1.) 888 Casino Games

Players love 888 Casino for its awesome games collection from a team of leading providers like NetEnt, Yggdrasil, Microgaming, Red Tiger, NextGen, IGT, Eyecon, Blueprint Gaming, Evolution Gaming and more as 888 is always quick to pick up games from up and coming game studios.

The casino also has its own team of game developers in-house that also goes by the name Random Logic. The game categories are broad, including slots, progressive jackpots, table games, as well as live casino games. You can also find bingo, poker and a sportsbook; however, this 888 review will focus on the casino.

888Casino Software overview

888 Casino Slots

888 slots are some of the best you can get. With reels from so many developers, there's something for every taste. 888 has conveniently organised them according to their most popular types: jackpots, NetEnt Slots, Yggdrasil Slots, Red Tiger Slots, games that have from 1 to 25 paylines, and games that have more than 25 paylines.

You'll see the new slot releases right when you land, which at the time of review included Nikola Tesla's Incredible Machine from Yggdrasil.

This is a 25 payline slot inspired by the genius inventor and the game has a little bit of a steampunk feel to it.

It's also packed in some special features with tons of Wilds and Free Spins. There are also Megaways slots like Bonanza and Piggy Riches Megaways.

If you're looking for something a bit more old school, then take a look at Hot Spin. It's a 5 reel 20 payline slot that looks like a slot machine you might see in Vegas. It's electric with fruit symbols plus jacked up with a bunch of special features including multipliers, random wilds and a bonus wheel.

Then there are the old faves like Starburst and Rainbow Riches. Don't forget to check out the 888 exclusive slots. Other than video slots like Catch Me If You Can and Euro Reels, there are also plenty of 888 jackpot games.

888 Casino Jackpots

If you're looking for big bounty, then 888 Casino won't disappoint with its jackpot games. There are more than 60 progressive jackpots here, including Divine Fortune, plus Millionaire Genie, which is one of 888's most famous millionaire makers, along with smaller Red Tiger jackpots like Mystery Reel and Pirates Plenty which typically float around the $3,000 mark.

There are also 888 Daily Jackpots, which pay out daily. These have "Daily Jackpot" in the game title and you could stand to pocket around $16,000 or so when you score one of those!

Evolution Gaming is one of the providers at the Live Casino, so you can count on some pretty wild games in extravagant setting such as Lightning Roulette.

In this version, there are added virtual reality features  and it's definitely worth checking out!

Many of the 888 Live table games such as the 888 Xtra Blackjack table have extra bonuses thrown in during certain hours of the day, so don't miss out."

3.) 888 Casino Bonus

888 greets all new players with $88 no deposit bonus and on signing up for an account. You can use these free chips to play any game you like. Players in Canada can then claim a 100% up to $200 Welcome Bonus with their first deposit, or you could choose to claim the Premium Welcome Package which is worth up to $1,500 over 5 deposits all in your first week at the casino.

Once you've played through the welcome bonus cash, you can look forward to Daily Deals. Every day of the week, 888 Casino has something special for its players. Sometimes it can be free spins for a featured game, sometimes it's a lucky draw for a cash prize pool, and then there are also live game specials.

888 Live Casino has something similar to Happy Hours where there are extra prizes put into Blackjack decks, or payouts for everyone whenever the ball lands on an 8 on the Roulette wheel.

The 888 VIP Club also has lots of extra offers for its members. Bespoke bonuses cut to your playing style, real world gifts like iPads, as well as invitations to holidays and events are all part of the deal.

888 Casino Bonus Offers at a Glance

MoreLess

If you already feel confident with 888 Casino you might want to consider the 888 Welcome Bonus for premium players instead of the 100% to $200. You have to choose between the standard bonus or the premium bonus pack when you make your first deposit. The Premium Welcome Package consists of bonuses on your first 5 deposits:

• 1st deposit: 100% to $100. Use bonus code Welcome1
• 2nd deposit: 30% to $350. Use bonus code Welcome2
• 3rd deposit: 30% to $350. Use bonus code Welcome3
• 4th deposit: 30% to $350. Use bonus code Welcome4
• 5th deposit: 30% to $350. Use bonus code Welcome5

Validity: the 5 deposit bonuses are only valid for your 1st week at 888 Casino

Between the regular 888 Welcome Bonus and the Premium Package, which should you choose?

Breaking Down the 888 Casino Bonus Terms

Let's start with the 888 no deposit bonus. As with most no deposit bonuses, you shouldn't expect to get much out of this other than good times. The winnings are capped at $15 and by the time you make the wagering requirement it's not really worth it. That's unless you win a jackpot, of course.

