4/5
Very Good
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

888Casino Player Comments
ive played on 888 for a few years now , i played poker on the site at least 4 days a week for a while , losing and losing month after month in tournaments when i play live with exactly the same strategies and win , i stopped playing them imdeiately after i was in a hand holding 99 i shoved and was called by KJo an AA , the flop came 9 9 K K K , so i tried the casino slots , and lose lose lose 95% of the time when i have far better winning patterns in other casinos , ive been a gambler for a while now and this site is the hardest to win money on , its terrible ive experienced nothing like it , i could almost guarantee i have 100's maybe 100's of deposits and a handful of withdrawels which yes is less than the exchange rate , theres something not right with this site and its yet to be exposed
I won at poker $109 on 27 sept 13 and have been trying to withdraw it ever since! they have asked for verification by driving licence I have sent it three times i received what they call verification again they have just sent me an email saying i cannot withdraw until i verify! i said i have they sent mea further email requesting i photocopy both side to my deposit credit card!! as they cant determine my age!! I rang the help line and they were totally useless. I have asked who is there regulators she would not tell me, I asked to speak to someone else she said you need to eamail, I stated that i have sent over 10 and she said wel thats what I have to do. Has anyone ever heard of photocopying and uploading both side of your credit card. DO NOT PLAY ON 888 they require nothing to deposit but wont pay out.
I only play slot games, and can't really fault them on this. What I don't like is the slow payout times. 3 days sitting in their account before a refund is made to my account isn't great. They make enough profit without having to do this sort of thing. Also, weekends are normally not included in the 3 days… PaddyPower, Unibet, Ladbrokes to name a few will process the payment right away. Have been waiting for my cash for over a week now and will close my account when I get the money.
I just got back a totally useless response about a complaint I made to 888poker about not receiving a payout for the final pot I played on Sunday night (10.6.2013). The pot was only about $15, but I clearly won it (flush over straight) and saw the money credited to my stack. I then exited the site and went to bed. When I checked my account total the next day, the amount hadn't been added. I then checked my hand history and it wasn't even listed! I make over $100K a year at my job, so I don't care about the $15, but it's the principle. The only thing I'm happy about is that I was playing small stakes and didn't get ripped for a lot more!
live chat is never available for me i find the support awful. i have an issue with a free spins bonus on bejeweled 2 that has frozen. when i log out and log back in it asks me to pick up where i left off and just freezes again in the exact same spot this has happened around ten times now which is very frustrating as the bonus win is sizable with more free spins still to go. can i get to talk to anybody can i hell.
I get the feeling i am not going to get the issue resolved and i will never use this site again if thats the case.
I have recorded footage of this malfunction and will take legal action if neccessary.
So I have had one of their 'customer service' team (they wouldn't know customer service if it bit them on the bum) contact me questioning the documents I had sent it verifying my identity. I have nicknames and used one on my account but this didn't match with my drivers license. (My first name was abbreviated on the account.) So I am asked to explain the 'discrepancy'. I explained and no movement on the withdrawl so I mail again and asked that I have my money refunded to my paypal account immediately. Still nothing (it was only a small amount.) So I spent it and closed my account down, 888 used to be a good site and the withdrawl process was straight forward and fair but it has gone down hill. BIG thumbs down
Avoid 888 casino at all costs. Deposited £450 to then withdraw £500 (50) profit. After trying to make withdrawal I needed to upload documents which were extremely clear. 85 hours later and only through chasing over 5 times I get an email saying my documents were not clear so my £500 still hasnt been withdrawn. I then send larger documents and have been told this will take another 72 hours. While chasing again out of the blue the under trained customer service agent tells me we have withdrawn £450 and not £500. I mean wtf! They are a fraudulent company for sure once your money is in you have to fight extremely hard to get your winnings out! The live roulette video crashes all the time through mid spin so also who knows if it is rigged! How they are authorised to operate is unbelievable! Shane Warne to have your face on there website is a bad move!
They are scammers imo.
I received an offer, deposit £10 get £100 credit.
Deposited £ 10, played credits and won £50.
Tried to withdraw balance, informed I have to play credit 50 times.
Said I want my original deposit back, told MINIMUM withdrawal is £20 PLUS £1.75 withdrawal fee.
Told them no chance I am depositing more funds.
Account was suspended, I have been SCAMMED !!
To the people below complaining the casino is fixed, you are complete morons and very likely just sore losers. Its properly regulated and you can even see the published stats for each month for the past 4 odd years if you go and do a google. Perfectly within the percentages of a normal casino.
The only gripe i have with them is the shocking withdrawal system they have where it sits for 3 days without even being touched. This is criminal. My winnings are sitting in there and i will take them, and deposit them in a casino with a better customer service
I deposit £10 to receive £100 of credits.
I played the games and won £50.
When I tried to withdraw the money I was told the £50 bonus had to be wagered 50 times !!
I told them to cancel the bonus and give me my money back.
They did, but…
The MINIMUM withdrawal is £20 PLUS a £1.75 withdrawal fee.
So I have to play the games or deposit another £311.75 to get my money back.
It is a scam !!
$3000 to zero, with the dealer never busting
I suggest do not play., at least avoid bonussus, they are ment to put money in,. but you can't get money out anymore! T&C read carefully!!
