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.

888Casino Player Comments

Paul McRae on April 13, 2013.

I can only comment re their blackjack, which is so blatantly rigged,it's crazy. Dealer will hit BJ when holding an ace nearly every time (maybe 80%). If you double on 11, you're bound to hit 2 or 3 and get nailed. And dealer holding 10 will hit 20 most times as well. DO NOT PLAY.

sam on April 13, 2013.

VERY ANGRY 888casino stay away from it, I won big and they refused to pay out saying there was an error on the game, I am seeking legal advise on this matter. They never refuse to take your money BUT when it comes to winning big they find any excuse not to pay!!!!!!!!!!!

CMorris on April 13, 2013.

I have played the 4 deck shoes of BlackJack, but it has to be fixed. When I had an 18, the dealer had 19. When I had 20, the dealer would have 21. Double Downs for 10 or 11, on the dealers 5 or 6, would almost always be a low card, giving me 13-15. I never won above what I had deposited.

Jenn on April 13, 2013.

I received a promotional email from "The 888Team" click on the link, deposit minimum $10 and receive 200 free spins on freaky fruit. So I click on the link and deposit, but the spot to put the promo code is shaded out and I cant type in it. OK, I will go to live help later and see what they can do. After a horrible experience on their slot machine, so confusing, it looks like your betting 50 cents but you are actually betting $30!! I sent an email to 888 support only to be told that they had no record of my deposit?? After investigating, it seems that when I clicked the link I was actually directed to another casino.. Casino On Net. So I email Casino on Net, 5 days ago and have yet to hear anything from them. I emailed 888 casino, because after all the original promotion came from the 888 team, and they told me that I should have ticked some sort of box when I made my deposit and that would have unshaded the promo code box so I could type in it. Really?! Sorry it shouldn't be that hard to redeem a promotion. here's the reply I received:

As the email you have forwarded us mentions Jenn, in order to receive the 200 free spins, it was imperative to enter the Deposit code '200Freaky'. This you say was not possible as the Promotional Code section was greyed out.
I appreciate your claim, as the section is indeed greyed out, however it turns editable as soon as the little box on the left is ticked, just as the toll tip next to it indicates (?). Furthermore, Casino-on-Net's customer service phone number and chat service is available in the cashier itself, next to the promotion code box, on the right side; having contacted us we would have advised you of it, together with help in your deposit making if necessary.
As this was not done and the deposit entered without the code, we are unable to credit you with the promotional free spins

They mention the phone number, well there are two phone numbers to call, Germany and the UK I am in Canada. and the live chat, well I did contact them and was told that I had to email support. again, I emailed support 5 days ago and still have heard not one word from casino on net, just the crap reply above from 888 casino.
I have played on about 10 different online casinos and have never had such poor customer support. like would it have been that hard to say "sorry about that, here's what to do next time and we will credit you the 200 free spins as we see you are a new customer and we'd like to ensure your completely satisfied with your experience with us."

Mike on April 13, 2013.

Do not play here.
Won a £10 game of live blackjack. And all winners didnt receive our winnings.
We were told to wait, after half hour I got disconnected.
I went to Live Chat to talk to someone and they told me the Game wasnt in my history so they couldnt help, although they forwarded it to their Tech team.

Very bad service and scam artists….trust me try another casino.

Thanos on February 28, 2013.

Was a player on that casino many years…The last days I made deposites of 10.000 euros (in 2-3 days). I didn't win anything and I just asked for a cash back bonus…Guess what! They gave me 100 euros as cash back bonus! When I told them that 100 euros as a bonus was a joke when I had deposite 10.000 euros in 3 days and that every other casinos are giving at least 10% cash back bonus the block my account!!!! (I don't care about the blocking but I was very surprised how cheap that casino was after all).

avooee on February 28, 2013.

It is nothing to do with what I received. I won money in the casino 888, but the money did not pay for two weeks and did not answer me. Email me utter nonsense, that my bank has refused to accept the money.
I have not heard such impudence.

melissa darby on February 1, 2013.

i tryed to join and was told that i was not allowed as i already had a account!!!!!!!! i was told this by 1 off there staff known as GRACE apperantly she wont tell me her full name!!!according to her i have a account witch i dont, so thanks 888.com but i think its safe to say i will bet else where but your staff where very NOT helpfull!!!!!! if you want customers i would say changed YOUR ONLINE STAFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rickey on January 13, 2013.

used 888 casino for over a year now, had a few wins from the weekly free spins, so happy with that, but DO NOT play at live tables. its a load of fixed sh*t. not to mention they wont look into it.

i played black jack, with a £70 bet. ended up on 19 so i hit stick. and it dealt another card. the dealer bust and so did i even though i pressed stick. apparantly it was being looked into… never got a reply and the phone numbers never get answered. and as someone else pointed out, there win streaks for the dealers are ridicoules. i watched a 14 hand win streak with 6 bj's for the dealer. that is highly improbable with a full table.

short version – play the games, not the casino.

