Licence and background
888 started in 1997 and is among the pioneers of online casino and poker. The parent company renamed itself evoke in 2024 after buying William Hill, and it is listed in London. 888 holds a UK Gambling Commission licence and local licences in Spain and other European countries.
The group has pulled back from the United States, so the brand is no longer a factor there.
What you get
One account covers casino, poker and sport. The casino mixes familiar slots with in-house games that are exclusive to the group. The poker room attracts a recreational crowd and offers fast formats such as SNAP and BLAST. The sportsbook is competent without being the deepest.
UK protections apply on the British site, including GAMSTOP and the slot stake limits.
Our take
A reliable all-rounder that makes most sense if you want casino and poker together. For sports alone there are stronger options. Casual poker players will find the tables softer here than at the largest rooms.
