888Sport Review

Globally, 888 is considered a powerhouse in the online betting industry. Now, bettors in New Jersey get to test-drive this UK-based platform for themselves. With an active sportsbook in NJ and casino and poker options available more widely in the states, it’s clear American bettors will have 888 Sport as a strong option in the future.

The desktop site won’t blow you away. There are no shiny bells and whistles to be found, but it gets the job done. Users get all their pertinent information presented plainly with little-to-no unnecessary fluff or flair. App users get a more premium experience. The 888Sport mobile app is incredibly fun and easy to use. It takes the simplicity of the desktop site and streamlines it with a more modern feel.

New users get a great deal with the 888Sport sign up offer. After depositing, make a single-game wager. If your bet loses, you will be refunded with an equal amount of bet tokens up to $500. With no turnover rate, this is a very good deal for newbies. Mix this in with regular promotions for existing users and 888 offers bettors a sweet deal.

On the downside, customer support and payment options are limited. There’s no live chat or phone line for users that need urgent help. In terms of payment options, there are plenty of deposit methods available but to withdraw online-only users are limited to ACH and PayPal.

Overall, 888Sport offers bettors a very fun experience. The shared wallet functionality of the sportsbook, casino, and poker platforms gives NJ bettors plenty of freedom in how they wish to wager.

• Very convenient sports betting app
• Shared account with 888 Casino and 888 Poker platforms
• Valuable bonus offer

• Lack of customer support options
• Limited availability across states

One area where 888Sport is merely adequate is promotions for existing customers. They offer a decent number of promotions but are decidedly less generous than competitors like PointsBet.

• Odds Boosts - Occasionally, 888Sport will offer enhanced odds or profit opportunities for bettors. These are the most commonly offered existing customer promotion on the market, and 888 actually offers these far less than their competitors.
• Bonus after 1st Live Bet - After trying out live betting for the first time, 888 Sport will reward you with a $10 Bonus whether you win or lose.
• 888 Pick 8 - Free-to-play pool where you can win up to $8,000 in weekly prizes.

These are decent deals for returning customers, but 888 Sport lags a bit behind its competitors in this regard. Along with their solid sign up bonus, I have to say that 888Sport's are pretty strong.

These individual promotions all have their own Terms & Conditions so make sure to read your T's & C's!

888 sport is currently only available to players in New Jersey. As with many books, their slow rollout in the US has begun in the Garden State. We hope to see them expand to more states soon!

To sign up for 888Sport you will need:

• Full name
• Date of Birth
• Address
• Email
• Passport number*
• Social Security Number

*If you do not have a passport, contact customer service for assistance

You do not need to be a resident of the state, but you must be physically located in New Jersey to play. 888 Sport uses geo-locating technology to ensure that users are not placing bets outside of New Jersey.

In baseball terms, the 888Sport website is an RBI single. It’s not sexy, but it gets the job done. By contrast, the 888Sport app is a home run.

Here you get all the functionality of the desktop site in a much sleeker package. Featuring tabs for top games, live betting, upcoming match-ups, and promotions, the 888 Sport App gives you everything you want.

This app is fun and easy to use. It’s easy to see why it currently has a ⅘ star rating on the App Store.

The app is available on the App Store for iPhone users.

888Sport offers a wide variety of deposit methods. They include your standard options of Visa/MasterCard, ACH, and PayNearMe. Users at The Caesars Atlantic City Cage in New Jersey can make instant cash deposits and withdrawals.

Unfortunately, there are significantly fewer withdrawal methods. Here you are limited to ACH, PayPal, or a 888Sport Play+ card.

Bettors on 888Sport can take advantage of the following deposit options:

• Visa, Discover, & MasterCard
• PayPal
• Play+ Card
• Online Banking
• PayNearMe
• ACH
• In-person at Caesar’s Atlantic City Cage in New Jersey

Deposits are available in your account instantly. The minimum deposit is $10.

You can withdrawal your money from 888Sport via the following methods:

• PayPal
• Play+ Card
• ACH
• In-person at Caesar’s Atlantic City Cage in New Jersey

Withdrawals can take up to 6 days. The minimum withdrawal for all banking options is $10.

Crucially, 888Sport does offer PayPal support for both deposits and withdrawals. This is the only e-wallet offered by the site and given the limited two-way payment methods is probably your best bet for convenient banking.

Deposits are available instantly, while withdrawals usually take no more than 3 days. Like their other payment options, the minimum deposit and withdrawal requirement is $10.

888 offers the wide variety of sports you would expect from a major sportsbook. Major sports offered include:

• Baseball
• Football
• Basketball
• Hockey
• Soccer
• Tennis
• Golf

With plenty more available, it’s hard to argue against their variety of offered sports. When you add in the 888 Poker & 888 Casino platforms that you can access via one account, you get quite a varied betting experience.

888Sport offers users an entire section of their website devoted entirely to live betting.

There is an extremely wide variety of selections to choose from ranging anywhere from the NFL to lower-ranked tennis events.

Navigation is quick and easy and odds are updated quickly. While those are pluses, there isn't a very good system for live tracking that allows you to watch how your bet is unfolding. Compared to sites like Bet365 and FOX Bet, 888Sport's live betting features leave a bit to be desired.

888Sport Live Streaming

Unfortunately, 888 Sport does not currently offer live streaming of any events. They do back in Europe, so we hope this will change in the future.

Originally founded as an online casino site that has since expanded to include sports betting, 888 allows users to use their sportsbook, casino, and poker options all from one account.

888Sport came to US shores in 2018, but their online casino and poker platforms have actually been on our side of the pond for close to a decade. In fact, 888Casino has been active in New Jersey since 2013.

888Casino has over 1,000 games, many of which are exclusive to 888. Gamblers can take advantage of slots, table games, and even live dealer games. 888 made their bones as an online casino platform, and it's clear they excel especially in this area.

If you’re more interested in playing slots than betting on tonight’s NBA action, you’re in luck. 888Casino is offering new users the opportunity to win big on their dime with a $20 bonus, no deposit needed.

Simply click that green 'CLAIM' button above, and you'll be well on your way.

One area where 888 Sportsbook is definitively lacking is their customer support. While there is a pretty detailed FAQ support center, there are no live chat, email, or phone support options. The only way to get direct support is to fill out a contact form.

In 2021, this does not live up to the standard set by the competition. While the FAQ pages provide a sturdy framework for what could be a solid suite of support options, 888 has decided not to invest in this area.