BS Seok on January 13, 2013.

Ridiculous site, planning to file a lawsuit, or at the very least, get publicized press on this. Luckily I know a few that can at least alert the Canadian public of such scams. Deposited $1000, won a 1.75 odd betting, and the account is blocked for further review (since July 2012) and still under dispute. $1000 isnt a lot of money to me at least, but I am so angry at trying to get my money back, that $1000 wont just cut it anymore. Currently in process of contacting lawyers and discussing international lawsuits made by individuals, might take a bit of time due to my own work, but I am processing it right now.

My advice:
1. Dont play on this site, has one of the worst reputations of all companies
2. TV commercials and ads do not mean a company is reputable. TV commercial was what kinda led me to believe that 888.com or 888sports.com was safe to play on, boy was I ever wrong.

Mrdrhugo on January 13, 2013.

Hello I been playing roulette for a few years with different sites, I joined 888 just a couple weeks ago. I played on the 6th of jan and I won €30000 and requested for withdraw. T Han later t,hat day I loged on to play and my money wasn't ther to play, I have a 6yeats old son who started playing with my computer and reversed the withdraw process on my computer and started playing with the money without me knowing while I was sleeping, than he played all the winnings, what can be done. Thank you

Joined 888 casino after seeing advert on tv here in the UK, 88 pounds for joining no deposit required. went on the free play and a window poped up asking me to deposit for a good bonus, replied i will not be depositing untill i recieve my 88 pounds for joining, they said i had to wait 72 hours and i would recieve an email, checked email and no email from them, not even a welcome to 888casino.com. contacted customer services and they told me that the time had exspired and the bonus was not available any more because i did not claim within 48 hours but they realy wanted me to deposit money for another bonus, I told them that i would report them to trading standards as they have given me missleading information. never use 888casino.com, customer service is bad

in addition, have fun withdrawling any money you do win. over a month now ive been trying to get some out. they say its coming then it ends up back in my playing account. no doubt switching over to bet365….much better reviews and service.

Youri on November 24, 2012.

Play on 888 depisit 150€ and win jp 52000$
I get paid 8 day latter they anly ask copy of my passport
So can not complain

jack black on November 8, 2012.

very negative…i strongly believe that the cards are not dealt fairly. i thought they would be because you can track your progress, but the dealer pulls hands and streaks that are mathamatically improbable and virtually impossible. for example, i lost 17 hands in a row, the percenta of losing 4 hands in a row is only 14 percent, how the heck can i lose 17!! also, 5-21's in a row(on a sepparate streak), it is absolutely fixed or heavily tilted in the houses favor. not to mention the withdrawl process is nothing short of ridiculous and another scheme used to tilt the odds. now in all fairness, if i had been dealt 17 wins in a row or 5 21s in a row id likely not be complaining. however, i can assure you that i never in thousnds of hands ever amassed such a streak, not even close.
all casinos win. the longer you play the more likely you are to lose. if you are goin to go on this site make sure you do it with money you are ready to part with because 888 will take it all.

i believe outcomes are fixed….dont waste your money here…go buy yourself something instead.

Con don't use their bonuses it just means you cannot withdraw money if you win unless you run through 20-70k in gambling -complete bull avoid – 888 casino bonus scam

Taffs on October 15, 2012.

Ridiculous, it's not rigged its governed the same way every other casino is. Bitter comments from bitter losers I think here. It's gambling, you won't win all the time and ultimately we all know in the end there's only 1 winner.

Theoretically Roulette could spin in number 36 on every single spin every time such is the nature of a random wheel so 7 or 8 colours on the trot is perfectly plausible.

Personally I am not a massive fan of 888, I find the connection to the casino bad and the selection of games not so good. It also Annoys me how the cashier pops up just after you've deposited offering you a bonus on your next deposit.

However it's not rigged and on the plus side it looks great!

rixky on October 15, 2012.

Joined 888 ..well used to land casinos..played roulette and started winning consistently over the next 18 hours..my fave number 21 cam up, I had it well covered and then some and thought whoa! here she comes and then ….'server error your bet was not placed'!!!!!!!!!!!are you fu888ing kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nathan on October 6, 2012.
