888sport Review



888sport are one of the most innovative and generous bookmakers around and anyone looking for a new provider should seriously consider 888sport. There’s some longevity too with the company first establishing their online presence way back in 1997 – initially as part of the BlueSquare Group.

888sport itself has been autonomous since 2005 and it’s good to see a bookie looking after both new and existing customers.

888sport Bonus and Ongoing Offers

The welcome bonus has changed from time to time but as of January 2016, the Treble Odds deal has been available for a while. It’s an easy one to follow – just deposit between £5.00 and £10.00, pick a selection from anywhere in the sportsbook and the published odds will treble in the event of a win (TC’s apply).

Check the offer page for full terms and conditions but beyond that initial deal, the ongoing promos are arguably the best around. These do change frequently so check our news pages for full details but they cover plenty of sports from football to horse racing and beyond.

At the time of writing, there are free bets if a late goal ruins your football coupon, further free bets on tennis, acca insurance offers and much more.

Sports Markets and Odds Value

888sport are picked up by all the major odds comparison sites so it’s easy to make your own checks. We’ve used them for years and find them competitive on a number of sports, particularly football, cricket and horse racing and another bonus is that this bookie tends to declare markets earlier than most.

As for those markets, you will never be short of an option from this list.

Football, Tennis, Cricket, Golf, Snooker, Basketball, Darts, Baseball, Cycling, American Football, Athletics, Aussie Rules, Beach Volleyball, Boxing, Chess, Handball, Ice Hockey, Motorsports, Rugby League, Rugby Union, Surfing, Table Tennis, Trotting, UFC & MMA, Volleyball and Winter Sports.

Banking

You’d expect a provider of this calibre to offer plenty of payment options and that’s exactly what you’ll find. Those who prefer traditional methods can make use of bank transfers plus all the major debit and credit cards while 888 were one of the first companies to embrace the new wave of e-wallets.

Consequently, you can fund to or withdraw from your account via Skrill, Yandex, ukash, Paypal, Neteller, paysafecard, ewire, Fundsend and much more. Some of these are region specific so check the banking page for details – it’s a huge list. Most are instant and fee free but once again, this dedicated banking page will give you the full details.

Customer Service


This is an area that could possibly be improved as options are tricky to find and at present, there is no live chat operator. From the landing page at 888sport, navigate to the bottom and you will find a contact us link. This leads, in turn to an online contact form and you can also find the customer service number.

There are no issues with the service provided: It’s seriously quick and friendly and you can also access a good list of FAQs but the options could be a little wider.

Conclusion

It’s hard to find any reason not to sign up with 888sport: OK so there may be bigger welcome bonuses than the ‘Treble your Odds’ deal but can any of those providers equal 888 when it comes to their ongoing promotions?

There’s a huge list of incentives for existing customers and when you tie that in with great value odds in a wide list of markets, this is a great place to be.

Pros (+)

  • Welcome Offer Trebles your odds on an opening win
  • One of the best lists of ongoing promos you can find
  • Vast list of sporting events

Cons (-)

  • Customer Service options could be more comprehensive
