As our regular readers will be aware, we regularly audit our list of recommended online casino sites to ensure that standards are being upheld and to check whether there are any new developments to report. This week it’s time to take another look at 888 casino. In spite of a number of television advertisements, 888 is still probably better known as an online sports gambling operator, but those in the know will have realised that 888 casino is now recognised as one of the best online casinos available, both in terms of the casino games they offer and perhaps more importantly their reputation as a secure and fair online casino operator. 888 casino was established in 1997, and along with many of the other major online casinos, is based in Gibraltar. Certified and regulated by all the main online gambling industry governing bodies, 888 casino has won many awards for their handling of problem gambling, particularly underage gambling, with the result that some new customers can get a little frustrated at the details required to register, but rather that than damage the reputation of the whole online casino industry. You can register with 888 casino without making a deposit, and it has to be said that the range of introductory bonuses available are as good as any. Online casino slots players will also find a good range of slots with rolling jackpots, clearly marked with a jackpot ticker under the game icons, plus a chance to win big prizes with 7 free spins every week for a year. 888 casino offers all the most popular casino games, which can be played either in instant casino mode or the download option, plus a live casino option which also includes live baccarat. There is also a 3-D casino option in which the online casino gambler can create their own dealers, so if you want a bit of fun and access to a well presented online casino click on our link and give 888 casino a try.

If you like the idea of bonuses check out their happy hour events, or their video poker and roulette tournaments. For online casino slots players there is even an offer of 7 free spins a week for a year, with the chance to win very big prizes. 888casino has all the features now associated with online casinos including instant or download options, live casino including live baccarat, plus an unusual 3-D casino option in which the gambler can even create their own casino hosts or hostesses. 888casino has all the usual deposit options for online casino games players to fund their accounts, although there are conditions associated with Neteller, and their range of casino games is extensive with something for everyone. We should point out that if you are playing casino games through 888poker or 888sport, you will need to register with 888casino to get the full range of bonuses, so register now from our quick link.

Not all online casino providers have shops on the high street and one of those is 888 Casino which is part of the 888 group which also includes 888 sport, bingo and poker divisions. Listed on the London Stock Exchange since 2005 the 888 group now employs nearly 900 people and operates in 11 languages making it one of the most popular online casinos around. Last year 888 casino released a whole new casino to replace the previous “casino on net” which really brought the graphics to the forefront of online casinos; today 888 casino can be played in instant casino version, download casino version or live casino version and the newest innovation which we believe is a first is called 3D online casino. In 3D online casino you can build your own character and wander around and play your favourite casino games. 888 Casino offers a full range of games from the traditional roulette and blackjack through a large choice of video and traditional slots, some of which have very healthy jackpots, to Keno and Craps. Poker players are catered for with Pai Gow and Caribbean stud but those wishing to play against other players will need to be in the 888 poker section which is easily reached from the online casino. Deposits into 888 Casino can be made in a variety of ways with all the normal payment methods being accepted; it is not the biggest online casino around but it is very well run, it is secure and licensed in all the right places and has good security which makes it in our eyes certainly in the top 4 online casinos and we are pleased to be able to recommend it on this site.

Plenty of Bingo games at 888 casino

Ladies are especially welcome at 888 Bingo but you don’t have to be female to enjoy all the fun and offers at one of the best and biggest online bingo rooms. 888 casino starts a new bingo game every 3 to 5 minutes and draw a new ball every 3 seconds meaning there is not much waiting around time which we all dislike. Depending on your finances you can play for a variety of stakes and from a single card per game right up to 24 cards per game; fortunately you can auto play so you don’t need to keep track of them all. Watch out for some of the 75 ball and 90 ball games where there are additional consolation prizes for 1TG and 2TG (one to go and two to go when Bingo is called). This is also a very good time to join if you are a new player as 888 casino are offering 20 free cards for registering and giving card details. At casino 888 bingo is also well known for the big prizes; unfortunately you are too late to win the Bingo cruise for this year as it has already been won by “tonia37” who is off to the Caribbean next month but there is a £10000 Christmas event coming up on December 22^nd which is not to be missed. You can of course buy your way into the event for £10 but the best way is to play some of the Christmas special games and earn points which will give you free entry; these are easily identified by the Christmas feature winning patterns in the games. Casino 888 runs a bingo loyalty programme in which your lps (loyalty points) can be converted into cash to play games and you can get 1000 points just by signing up. If you like Bingo there are few better places to be than 888 casino.

Poker players stopped to watch the World Cup

admin — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 15:34:33 +0000

Despite some online casino operators reporting increased profits due to the world cup 888 has recently reported first half profits more than halving to $4.29 million. The principle cause according to 888 was the reduced revenue in the poker section which fell by $6.6 million to $19.6 as players deserted poker while watching the football but strangely enough online casino and bingo revenues were up which could suggest that the female population turned to online gambling instead of watching the football. 888 Chief Executive Gigi Levy said “our business experienced a difficult first half against the backdrop of a challenging economic environment” and at the same time announced a scrapping of the interim dividend which would normally trigger a decline in share price but in 888’s case did not. 888 added that both casino and poker divisions had made a strong start to the third quarter aided by the change from Casino on Net to 888 casino as previously reported here at onlinecasino.ie. 888 Has been active in mergers and acquisitions in recent times but it seems it has yet to reap the full benefits of that activity. Analysts will be looking for some of those benefits to hit the bottom line so that the dividend can be reinstated. In the meantime, 888 remains a very strong online casino operator and poorer than expected results in one quarter do not it a basket case and some analysts still expect full year results to be on target.

