Offering two different bonuses, 888 Casino gives you $20 simply for signing up. After that, there is a deposit match bonus. This is 120 percent for your first deposit up to $500.
In order to access these bonus funds, players must complete a 30x playthrough. While that is on the higher end, 888 Casino’s monetary offering is on the higher end, too. This must be completed within the first 60 days of depositing. It is worth nothing that this incredible bonus counts towards all casino games, including live dealer and slots.
The registration process is broken down into three easy steps.
This process doesn’t ask for anything that isn’t normal to be asked for by licensed and regulated outlets. This process took us under 60 seconds to complete.
If you come across a website that doesn’t ask for this information at the time of signing up, this should serve as a red flag that the site you are using is not a licensed and regulated entity and to immediately cease exploring that website.
Note that banking methods can vary by state, so it is best to check with casino site.
All of these deposit methods have a minimum amount of $10 and could take up to 10 minutes to process. For withdrawals there isn’t a lot of information outside of that it could take up to 24 hours to process. With that said, in our experience, we received our payment from PayPal in minutes.
888 has really grown its stable of providers recently, and that's a good thing. That said, there's not that many slots to choose from compared to some other online slot casinos, and having a few more developers getting involved would certainly be a good thing.
Glitz and glamour are the names of the game on the 888 site. You're greeted with a slick homepage which gets you straight into the action via a featured games list, and the promotions for new players and members are obvious right away. The bold green and black color scheme works well, and nothing is difficult to locate or interact with. The top menu contains all the detailed information you'll need, but doesn't clutter the screen thanks to being highlightable.
You can also quickly access all the casino's regulatory information and awards with a quick scroll down. The app is clearly promoted and easy to access via the main site too. There are some well-known and good quality slots to enjoy, from Judge Dredd to Elvis The King. There's also the first Zeus slot. Overall though, many of the games are a little old given what's available elsewhere.
The mobile site follows the same design as the main site itself and is clear and easy to use. The interface is clean and nothing is crammed on or missing from the page. You can sign up and play straight from the mobile site as well, which is a nice option. The app is quick to download and features all the same services and games as the other two sites. You can download it from either the mobile or the main site as well.
You'll find four kinds of casino games at 888 Casino, and they're all the staples you’d expect: blackjack, roulette, slots and video poker. We've already looked at the slots in a bit of detail, (although it's worth noting there are a lot of progressive jackpot slots, which is great) so let's move on to the casino staples.
There are two versions of roulette available, both single and double, and the table is laid out nicely so you can see your bets and the action clearly. There's only one version of blackjack, but you can customize various elements of the game to your liking, which is something only available at 888. The video poker is another solid choice, and has its own app so you can play on the go as well.
Available on desktop, iOS and Android, 888 Casino’s Live Casino page is separated from the rest of the casino, which adds to the exclusivity of the platform. On the page, the games are displayed prominently at the top with information about their live casino games, with several paragraphs of information.
On the mobile app, there is a drop-down menu in the upper-left side of the screen where you can choose Live Casino. Minus fitting everything on the screen, this has the exact same information.
Both the login and signup button are at the top of each page. The rest of the necessary information, including the other games, promotions, the VIP Program, Banking and information for getting started is on the left-hand side of the screen, too.
888 Casino has four live casino offerings: Roulette, Blackjack, Poker and Baccarat.
The lobby that gets you into the games is exceedingly well-presented. We did not experience any interruptions loading up and were able to interact with both male and female hosts for the games. This was all totally professional. The dealers will give you all the information you need regarding the games and how to play them.
The betting limits change from game to game. Aa the start of the game, the dealer will tell you about all of the different promotions and limits for each game. This adds more to the overall interaction on the site, making it that much more enjoyable to play on.
There is a VIP Program at 888 Casino. The information is relatively sparse as it is still in development, but it will include perks such as VIP events, different promotions, the ability to interact with an exclusive staff and additional gifts and perks.
At the bottom of the screen there is a “Contact” button. Here, you can upload a message to 888 Casino along with any file attachments you may need to include in your report. This appears to be the only form of customer support at the moment. The file attachment feature is great as it will allow you to take screenshots of potential issues so that your issue can be resolved that much more swiftly, limiting your time needed to get something addressed.
At the top of the screen you will find the green “Responsible Gaming” logo which brings you to a dedicated section about the topic. Here, there is information about organizations to contact, hotlines, preventative measures to prevent underage gambling, and in-house systems for session limits, deposit limits, loss limits, a cool-off period and self-exclusion.
Beyond this, they list “symptoms” for a gambling addiction and different “myths” associated with gambling like spending more money to make more money. 888 Casino goes really in-depth on this subject, at a rate that is rare.
888 Casino delivers when it comes to certain areas, but there are some missing elements that can make it pale a bit when compared to other sites. While there are some great features, like the ability to customize your blackjack games, the amount of slots is somewhat lacking. You'll still find plenty to keep you entertained of course, and the loyalty program is pretty good if you tend to play a few select games often. The dedicated video poker app (and the app itself) does make this online casino one of the better choices for gaming on the go as well.
When it comes to the Live Casino experience at 888 Casino, we were thoroughly impressed with the interface, the staff and everything associated with it. We’d like to see more customer service options, but they are thorough in their help sections to answer any questions you may have and they have a lot of the information you’d need.
888 Casino has everything you’d need at a live and online casino. We strongly encourage you to check out what 888 has to offer for your future live casino needs.
