Positives and Negatives

Positives
  • You can play on 888 Casino from just about anywhere, as long as you have a compatible device and Internet connection. On top of this the casino is accessible in a lot of countries and also in New Jersey in the United States.
  • The 888 group is one of the oldest online gaming companies. Having an account with 888 Casino means you can also access their sports book, poker room, and bingo games.
  • You’ll be hard pressed to find an older or more recognized online casino. To survive, casinos must treat players well and run fair games, and 888 Casino has a solid track record.
Negatives
  • 888 Casino is only available to US players in New Jersey. Although strangely, the casino will allow you to deposit from anywhere in the US, but you can only play in the state of New Jersey.
  • This always seems to be an issue with online casinos and it’s no different for 888 Casino. I’ve seen reports of slow response times and lack of internal communication within the casino itself when resolving disputes. These are quite rare though if you consider how many players use the casino.
  • I‘ve found the odd report out there of withdraw times sometimes taking months. This depends on the withdraw method, obviously a check will take longer, but there also seems to be some reports of purposeful delaying in paying players out. Make sure you fully verify your account on 888 Casino before trying to withdraw, as this may alleviate these issues.