888 casino will give you a refund if you lose.

admin — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 15:22:50 +0000

There is an interesting offer on the table from 888 casino at the moment but be quick if you want to qualify as the offer expires at midnight on August 26^th. As well as the welcome bonus of a 100% match 888 casino is offering you €20 back if you lose on your first day of playing which is equivalent to a €20 free bet because you cannot lose. There is a play through requirement of 40 times the refund before it can be withdrawn and as is common in online casinos, Roulette and Baccarat are excluded. The offer is strictly limited to your day of deposit. The 100% match bonus on offer is worth up to €140 and it becomes available for play immediately but again there is a play through requirement of 40 times the bonus. Forty times might sound a lot but it is applicable to the bonus only so is equivalent to other online casinos that offer 20 times play through but calculated on the deposit plus the bonus. It does not stop there with 888 casino at the moment as if you sign up and take the welcome bonus you become eligible for 10% bonuses every month for a year in the Happy Hour events. All that means is if you time your deposits correctly you can receive further 10% of your deposit up to €70 every month. Happy Hour at 888 casino is the last day of every month from 19:00 to 21:00 and apart from the added bonus you will find all sorts of interesting tournaments and races. For some reason which escapes us here at www.onlinecasino.ie 888 casino has different rules for a deposit made using Neteller so if you were thinking of using that deposit method check the terms and conditions. 888 casino is a great online casino and now would seem a good time to sign up.

Get rid of Casino on Net and try 888 casino

admin — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 16:30:41 +0000

I you haven’t yet downloaded 888 casino now might be a good time to do it and if you are one of those with Casino on Net still on your computer, uninstall that and download the new version. There are great 888 casino bonuses available as a new player with a play through requirement of 40 times the bonus only which equates to 20 times your initial deposit plus your bonus. Casino 888 keeps offering new things to keep you amused and one of the most amusing is a 100% Deposit Match bonus every Sunday up to €65 which is a pretty good way to start the week but as with all online casino bonuses certain types of game do not count towards the play through requirement. As is normal with the online casinos that we recommend 888 offers not only 888 casino but also the full range of sports betting, poker games, bingo and other games all under different names ( 888 sports, 888 bingo etc.) but all available directly from the main lobby. The only annoying thing about 888 casino is that they require different log ins for the download casino and the instant play casinos and a different one again for 888 sports. The sooner they get that sorted the better as we have enough trouble remembering one password let alone three different ones. That said the graphics are great, the selection of games is second to none and maybe it is just us that has an issue with the passwords because we like to try everything out for you so ignore our moans and play 888 casino online for a lot of fun.

888 to enter the French Poker market

admin — Fri, 14 May 2010 06:30:32 +0000

The online casino operator 888 has announced a partnership with online gaming software producer Microgaming to offer online poker in France. The French online casino market which is still only operated by monopoly state owned companies is due to open up soon to outside interests and this is the first move in that direction although a partnership like this is a new departure. Mr Gigi Levy the CEO of 888 said “This deal marks a turning point in the industry with big networks collaborating in newly regulated markets to create a shared pool of liquidity, benefiting customers and assisting in rapidly generating large poker networks in each market,” while his counterpart at Microgaming Mr Roger Raatgever commented “ We are delighted to be working with 888 to deliver a poker solution to the French market. We look forward to combining our wealth of experience and knowledge to bring the highest global standards to the local market”.

France is still in the process of changing its laws to comply with EU legislation (in typically French fashion:- very slowly) but it is thought that Poker will be ahead of other casino games and we can expect 888 in particular to become active in other online casino offerings in the future.

888 says second quarter is disappointing so far

admin — Sun, 02 May 2010 07:01:45 +0000

888 the Gibraltar based online casino operator has reported vastly differing fortunes for the first and second quarters and has stated its intention to cut costs. First quarter numbers showed considerable growth in operating income with online casino operations offsetting disappointing results from Poker. The number of active poker players actually increased but the operating income decreased suggesting that players were playing for smaller stakes or playing less frequently. The Business to Business division, Dragonfish also had operating income reduced compared to the same period last year. Despite this, second quarter figures have been disappointing according to a company statement and cost cutting measures will be taken. The company currently employs some 900 people but this will inevitable be reduced and even top managers are being asked to take a pay cut. The company normally expects second quarter revenues to decrease but this has been more than expected. CEO Gigi Levy said that he remained confident about the future and also hinted that there might be a couple of acquisitions in the pipeline. 888 remains a big fish in the online casino world and the newly regulated Italian market should soon be producing revenues.
