of withdrawals today. But i’m not sure how long its going to take. They say it’s 5-7 working days on their help page. How did you get along?

bjcs333 on September 14, 2015.

Won the jackpot twice on my first go had to spend it to qualify for withdraw then on my last 3 spins won 1000 but was only allowed to keep 500 lol anyway I am happy as I got it up to 700 and I’m looking forward for a hopefully problem free withdraw been waiting 5 days now on visa anyone else on visa know how long it takes for them on average just wondering but so far 888 casino has been trouble free and I’ve had some good entertainment. I’m looking forward to using it in the future after I withdraw my money.

Welshal on September 1, 2015.

I got very drunk & very reckless with 888 a few times. Almost wiped out but when I’ve won a few grand & cashed it it they’ve been spot on. Granted you are encouraged to reverse withdrawals & carry on gambling, which I did lol, but when you do win & stay sensible & wait for the withdrawal process there is never a problem.

Yeoman on October 28, 2015.

How long did it take for your withdrawals to get back in the account?

D J on August 25, 2015.

They refused to pay for number 7 coming in on live roulette with 30 dollars on it. Blamed the Internet connection, which was 125 Mbps, and seemed to be fine in every losing bet and to take deposits. Refuse to answer emails. Seemed to have blocked access to app now as well.

snapedog on September 16, 2015.

Did this ever get sorted the same has happend to me twice tonight

A. Beach on August 12, 2015.

A few of my poker friends and l were chatting on skype the other night about the poker sites we played and our favorites. I said 888 was my fav and had been for a number of years. One of my friends asked me if I had noticed what country won most of all high paying tourneys and 2. Asked me how many really good hands I had lost to draws that were against all odds in poker. For the last couple of weeks I have been watching as it wasn’t the first time I had heard or read something to this effect. Also they said and l agree a computer will only do what it is programmed to do. I play poker for the enjoyment and I guess after hearing the things I have I would hesitate to spend a lot of money on computer poker. Also 888 poker will remain to be one of my fav sites.

nic on August 3, 2015.

I sent my withdrawal 6 days ago and 3 days ago I had to send Id which I’ve done. I’ve logged on yesterday and today and they have dissabled my account I’ve sent them 7 emails and they are not responding to me

Dionne on July 16, 2015.

I have wagered about $400 of my own money and have won $1500 back and did 3 separate withdrawals and sent in my ID and info. 2 withdraws finally said they were “paid” and I got confirmation emails. It’s been about 5 days now. I logged into my account today and both my “paid” withdraws have now gone back into “awaiting processing” status. What does this mean? Am I not going to get my money paid out to me now? the staff on the chat said I had to email them, so I have done that and awaiting a response. They have also said I abused their bonus and promo system just because I took advantage of promos they emailed me and messaged me in pop ups when I logged on, so why wouldn’t I take advantage of promos. I guess I won free money every time I did a promo, but I still also spent my own, so after I request the withdraws, they send me an email stating that Im not allowed to participate in their promos anymore, but they will pay me my withdraw requests. Doesn’t seem to be a fair system, especially when they entice you to use their promos.

Randy Cena on July 13, 2015.

I haven’t had the same issues as other people here. I found the payouts to be pretty good here and I’ve been at 888 for a little over a year now.

I don’t play the progressives as much but the table games and slots are usually high payouts. I was able to turn 100 in free money into over 1000 thanks to taking adv of bonuses and getting hot on the BJ table.

Many people have issues here but I wasn’t one of em. For me, this is a good spot to play

Kairiozuki on July 9, 2015.

I manage to win some money, after that it just went beyond of coincidence. you can roll on turbo as long as you like, and you’ll never see more then 12 same colour numbers. but then i start biding, fell slightly lag, then i saw 25 red numbers in a row… i did write for for them and they answer with “rng is random and fair” bullshit. well i had some money left and went again. then i roll again without bids, numbers were randoms i admit, but then i started bidding, saw again 20 same colour numbers… when i bid i lost every bid, and then i didn’t bid, next colour or number come up the one i wanted what a coincidence… i saw 20+ same colour numbers maybe 4 time a day. if i am so “lucky” i should buy lottery tickets instead. you have more chances to win.

Kate chapman on July 8, 2015.

Help please. I have joined the 888 casino and played the £88 free play and I have withdrawn £3,555 just about sceptical will I receive this money. I have received a email of 888 casino saying they are sorting the withdrawal out.

Dionne on July 16, 2015.

Have you got your money yet? Because Im waiting for mine too.

Ally on July 4, 2015.

888 was the first casino I had signed up too .. I managed to turn £20 into £750 and surprising it was a stress free withdrawal. They asked for I.d like most sites do and it took 2 weeks to withdraw but I got it in the end and use regularly

Dirk on November 19, 2015.

I understand the obvious answer, but 888 will lose customers if it takes them 10 business days to process a withdrawal and a nanosecond to accept money.

pedy on June 17, 2015.

i just won 70$ and i got to withdraw my money, but the servere always keep saying your money is on pending, do want to reverse it.
why? i just want my money back

Graham on June 14, 2015.

The software they use for online roulette must be or can be rigged. Never in my life have I seen e sequence of 14 black numbers in a row . And if that wasn’t enough to get you thinking , 6 of them were the same number . This is far from being a random number game .

NIck on June 9, 2015.

If you have a gambling problem stay far far far far far away from 888 casion , there withdraw process is sure to get you to gamble your winnings , you have 3 days to cancel and re gamble your winnings . I won 7 ,19 , 25 , 45k and every single time I cash out the keep giving me a pop up saying “you can cancel your withdrawal if you would like!!”.

BrasilBrasil on June 11, 2015.

guys, it really makes me wonder who’s fault it is: The casino’s for luring you into a new play or the player’s for getting weak, reverse the withdrawal and start playing again (which he or she shouldn´t be doing at all in the first place if you do have a problem).

kasia on June 11, 2015.

damn true
