The fun little signup game, with the guaranteed free prize is a truly unique twist, that is simply all joy. And the $1500 welcome package is completely fab. Just keep in mind, what’s called the Premium Welcome Package is only valid for seven days, so you’ll need to collect on the full sum within your first week.

Casino Game Variety

Numbers are not the only measure of variety, because at roughly 300, it is fair to say that 888casino does not have the largest gaming catalogue. What it does have, however, is a very good mix of games within the different categories covering online slot games, table games, progressive games, and live casino games.

As a fun aside, if you’re interested in learning a bit more about each game type, the site is laced with all sorts of informative articles ranging from things like the ‘Ultimate Roulette Strategy Guide’, ‘Card Counting Trainer’, and ‘Slot Tips’.

• Slots – The most popular slot games at 888casino are probably the classics like Spartacus, Starburst, Dawn of the Dinosaurs, and Twin Spin.
• Table games – For an international twist try European, French or American roulette. Or if cards are more your thing Classic, Multi-hand or High Limit Blackjack are always worth a try.
• Progressive games – The 888 network of progressive jackpot games is bursting with cash, usually in the collective range of $2M-$3M. At last check, Irish Riches, Millionaire Genie, Santa’s Super Slot, Treasure Fair and the Big Lebowski had the biggest pots on the line.
• Video poker – There are currently just four options here: All American Double Up, Jacks or Better, Joker Wild Double Up, and Deuces Wild Double Up. All are good.

Casino’s leading software providers 

One of the most awesome things about 888casino is its software, or more accurately the fact that its software is truly unique. That’s because, as far as we know, 888 is the lone online casino that develops its own software (though you will find a smattering of NetEnt software driven games in the mix).

Multiple gaming provider

888holdings group, is a true megabrand. Publically traded on the London Stock Exchange since 2005, the company is the proud force behind industry leaders 888casino, 888poker, 888bingo, and 888sport.

Sportsbook

Like all things 888, 888sport is no exception in the excellence realm. Conveniently available in both a desktop and mobile betting format, the site has deservedly garnered favourable opinion the world over.

Featuring sports betting options (literally from A-Z), you can wager on more popular forms of competition like NHL hockey, MBA baseball, tennis, football (both the soccer and the American types), horseracing, and more. For the more adventurous out there, there are some wackier “sports” categories like politics, TV specials (yes you read that right), darts, trotting, and water polo to explore.

For real-time action, there are 24/7 live betting opportunities (or as some call it, in-play action), found under the designated ‘Live Betting’ tab, as well as a wide range of bets to place in advance.

Like the casino site, there’s a nice welcome offer (here it’s bet $10, get $30 free), and a regular lineup of promotions. In fact, in 2017 it won a prestigious EGR Award in honour of its fabulous marketing and innovation on this front.

While promo funds are limited to each gaming type, navigating between 888casino and 888sport is just a click away. If you’re on either website, look to the top right corner for the little 888 circle, and click there for all your 888 options.

Promotions

Hands-down 888casino has one of the most extensive promotional offerings we’ve encountered. Each promotion comes under a different category:

• New Players
• Hot Promotions
• Daily Deals
• Live Casino

The current offers are simply too large in number to list, but a few highlights include:

• Up to $16,000 in Increasing Snowball FreePlay! – This one’s a bit complicated to follow, but basically, you get an increasing bonus percentage with each deposit you make, from 10% up to 50%, for a potential of $16,000 extra.
• Table Tuesday – Gives you 30% up to $150 in bonus money to play on three classic table games.
• Pinch, Punch, it’s the 1st of the month – On the first day of each month, the first 26 players to login get to share in the $88 free prize.
• Daily Lucky8 – Played on live roulette, basically, if you wagered on a round in which the winning number was 8, you win an $8 bonus.
• Beat the Dealer every 21st of the month – A special promo on Multi-Hand Blackjack that can garner you up to $300 in FreePlay.

Mobile

Strangely, 888 does not heavily promote mobile play. And when it does, it’s geared more towards the app. Still experience has shown that 888casino, has high functionality from your mobile browser, just not quite as good as the app.

Mobile Casino App

The 888 mobile casino app is available free of charge. There is one for Android devices and another for iOS devices (iPhones and iPads). Since mobile is such a central part of online casino play these days, it’s a bit odd that the 888 website doesn’t directly link to these apps; but a quick Google search should do the trick.

Overall, the mobile casino app will give you the full 888casino experience including the games, promos, and banking functionality. In other words, very good.

Flash vs. Download 

While the download software still exists, the link is tucked far enough away to convince us that the Flash casino is now the better way to play.

Customer Support

• Hours: 24/7
• Phone: N/A
• Live chat: Yes
• Email: [email protected]

Banking

The banking at 888, like all things 888, is very useriendly. Go to the ‘Cashier’ from the casino lobby (or from the menu on your mobile phone). There you can make deposits and withdrawals, transfer funds to another 888casino member’s account, and view your full transaction history.

As for the payment methods accepted, it’s one of the most extensive lists we’ve encountered. Included, of course, for Canadian players are Visa and MasterCard, Diners Card, paysafecard, NETELLER, Instadebit, iDebit, Skrill, wire transfer, bank transfer, and many more. Pretty much all except wire transfer have a $20 minimum (wire transfer is $100).

Processing the deposit is usually instant, but be patient, because it can actually take up to 10 minutes. The withdrawal processing, however, is a bit on the lengthy end, with a stated 3 days for internal (888) processing, plus the processing time each payment method itself takes. This means completing a withdrawal generally takes at least 4-5 days, though a bit quicker if you’re a Gold VIP member.

Conclusion

888 is one of the most impressive gaming brands across the board. The fact that it develops its own software already makes it entirely unique (big plus). Add to that great mobile functionality, a fantastic welcome offer, a never-ending promotional calendar, and of course the link to sister sites 888poker, bingo and sports, and you’ve got a truly winning formula. In fact, this might just be one of the best out there.
