Who are the companies behind the UK’s most popular gambling brands?

Overview

888sports has a native app for both Android and iOS devices. The 888sport mobile app is one of the best iOS betting apps and players will find the 888sport app free download link on iTunes. On the other hand, only players from the UK and Ireland can get the 888sport Android app from the Google Play Store. As the case is with most Android betting apps, users coming from other countries should visit the 888sport site from a mobile device. At the time of writing this review, an 888sports APK app download is not available, but hopefully, that’ll change soon.

888 Bingo

The bingo section is the company’s newest addition after its insertion in 2009. They offer up a really nice range of games including 90 ball and 75 ball variants, but they target the jackpot games heavily, making it a hot bed for players looking for those big prizes from a small outlay. It’s worth noting that in 2012 they won Online Bingo Operator of the Year from the IGA Gaming Awards and in 2014 they won Best Bingo Marketing Campaign at the EGR Operator Marketing and Innovation Awards.

The Stars Group

Founded in Canada in 2001, the Stars Group operates the well-established PokerStars and BetStars brands, but in the UK the firm is perhaps best known for Sky Betting & Gaming (SBG), which it bought in 2018. Thanks to its agreements with Sky television, SkyBet, SkyVegas, SkyBingo, and SkyPoker had become household names in the UK and an attractive option for acquisition by the group.

Sports Betting at 888 Sport

The sports betting section of the company has arguably been their biggest success over the last decade or so. 888 have always been well known for both online casino and online poker, and it was sports that they struggled to really get to grips with for whatever reason.

These days however, their sportsbook is absolutely thriving and they boast tons of sports and markets for their players from a magnitude of countries around the globe. A part of the company’s success in expanding has been their integration with mobile betting. Their betting app was recently re-designed in 2015 and now will hold it’s own against any of the major players in the industry. In fact, it’s often said that the site is easier to manage on mobile than on their desktop format, which is a credit to their betting app more than a disservice to their desktop.

How do I get my £40 welcome offer when I sign-up to 888sport?

Ensure that you use the 888sport promo code 10FREE when doing your first deposit at 888sport. Once you have placed a £10 sports bet then 888sport will automatically credit your account with four £10 free bets upon settlement of your initial bet.

As the firm continues to increase its focus on the expanding North American betting and gaming market, 888 has announced Howard Mittman as President of its US operations.

In his new role at 888, Mittman will be responsible for coordinating the Gibraltar company’s strategic partnership with Authentic Brands Group (ABG), in addition to the rollout of the group’s SI Sportsbook US-focused betting product, which recently secured entry into Virginia.

Commenting on his new position, Mittman said: “I am thrilled to be joining one of the online betting industry’s most respected and successful businesses. 888 has an outstanding reputation for innovation, product leadership, and customer-centricity.

“I have been hugely impressed by the people I’ve met within the business, particularly their passion for product and the customer experience, and I share their excitement about the significant opportunities ahead.

“The partnership with ABG and Sports Illustrated gives us a unique opportunity to deliver world-class betting and gaming products as part of a fully integrated experience with a leading sports media brand.”

Mittman had previously served as CEO of Bleacher Report, where he oversaw the launch of the company’s sports betting project B/R Betting, as well as the opening of a content studio in Las Vegas and facilitation of content, experience and brand partnerships with wagering firms.

With regards to 888’s operations outside of sports betting, he will also be responsible for the firm’s stateside B2B partnerships and management of the World Series of Poker online poker rooms in three states – with the brand set for launch in Michigan.

Mittman’s 20 year career has included his aforementioned tenure at Bleacher Report as well as service as Chief Business Officer of Conde Nast and Publisher and Chief Revenue Officer of WIRED and GQ.

Itai Pazner, 888 CEO, explained: “We are delighted to announce the appointment of Howard as our new President 888 US. This key appointment comes at a hugely exciting point in our long-term growth strategy in the US online betting market as we look forward to launching SI Sportsbook in multiple states in the coming months and years.

“We have established a platform for strong growth in the US through our world-class technology and operational expertise, with the Sports Illustrated brand, and the appointment of Howard, which will enable us to maximise the potential of this unique combination to further grow a profitable business in the US.”

“Howard has an exceptional track record at some of the world’s best known media brands, brings a huge amount of knowledge of the US digital landscape, has exceptionally strong relationships across the world of sports and media, and was the outstanding candidate after a thorough search.”

Publishing its Q1 trading update this morning, 888 detailed that its North American activities are becoming of increasing prominence with Si Sportsbook and the World Series of Poker set for further rollouts – although the firm has encountered difficulties internationally, with its total revenue declining by 18%.

Using the Interface

Unlike most online bookies the 888 homepage is designed to provide a quick overview for punters to browse, so to get to anything else you will have to navigate the site. It’s a good job then that this is so easy.

Once a sport category is chosen you are in for a treat as far as usability goes. It goes without saying that the site moves at speed, but the interface layout and design is so spacious and clear while simultaneously offering more options and information than most other sites at every stage.

For example, your initial choice within any category is to view Live/Upcoming, Outrights, or All Fixtures. Then, you can view the fixtures by date broken into blocks of four which really helps the eye scan the page, and match odds and total goals are displayed by default, but you can display any line of your choosing (Asian handicap, double chance, both teams to score, etc).

The event view feels as though it is running out of space but the betting lines are clear and incorporate a built-in bet builder which feels state of the art. Pre-match stats are on show as well as easy access to the main stats tool. It could do with some space to breath but there is a lot to like here.

Cleverly collapsed markets at every stage of the process give you more for less on each page and allow you to cut out anything you are not interested in.
