As of February 1th 2016, the market cap is approximately 620 million GBP. Based on the reporting 888 is obliged to do as a public company, it is indisputable that 888 are more than capable of covering the customer’s balances.
888 is licensed by the UK Gambling Commission for British customers and by the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner for most other customers.
Based on our experiences and the experiences of our network your funds will be very safe with 888sport.
888Sports was launched through a partnership with the historic betting company “Blue Square” which was launched in 1999 and acquired by Betfair in 2013. In 2013 888 announced a partnership with the white label provider, Kambi Sports Solutions, which at the time was Unibet’s B2B Division.
In our opinion Kambi offers by far the best sports betting product of all the white label providers, but it is still a white label product and as such 888’s sports betting product is identical to among others Unibet and 32Red.
The betting offer is very good for all the main betting sports and a lot of niche betting sports, in particular the ones relevant for northern Europe, also receive extensive coverage.
The theoretical payback percentage ranges from pretty good to ordinary for the most popular sports and is average for the minor sports.
The betting limits can often be unimpressive, but even so our impression is that 888 are better than the other operators powered by Kambi in this regard.
Overall the payment process is slow and inconvenient. 888 is behind its competitors in this regard. Expect 72 hour after withdrawal has been requested until you see money. They pushy with their side games, such as casino. We strongly believe that they hope their customers will reverse their cashout while waiting to lose moneyin the casino.
The 888 customer support is as slow as their payment department, they offer Live chat support and cover around 6 languages.
Customer support is provided by online form, which is difficult to find, you need to visit the FAQ section in order to find a "contact us" link.
If you get lucky, sometimes you will see a live chat pop-up window, but there will be more assistance to help you to make a deposit or bonus offer, they will not deal with your problem if you are looking to withdraw the money.
888's layout is simple, but due to the Flash engine we can not rate them high in this category. A good search function enables the user to find exact outcome fast. 888 s using KAMBI solution for betting. Usability and functionality is decent. They offer a mobile version, but it definitely should be fixed, as usability is almost on a ground level.
One of the strongest part of 888sport are promotions and bonuses, they have tons of promotions for new and retaining customers. In our opinion would they offer one of the best promotion regimes in the industry. 888 has separate bonuses for mobile users, Football, Horse racing, their famous – treble the odds promotion, free money etc etc.
There is no doubt that 888 is an old school bookmaker and will limit winning customers. However we feel that they are far from the worst operator in this regard. How quickly your account will be limited obviously also depends on your betting patterns such as which sports you bet and if you bet singles, systems or accumulators.
