Welcome Bonus
You need to dig a little to find it, but you actually have two options when it comes to your welcome bonus. The standard bonus gives you a 100% first deposit match up to $200, and the premium bonus gives you up to $1500 bonus dollars to play with based on your first 5 deposits.
Before we get to the wagering requirements and other terms, let’s go over what the premium bonus really gives you:
Deposit 1: 888casino will match 100% of your deposit up to $100 (use promo code Welcome1)
Deposit 2: 888casino will match 30% of your deposit up to $350 (use promo code Welcome2)
Deposit 3: 888casino will match 30% of your deposit up to $350 (use promo code Welcome3)
Deposit 4: 888casino will match 30% of your deposit up to $350 (use promo code Welcome4)
Deposit 5: 888casino will match 30% of your deposit up to $350 (use promo code Welcome5)
Additionally, if you make your 2nd to 5th deposit within the first week of signing up and wager them 3 times, you can get another 30% on each deposit (up to $350) you make within 72 hours.
Now back to our regularly scheduled terms and conditions discussion. To activate your bonus, you need to deposit at least $20 into your account. And withdrawing winnings from either bonus requires you to stake 30x any bonus money.
For example, if you deposit $20 and receive $20 bonus dollars, you’ll have to stake 600 before you can withdraw your winnings.
Like most casinos, what you play will affect reaching these requirements. Slots contribute 100%, while other games contribute 5-20% to your wagering requirements.
Finally, no matter which bonus you choose, you get $88 to play with before even making a deposit. However, the same wagering requirements apply, so if you want to withdraw the funds, you will have to make a deposit eventually.
Games
When it comes to 888casino games, let’s put it this way, your chances of getting bored with their selection of games is hovering around zero. You’ll find a huge variety of slot games (including jackpots), table games such as roulette, card games with plenty of poker styles, and live games.
Every slot player knows that they’ll be able to find a variety of fun themes, but unlike most of the other casinos we come across, a couple of the card and table games on 888casino also have fun themes. For example, you can play Caribbean poker.
The only thing missing is betting for sports fans, otherwise, their bases are covered. You can even demo most of the games for free before you sign up.
You can also treat yourself to a competitive way of playing slots that is becoming more popular for online casinos to host: races. Each race has its own prizes. It could be Free Play, Free Spins, Bonuses, or Cash. According to the website, there is one main race each day that offers the biggest prize.
Each race requires its own minimum bet, and although you can play before and after the timer, only spins made on the clock count toward your points. Points are gained through different kinds of wins, including jumbo wins and monster wins.
To play the available games on the go, you can download the 888casino app.
Look
You can tell that 888casino focused on the details when building this website. The colours are striking and high-contrast, the graphics are dynamic and exciting, and the game icons are large and astonishingly consistent (which is difficult for most online casinos, since they get games from different providers).
If there’s a downside to how the site looks, it’s that the theme is just predictably ‘casino’. You get images of jewels, coins, and games, usually with blurred out pictures of slot machines adding depth to the background.
There’s really no pushing the envelope there. But hey, you’re looking for an online casino, so that might be exactly the vibe you’re looking for.
888casino continues to win points in the area of navigation. Unsurprisingly, the buttons that allow you to sign up or log in are the first things you see. But unlike most sites, you don’t see the navigation bar across the top. You get what is arguably more important to a casino, the game categories.
If you want to bring up a more detailed site navigation bar, it’s clearly marked as a drop down menu at the top left of the screen. From here you can find the help section, promotions, membership, races, etc.
Customer Support
If you want to play at an online casino where your inquiries can instantly be answered by a living, breathing human, this is not it. You only have one avenue for asking questions, and that’s filling out their contact form with your name, email, and question.
But the bright side is, they have made every attempt to make finding the answers to your questions easy to do. When you click the ‘help’ button on the navigation bar to the left side of the screen, you’re brought to the ‘888casino Support Centre’.
You can use the search bar to find articles related to your question, which we have verified works quite well to narrow down to a topic. Or, you can scroll through their well-organized list of topics to find what you’re looking for.
While there’s a lot of information available, we found that some of the titles could be a little more descriptive to help you find the right info.
When you scroll a little further down the page, you’ll find an FAQ section with answers to the top 6 questions. Some answers give you full detail right on the page, while others will direct you to the correct pages.
This section is definitely helpful, but at times, it can feel like a wild goose chase through the website.
Conclusion
888casino is a visually stimulating, well organized website that goes above and beyond to highlight what every casino should be: fun! And when you start scrolling through the games they offer, you’ll realize the promise of the dynamic graphics are fulfilled. There are enough options available that you won’t be getting bored anytime soon. When you sign up, you get $88 to play with before you even make a deposit, and when you do make a deposit, you get to choose from two very different welcome packages. The weakest aspect of the site is the support. Your only contact option is email.
