Note: Please keep in mind that this is our personal 888sport review, not a blatant promotion for the company. We discuss what’s good and bad with the goal of giving you a realistic idea of what it’s like to bet at 888 sportsbook.

888Sport is an old and experienced name in online sports betting. 888 launched in 1997 and has since served tens of millions of sports bettors from around the world. As a publicly-traded company on the London Stock Exchange and holder of a license from the UK Gambling Commission, 888Sport.com is well established as one of the major players in the international gambling market.

Today, 888 Holdings PLC generates hundreds of millions in yearly revenues in the range of £300 million through its online sports betting and gambling apps which our team of editors views as a sign of financial stability. 888Sport has also proven to be a bookmaker with staying power as a brand, having served the online gambling industry for over 25 years.

The rest of this 888Sport betting review details everything 888Sport.com has to offer, including pros and cons. Our aim is to give punters enough information to make an educated decision on whether to bet at 888Sport or search for a different app.

888 Sports Betting Review

888Sport is heavily invested in its sports betting division with extensive coverage of over 36 different sports. Each sport offers punters hundreds of markets for events big and small to wager on. Whether it’s a UEFA Champions League Final or a handball match between Montenegro and Serbia, 888 Sportsbook has the action most recreational bettors are looking for.

Major sports such as football, cricket, baseball, and basketball often have upwards of 100 different bets for each match – an impressive range of options for any online bookmaker. Overall, the odds for major bets are competitive when compared to other sports betting sites.

We recommend opening an 888Sport account to check when shopping for the best lines.

The 888Sport website and sports betting app are easy to navigate and user-friendly. Choosing any sport from the left navigation pane brings up a list of all upcoming matches and a wide range of wagering options.

Bets are added to integrated betting slips in your account once selected. This slip shows the amount being risked and potential winning payout amounts

Pro tip: confirm all wagers through the betting slip before accepting any wager, reducing the chances of placing a bet unintentionally.

888Sport Live In-Play Betting

Live in-play betting can be found by clicking on the “live betting” tab near the top of the screen. Doing so will show you a list of events that are running right now. Choose any event and you’ll be able to place in-game bets at constantly updated odds. Select the schedule and you’ll see a list of all live betting events for the next week.

888 may have the most in-depth in-play schedule of any bookmaker in the world. On any given day, they open the markets on at least 30 live events. What stands out is the fact that 888 doesn’t just offer live betting on major games. They offer it for everything from major international matchups to obscure Asian events that you probably won’t find anywhere else.

888Sport Live Streaming Options

Additionally, 888 offers live streaming of a whole variety of events for customers based in the UK and Ireland. If you have money in your account OR have placed a bet of at least £1 in the last 24 hours, you can watch live sports for free online at the 888 website or through your mobile device. Major matches in football, basketball, ice hockey and more are all streamed live at no cost.

Individual Match Statistics

One of the more unique things offered by 888 is a statistics screen you can visit from any individual matchup page. If you click on the little graph icon below the names of the two sides, a pop-up will appear with information about each side’s last few matches, any information about past contests between the two, individual players of note and a variety of other stats. I find the stats screen useful whenever I’m on the fence between two closely-ranked teams.

888Sport: League and Sports Coverage

888 provides wagers on all the following sports: horse racing, greyhounds, football, tennis, cricket, basketball, snooker, darts, golf, ice hockey, American football, Australian rules, baseball, beach volleyball, boxing, chess, cycling, e-sports, field hockey, futsal, handball, motorsports, netball, pesapallo, politics, rugby league, rugby union, surfing, trotting, MMA, volleyball, winter sports and entertainment/pop culture.

888 Horse Racing Betting

The 888 horse racing betting section offers a sleek horse racing betting interface on desktop and in the mobile betting app that is easy to use for newbies and veterans alike. Simply click on “horse racing” from the main sports betting menu and you will be presented with a quick view of the next races, major events, and range of betting options.

A clean 888 racebook interface makes it so that you will have no trouble placing a horse bet. Each bet type is clearly labeled and you will see at a glance how to select multiple horses for your forecasts/tricasts.

On the negative side, 888’s horse racing betting markets are somewhat limited. 888Sport does not offer many advanced horse racing wagers. The only types of horse racing bets 888sport offers are straight win bets, forecasts, and tricasts. Additionally, there is no way to sort through all available tracks. 888 only shows today’s races and future major events such as Cheltenham and the Grand National.

On a positive note, 888Sport has top-notch horse racing handicapping tools. The iCard Predictor is among the best handicapping tools available at any online racebook. iCard predictor is completely free to 888 horse bettors, read on for more details.

What is 888’s iCard Predictor?

888Sport iCard serves as an all-in-one handicapping tool for horse races complete with advanced predictions, horse analyses, track overviews, jockey histories, recent form, head-to-head matchup statistics, trainer information, and more.

When a race inside the iCard predictor is selected, it shows a graphical representation of what it anticipates to be the first, second, and third-place finishers. iCard makes these predictions by looking at every horse in the race and comparing dozens of parameters related to everything from each horse’s recent outings on down to the minutest detail such as which direction the horse seems to prefer running.

The iCard predictor can also be toggled to compare and filter horses according to different parameters: its predictions for each horse winning, each horse achieving a place result, each horse according to recent form, and each horse according to the jockey and trainer.

iCard even provides detailed information on every major course around the world. Select any track for its background information, address, website, phone number, and a visual depiction that shows distances, turns, jumps, and even which directions the course runs.

Horse bettors also use iCard to find lists of steamers (horses that are seeing heavy betting action) and travelers (horses that have traveled the farthest) for help in quickly finding promising bets. Additionally, iCard provides daily horse racing news and industry updates from around the world.

Note: iCard is free and horse racing fans do not need an account at 888Sport to use iCard.
