Seriousness and security – very secure environment at 888sport

The sports betting provider 888Sport is a wholly owned subsidiary of 888 Holdings PLC, which has enjoyed a very good reputation as an operator of gaming offers for many years. The company was founded in Israel, but has been headquartered in the English capital London for some time – and is also listed there on the stock exchange. This speaks for a great financial security and seriousness. As a listed company, 888Sport has to publish its business figures on a regular basis and is under the watchful eye of British financial regulators. At this point there is the greatest possible transparency.

888Sport operates its sports betting offers in the European Union with a valuable EU license from Gibraltar. The local authorities only issue the corresponding license under strict conditions and subject the licensees to an examination at regular intervals. In this area too, 888Sport can be attested to having a very serious and reliable environment. Anyone who fears fraud or rip-off need not worry about 888Sport.

Betting offer – Absolutely impressive in breadth and depth!

When it comes to betting, 888Sport can definitely keep up with the leading bookmakers in the sports betting industry. More than 30 different sports are  on the program here every day  . Customers can choose from up to 40,000 individual bets every day – so 888Sport is in the absolute top field compared to the competition. As with many other bookmakers,  football is the dominant sport  in 888Sport’s betting range. However, the betting provider not only has the most important European leagues such as the Bundesliga, the Premier League, the Primera Division and the series as well as the Champions League and Europa League in its program.

At 888Sport, friends of more exotic leagues will also find what they are looking for. There seems to be hardly a country or league around the world that does not appear in 888Sport’s football betting range. In our test, for example, bets on games in Honduras, Japan, Morocco, Peru, Romania, Venezuela, Australia, Vietnam or Chile were possible.

Despite a clearly recognizable focus on the leagues in Great Britain, 888Sport’s soccer betting portfolio is terrific, especially for German betting enthusiasts. The bookmaker offers bets  down to the various top leagues (5th division), regional cup competitions and even the junior Bundesliga  . So if you have special expertise or local tips, 888Sport is the ideal bookmaker for your football bet. Furthermore, special bets on coach dismissals or even player changes are regularly offered.

After “King Football”, the popular sports tennis, basketball and ice hockey are primarily represented in the 888Sport betting range. These include the important US disciplines such as baseball and American football, as well as boxing, golf, cricket, snooker, darts, handball, volleyball, winter sports, motor sports, horse racing and even fringe sports such as surfing or chess. We can only take our hats off to the betting offer from 888Sport!

Live betting – focus on football and tennis

The live betting offer from 888Sport is strongly based on the pre-match offer. Consequently, football bets are also  dominant here . Visually, the live betting offer is integrated very well and clearly into the website. There is praise for the fact that a separate live betting console was not used. This keeps the betting offer compact and user-friendly. In addition to current soccer games around the world, live tennis betting is particularly important.

During our test, we noticed very positively that 888Sport is not limited to the matches on the ATP tour and WTA tour. The bookmaker also offers live bets on the games of the “smaller” ITF tournaments and challenger tournaments all year round. Furthermore, basketball, ice hockey, handball (including the German Bundesliga) and volleyball are the most important sports in the live betting segment. It is a bit of a shame that the popular Cash Out function, with which you can buy out early from live bets, is not yet available.

Betting odds – 888Sport is in the top field

As a rule, it can be said that the payout percentages of the reputable and popular bookmakers level off  between 90 and 95 percent  . This value shows the profit margin that a betting company claims for itself. In our test, 888Sport’s quota key was  just over 94 percent , which is an absolute top value.

The odds at 888Sport are extremely stable. We did not notice any significant fluctuations in top sporting events shortly before the start, nor were there any clear tendencies towards favorites or outsiders.

888sport welcome bonus: up to 100 euros for all new customers!

In order to win new customers in Germany when re-entering the local market, 888Sport has come up with a really attractive bonus offer. The bookmaker lures with a 100% bonus of up to 100 euros and at the same time with very fair play-through conditions.

It should also be noted that the bonus is only valid for customers residing in Germany. In this case, betting enthusiasts in Austria or Switzerland are left out.

To take advantage of the 888Sport Bonus, you must first register as a new customer via our link and make your first deposit. To get the maximum bonus you only have to deposit 100 euros. Now it is first of all to implement this deposit amount twice in full in the area of ​​sports betting . Only single bets with a minimum odds of 1.5 apply  .

If that is done, 888Sport will credit your betting account with another 100 euros. In the second step, the bonus must now be used five more times  . The minimum quota of 1.5 applies again  . So if we continue to assume the maximum bonus amount of 100 euros, after receiving the bonus you have to wager a total of 500 euros (5x 100 euros) as sports betting before you can request a payout.

You have a total of 30 days to meet the rollover conditions. The bonus is only valid once per person, based on household, IP address or credit card. If the bonus conditions are not met within the specified period, the bonus and all winnings obtained with it are forfeited.

Mobile app

Like almost all leading bookmakers, 888Sport also offers its  full (!) Betting range including live betting for all mobile devices  . Betting on the go is no problem at 888Sport. IPad or iPhone users can conveniently get the corresponding app in the app store. If you use an Android smartphone, you can simply download the 888Sport app in your browser. If you don’t want to download the app separately, you can also use the mobile version of the website. Here, too, there were no problems whatsoever in our test.

Betting tax – German customers pay five percent

After the betting tax was introduced in Germany in 2012, 888Sport was initially one of the bookmakers who took over the tiresome tax for customers. A short time later, however, the betting provider withdrew from the local market. Unfortunately, when he made his comeback in 2016, the way of goodwill came to an end. In the meantime, 888Sport is doing it like most of its competitors: The five percent betting tax is borne by German customers. Specifically, this means that five percent of the stake is immediately deducted from every bet. Here is a concrete example of how betting tax is calculated in practice:

• Stake: 100 euros
• Betting tax: 5 euros
• Net stake: 95 euros
• Betting odds: 2.0
• Net payout: 190 euros

Further 888Sport offers – One of the market leaders in the casino and poker sector

Before 888Sport appeared as a sports betting provider, the company operated very successfully for many years in the field of online casinos and online poker. Here 888 Holdings PLC is traditionally one of the absolute market leaders. The range on offer is correspondingly broad and attractive. Gambling fans will find everything their heart desires here. The technical implementation is also flawless.