Second of all, when you play, constant chat windows pop up in your game view, (very annoying)to offer bonussus… duh, see comment 1
Last, had a dispute about a slot payout, pictures clearly show 4 top symbols (wilds) and it payed-out like 2 topsymbols with an 10. clearly a mistake, first email, was that it was correct. I Told the woman in reply she never played a slot machine in her life or else she would not say that.
Then they said it would be send to technical support and would get a reply after 5 days. 3 weeks later i did send an additional email about any progress. guesss what no technical support, but another "support" woman said again that the payout was correct. Just go to somewhere else , this site is a setup, played at at least 25 other casino's this one is so bad, i wanted to put my comments somewhere on the internet, that says enough.
I find 888 Casino to be very bad. I worked my way upto a VIP and I am just overwelmed with emails from them to enter this and enter that as if I do not have a life and if you don;t then you are out of winning anything at all. When you read some of the prizes it amounts to nothing because the way they word things that you have to do this and that and so you can never win. I found all the staff there to be rude and when they want to just stop talking to you they cut you off and I have never been treated like that before by people from a casino taking money from me to pay thier wages and just treated you like dirt. I totally disagree with thier withdrawl system as they are dictators telling you what to do with your winnings and you are not given a chance to delegate where you want your winnings to go as they have made a huge error in thier terms and conditions that even the brainiest will not be able to work it out. Since they upgraded a while ago I can no longer go full screen and when I ask about it no one ever knows. I find that if I have a little win it is very very soon taken back and you do not get to enjoy it anymore and leave. My opinion is to anyone who wants to go here DON"T as you will be very dissapointed with the staff and the games. Also please watch your bank account as I have seen them taking money from my account when I have not deposited a few times and they will hold onto your request and place it at your bank days later when you think you have money then all of a sudden they will take money from your account.
I won big time on Black Jack. If you know the game the cards fall very fair compared to other Casinos such as bwin.com. Sure there are winnings streaks for the Casino, but also for the player. Problem however is you can only cash out 30.000 a month. I wired 5.000 EUR and made it to 20.000 EUR, then cashed out 15.000. Next time I had a real bad session and lost the remaing 5.000 EUR and kept loosing additional money that I have out into the account (5.000 and 5.000 and 5.000 and 5.000). Luckily the cards turned in my favour at some point and I managed to recover to 30.000 EUR and cashed out. Since then I made another 60.000 EUR in 2 weeks and now have 80.000 EUR in the account. I am quite afraid as it is a huge sum and I need to wait almost 30 days before I can cash out the next 30.000 EUR. Hopefully they will wire me the funds!!
888casino was a bit scam for me too… whenever you deposit money it is quite easy… i played baccarat and when i am winning the live video stream will be delayed. after i tried many times to recover and i do manage and tried to withdraw my $1,500 money from the teller it show's the message that it might take max. of 7 days to process and some of the buttons/option are confusing so when you become frustrated you will end up reversing your withdrawal., you should be very careful with the T&C (term & conditions) because it was laid with traps and tricks so it will be hard for you to get your money and worst you will not be able to get your money. try real casino not this one. quite scam and based from my 3 weeks experiences.
Just spoke to live support, as it seems I am always outside of their online chat hours. "Lavina" from the Caribbean (hmmm… Cassava is based in Gibraltar) says she cannot confirm when the online support will next be available, and there are no managers around to ask. This site is fixed. AVOID!
I play 888 blackjack with pretty good success.
I've had losses; of course. And yes the dealer does go on some pretty long winning streaks.
But so do I.
I had the rewards bonus problem and found two ways to solve it:
1) play poker which seems to work straight away. Or
2) wait 24 hours before trying to withdraw.
I play for <60 minutes at a time and there have been times where
I do not get blackjack once.
Other times I get it 3 times in a row.
My suggestion: adjust your betting strategy so you aren't chasing your loses.
Good luck :)
I am a first time user at 888 and cant recomend them enough, everything works exactly like it says on the tin. Signed up 2 days ago and recieved £88 free to play with which i turned into £20, I then deposited £100 which they matched 100%, I took my £220 to the video slots where i turned it into £3630 in a matter of minutes, proceeded to cashier where i withdrew £3530 everything was fine…. well curiosity got the better of me and an hour later i had reversed the withdrawl… Back to the video slots i went and after an hour of playing between £12.50 & £25 per spin i was only down £1700 then WHAM!!!! Feature….. 10min later I was cashing out £7,600.
I have recently been in contact with them and submitted my ID documents 3 day process will be up tomorrow and after a telephone conversation today i have been advised that the money will be in my bank 19/04/13.
Thank you 888 great all round service
888 BlackJack amazing. Does the dealer EVER bust? You get 12,13 14 and you WILL deal a 10. Dealer can play 7 cards and still reach 21. Amazing
Complete scam to my mind. I deposited a small amount and won a small amount playing Blackjack but was not allowed to withdraw. Just been told by someone called Runita that I would have to deposit £6000 before I could collect any winnings, it would take me years for a low value player like me. I didn't read the T&C's & was hoodwinked by the commercials, the bonuses are a waste of time. I'll stick to Paddy Power, honest, simple and straightforward.
