888.com can be thought of as the hub of a gaming network, or as a large casino with many diverse rooms. There is a casino or general gambling room, a poker room, a sports room, etc. Unfortunately, not all of these rooms are perfectly functional. As of this writing, one cannot access the content in the sports room. 888.com would be a better site if they would either remove the non-functional rooms or get them fixed.
888.com tries to give its users more than games (even though the games here are already quite good). Players can get easy access to the casino’s affiliates, and can also learn more about gaming via the site’s gambling magazine. Furthermore, 888.com believes in Responsible Gaming, so it does its best to discourage underage gambling and problem gambling.
Promotions and bonuses
This site can be somewhat aggressive in its approach to promotions, given that it has one of those dialog boxes that ask if you want to download the software as soon as you enter the site. Even if this annoys you, do not let it put you off. Once you get past the initial pushiness, you will find a site that really does try to take care of its players in order to keep them loyal. For instance, the match bonus on the initial deposit has an upper limit of $400. There are also various tournaments, especially for slots and poker. Check out their comp points system, as well, so you can make the most of your gaming and earn points quickly.
Casino's Games
The games at this casino include many of the old classics, such as roulette. There are also many of the most popular varieties of video poker that have blossomed along with the establishment of more and more online casinos. Of course, the affiliates or sister sites of this online casino will give you access to even more games and tournaments, as well.
Safety and security
This site does have a strict privacy policy, though at first it might appear somewhat lax in comparison with those of sites who promise not to disclose your information to any other parties at all. However, keep in mind that those other sites often have affiliates and partners, and it is debatable whether such entities are considered to be “third parties.” This site, at least, is perfectly clear and honest about exactly which of its “friends” will be getting to see your information, and for what purpose.
Support
Phone support is available round the clock, at any day of the week. If you prefer, you can also use the online form, or the search engine that shows you a list of relevant instruction pages. Do read some of the Help sections before you start using the site, so as to prevent some common problems from cropping up at all.
Language
This site comes in a whopping 23 languages, most of them Western. Most of the EU’s official languages are covered here.
US Players
No, US-based players are not accepted here.
