888.com Casino

Bonus & Promotions

888.com is certainly a big hitter when it comes to bonuses.

The initial 200% up to $400 is very good, and that's actually just the start of a $1400 bonus package that gives a reload bonus of 100% up to $100 every month for the first year.

There is also a good VIP scheme and other regular promotions to keep an eye out for.

Software & Graphics

It's interesting to note that 888.com have developed their software in-house rather than opting to use one of the established software providers such as MicroGaming or PlayTech.

It's a gamble that certainly seems to have paid off, as I found the 888.com client to be fast, smooth and well laid out.

The graphics may not be overwhelming, but they're more than sufficient. The initial download is fast and the games are very stable and quick to load.

All in all it's a very user-friendly experience and it's clear to me that 888.com really put a lot of effort into their software.

One excellent feature that not all casinos offer is the "my history" page, which lets you look at the results of all the games you've played and makes analysis of your casino gaming very easy.

If you're losing big time at roulette but have made a good profit in blackjack it's easy to see this and adapt your play accordingly.

Game Variety

One of the bonuses of having the aforementioned in-house software is the ability to choose any games you look to offer to your customers.

888 have certainly taken advantage of that and boast an incredible array of games to choose from. From the classics like blackjack (several varieties) and roulette, to a huge number of slots, you'll have no trouble finding the your favorite game.

Video Poker fans are in for a treat, with a superb selection of game types and multi hand options. I was also pleased to see my own personal favorite, Baccarat, was included.

Reputation

888.com is a huge name in the online gaming world, and are probably most famous for their sportsbook offering. Their gaming portfolio now includes much more, including this casino.

As you'd expect from a big name, they've developed a good reputation over the years and are renowned as a safe and fair place for online gaming.

Support

I was really pleased to see live chat as an option for 888's customer support. It really annoys me when I have to call or email support (yes, I'm probably spoilt!) as live chat is just so much more convenient.

I tested the knowledge of their agents with some questions about payment methods and wagering requirements and was impressed with the speed and accuracy of their response.

If there's anyone out there who doesn't like live chat, you'll be pleased to know that email and telephone is still an option.

Payment Options

All the main payment methods are accepted by 888 and you can also withdraw to the vast majority of them, which is nice to see.

It's always annoying when casinos only accept a few obscure cashout methods, and 888.com should be applauded for not going down this route.

Processing times are standard without being exceptional. I received my cashout to Neteller the following day.

Summary

As you may have guessed from this review, I'm a huge fan of 888.com.

They offer unique and high quality software, an excellent choice of games and helpful customer service. I also like the fact you can easily switch money to the sportsbetting section.

You'd be hard pressed to find a better casino to play at in my eyes and I'd highly recommend giving them a go.

We like: Top quality software, great game variety and helpful customer service

We don't like: Graphics could be a bit better.
