The following is a review of 888Sport.com, one category of many under the 888 brand. The company as a whole has been online since 1997 providing poker, bingo and sports betting opportunities to the masses. They are a licensed and regulated company, and are even listed on the London Stock Exchange. So all things considered, you can feel good about placing bets on their site.
Betting Props at 888 for Real Money
Placing bets at 888 for real money is a straightforward process.
Unfortunately, Americans cannot be apart of that process. 888 hasn’t accepted US players on any of their brands since legislation passed in 2006.
Everyone else will be able to create an account though. All bets are placed on the 888 website, so compatibility is not an issue. Their website is mobile friendly too, so you can place bets from your tablet or phone. And 888 Sport has an app for iphone and ipad users. It’s free — you just need to download it.
Once you have an account created you can use your debit card, credit card, PayPal, ClickandBuy, Neteller, Skrill or Web Money account to fund it. E-wire, e-checks and personal checks are options too.
888 Sport Bonuses and Promotions
888 Sport runs a handful of promotions specifically for sports bettors. Here are the details for those.
£88 Bets – 888 is giving you £88 in free bets. You don’t get it all at once though. It’s spread out over 10 different bets. The first 9 bets will be £10 each, and the last bet will be £18. The free bets are staggered too — you’ll get a free bet on your first wager, then your fourth, 7th and so on. So you need to continue making bets yourself, especially if you want to take advantage of the entire offer before it expires (30 days).
£5 No Lose Bet – This offer is available to you when you use 888’s mobile app. Make any bet, and if you lose, you’ll be refunded up to £5.
VIP Program – Participate in 888’s VIP program and receive more bonuses, free bets and higher banking limits. 888 also runs daily/weekly/monthly promotions, which you can view from their VIP Promotions Today page.
888 Sports Super Bowl / Prop Betting
As I write this review it’s only December, so 888 doesn’t have all of their Super Bowl props ready to go. The only prop they have right now is who the outright winner will be and a list of all the NFL teams. I expect this list to grow as the Super Bowl gets closer.
888 does have other props available, though, on their regular season games. You can bet on individual player props such as total passing, rushing and receiving yards, as well as total completions. You can also bet on teams which includes bets like first to 10 points, team to score first and whether or not the first scoring team will win the game. There are 24+ options in all, and that’s just for the NFL games.
Other Betting Options
On top of your NFL options, you have many other sports, leagues/tours and countries that you can play wagers on. Every main sport has prop bets, with the main sports like basketball, baseball, soccer, hockey, etc having more options than sports like golf or boxing.
Live betting is another option. Just visit their live betting page to see what games are currently running.
In addition to sports betting, you can also use your account to play poker, casino and/or bingo games. You’ll have to download the software to play poker, but the casino and bingo section you can play from your browser if you want. There are hundreds, if not thousands of dollars in promotions and jackpots in each section. In short, there is plenty to do if you ever want to change gears from betting on sports.
