888Sport Review

Visiting the 888Sport platform proves one thing above all else – that this brand has exceptional design skills. The website is kept simple in terms of its colour scheme, and offers an easy-to-use setup, with different sports being displayed down the left-hand side, and the remainder of the screen filled with relative information on events that are live right now and the next upcoming options. It uses the colours of orange and black, which merge perfectly together to create an inviting and welcoming sportsbook, and the Join Now button easily stands out in its vibrant yellow.

It’s not all about placing bets from your desktop computer at home, though. 888Sport is also very compatible with smartphones and tablets. So, if you want to engage in some bets while you’re away from home, you can do so through the mobile version of the site. The layout of the mobile version pretty much echoes the desktop, with the oranges and blacks shining through, and the navigation menu able to be loaded up from the left-hand side.

Anyone wanting to access the mobile app instead will find it to be a swift download and easy install. The app is available for both Android and iOS devices, and you’re able to do all the same functions through it as you can on the desktop version of 888Sport. All of the same promotions are available as well, and you can even receive notifications on your bets, upcoming events and even live streaming of the horse racing events is possible, too.

888Sport is big on its live betting possibilities, which is why it highlights this on the left-hand side of the screen with a bold, red ‘LIVE’ button. You’re able to engage in some in-play betting on numerous different sporting events this way, including darts, baseball, football and Rugby League, to name a few. It’s also in this section of the sportsbook that you can make use of the cash out feature if you wish, which can give you the benefit of closing a wager prior to the event’s completion. This allows you to remain in profit or reduce your losses significantly.

The 888Sport site does also offer you the option of live streaming, but this is only available on horse racing events for the time being. This is, of course, a bit of a let-down when compared to several other online sportsbooks. However, it’s available on both desktop and mobile versions of the platform, and the streaming is present in high definition, too. A qualifying bet of €2 or €1 each way must have been placed on the race you wish to view.

Pre-match odds prices at 888Sport can be considered extremely competitive with the overall market. The majority of these prices are mostly in the mid to high area, with football being the highest at 97.59%. Basketball can also reach 97.43%, while tennis hits highs of 96.69%. When it comes to the profit margin for 888Sport overall, it stands just slightly below the 6% mark, providing some quite stable margins.

The 888Sport platform has plenty of markets for its members to bet on, with popular ones being listed on the website first. These include football, horse racing, greyhounds, darts and tennis. And while these are joined by a number of other standard sporting events, there are some unique opportunities at the sportsbook, too. The Politics section for example, allows you to bet on the outcome of the 2020 Presidential Election or the next Norwegian General Election. Meanwhile, the TV & Novelty section provides the chance to bet on the outcome of Big Brother Australia 2020, The Bachelor Australia 2020 and other diverse markets.

Registering for an account at 888Sport will see you joining a well-respected and reputable online sportsbook. This part of the brand has been active since 2008, although it provided poker and casino options in years prior to this. Today, the 888 Holdings Plc company is listed on the London Stock Exchange and the site holds gambling licences from the UK Gambling Commission, Malta Gaming Authority and the Gibraltar Gambling Commission. These ensure that a fair gambling experience is had by all at the site, and despite one or two blips in 888’s overall operations, the sportsbook has been generally unscathed by black marks against its name.