With both the regular Welcome Bonus and the Premium Welcome Package, you will be looking at a 30x wagering requirement. This is actually low compared to many other online casinos. Winnings are capped at $500 unless it's a jackpot win. Thus, even though the requirement is low, it's probably not worthwhile running after bonus winnings unless it's a jackpot.

"Should you decide to meet the wagering requirement, only slots, keno, scratchcards and other instant games will contribute 100%.

Table and card games such as Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, Poker and Craps will contribute between 5% and 20%." Martin Hill – Gambling branch veteran

The 888 Bonus policy is fair and standard practice at online casinos, and if you like slots then you don't need to think too much about these game contributions.

4.) 888 Casino Website

888 Casino is fully instant play. In what feels like aeons ago, online casinos used to require software downloads, but that's no longer the case. There is no software to download as 888 Casino runs completely out of your web browser. Any modern browser will do the job. The site loads in the blink of an eye and your transactions are secured with the highest standards in SSL technology.

The site has a slick, black background, with the casino's logo in an electric green. The 888 login button is in the top right corner. It's easy to immerse and stay focused on the games here.

Although our test team is often skeptical of black backgrounds as they can be just a little too dark and strain the eyes, the design team at 888 has done a great job mixing it with dark greys and other elements to keep the theme comfortable and elegant. The menus are well laid out, with a main menu that you can always access from the left side of the screen to move between the different games, as well as access different sections of your account, such as the promotions and rewards available, along with the Cashier for quick cashout and deposits.

5.) 888 Casino App

888 Mobile Casino is fully based out of your mobile device's web browser. The site and all the games were built on HTML5 so that everything will adjust itself to your device. Switching your gaming from the computer to your phone or tablet is a breeze.

As on the desktop casino, the 888 mobile login can be found in the top right corner. Give it a tap, enter your login info and you're ready to play again. The mobile casino's layout works well and looks neat. There was no 888 Casino app to download at the time of review.

888 Mobile Games

Whether you're looking for mobile slots or live games, 888 Casino Mobile has you covered. Popular NetEnt slots like Jumanji and Finn and the Swirly Spin play beautifully on mobile and you can quickly tap your way through the game. The 888 exclusive games are also in the mobile casino and no matter where you are, you can check in for a spin on their wild reels.

If card and table games are your calling, mobile blackjack, roulette and baccarat are available in a myriad of varieties. 888 live games are pretty famous. Not only will you find Evolution Gaming's live dealers hosting games of Lightning Roulette and Dream Catcher, but you will also find 888 exclusive live dealer games. This includes Live Poker, Hot Seat and of course more Blackjack and Roulette. As on the desktop casino, betting limits on these mobile live games will suit both budget players as well as high rollers.

No matter your mobile device, you can play at 888 Mobile Casino as long as you can connect to the internet. The casino is available as an instant-play, HTML 5 casino that plays out of the web browser.

Since it works from your device's browser it doesn't matter if you are on Android or iOS or Windows.

6.) 888 Casino Deposits and Withdrawals

Other than games, one of the most important things when it comes to online casinos is the banking process. After all, part of the thrill, if not a big chunk of it, is winning real money.

Of course you will need to put in some money before you can start winning, so in this review we will cover the payment methods at 888 Casino Canada.

We'll also talk about the deposit and withdrawal process to give you an overview of how 888 banking works. 888 banks natively with Canadian dollars which makes things clean and straightforward.

Players in Canada can easily make deposits at 888 Casino with Interac as well as other popular payment methods. However, when it comes to cashout, the withdrawal process has a 3 day pending period and it's definitely not the fastest we've come across.

On the other hand, Gold VIP members at 888 have their withdrawal requests processed in 1 day instead of 3. Our tip: The VIP club at 888 is by invitation only, but contact their team if you think you play hard enough to qualify for this status!

All Accepted Payment Methods at 888 Casino

Depositing is where it all starts. 888 deposit methods are numerous and the most popular option for players in Canada is probably Interac. As long as you have a Canadian bank account, you can use Interac to deposit into your 888 account.

You can also use iDebit, which also lets you make instant payments from your bank account without using a credit card. If you prefer pre-paid cards, you can also use Paysafe.

Neteller or Skrill, both of which are standard payment methods at online casinos, are also accepted. Other payment methods include Mastercard, Visa. For 888 mobile deposits, you can use Apple Pay or the MuchBetter payment app.

