We take a closer look at the 888sport platform that offers the chance to bet on a huge variety of sports to see if it’s a betting site that you should be taking advantage of in the UK.

888sports promotions

There are plenty of promotions on offer from 888sport for customers who sign up that are on an easy to find dedicated tab. One that separates 888sport from its rivals is its £5 free bet if you win at 4/1+, which rewards successful punters. There is also a refund of up to £25 if one leg of an American sports accumulator loses, which obviously benefits anyone who is interested in the action across the Pond. Enhanced odds are offered on markets on a daily basis and there is also a non-runner no-bet promotion for certain horse racing meets.

888sports sports markets

Not surprisingly, 888sport offers many of the same markets as its sportsbook rivals with football and horse racing the clear favourites. It covers all the top leagues around Europe, including the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1, plus the big leagues in South America, the United States, Asia and Africa. And 888sport also covers some of the lesser-known competitions – such as second and third divisions in countries worldwide – that some bookies may not have available. Cup competitions such as the Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup and international competitions such as the Euros and World Cup are well served. Horse racing is also well covered with all UK and Ireland meets available to bet on, including the obvious big festivals such as Cheltenham, Royal Ascot and the Grand National. There is a tab that shows you the next race that is starting to make sure you don’t miss a race from around the world from the likes of Australia, South Africa and USA to name a few. And 888sport has also delved into novelty markets, including politics betting, WWE and reality TV shows, plus a reliable esports betting site. Here is a list of the most popular sports that are well covered by 888sport:

Boxing

Cricket

Rugby union

UFC

American football

Basketball

Tennis

An area in which 888sport lags behind its competitors is the lack of facility to request a bet. However, there is the option of the ‘bet builder’ option which allows the user to choose selected bets and group them together in a same-game accumulator. Another interesting feature that has recently been introduced is the Up for 8 game, in which users have a chance to win up to £8,000 by correctly predicting the win-draw-win result in eight selected matches. If there are multiple winners then the £8,000 prize is shared but is still a worthwhile free-to-play game. What sets Up for 8 apart is the fact 888sport offers a £1 free bet for every correct pick, which is a nice added bonus if you fail to win the main prize.

888sport in-play betting

The 888sport ‘live now’ page is jam-packed with sports from around the world that you can bet on in play. Football is again the most popular and the in-play markets are well set out and have extra information such as attacks, dangerous attacks and shots on target to help you make you more informed on the game. The same applies for other sports including tennis, cricket, basketball and horse racing. Horse racing has the next race and meeting, to make it easy to find the race you want, and some races also have 888sport’s best odds guaranteed offer clearly marked on them. There seems to be a sport available throughout most of the day and well-known and niche events are both catered for, making it one of the best in-play betting sites.

888sport live streaming

At 888sport there is a live-streaming service to go along with its in-play betting markets where you can watch football, horse racing, tennis, basketball, cricket and other sports online. Users should be aware that some events are restricted due to your location. An example of this would be UK users being unable to watch Premier League football as the rights are restricted. The streams are free but you do have to have bet a minimum £1 on any event in the previous 24 hours, and the quality of the streams are steady and clear with a decent internet connection.

888sport deposit and withdrawal

888sports licensing information

888sport is part of the long-established 888 group and so is very easy to trust when it comes to deciding which bookie to go with. It is licensed in two jurisdictions, Gibraltar and the UK Gambling Commission, which is one of the most trusted gambling authorities in the world. And 888sport is also associated with Gambleaware, which shows they care about their customers’ welfare, as well as ESSA (European Sports Security Authority), who have helped battle match-fixing.

888sport interface across desktop, mobile and app

The 888sport website is easy to log in to and the offers are easy to find at the top of the site, as well as on the promotions tab on the left-hand side. Sports are easy to find with the sidebar showing the most popular (this can be expanded to find all sports on offer). Your bet slip is also easy to locate, keep track of and place bets, with the slip also telling you how much the potential payout is. The loading times can be slow, which can be frustrating, and the site does log you out on occasion if you have been idle for a period which could be extended.

The mobile version has a similar issue with loading times but once you are on the site it is easy to navigate and find the sports you want. Depositing is easy on desktop and mobile, with your balance shown and you can easily find useful links on your profile such as withdrawal, betting history and contact information. The app also suffers from some speed issues, which puts it behind some of its competitors in the market. Sports are easy to find and the search option on the top left makes it easy to find what you are looking for.

888sport customer service

You can use the ‘contact us’ tab which has a search function to try and find answers to FAQs such as queries about depositing and withdrawing funds. There is also an email section where you can send your issue to the 888sport customer service team and include attachments. The help button takes you to the support centre which gives you different types of issues that have already been asked and the answers to them which are helpful to save time. Failing that, there is a live chat function which you start by asking your question. The server then searches for an agent to chat which can take some time to do, despite the site claiming the average time is 16 seconds. For example, when testing the product there was a five-minute wait despite being third in the queue. Once the agent was found, the process was long with unnecessary steps. I had already logged into my account to get on to the chat yet they required me to answer my security question and confirm my account name. If you do not reply within around a minute, the chat is disconnected and you have to start again, which is extremely poor.

888sport summary

888sport has a good welcome offer that is easy to understand and use and its other promotions for existing customers are also worthwhile. The lack of a request-a-bet feature does leave 888sport behind some competitors as this function is one of the most popular among bettors, but the new score predictor game does have its positives. And 888sport does have issues with slow loading times and the customer service is not as user-friendly as it should be for a company that has been around for so long. However, once on the site, betting is easy and depositing and withdrawal are satisfactory and the number of sports and in-play options are a plus.
