About 888casino: Licensed Casino and Sports Betting for UK Players

A licence from the UK Gambling Commission applies to all sports betting and casino activity offered by 888casino, a regulatory requirement for operators accepting customers in Great Britain. The platform pairs that licence with a broad catalogue of sports markets and casino titles, positioning it as a practical choice for UK bettors who want everything under one login.

• Breadth of Sports and Events. Markets cover major UK fixtures such as Premier League football, ATP and WTA tennis, and British horse racing meetings, alongside international events across more than 20 sports. Live betting allows odds to update as matches progress, so wagers can be placed throughout an event.
• Account Security and Encryption. Customer data and payment details are protected using SSL encryption, a standard also applied across UK banking services. Accounts require identity verification in line with UK anti money laundering rules, and deposit limits, session reminders and self exclusion tools sit within the account settings menu.
• Mobile Access on Android and iOS. A dedicated app is available for Android and iOS devices, covering sports betting, live betting and casino games without needing a desktop browser. The app carries the same game library and betting markets as the desktop site, including account management, deposits and withdrawals.

The founder, Avi Shaked, co-founded the business in 1997 together with Aviad Kobrine and Shay Kobrine, launching the site as Casino-on-Net, among the first licensed online casinos. The company grew into 888 Holdings plc, a constituent of the London Stock Exchange from 2005, before merging with William Hill’s international betting business in 2022 and rebranding as Evoke plc in 2024. Evoke plc remains the brand’s owner, led by chief executive officer Per Widerström. Headquarters sit within the Evoke group, registered in Gibraltar, with operational offices supporting UK customers under a Gambling Commission licence. Within the UK market, 888casino ranks among the longer standing online casino and sports betting brands, supported by sponsorship deals, affiliate partnerships, and loyalty promotions such as the VIP programme.