Keep in mind that not all deposit methods will also allow you to cash out. For example, if you deposit via Apple Pay you will need to choose another payment method for withdrawals. We'll talk a bit more about that later, but for now just know that the 888 payout time ranges from 2 to 10 days in total, depending on which method you are cashing out to.

To make a deposit, log in to your 888 account and then:

• Step 1: Choose the Cashier button
• Step 2: Choose the Deposit button
• Step 3: Choose from the payment methods available
• Step 4: Enter the amount you wish to deposit and then complete the other fields
• Step 5: Click on the Submit button to complete the transaction

"You should see your deposit credited to your 888 account within 10 minutes unless you're doing a bank transfer, in which case it can take 5 business days." Vienne Garcia – author and casino expert

888 Cash Out Process

Now comes the time you've been waiting for: cashout. 888 withdrawals are fairly simple. It all begins with you logging into your 888 account and from the Casino Lobby:

• Step 1: Choose the Cashier button
• Step 2: Choose the Withdrawal button. If you don't see a Withdrawal button, then click on "For more payment methods, withdrawal and other features, click here" line at the bottom of the screen.
• Step 3: Enter the amount you wish to withdraw.
• Step 4: Click on Withdraw to confirm the transaction

888 Withdrawal Methods

Not all of the deposit methods are accepted for cashing out. Interac, Apple Pay are not accepted as withdrawal methods.

In Canada, as in many other countries, Visa and Mastercard are not accepted as withdrawal methods due to limitations set by the card issuers. If you used these methods for depositing, you will have to choose another payment when cashing out.

888 Cash Out Time

Once you've submitted your withdrawal request, 888 has a 3 day pending period before your request will be finalised. For Gold VIP members, this wait time is cut and the request is processed within 1 business day. Then it takes time for the request to actually be processed and the money to actually reach you. If you are cashing out through a wire transfer, it can take 4 to 7 days, while with e-wallets it can be done in 1 or 2 days.

Below are the 888 payout times, not including the pending period:

• Bank transfer: 4 to 7 days
• E-wallets such as Neteller, Skrill: 1 to 2 days

---

You may cancel or reverse your withdrawal request during the 3 day pending period by going back into the Cashier and selecting the Reverse Withdrawal button.

888 Casino Banking Limits and Fees

Account Verification for First Withdrawal

The 888 payout times posted above does not include the identity verification process, which must happen before your first withdrawal can be processed. This is for security reasons and to prevent money laundering.

To verify your account at 888, you will need to upload certain documents. Photo ID such as your driver's licence or passport is necessary, and your name, photograph and signature should be clearly visible.

Then you should also provide a proof of address, such as an electricity bill or bank statement with your name on it. These documents all need to be notarised with a stamp to prove it's official.

Most banks will notarise these documents for their clients for free, or may charge a small fee for non-clients. Then you need to upload these documents to 888 by going to the Cashier again, and selecting the Verify ID button. From there you can upload photos or scans of the documents.

It's recommended that you get started with the verification process shortly after making your first deposit. This will make the wait time with your first payout go by much quicker!

7.) 888 Casino Customer Support

An often overlooked aspect at online casinos is the customer support. Games are great and all, but what happens when you need help?

There will come a moment when you might want to speak to a customer service representative, even at the most perfect online casino. Usually this happens when it comes to promotions and banking. Our team has put together information on 888 Casino Support in this review here, paying specific attention on how it works out for Canadian players.

888 Support begins with a very extensive and well written FAQ in the Support Center. You can check the information provided in the various sections, or type your question directly in the Search bar at the top of the screen.

If the FAQ doesn't answer your question, you can contact 888 support through the contact form on the casino's website. Live chat is available when you login. There was no 888 phone support in Canada at the time of review. However, you will find that with both Live Chat and the Contact Form, the customer service team is very quick to respond and is helpful.

If you're a VIP member at 888, you will have access to chat, calls, as well as email.

If you want to reach the 888 customer service team, you can reach them through Live Chat, or send them a message from the casino's website contact form. You will find that the team will answer promptly and is very helpful.

There is no Canadian 888 customer service phone number, although phone support is available if you're a VIP member. You can also get in touch with the team through social media such as Twitter and Facebook.

Let's get back to the Contact page and the form, that will let you choose which part of the 888 family you are playing in - Casino, Poker or Sport. Then you can select the category your question is related to, which are largely split in Bonuses and Promotions, Deposits, Withdrawals, Technical Questions and so on.
